Profile
Education is a fundamental task of every society. Every generation has to address the issue of how best to educate members of the following generation and prepare young people to lead a “good life”, i.e. according, among others, to the guiding principles of self-determination and accountability. The core task of educators is therefore a dual one of passing on cultural knowledge as well as fostering a mature identity formation. Pedagogy and Educational Sciences reflect this generational relationship in research and education, thus contributing towards a critical (self)enlightenment of society as well as to shaping generational problem issues.
Departments and academic field
The Faculty of Pedagogy and Educational Sciences amalgamates several sub-disciplines (the academic fields) which are divided into four departments. The different academic fields are as a rule led by professors and organized in four departments:
- Department A. General Educational Science
- Department B. School Education & Didactics
- Department C. Inclusive Education
- Department D. Subject Didactics in Educational Science (elementary and high schools)
