A long lasting engagement for physics education parallel to his science research resulted in a shift and Habilitation in this field (1997).

His current interests in research and development are, among others, the following: n- science of everyday phenomena, cross-disciplinary connections of physics with the other sciences, hands-on-experimentsn- the role of tasks and exercises for fostering learning and motivation (on topics such as context-based science education, experimental tasks, multiple representations and more).
