Olaf Krey

Olaf Krey is a full Professor at the Institute of Physics within the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Technology at the University of Augsburg. He leads a research group focused on physics didactics, with secretariat members Norbert Büttgen, Jens Klinghammer, Stefanie Peter, Lisa-Marie Christ, and Manuel Schleicher.

Krey's research interests span the role of mathematics in physics education, self-efficacy expectations in teaching and learning physics, and historical perspectives in physics didactics. His work emphasizes bridging mathematical reasoning with physics concepts, analyzing identity constructions in STEM education, and developing instruments to assess educational outcomes.

• Key article trends include:
  • Mathematics-Physics interplay
  • Stem identity development
  • Educational video analysis
  • Historical science integration
