Franz Emanuel Weinert
Franz Emanuel Weinert (born September 9, 1930 in Komotau , Czechoslovakia , † March 7, 2001 in Munich ) was a German psychologist and, among other things, Vice President of the Max Planck Society . Weinert's definition of the concept of competence in a report for the OECD on which the “ Klieme Expertise” is based and thus has a decisive influence on the current educational reform in Germany is particularly powerful .
Weinert was appointed to Heidelberg University in 1968 . Here he occupied the newly created chair for developmental and educational psychology . In the following years he was particularly powerful in these two areas. His services as a mentor and his activities within the framework of the German Research Foundation and the Max Planck Society are also significant . Among other things, he was founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Psychological Research in Munich. From 1984 to 1986 he was President of the German Society for Psychology . In 1984 he was accepted as a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences .
The Psychological Institute of Heidelberg University has been awarding the Franz E. Weinert Memorial Prize annually since 2003 .
