Kick-Off Conference 2023
On 4 and 5 December 2023, the DFG Research Unit CORE on "Critical Online Reasoning in Higher Education" was launched with an international conference held at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
The conference program was full with engaging sessions of all ongoing projects in CORE, and discussions, which provided invaluable insights into the current state of research and also into initial findings.
Prof. Stefan Müller-Stach, Vice-President of JGU Mainz, opened the KickOff conference with awelcome to participants, and Prof. Olga Troitschanskaia, spokesperson for CORE, introduced the widely renowned members of the CORE Research Advisory Board and the International Principal Investigators.

On the first day, the Principal Investigators presented their projects from the three research areas, A, B and C, with the diverse research approaches and initial results. Topics ranged from the modeling, measurement, and development of Critical Online Reasoning skills when solving generic and domain-specific online task to qualitative and quantitative analyses of online media used by students to exploration of narrative framing and latent meaning structures found in online information, and finally approaches to assess processes during task solving, track students’ online behavior in assessment, and infrastructure to bring together the diverse data streams.
The second day of the conference included speed coaching with of YORE participants and expert members of the Research Advisory Board from both Germany and abroad. Presentations of initial results from the CORE Task Groups, and a roundtable discussion to foster collaboration and to share expertise were the centerpiece of the second day. The event concluded with critical feedback from the Research Advisory Board, summarizing outcomes and outlining the next steps.
