Project 1: ADHD in the classroom

Prof. Dr. Hanna Christiansen & Prof. Dr. Malte Schwinger

PhD Students: Martina Dort, Anna Enrica Strelow

Within the frame of the RTG’s subproject "ADHD in the classroom", teachers’ expectations of students suffering from ADHD shall be examined (which expectations exist, can be changed or are difficult to change and to what extent do these expectations of the teachers influence the pupils’ school achievements?). Once these basics have been investigated, an intervention will be developed to help students with ADHD to successfully cope with school demands and to reduce stress and work load among teachers. The project is thus located at the interface between clinical child and youth psychology and educational psychology and is supervised by Prof. Christiansen (clinical child and youth psychology) and Prof. Schwinger (educational psychology).
