SASUF Goes Digital: 2020 Edition

The aim of this workshop is to discuss and plan for a research network in Social Science Education in compulsory primary and secondary schools and in Teacher Education. Social Science Education includes a broad range of  interdisciplinary approaches, some highly topical, challenging and maybe controversial. The research network can encourage theoretical discussions on social science education, teaching and learning and related empirical research, whether qualitative or quantitative. Also, scholarly perspectives on practices of teaching and learning and the discussion of policies, empirical results, and research methods in social science education will be included. Social Science Education is important in connection to the sustainable development goals and Agenda 2030 and the UN efforts to enhance quality education. The forming of a researchers’ network and planning for international collaboration for research in Social Science Education in compulsory primary and secondary schools and in Teacher Education between researchers in South Africa and Sweden can expand this interdisciplinary field with interesting results and cooperation for the future.
