Bridge over Troubled Water

DIE DUALE PROMOTION in der Lehrkräftebildung als Brücke zwischen fachdidaktischer Forschung und Schulpraxis

Abstract

How can the often troubled waters between educational research and school practice be bridged against the backdrop of constant pressure to implement reforms in a rather stable education system? This article sheds light on how this can be achieved and what contribution research can make. The theoretical building blocks of complexity reduction and grammar of schooling provide a good basis for examining the doctoral programme DIE DUALE PROMOTION at the University of Bremen in this perspective. In this programme, doctoral students combine a subject-didactic doctorate with a traineeship („Referendariat“). With this dual qualification, they become reflective practitioners who start building bridges between research and practice at an early stage of their professionalisation.
