معرفی
Anne Trapp is a Lecturer (Studienrätin) at Bielefeld University's Faculty of Educational Sciences, working at the Academic Institution Oberstufen-Kolleg. Since August 2022, she has served as a seconded teacher while pursuing her doctorate, focusing on collaborative lesson planning in the context of digital transformation. She coordinates the Community of Practice for inclusion-sensitive teacher training in the BiLinked project and manages the Bi*digital network. Trapp also serves on the university's Taskforce for AI in Teaching since 2024 and contributes to school development initiatives at the Oberstufen-Kolleg.
Trapp's educational background includes a 2-Fach-Bachelor and Master of Education in German Studies and Biology from Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster (2006-2011), teacher training at Erzbischöflichen Ursulinenschule Hersel (2012-2014), and prior studies in Educational Science with a focus on speech therapy at Universität zu Köln (2005-2006).
Her research focuses on digital transformation in education, particularly examining phase-connecting collaborations in teacher education, learning and teaching in digital cultures, and the impact of generative AI on educational practices. Trapp investigates how digital tools can enhance inclusive teaching while addressing the challenges of rapidly evolving technologies in classroom settings. Her work emphasizes practical applications that bridge theoretical educational concepts with real-world classroom implementation.
Analysis of Trapp's recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on the intersection of artificial intelligence and education, with particular attention to practical implementation strategies for teachers. Her work consistently addresses the tension between technological innovation and educational tradition, seeking balanced approaches that enhance rather than disrupt teaching practices. A notable trend is her focus on collaborative planning across educational phases and the development of sustainable digital teaching cultures.
Trapp actively contributes to educational development through her leadership roles, including:
- Coordinating the Community of Practice for inclusion-sensitive teacher training
- Managing the Bi*digital network for digital educational initiatives
- Serving on the university's Taskforce for AI in Teaching
- Organizing professional development events focused on digital transformation
Her work demonstrates significant impact on teacher training programs and digital education strategies at Bielefeld University and beyond, particularly through her efforts to create practical frameworks that help educators navigate the rapidly changing technological landscape of modern education.
