Young Scientist Award of the DGP's Division of Educational Psychology goes to Anna-Sophia Dersch

We are pleased with our PhD student Anna-Sophia Dersch, who received the Young Researcher Award of the Division of Educational Psychology of the German Society of Psychology (DGPs).  

The award was given for her paper "Does Processing the Specialist Problem Improve Learning About Math-Gender Stereotypes?", which investigates how learning about math-gender stereotypes can be improved. The study is part of her dissertation project on reducing (math-gender) stereotypes in teaching-learning contexts.

Anna-Sophia Dersch had presented the paper at this year's conference of the Special Interest Group Comprehension of Text and Graphics (SIG 2) of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) in Kiel together with her co-author, master's student Johanna Bohm.

The prize funds the conference trip to Kiel with up to €1000 and also includes financial support for the English-language revision of a manuscript. The prize was awarded to Anna-Sophia Dersch at the DGPs meeting in Hildesheim on September 12, 2022. Congratulations!
