Rouven Pankrath

Rouven Pankrath is a Research Assistant and doctoral student at the Chair of Mathematics Education within the Department of Didactics, Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Friedrich Schiller University Jena. He joined this position in April 2022 after completing his State Examination for Teaching at Gymnasiums in Mathematics and History at the same institution. Previously, he served as a Student Assistant for Linear Algebra courses (2017-2021 and 2020-2022).

His research centers on developing digital competencies for STEM teachers, with a focus on mathematics education. Key areas include:

• Designing university courses to enhance pre-service teachers' digital skills
• Implementing Delphi studies to define competency frameworks
• Leading the THInKI-LA subproject investigating basic digital literacy
• Creating practical teaching resources like task catalogs and curricula

His publications reveal a strong emphasis on teacher training methodologies, with recent works (2022-2025) exploring competency frameworks through expert consultations, needs assessments, and interdisciplinary approaches. Notably, his research employs Delphi studies and stakeholder analyses to shape teacher education programs.

He actively disseminates his findings through international conferences (e.g., Psychology of Mathematics Education and Society for Mathematics Didactics) and workshops for educators. Recent presentations address mathematical foundations of AI, responsible technology use, and core digital competencies for teachers.
