Research group Encountering Subject Matter Didactics and Post-Theoretical Approaches

This research group explores how post-theoretical approaches can be used for critical and creative analysis of teaching and learning.

Group description

One aim of subject matter didactics is to offer concepts for a critical and creative analysis of teaching and learning in dfferent educational contexts. How can post-theoretical approaches be put to work for this purpose? This question is one of the main focuses of the 'post-theoretical' research group. Working with this question as our starting point we explore the encounter of subject matter didactics and theoretical approaches such as poststructuralism, postcolonialism and posthumanism. More specifically; which analytical and methodological tools can the post approaches offer the questions and challenges within subject matter didactics? How can research methodologies within post-approaches become productive within subject matter didactics? What could materialize if we work with these approaches in educational practice as well as in analysis of teaching and learning? How might curriculum, school subjects, textbooks, and teaching practices informed by post-theoretical approaches turn out?
