Scholarship Description: The textbook library of the Georg Eckert Institute is an unparalleled
resource for international textbook research, as is demonstrated by the
continuing high demand among researchers from Germany and abroad for the
research facilities it provides. In order to fulfil its purpose, the Institute
relies upon close and ongoing contact with scholars and educational
practitioners from Germany and around the world. With this in mind, the
Institute and its supporters have established a fellowship programme for the
promotion of international academic exchange and the development of
international textbook research, with a particular emphasis on comparative
approaches. The fellowships are awarded in particular for
-research motivated by the desire to promote understanding among nations
through education. This research is aimed at identifying prejudices,
distortions in perception, and stereotyped and adversarial images transmitted
in education, as well as their origins, by means of analyzing educational
material
-international educational and didactical research on the methods, content and
objectives of teaching in the subject areas in which the Institute’s library
specializes; research in the field of the fundamental governmental,
institutional and social frameworks in which this teaching takes place
-academic research on issues of perception and reception in the fields of
history, geography and social science
-studies on textbook development in the subjects represented at the Institute
which aim at identifying new directions for the production of textbooks based
on comparative international textbook research.
