Organizing Education in Kindergarten - Project "BIKO"
The practice-oriented research project, BIKO ("Bildung im Kindergarten organisieren") set out to create a bridge between current research/scientific kowledge in educational psychology and actual pre-school and Kindergarten practices. The project began in 2007 as a pilot project, which led to two rounds of research in the years 2007-2008 and 2010-2011.

The research results of the project embrace several areas of pre- and early childhood education:
- The provision of professional observation, documentation and support materials for pre-school educators
- Assembly of area specific game cards and developmental milestones for age appropriate early childhood education
- The creation of materials for the organisation of pedagogical work plans
Individual BIKO-Projects:
- Development of a BIKO-Screenings for supporting basic competencies in 3- to 6-year-olds
- ESEL MäKi (Emotionen im Spiel erleben - Eine Märchenintervention im Kindergarten) - An interventional study into the support and development of socio-emotional competences
