Biography
since April 1, 2004, the professorship for the didactics of chemistry at the Faculty of Biology, Chemistry, and Pharmacy of the Freie Universität Berlin has been occupied. Since then, I have been tasked with representing the concerns of chemi- didactics. I studied Chemistry and Sports, Pedagogy and Sociology at the University of Kiel, and I taught six years of middle and upper grades. After completing my studies, I promoted the chemistry of chemilactics at the Leibniz Institute for the Pedagogy of Natural Sciences (IPN) in Kiel. Before I moved to Berlin, I worked for five years as a research assistant at the Department of Educational Science at the University of Hamburg.
