Overview

Pädagogik is a German-language specialist journal for educational science with a school-pedagogy focus. Its format: the printed monthly — each issue with a thematic focus, the July/August double issue with two main topics — and the digital: paedagogik.de, the pedocs.de archive (three-year moving wall). Its publisher: the Verlagsgruppe Beltz, Weinheim/Basel — the Weinheim publishing group whose programme spans 16 journals and over a thousand books, founded 1841 in Langensalza, re-founded 1949 in Weinheim. Its rhythm: monthly. Its reach: 6,000 copies (2022). Its editor-in-chief: Jochen Schnack. Its audience: the teachers, the school pedagogues, the educational scientists — the German-language school pedagogy's professionals. The teachers read the focus: each issue's thematic main topic — the classroom's practice, the didactics' research. The school leaders read the "Kontrovers": the debated positions — the reforms' controversies. The educational scientists read the "Beitrag": the main contribution — the research's depth. The journal's monthly rhythm — the focus's habit — reaches the schools: the teachers' professional reading. Its programme: the thematic focus per issue — the "Beitrag" (the contribution), the "Serie" (the series), the "Kontrovers" (the controversy), the "Magazin" (the magazine). Its ISSN: 0933-422X.

History

The journal's history begins in 1949 — the first issue as "Westermanns pädagogische Beiträge", in the young Federal Republic's school rebuilding. The 1949 moment: the post-war pedagogy — the democratic education's new beginning — creating the journal. For nearly four decades the journal carried the Westermanns name. In 1988 the merger: with the journal "Pädagogik heute: betrifft: Erziehung" — and the current name PÄDAGOGIK. The 1988 moment: the school pedagogy's consolidation — two journals becoming one, the Westermanns tradition meeting the Pädagogik-heute reformism. The merger's logic — the readerships' union — strengthened the title: the central journal's claim. The stylized PÄDAGOGIK — the all-caps identity — became the brand: the school pedagogy's magazine. The Beltz era: the Verlagsgruppe Beltz's school-pedagogy flagship — the monthly's thematic focuses, the four rubrics, the 6,000-copy circulation. The 2018 anniversary: the Johannes Bastian history overview in issues 11 and 12/2018 — the journal's self-reflection. Over seven decades Pädagogik became one of the central journals of German-language school pedagogy: the 1949 founding's continuity, the 1988 renaming, the monthly's habit.

Coverage and Content

The journal's programme is the school pedagogy's world. Each issue: the thematic focus — one main topic per month, two in the July/August double issue. The rubrics: the "Beitrag" — the main contribution, the focus's depth, the research's article. The "Serie" — the series, the ongoing topics, the multi-issue arcs. The "Kontrovers" — the controversy, the debated positions, the pro-and-contra. The "Magazin" — the magazine, the news and notes, the reviews. The rubrics' system — the focus plus the four — structures the monthly: the depth, the continuity, the debate, the news. The journalism is the specialist journal's: the school pedagogy's research and practice — the teachers' professional reading, the educational scientists' forum.
