Research and Teaching Unit School Pedagogy

The research unit School Pedagogy with its focus on school development and teacher professionalism

  • deals with school development and teacher education in theory, empiricism and practice.
  • sees itself as an academic institution that promotes nationally and internationally networked research projects on school development, teacher professionalisation and extracurricular education initiatives..
  • encompasses, by means of its research profile, the (inter)national examination of education from different perspectives, a science- and practice-oriented range of courses.
  • offers qualification opportunities in the form of supervision of academic term papers for the first state examination, Bachelor's and Master's theses and doctorates.
  • supports school development processes and assists schools in the area of teaching and organisational development.

News:

From the 10th to the 12th of May 2023, the E-Adapt Conference 2023 will take place in Heidelberg within the framework of the project. Poster (PDF)

The aim of the conference is to give the project participants the opportunity to continue their joint work in the Action Groups (Teacher Education, Cooperation, Implementation) that have been in existence since 2022, as well as to establish new cooperation and exchange partnerships. In addition, ideas, experiences and research results on the topic of adaptive learning and teaching will be presented at the conference.

Deeper Learning

Deeper Learning describes a pedagogy in which learners engage deeply with knowledge and generate knowledge themselves by processing it through both instructionally guided processes of acquisition and self-regulated processes of co-construction and co-creation. Knowledge can be experienced through action and profound learning processes lead to authentic achievements. In addition to the authenticity of learning outcomes, the linking of performance development with formative feedback is of central importance. Deeper learning takes place in hybrid learning environments consisting of school, extracurricular and digital environments.

Anne Sliwka's team is carrying out various projects on Deeper Learning with different objectives.

Schule macht stark: Best possible educational opportunities for socially disadvantaged pupils (BMBF, 2021-2025)

"Schule macht stark - SchuMaS" is a joint initiative of the Federal Government and the Länder to support schools in socially difficult situations. The focus is on 200 schools. The initiative aims to provide the best possible educational opportunities for pupils who are socially disadvantaged. To this end, the scientific community, consisting of 13 research institutes, and the schools are working together in a cooperative and co-constructive manner.

Big Questions Need Common Answers: A European Science-Practice Initiative for Adaptive Teaching (E-Adapt) (BMBF, 2021-2023))

E-Adapt is a Europe-wide project on adaptive learning and teaching. It builds a lively and active network on adaptive teaching by bringing together expertise from research and education administration at European level. In this way, "best practice" examples can be systematically exchanged with the possibility of learning from each other. Adaptive teaching is seen as a sustainable solution to problems. In this way, it should be possible to continuously support all students in realising their full potential.

Nele - Campus New Learning

The project Nele - Campus New Learning Culture aims to create a further education portal for teachers and education actors within the framework of the National Education Platform, with content aimed at overcoming future challenges by establishing a new learning culture.

Heidelberg University is part of the Nele consortium (members: Kiron, Fernuniversität in Hagen, Universität Heidelberg, KIT, BIB, TFD and Pacemaker) and contributes with its team (Prof. Dr. Anne Sliwka, Janina Beigel, Laura Pleyer, Duong Pham, Claudia Ostermeyer) to the pedagogical concept of the platform and to the development of an interactive continuing education offer on the pedagogy of Deeper Learning. Deeper Learning is to be made accessible and experienceable for school administrators and teachers through a low-threshold, in-service and activating training concept. The overall aim is to create an innovative learning space that is oriented towards needs and users.

Project and funding period: November 2022 - December 2024

Expired project

Project „Transforming the Grammar of Schooling: Hybrid Learning Environment for the Digital Knowledge Society”

Current research confirms that learning environments contribute more to knowledge acquisition when digital and real spaces outside school are included in the classroom, creating hybrid learning environments. The coronal school closures in spring 2020 have shown that despite development plans, the German school system has not yet adapted to the digital knowledge society.

The project "Transforming the Grammar of Schooling: Hybrid Learning Environment for the Digital Knowledge Society", funded by the Volkswagen Foundation, is developing a model to serve schools as a tool for the transition to a hybrid learning environment. To this end, we are conducting interviews with school leaders from New Zealand, Australia and Canada, among others, who have already gained greater practical experience with hybrid learning environments.
