Research
The IQB is an academic institution, which means that in addition to the services it provides for Germany’s states, it also runs numerous projects in the field of empirical educational research. Below are some examples of the key questions that IQB research seeks to answer:
- How are students’ competencies structured and how can they be reliably assessed?
- Which factors affect the educational success of children and adolescents?
- How can the methodological and statistical requirements of educational testing and large-scale assessments best be met?
- How do students develop the language and reading skills that they need to succeed in school, and how can we measure and promote them?
- To what extent and under which conditions do teachers adopt competency-oriented teaching methods?
- How can new technologies help conduct sophisticated diagnoses of student competencies?
