Anna Shevchuk is a research associate at the Department of Education and Socialization at the University of Freiburg. Her research focuses on the (implicit and explicit) stereotypes and attitudes of teacher trainees and teachers towards students with diverse backgrounds, particularly concerning migration background, socioeconomic status, and gender. She investigates how these background characteristics and beliefs subsequently influence the emotions and behaviors of teachers within the school context. Additionally, she explores awareness of (unconscious) bias towards specific social groups. Together with colleagues, Shevchuk examines the extent to which educators are aware of their biases, particularly towards students from disadvantaged backgrounds or with specific migration histories. Her research employs both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including experimental designs and correlational approaches. In her teaching, she conveys the fundamentals of educational and psychological diagnostics relevant to teaching and learning processes and the application of diagnostic methods such as testing, observation, and surveys.
