MONITORING - EVALUATION - IMPACT EVALUATION
The Competence Center for (Higher) Education Research (KfBH), originally founded in 2004, has been integrated into the Center for Quality Analysis (ZQA). The KfBH is a research institute that assesses the German education system and the shape and direction it should take in the future. It focuses on social science research in the areas of:
Quality management and research on quality assurance, teaching concepts, competence orientation and guiding principles of teaching
In projects such as the "Competence Network Quality Assurance in Teacher Education (QSL) in Saxony" or the "Quality Analysis at the University of Cooperative Education Saxony" we conduct surveys among students and teachers on the quality of teaching, analyze the study situation and study progress, develop instruments for the evaluation of teaching, or accompany study guidance and mentoring programs. learn more
Higher Education Monitoring and Study Success Research
In this field of work we conduct projects such as the "Saxon Student Survey" (2005 - 2012 - 2017 - 2022 - 2027 ...), "PASST? Partnership - Successful Studies- TU Dresden", "Successful - Digital - Integrated: Studying at TU Dresden (EDI:TUD)", "Student dropouts in engineering at Saxon universities" (2010-2012) or "Saxon University Report" (2004-2012). learn more
DIGITALIZATION AT UNIVERSITIES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR ITS SUCCESS
In projects such as "tech4compKI - Personalized Competence Development & Hybrid AI Mentoring", "Scientific Evaluation of Virtual Teaching at the TUD in the Corona Pandemic since 2020" or "Blended Learning Analytics", we are working on assessing the impact and effectiveness of digital higher education and the conditions for its success, as well as on the digitalization of evaluation processes and survey & evaluation methods. learn more
