Andreas Eichler

Andreas Eichler is a professor in the field of Mathematics Didactics at the University of Kassel, Germany. He is actively involved in research projects, teaching, and supervision of doctoral students in mathematics education and related fields.

• Professor at University of Kassel
• Focus on mathematics didactics, particularly for secondary education
• Leading the interdisciplinary DUDa project on data literacy
• Supervising doctoral students in mathematics education
• Publishing extensively in mathematics education journals

Professor Eichler's research focuses on key areas in mathematics education, including Bayesian reasoning, data literacy, statistical education, and the development of diagnostic competence in prospective teachers. His work emphasizes visualization techniques in mathematical learning and the use of digital tools in education. He has conducted extensive research on how students understand statistical concepts and how teachers' beliefs and practices evolve throughout their careers.

His publications and research projects show a strong interest in making mathematics relevant to real-world situations and improving students' ability to handle uncertain data. He investigates how different visualizations affect understanding of statistical concepts and how digital learning environments can enhance mathematical reasoning.

Professor Eichler has supervised numerous doctoral students who have completed their research on various topics within mathematics education, including Bayesian reasoning, diagnostic competence, visual thinking, and digital learning environments. His supervised theses reflect his broader research interests and contribute significantly to the field of mathematics didactics.
