Carolin Eitemüller

Carolin Eitemüller serves as Academic Councillor at the Institute for Didactics of General Education, University of Münster since March 2025. Previously, she held research positions at the University of Duisburg-Essen including Research Associate (2021-2025) and Research Assistant in the "Educational Equity in Focus" project (2016-2020), with doctoral work under Prof. Maik Walpuski.

Her academic qualifications include:

• Dr. rer. nat. in Chemistry Education (University of Duisburg-Essen, 2015)
• 2nd State Examination (Schinkel Comprehensive School, Osnabrück, 2016)
• Bachelor/Master in Chemistry & Biology Education (University of Osnabrück, 2011)
• Study Abroad at Amersham & Wycombe College, UK (2011-2012)

Dr. Eitemüller's research pioneers digital solutions for chemistry education, focusing on adaptive learning systems that address educational inequity through internal differentiation. Her work integrates automated formative feedback with multistep chemistry exercises to support diverse learners, particularly during school-to-university transitions. She examines how molecular representations affect cognitive load in organic chemistry while developing practical classroom tools for equitable instruction.

Analysis of her 2018-2024 publications reveals consistent innovation in digital formative assessment, with increasing emphasis on AI-driven feedback systems and empirical validation of learning tools. Her research bridges theoretical educational psychology with classroom implementation, prioritizing practical solutions for chemistry teachers through digital learning units and differentiated task design.

Current work continues within the University of Münster's Institute for Didactics of General Education, building on collaborations with Stanford University's Prof. Jonathan Osborne and the "Educational Equity in Focus" project team.
