The project “explanatory videos 2.0“ follows the purpose of connecting the benefits of classic explanatory videos with the core aims of the Austrian school-curriculum. Thus, the main goal of teaching is no longer solely the conveyance of factual knowledge, but rather the initiation of historical-political thinking processes. Thereby, central historical and political didactic principles shall be considered. To answer the research question: “Which characteristics does an explanatory video 2.0 have to possess, in order to be of use for historical learning processes in the competence-oriented teaching of the subject ‘history and political education’ in Austria?” methods of empirical social research are applied.
