Joaquin Veith

Joaquin Veith serves as Group Leader of the "Digital Media in Physics Education" research group at the Institute of Physics Education, University of Leipzig since January 2025, following prior roles as Acting Professor for Physics Education (2019-2023) and Research Associate at the same institute.

His academic credentials include:

• Doctorate in Mathematics Didactics, University of Hildesheim Foundation (2019-2023)
• First State Examination for Gymnasium Teaching in Physics/Mathematics, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (2013-2019)

Veith's research spans physics and mathematics education with strong emphasis on digital media integration, particularly YouTube's role in teacher training and classroom instruction. His work examines pre-service teachers' video selection behaviors, relationships between video features and explanatory effectiveness, and conceptual understanding in astronomy and advanced mathematics.

Recent publications (2023-2024) reveal consistent focus on digital educational resources, with studies analyzing YouTube usage patterns among educators, video quality assessment frameworks, and student conceptions in astronomy. This research trajectory demonstrates growing scholarly attention to online video platforms' pedagogical applications in STEM education.
