Class 6b

For the volume "Class 6b. A Week of Lessons," a sixth-grade class was accompanied by a camera over the course of a week to capture the complexity of everyday teaching and to view the observations from different perspectives. Looking beyond individual students, teachers, or subjects represents an innovative aspect of the volume. The twelve filmed lessons have been analyzed from the perspective of the respective subject didactics as well as various viewpoints from educational sciences. Multiperspectivity in the examination of teaching thus inevitably takes center stage and is explicitly desired. Furthermore, this approach also highlights the heterogeneity of viewpoints, similar to what student teachers encounter during their studies when they attend courses from different instructors across at least two subject areas and the field of educational sciences throughout the week. With few exceptions, all authors are researchers and staff at Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. Their diverse analyses also represent different logics of observation, which may only become apparent in contrast to one another. The volume is aimed at all stakeholders in teacher education: teachers in schools, trainers, student teachers, trainees, and the academic community.
