Working title
Didactic research workshops with students and children - pedagogical-phenomenological analyses of creative experiences in research-based learning and creative writing
Topic and summary
Workshops can be special places for children and adults to learn and work. In the context of the dissertation project presented here, the term has two dimensions: On the one hand, creative writing workshops are conducted with elementary school children in order to initiate writing and learning processes and, on the other hand, this investigation takes place within a subject-linking, interdisciplinary seminar (German and subject didactics) as a didactic research workshop on creative writing in the rooms of the elementary school learning and research workshop at TU Dresden (LuFo). In my dissertation project, I am researching the creative experiences of children in creative writing and of students who approach children and writing through research from a phenomenological perspective.
