Educational geography
The education geography is a branch of human geography and socio-spatial educational research . With the means of empirical research she deals with
- School and school development,
- University development,
- Labour market,
- Education and culture, as well
- the global dissemination of knowledge.
Her research approaches are interdisciplinary and include approaches from disciplines such as the sociology of education , pedagogy and economics of education . In the 1960s, the focus of the analysis (educational disparities) was primarily on the location of the education system and the unequal distribution of educational opportunities, but in the meantime the scientific interest in knowledge has shifted to the connections between regional development and universities (innovation), labor market disparities and knowledge acquisition (transfer). Robert Geipel is regarded as the nestor of German educational geography.
