Subject didactics at the Tübingen School of Education and the University of Tübingen

Over the past few years, the University of Tübingen has made lasting structural changes in order to realize the goal of an excellent interdisciplinary didactic and educational research culture in the teacher training subjects and related institutions. At the heart of this is the establishment of 18 new professorships for teacher training.

Since 2015, twelve new professorships and academic council positions have been created and filled in subject didactics (see overview below).

The expansion of research-oriented subject didactics and the promotion of cooperation between educational sciences and subject didactics is one of the central tasks of the Tübingen School of Education. This is achieved through various activities, such as the Special Interest Groups. Here, colleagues from didactics and educational sciences conduct research on joint topics under the umbrella of TüSE Research.

With a view to the gradual quality development of teacher training courses, a School Board working group has developed a framework concept for subject-specific teacher training, the content of which has been specified in all subject committees of the teacher training subjects. The framework concept for subject-specific didactics clarifies the common orientation in contemporary subject areas, research and teaching structures in teacher training at the University of Tübingen.
