In this workshop, we will address the question of what makes educational research fit within a didactics tradition. Is it about the theories, the methods or the topics we choose to investigate?

The organizer of the workshop, network 27, provides a Europe wide meeting place for educational researchers from the diverse traditions in relation to didactics and teaching and learning. Central questions from a didactical perspective are what is taught in the different school subjects, what is learned and also why, and how. A key ambition for the network is bringing together research on teaching and learning in different subject-specific domains, and discussing the generic aspects of teaching and learning on an empirical basis. In this workshop, we will ask and hopefully answer the big question of what makes educational research fit within the label of didactics. We will discuss how different research questions and different methods add to the field of didactics and how we can frame our research so that the didactical value is clear. In a collective effort, we will also consider the biggest challenges for the somewhat ”messy”, yet more and more interesting, diverse and fascinating field of didactics in an educationally turbulent Europe for the years to come.
