Fachunterrichtsgeschichten

The contributions of the anthology examine, from a praxeological perspective, the historical dynamics surrounding the emergence, organization, and transformation of school subjects. Therefore, the focus is primarily on the material aspects of teaching, such as teaching materials, instructional media, and the modes of handling knowledge—knowledge practices that define the subject-specific nature of school subjects. Of particular interest are the processes of negotiation surrounding subjects and their contents, as well as cases of subjects that cannot be assigned to specific university disciplines but are nonetheless of significant importance for the development of school knowledge. The discussion also includes examples of the emergence of new subjects or the persistence of knowledge areas as teaching principles below the level of a school subject.
