Life

Hermann Rüppell spent the first years of his life in Berlin as the son of the zoologist Werner Rüppell . After his father's death in 1945, he and his mother Elisabeth moved to Winsen an der Luhe, where he also attended school from 1947 to 1961. Afterwards, he initially took several semesters of mathematics and medicine before beginning to study psychology at the University of Hamburg in 1964 . In 1970 he completed his main diploma there. He named Peter R. Hofstätter , Kurt Pawlik , Dirk Wendt and Reinhard Tausch as his teachers . In the following year he received a research assignment supported by the Volkswagenwerk Foundation and based at the University of Hamburg on the "Possibilities of intelligence development through games". In 1973 he did his doctorate under Hofstätter and Wendt with a thesis in the field of mathematical psychology. From 1974 to 1979 Rüppell worked as a research assistant at the Psychological Institute of the University of Bonn . At the same time, from 1975 to 1979 he carried out a research project on image-assisted learning funded by the German Research Foundation. In 1979 he was appointed Academic Councilor in the Department of Developmental Psychology and Educational Psychology at Ursula Lehr , before heading from 1980 to 1984 a research project on the diagnosis of gifted mathematics and natural sciences.

His habilitation at the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Bonn took place in 1985. As part of his habilitation, he dealt with new learning environments and image-supported thinking. In the same year he took over the chair for educational psychology at the University of Cologne.

Projects

ALICE - multimedia lecture on educational psychology

The Alice CD was developed at the end of the 1990s at Hermann Rüppell's chair as a multimedia lecture on educational psychology and as learning material for students of the subject. The initial word "ALICE" stands for A daptives L ernen - I nteraktiv, C ooperativ, E xplorativ , bringing the cornerstones of the project are designated.

OASES - Online Academic Student Examination System and StudyBuddy

Behind the initial word OASES are "cooperative and competitive online learning games" that have only recently been developed at the chair and have now been used at the University of Cologne for 2006 . As part of the games, knowledge is to be consolidated through specific exercises, with the games being played against other fellow students. In addition to media education, art history and some philological subjects at the University of Cologne are mainly involved in the project and offer educational games on the platform to accompany events.

A follow-up project called StudyBuddy is now looking into the feasibility of such an online learning game platform in schools. This platform has been visually revised compared to its predecessor OASES and is freely accessible to everyone after registration. Furthermore, every member of the site can easily create educational games themselves. On the website of this project, Rüppell provides educational games in the field of school mathematics for grades 9 and 10 at high schools and comprehensive schools in a separate area .
