Research and projects

The research serves to penetrate complex (professional) action processes and the conception and design of professional teaching and learning processes against the background of curricular, individual, (also value-related) social and infrastructural prerequisites (and their criticism) as well as various methodological and media instruments. In particular, it is also about the (developmental) interests of the stakeholders and their balance in interaction. This is linked to the further development of didactic principles, above all of action/problem-oriented teaching and learning for vocational education and training and the education of teachers at and for vocational schools and other places of learning that is geared towards participation, competence and thus design. Research on the shape and design of work processes, digitalization and automation, learning environments and media and their effects is used to establish a link to current requirements for vocational education and training. Research on the development of vocational schools and other places of learning refers to current development processes, the position and function(s) of places of learning, their appropriate establishment and organization.
