The Research Training Group will conduct research on "Fachlichkeit und Interaktionspraxis im Grundschulunterricht" (Subjectivity and Interaction Practice in Elementary School Teaching), combines perspectives from educational science, German didactics, and mathematics didactics, and is the first ever DFG Research Training Group in elementary school pedagogical research.
In addition to Prof. Dr. Friederike Heinzel as co-spokesperson, Prof. Dr. Natalie Fischer (Department of Social Relationships in Schools), Prof. Dr. Frank Lipowsky (Department of Empirical Research on Schools and Teaching) and Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Rathgeb-Schnierer (Department of Mathematics Didactics/ Focus on Elementary School) are involved in Kassel, as well as other colleagues in Halle.
