    Educational monitoring
------------------------

  In the area of educational monitoring, ZIB is responsible for implementing and analysing the PISA studies in Germany. In addition, ZIB contributes to the preparation of PISA at the international level and enriches the study through national extensions such as PISA Plus.

Work in this area focuses on analysing PISA 2025 and preparing PISA 2029. In addition, ZIB is currently participating in the creation of the international PISA questionnaires under the leadership of DIPF.

    Educational research
----------------------

  This area focuses, in particular, on research questions which are linked to PISA. Current projects include inDits, which examines the comparability of the innovative domains previously assessed in PISA and longitudinal developments, as well as PISA-Ceco, which investigates teaching with regard to various quality characteristics.

    Methodological research
-------------------------

  The programme area of methodological research deals with the question of how the collection and evaluation of data from international comparative education studies can be optimized in order to achieve the best possible analysis. These methodological issues may relate to all other areas of research.

How we support early-career researchers
---------------------------------------

One of ZIB’s central aims is the support of early-career researchers. ZIB strives to be a point of contact for young scholars from its own institutions as well as from other organizations and disciplines. Through regular academies and workshops for early-career researchers, we provide concentrated methodological and subject-specific expertise to support the next generation of researchers.
