2006 - Network Foundation and Early Years
The network was first proposed at the Annual General Assembly of EERA in Dublin in 2005 and received a strong response to the invitation to submit proposals for the conference in Geneva in 2006. Accordingly the network was was formally established at the Annual General Assembly of the ECER 2006 conference in Geneva following a successful programme of papers and symposia. The network has continued to grow steadily with successful programmes in Ghent at ECER 2007. in Gothenburg at ECER 2008, in Vienna at ECER 2009, in Helsinki at ECER 2010, in Berlin at ECER 2011, in Cadiz at ECER 2012 and in Istanbul at ECER 2013.
The ground work for establishing the network was carried out by Brian Hudson, Ingrid Carlgren and Kirsti Klette and they were joined by Meinert Meyer, Margaret Kirkwood, Bernard Schneuwly and Michael Uljens to form the first convenors group.
Subsequently Maragaret and Michael left the convenors group and Gérard Sensevy, Andreja Starcic, Jens Dolin and Stefan Hopmann have joined it. The focus has remained the same since the network was first established though with increased emphasis given to the inter-disciplinary aspects of the field as the network has developed.
The papers from the Opening Symposium of the network at ECER 2006 in Geneva were subsequently published in the EERJ as detailed below:
Hudson, B. and Schneuwly, B. (2007) (Eds.) Special Issue of the European Educational Research Journal (EERJ) on Didactics – Learning and Teaching in Europe, No. 2, 2007. Link
The following years brought further consolidation and a further increase of the number of presentations in research on didactics, learning and teaching. Areas of special interest emerged which led to the present suggestion to subdivide the field of didactics in the “strings” explained above.
NW 27 runs a mailing list and invites researchers to join. To join the mailing list, send a blank message to nw27-subscribe(at)lists.eera-ecer.de
