Doing Inclusion
Analysis and evaluation of inclusive practice
"The central research focus of the department is the analysis and evaluation of inclusive practice in institutions, such as schools and educational institutions, and their associated systems. In this context, we are concerned with:
- the development of theories concerning inclusive educational processes
- related images of human beings and the social and cultural construction of disability
- social participation and social inclusion
- stigmatization processes
- ethical issues in the context of inclusive education
- school development and cooperation of all actors in the field of school education
- questionnaire and test construction for inclusive schools
- learning processes, their measurement and optimization
We deal with critical analysis and empirical research between social exclusion, participation and accessibility to educational content. In doing so, we draw on theoretical approaches and empirical methods stemming from different disciplines, especially education, philosophy, sociology and psychology. The dynamics between genders, between persons (groups), different social and cultural backgrounds as well as between normality and deviation/disability form central backgrounds. In our teaching, students learn about goals and concepts of inclusion and important building blocks for collaboration among educational stakeholders in inclusion. They are enabled to plan, accompany and evaluate inclusive educational processes. Based on the scientific training, students can justify and further develop inclusive work with the help of relevant theories and empirical findings."

Location & approach
The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B 1 / A 40. The best interstate exit to take from A 45 is “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen” (closer to South Campus), and from B 1 / A 40 “Dortmund-Dorstfeld” (closer to North Campus). Signs for the university are located at both exits. Also, there is a new exit before you pass over the B 1-bridge leading into Dortmund.
TU Dortmund University has its own train station (“Dortmund Universität”). From there, suburban trains (S-Bahn) leave for Dortmund main station (“Dortmund Hauptbahnhof”) and Düsseldorf main station via the “Düsseldorf Airport Train Station” (take S-Bahn number 1, which leaves every 15 or 30 minutes). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg.
You can also take the bus or subway train from Dortmund city to the university: From Dortmund main station, you can take any train bound for the Station “Stadtgarten”, usually lines U41, U45, U 47 and U49. At “Stadtgarten” you switch trains and get on line U42 towards “Hombruch”. Look out for the Station “An der Palmweide”. From the bus stop just across the road, busses bound for TU Dortmund University leave every ten minutes (445, 447 and 462). Another option is to take the subway routes U41, U45, U47 and U49 from Dortmund main station to the stop “Dortmund Kampstraße”. From there, take U43 or U44 to the stop “Dortmund Wittener Straße”. Switch to bus line 447 and get off at “Dortmund Universität S”.
The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on North Campus. One (“Dortmund Universität S”) is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the “Technologiepark” and (via South Campus) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at North Campus and offers a direct connection to South Campus every five minutes.
The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.
