Georg Jäggle

Prof. Georg Jäggle is a Professor of Vocational Education at the University College of Teacher Education Vienna (PH Wien), specializing in educational robotics, STEM pedagogy, and sustainability education. He leads the Department of Vocational Education within the Institute for Secondary Level Vocational Education (I:SBB). His work integrates technology-enhanced learning environments, focusing on project-based methodologies to bridge gaps between education and industry needs. Key projects include the Recycling Heroes initiative (2022–2024), which employs citizen science to promote circular economy awareness, and the EU-funded ER4STEM project (2017–2018), fostering STEM engagement through robotics.

Prof. Jäggle holds a Dipl.-Ing. (FH) and a Dr. in engineering education, with prior industry experience as an engineer and vocational school teacher. His research emphasizes digital competence development, intergenerational learning, and inclusive education strategies. He has coordinated interdisciplinary teams across 10+ EU and national projects, including RoboCoop (2018–2022) and Makers@school (2017–2019), which implemented robotics and maker culture in schools. His teaching spans applied mathematics, engineering, and automation technology at both academic and vocational levels.

Research interests include technology integration in vocational training, lifelong learning frameworks, and the impact of educational robotics on student motivation. Recent publications (2022–2024) explore STEM career self-efficacy, sustainability curriculum innovation, and cross-generational robotics collaboration. He currently serves in the Center for Research Management (Zentrum Forschungsmanagement) at PH Wien, advancing applied research in MINT (STEM) education and educational technology.
