Univ. Prof. Dr. Nele Kampa
Since August 2022, I am a professor for School Pedagogy with special Emphasis on secondary level Education and head the department of the same name at the Centre for Teacher Education. My research is rooted in empirical educational research, teaching and learning in school as well as profession research. My research focusses on predictors of school success (e.g., self-efficacy), (dealing with) heterogeneity of students, professionalization of teachers and teacher students.

Dr. Roman Zviagintsev
My acquaintance with the educational sciences began with school psychology and educational assessment. I am most interested in the topics of educational inequality, assessing the quality and dynamics of educational systems, and the working conditions of school teachers. I favour quantitative or mixed-methods research designs, usually involving a psychometric approach to measurement and data analysis, but described through a sociological or social-psychological lens.

Antonia Paljakka, BA MA
Since 2017, I have been working at the Centre for Teacher Education as a university assistant (praedoc) in the field of educational science, doing research and teaching. I studied Educational Science (Bachelor, Master) at the University of Vienna and during a one-year Erasmus stay at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland in 2014/15. My cumulative dissertation is on the topic of "Teacher sensitivity to bullying among students" and I am also working on this in international and interdisciplinary research groups. Other research interests include school and classroom research, teacher education and professionalisation research.

Freya Winterle, MA
I am a research assistant in the field of school pedagogy with a special focus on secondary education in the project Professional Support for Low-Performing Students - Extension (PULS:E). My research focuses on the support of students with heterogeneous learning conditions. In a multi-perspective approach, I investigate both the perspective of students with different levels of achievement on teaching and the self-efficacy of teachers to teach low-performing students.

Mag. Vincent Schatz
After working for several years as a teacher of German and chemistry, I have now been part of the school education team with Univ.-Prof.in Dr.in Nele Kampa since October 2022. Matura Ö is the title of my dissertation project, in which I am examining the grade reform of the Austrian Central Matura of 2020. I focus on changes in the grading behaviour of teachers in the course of the grade reform and on possible connections with teachers' beliefs about different functions of performance assessment. With my teaching on the orientation practicum, I have been accompanying student teachers in their first experiences in their new role as prospective teachers for several years. Apart from my university activities, I am also particularly interested in ways of holistic-organic school development and in ways of supporting pupils, teachers and head teachers in their individual development of potential.

Christina Hasenhüttl
Since December 2023 I am part of the team for school pedagogy at the Centre for Teacher Education at the University of Vienna under Prof. Dr Nele Kampa. In my position as Prae-Doc I am working on the topic of school choice behaviour and educational inequality in Austria. As part of the research project 'Heterogeneity dimensions in the classroom', I am researching the transition between primary and secondary school in my dissertation project. I am particularly interested in AHS recommendations by primary school teachers for pupils who do not have the necessary grade requirements for AHS. In addition, I am researching the school choice behaviour of different groups of students based on the primary, secondary and tertiary effects of social background according to Boudon (1974).
Previously, I studied in The Hague, Jerusalem and Oxford and taught for two years as a Teach for Austria Fellow at a new secondary school in Vienna Ottakring.
