Department of Educational Science

The department is currently supported by 20 professors, 98 academic and 25 non-academic staff. We are located in the Adolf-Reichwein (AR) building complex, the majority of which is in the new building next to the university library (AR-NB).

We currently have a total of almost 7,000 students on 19 different degree programs, of which the educational science degree program for teachers of all types of schools and the social work degree program as well as the Bachelor's degree program in Education: Development and Inclusion (BAStEI) demand our attention.

The department is divided into two specialist conferences: Educational Sciences, Social Pedagogy and, in addition, the BAStEI degree program conference.

Conference: Practices of social control

Practices of social control in social/educational contexts

The conference is dedicated to the relationship between education and social control and focuses on a practice-theoretical perspective that can, among other things, make visible how social control is actually enacted in social/educational contexts and how unexpected consequences and constellations may arise. Together with selected, relevant researchers, central questions, methodological challenges and related research perspectives will be discussed.

4th Congress of Participation Research - September 10 to 11, 2026 in Siegen

Even 20 years after the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2006, the question remains: how can equal participation be achieved at local level? With 192 parties, the UN CRPD is one of the most important human rights documents - but its implementation is decided not least where people with disabilities live their everyday lives: in the municipalities.

What role does the local level play in realizing participation? How can municipalities develop inclusive structures, processes and practices? And what contribution does participation research make to shaping inclusive communities in transdisciplinary learning processes?
