Abstract

It is essential for lecturers at universities of teacher training to know the subject-specific beliefs of their students. However, little is known about the beliefs of primary school level teacher students within the sciences and social studies curriculum. Within the framework of the model of didactic reconstruction (Kattmann, Duit, Gropengießer & Komorek, 1997), this article describes three current projects at the Zurich University of Teacher Education to address this research gap. A first empirical project studies epistemological beliefs in the field of history with a qualitative questionnaire (Mathis, 2021). Within the context of introduction of Ethics into the curriculum, a second study examines epistemological beliefs of teacher education students about philosophy with children (Kümin, 2020). A third project evaluates beliefs and enjoyment of teacher training students in science, using a quantitative pre-post questionnaire (Breitenmoser, Brückmann & Detken, n.d.).
