Biography

Meike Bonefeld focuses on the professionalization of (prospective) teachers, examining how teachers’ actions respond to the challenges of a heterogeneous student body considering performance, gender, migration, and social background from educational science and pedagogical-psychological perspectives. She employs both quantitative methods (longitudinal analyses, multilevel models) and qualitative approaches (open production tasks, interviews), utilizing experimental paradigms such as vignettes and field studies with cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. Her research interests include determinants of judgment distortions among teachers, the professionalization of teacher judgments and actions, educational practices, and exclusion situations in the intergroup context among students. Bonefeld emphasizes both practical orientation in teaching and research and networking with various educational stakeholders. She offers courses in the module Education and Socialization within the Master of Education program. Additionally, she provides opportunities for students to engage in research internships and supports the preparation of teaching and research activities at her department.
