Chair of Education with a focus on Diversity Research and Educational Spaces in Middle Childhood

At the Chair of Education/Primary and Pre-Primary Education the transfer of knowledge between research and teaching is international, throughout all stages and multi-perspective.

The relationship between theory and practice is reflected in an anchored curricular teaching cooperation with (external) school experts (e.g. from architecture, cultural studies or social pedagogy) and made fruitful for educational professionalization processes.

The chair combines epistemological work with empirical research in the following areas:

Professionalization of teacher training

Diversity and talent research

Education and space

Internationalization of teacher training

Professor Dr. phil. Christina Hansen (formerly Schenz) studied educational sciences and psychology at the University of Vienna. In addition, she completed a teacher training (field: special needs education) at the PH Vienna.
