Research

Research at the Faculty of Educational Science is rooted in the tradition of critical scholarship and its systematic foundations. It focuses on analyzing societal structures, their dynamics, and the resulting challenges for social processes, educational practices, and professionalization processes in pedagogy and teaching.
For example, questions relating to social participation, lifelong learning, and generational, gender-related, and migration-related differences, including their unintended or negative consequences such as discrimination, are examined. The breadth of the discipline is reflected in the research focus. In addition to individual research projects, numerous collaborative projects are also carried out. Frankfurt's educational science research is marked by two key features: strong research output and growing third-party funding.
The department's research focuses on the topics of 'Pedagogy of the Ages' and 'Pedagogy and Social Change' in a variety of ways. These topics belong to the Faculty of Educational Sciences' three main research areas.

Research Focus of the Faculty

Transitions in the Course of Life

Dealing with Heterogeneity / Inclusion

Educational Digital Studies

The research focus areas form a framework structure parallel to the disciplinary-logical systematization of the department's research activities. In the disciplinary-logical systematization, there are six differentiated and yet substantively associated research areas into which the research activities of the faculty can be structured. 

The Disciplinary-Logical Systematization of Research

Educational Profession, Professionalization and Discipline

Pedagogical Processes in the Context of Social, Historical, and Cultural Practice

Institutions, Organizations, and Practices in Education and Social Welfare

Adult Education and Educational Processes and Contexts in Later Life

Teaching and School Learning

Growing Up, Education, and Upbringing in Childhood and Adolescence

DFG Graduate School "Doing Transitions" 鈥� Forms of Shaping Transitions in the Lifecourse

Lifecourses are structured by a variety of transitions, occurring between different life phases and status positions, and between different roles and self-images. In the past, research primarily focused on the conditions under which transitions are successfully managed. As a result, transitions 鈥� such as the shift from school to the labor market 鈥� were often viewed as problems: they were seen as uncertain and ambiguous, as moments of the reproduction of social inequality, and as risks of social exclusion.

Former Centre for Drug Research

The former Centre for Drug Research (CDR) was established in 2001 as an institution for social science drug research. It was affiliated with the Institute of Social Education and Adult Education at 看片软件. The CDR combined empirical research with academic teaching and was entirely funded by third-party grants.

Through the Drug Trends Monitoring System (MoSyD), funded by the City of Frankfurt since 2002, the CDR tracked and analyzed developments in the consumption of psychoactive substances and emerging consumption trends in Frankfurt am Main. Additionally, the CDR was successful in securing further third-party funding, including grants from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and funding programs of the European Union.

Key research areas included the social and cultural characteristics of drug trafficking and the relatively new issue of "new psychoactive substances." In 2024, the work of the CDR was concluded.

Frankfurt Forum for Interdisciplinary Aging Research

The Frankfurt Forum for Interdisciplinary Aging Research (FFIA) began its work on August 1, 2014. It was funded by the BHF-BANK Foundation. The spokesperson of the forum is Prof. Dr. Frank Oswald, who, together with his team in interdisciplinary aging studies at the Department of Educational Science, has successfully recruited colleagues from various disciplines to actively contribute to the forum. The FFIA was officially inaugurated on October 16, 2014.
