Since 2023, research on vignettes and anecdotes has been conducted at Freie Universität Berlin within the Literary Education Research Lab. In the context of teaching, vignettes and scenes depicting children’s learning are analyzed in seminars together with students and written by the students themselves in research projects to facilitate an understanding of learning experiences in German language instruction through concrete examples.
In the seminar-research project “Writing on Literature” by Lis Schüler and Franziska Herrmann, vignettes and video vignettes on the writing processes of elementary school children are used to examine literary experiences in writing.
From 2021 to 2026, Franziska Herrmann participated in the methodological exchange within the project at the University of Education Tyrol: “Tracking Learning Experiences: Vignette and Anecdote Research in Tyrolean Elementary Schools.”
