Our Vision

Our team “Interdisciplinary Didactics of STEM Subjects and Physical Education” strives to actively shape the future of education through innovative perspectives. The central starting point for this is our research on didactic designs of teaching-learning processes in order to further develop teacher training in the course of studies, in teacher traineeships and in schools.

In this context, one research focus is on interdisciplinary school and teaching research in the STEM subjects and physical education. We explore new possibilities for interdisciplinary didactics, for example through our work on strengthening the digitization of educational processes. For this purpose, we work, for example, on 360° videos, virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence.

At the meta-level, we are also researching fascinating transformation processes in the educational system, such as digitization, sustainability, interdisciplinarity, curriculum implementation, gender and inclusion. With our research we strengthen and steer innovative systemic development.

Close, participative integration with leaders in the educational system and with teachers from the practical world takes place together with external cooperation partners. This is based on school practice-related, research-oriented teaching and our own offers for students in teaching-learning laboratories.

We work together in diverse, interdisciplinary teams in a trusting and appreciative manner, because in our modern society, interdisciplinary and connected thinking is needed to solve complex challenges.

In order to realize our vision, we are always looking for outstanding employees at all levels (BA/MA student, PhD student, post-doctoral researcher) and look forward to receive your unsolicited application (please send an e-mail directly to the chair: Prof. Dr. Ingo Wagner).
