معرفی
Torsten Kreher is a Researcher (wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter) at the University of Rostock, Germany, affiliated with the Graduate School Program (GSP). Based at Kröpeliner Str. 57, Room 308, he holds regular office hours for students during academic semesters and maintains an active research profile in biology education. Dr. Kreher holds a doctorate in natural sciences (Dr. rer. nat.) and contributes to academic discourse through publications and teaching activities.
His research focuses on the pedagogical impact of outdoor learning environments, particularly school gardens and "green" educational spaces, on secondary students' comprehension of the nature of science and their psychological well-being. He investigates how practical biology work in natural settings influences cognitive development and emotional states compared to traditional classroom instruction, emphasizing intervention-based methodologies to measure educational outcomes.
Analysis of Dr. Kreher's 2018-2023 publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory centered on developing assessment instruments for nature of science conceptions, designing comparative intervention studies across learning environments, and demonstrating measurable benefits of green spaces. His work consistently shows that outdoor biology instruction in school gardens enhances students' understanding of scientific principles while improving well-being for educators, trainees, and pupils.
No scientific awards, graduate student advising records, research grants, or laboratory facilities were documented in the source materials, though his collaborative work with Christine Retzlaff-Fürst indicates active research team participation.
