Lotte Hahn

Lotte Hahn is a researcher at the Institute of Physics, specializing in Physics Education within the Faculty of Natural Sciences II at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. Since March 2021, she has been pursuing her doctorate and working as a research assistant, focusing on digital media integration in teacher education through projects like BMBF’s DikoLa. Her work bridges physics didactics and educational technology.

• Studied secondary school teaching in biology, physics, and astronomy (2014–2021)
• Research assistant in biology didactics (2019)
• Conducted state examination thesis on comparative life satisfaction in Romanian and German educational contexts (2020)
• Worked on digital media implementation in teacher education (2021–2023)

Her research centers on explainer videos in physics teaching and attitude research, analyzing how educators perceive digital tools. She contributes to projects evaluating the impact of digital transformation on science education, with a focus on self-directed learning modules and collaborative teaching strategies.

Hahn’s publications from 2022–2025 highlight trends in explainer video adoption, digital competency development, and gamification in science classrooms. Her work often involves interdisciplinary collaborations with institutions like the Center for Teacher Education at Halle-Wittenberg.

She is a member of the Society for Chemistry and Physics Education (GDCP) and the German Physical Society (DPG). Her career reflects a commitment to modernizing science education through digital innovation.
