Maria Todorova

Maria Todorova is a researcher at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, specializing in empirical educational research and science pedagogy. Her work focuses on professional vision development for pre-service teachers, video-based learning, and language-sensitive teaching methods in primary science education. She has held research positions since 2013 and received a DBU doctoral fellowship (2006–2008).

Her research spans teacher training, self-efficacy, and digital integration in education. Recent work examines adaptive planning competencies through practice-based learning environments, tablet-based instruction for science knowledge, and reflective skills during practical semesters. Publications emphasize the interplay between video analysis, pedagogical beliefs, and instructional support.
