Möglichkeiten der dokumentarischen Methode als qualitativer Ansatz der Evaluationsforschung für die Geographiedidaktik im Bereich des wertorientierten Lernens

Abstract

The presented research project wants to contribute to the reflection of possibilities of value-oriented learning in the geography classroom and to its evaluation within the framework of qualitative-reconstructive research. In this context a new research method (documentary method) that is complex enough to cover the field of value-oriented learning in an evaluative way is introduced to geography education. This means incorporating explicit value-based judgments as well as implicit value-based orientations – a distinction which other qualitative approaches, e.g. qualitative content analysis, do not accomplish.
