Professor Annette Textor holds a Professorship for Educational Science with a focus on empirical school research at the Faculty of Education, University of Bielefeld. She serves as Scientific Director of the Scientific Institution Laboratory School and is an active member of multiple university committees including the Faculty Conference (FaKo), Internationalization Commission (InKo), and the Institute for Interdisciplinary Conflict and Violence Research. As Spokesperson for university lecturers, she represents academic staff interests within the university structure.
Prof. Textor's research focuses primarily on inclusive education, school development, and empirical school research. Her work examines the practical implementation of inclusion in educational settings, teacher training for inclusive classrooms, and the structural development of schools as learning organizations. She has developed assessment frameworks for identifying quality inclusive teaching practices and investigates how educational institutions can better respond to diverse student needs. Her research extends to sustainability education and the relationship between education for dignified living and addressing epochal challenges.
Her recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward practical applications of inclusive education theory, with significant emphasis on teacher training, school development models, and empirical research methodologies. The publications show strong collaboration with colleagues across disciplines, particularly in developing frameworks for assessing inclusive teaching quality and understanding educational transitions. There's a notable focus on the Laboratory School model as a site for educational innovation and research-practice partnerships, with increasing attention to sustainability education and pandemic-related educational adaptations.
Prof. Textor actively contributes to educational policy through her leadership roles, particularly as Scientific Director of the Laboratory School where she oversees research-practice partnerships between the university and school settings. Her work on the TRANSiT project examines European approaches to inclusive teacher education, while her research on school enrollment patterns and segregation processes provides empirical foundations for educational decision-making.
As Scientific Director of the Laboratory School, Prof. Textor leads a unique research-practice partnership where university and school staff collaborate on educational innovation. This institution serves as both a research site and a model for school development, with particular emphasis on inclusive practices. Her work with Working Group 4 focuses on school development and empirical research methods to improve educational practices, creating a bridge between theoretical educational research and classroom implementation.
