    Member of the DFG project "Ratgeben und Ratnehmen zwischen Selbst- und Fremdoptimierung. Empirical reconstructions of the production and reception of advice media"

    Advice books are almost omnipresent as media offerings for self-optimization and optimization of others and offer a wide range of topics for shaping one's life. On the book market, on the Internet, in magazines and newspapers or on television, there is now a wide range of popular advice on education, teaching and learning at school, the desire to have children, pregnancy and childbirth, (baby) care, health, nutrition, sexuality, self-confidence and much more. Historically, advice media have a long tradition, but the topics and forms of offerings have become significantly more differentiated in the course of the scientification and medialization of human life in industrialized nations in recent decades. Advice books can be described as optimization media par excellence, as they address specific practical questions, possible problems or deficits and offer those seeking advice and others potentially interested in a topic the prospect of immediate help and improvement of their respective situation. To date, only selective empirical research has been carried out into which topics and in which media forms guides are produced or offered and by whom they are received, how and for what purpose. The network addresses this desideratum. The fundamental aim is to record the subjective perspectives of the recipients (taking advice) and the offers of the producers (giving advice) in order to expand the state of research with empirical findings on advice media, especially for parents, teachers, children and young people.

    Project "Inclusive pedagogical qualification in teacher training"

    The university training of teachers in Germany continues to face major challenges in the area of inclusion pedagogical qualification (IpQ). Against this background, the research project uses a deductive document analysis (Kuckartz, 2016) to investigate the main research question of what differences exist with regard to the allocation of inclusive education learning outcomes (LO) within module handbooks (MHB) of primary school teacher training courses when the competence profile of the European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education (EADSNE, 2012) is taken as a basis. The MHB of 76 study programs at 46 higher education institutions (HS) in all federal states were examined. The results, which provide indications for curriculum development, show, among other things There are major differences, in some cases deficits, in the location of LO to IpQ between the federal states, the HEIs and degrees.

    The follow-up studies will also look at curricula from countries that have made further progress in the area of inclusive education qualifications. Another aim is to conduct surveys of teacher training experts, special and general education teachers and students.

    "Health didactics" project

    The interdisciplinary and international health didactics network, which is currently made up of 33 experts at 24 university locations and 22 different subject areas, has set itself the task of establishing health didactics as a sub-discipline that deals with the theory and practice of health teaching and the resulting special features of teaching and learning on the basis of general and subject area didactics and health education.

    A concept paper for a model degree course in "Health Education" is currently being drafted, which can be used in the future as an implementation orientation at various university locations, based on the "Health Didactics" (Goldfriedrich & Hurrelmann, 2021) published by Beltz Verlag, among others. The course is based on a broad and multidimensional understanding of health and is positioned across the existing school (all school types) and extracurricular courses in education and health science. In cross-university cooperation with the existing subject didactics, in particular with the didactics of subject teaching, sports didactics, biology didactics, nursing didactics, etc., the focus will be on the location of modules on health didactics.
