VERA - comparative tests in elementary school and the eighth grade
Welcome to the website of the VERA project group at the Center for Empirical Educational Research (zepf) at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau, Landau campus.
With this website, the project group provides several federal states with a portal for the implementation of the comparative tests in elementary school and in the eighth grade. The staff of the project group carry out the evaluations of the annual comparative tests and prepare various feedback reports, which are made available to the participating schools in the protected areas.
The individual menu items on these pages can be used to call up general information on the comparative tests and display the federal states participating in the project in Landau. In addition, teachers from the participating federal states can access the separate protected areas for VERA3 (elementary school) and VERA8 (eighth grade) in order to download materials for carrying out the comparative tests, enter the pupils' test results and finally view or download feedback on the tests.
In 2012 and 2015, we offered the evaluation of the competence tests in Italian as a second language for the Autonomous Province of Bolzano / South Tyrol.
The VERA project was originally developed by Prof. Dr. Andreas Helmke and (Prof.) Dr. Ingmar Hosenfeld as a comparative test in elementary school back in 2003.
