معرفی
Malte Ubben is an academic affiliated with the University of Münster, focusing on quantum physics education, astrophysics pedagogy, and educational technology. His work emphasizes conceptual development in science education and the effective integration of mobile devices in classrooms. He leads projects like the EU-funded ARISTARCHUS (2022–2025) and the sfs initiative (2019–2023), exploring enacted learning and BYOD strategies in STEM education. Ubben collaborates extensively on studies assessing smartphone usage impacts, haptic models for quantum concepts, and low-cost experimental setups using 3D-printing and LEGO®. His research spans over a decade, with recent contributions addressing quantum workforce training and the cognitive dimensions of mental models in science education.
Education & Projects: ARISTARCHUS (EU Erasmus+), sfs (Joachim Herz Foundation), and federally funded networks. Publications span Education and Information Technologies, Frontiers in Education, and Physics Education. Active in conferences like the DPG Frühjahrstagung and CERME12. Current office hours: Open-door policy at Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 10, Room 728.
Research Interests: Quantum physics pedagogy, technology-enhanced learning, mental models in STEM, smartphone integration challenges, and topological approaches to quantum phenomena. Recent work evaluates BYOD effects on mathematical modeling and investigates preservice teachers' astronomy conceptions.
Publications Overview: Over 30 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters since 2018, focusing on educational technology, quantum visualization tools, and low-cost experimental methods. Key themes include haptic models for abstract concepts, classroom device policies, and topological quantum theory applications.
