In terms of inclusive education, teachers of all school types need additional pedagogical-didactic competences in the heterogeneity dimension of illness. The main aim of the Movetia-funded project is to develop a curriculum for a MAS (Master of Advanced Studies) in Pedagogy in Illness and Hospital School Pedagogy in order to professionalise teachers who work in transition, with chronically ill children and young people and in special schools. The sub-goals for achieving this are, firstly, an analysis of the current situation in order to systematically analyse existing continuing education programmes in the field of pedagogy in illness. The method of choice here is document analysis due to the heterogeneity of the data material. Secondly, a questionnaire will be used to survey the needs of teachers at special schools and teachers involved in the transition of pupils. Thirdly, on the basis of this data, selected expert interviews are conducted and analysed with regard to conditions for success and needs for action and presented to the practice partners. This three-step process and the associated triangulation of the document analysis, data from the quantitative and qualitative field survey and the expert interviews are intended to form the scientifically sound basis for the development of the cross-location curriculum for D-A-CH, which has been evaluated by practitioners. This paper will present the research project as a whole and the initial results.
