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

At the Chair of Education with a focus on Diversity Research and Educational Spaces in Middle Childhood, the transfer of knowledge between research and teaching is international, across all levels and multi-perspective.

The relationship between theory and practice is reflected in curricular teaching cooperations with (external) school experts (e.g. from architecture, cultural studies or social pedagogy) and made fruitful for educational professionalization processes.

This chair combines epistemological work with empirical research in the following areas:

• Professionalization of Teacher Education
• Diverisity and Inclusive Gifted Education
• Education and Spatial Research
• Internationalization of Teacher Education
