Claudia Haagen-Schützenhöfer (* 1975 in Hartberg ) is an Austrian physics teacher . She occupies the chair for physics didactics at the Karl-Franzens-University in Graz.
Career
After graduating from the Hartberg grammar school , Haagen-Schützenhöfer completed a teaching degree in physics and English / American studies with distinction at the Karl-Franzens University in Graz. In 2001/02 she completed the teaching internship at the BG / BRG Oeversee in Graz with distinction. From 2003 to 2009 she then taught physics, English, scientific laboratories and project management at the BG / Bundesrealgymnasium (BRG) in Mürzzuschlag . At the same time, Haagen-Schützenhöfer completed a doctoral degree in educational sciences / physics didactics at the Karl-Franzens University in Graz . In 2005 she completed this with her dissertation: English as the working language in physics classes .
From 2009 Haagen-Schützenhöfer worked as a postdoc at the Austrian Competence Center for Didactics in Physics (AECC-P) at the University of Vienna. During this time she developed a course for optics instruction, which was the central element of her habilitation . After a call to the chair for physics didactics at the University of Augsburg (Germany) was rejected, she returned to the Karl-Franzens-University Graz as an assistant professor in 2014. A separate department for physics didactics was set up there, which she has headed since 2015. In 2016 she completed her habilitation at the University of Vienna . In 2017, she was offered a temporary university professorship for physics education at the University of Graz, which she accepted. In 2018, Claudia Haagen-Schützenhöfer was appointed to the chair for didactics of natural sciences with a focus on physics at the Leopold-Franzens-Universität Innsbruck. At the same time, he was offered a permanent university professorship for didactics in physics at the University of Graz, which Haagen-Schützenhöfer followed at the end of 2018.
Haagen-Schützenhöfer is the first and only qualified Styrian physics teacher and the second in Austria. She is the first woman to hold a university professorship at the Institute for Physics at the University of Graz. Her research focus is on the professionalization research of physics teachers, domain-specific teaching and learning research in physics, and textbook research. Your research results are incorporated into training and further education programs for physics teachers, into German-language specialist didactic textbooks and into Austrian physics textbooks.
Haagen-Schützenhöfer was Secretary and Vice-President on the board of GIREP before she was elected to the Senate of the University of Graz in 2019.
