Chair of Educational Science with a focus on Diversity Research and Middle Childhood Education

The knowledge transfer between research and teaching at the chair is international, cross-phase and multi-perspective.

The relationship between theory and practice is reflected in the context of curricularly anchored teaching collaborations with experts from and outside of schools (e.g. from architecture, cultural studies or social pedagogy) and made fruitful for school professionalisation processes.

The Chair combines epistemological work with empirical research in the following subject areas:

• Professionalisation Research in Teacher Education
   
• Diversity and Talented Education Research
   
• Multicollectivity, Education and Space
   
• ESD in Teacher Education
   
• Internationalisation of Teacher Education
