Life
Hans Schiefele was born as the son of the elementary school teacher Hans Schiefele. During the Second World War he served as a soldier on various fronts and was seriously wounded shortly before the end of the war. Following a shortened training as a primary school teacher, he worked in school from 1947 to 1959, during which time he completed a second degree in psychology with minor subjects, pedagogy, anthropology and literature , which he graduated from the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich in 1956 (LMU). After receiving his doctorate under Philipp Lersch in 1957, he was offered a position as a teaching assistant at the Munich-Pasing University of Education . In 1962 he completed his habilitation with a thesis on motivation in teaching at the LMU Munich.
From 1962 he was a lecturer and later professor for educational psychology at the Augsburg University of Education . In 1968 he was appointed professor for empirical education and educational psychology at the LMU Munich.

Schiefele retired in 1990, and Heinz Mandl was his successor on the chair .
Scientific focus
In the phase of the new beginning of educational-psychological research after the end of the Second World War, Schiefele was one of the first German-speaking scientists who advocated a consistent orientation towards the principle of empirical-analytical research. B. with a view to studying fundamental principles of human learning. A central theme of his scientific work was the research of school learning motivation , which was the focus of his habilitation thesis published in 1963. A particular concern for him was the question of the appropriateness of the action-theoretical concepts of achievement motivation that prevailed in the psychological discussion at the time , which in his opinion paid too little attention to the content- related components of learning motivation. To counter this deficit, he and his staff developed a theory of learning motivation that is more tailored to pedagogical issues and in which the concept of interest plays a central role. The focus is on two research goals, namely the investigation of the mode of action of interests in the context of school learning and the analysis of the development of interests in the individual life course. The ideas of the Munich interest concept were taken up in different research contexts also internationally and theoretically further developed.
