Nordidactica - Journal of Humanities and Social Science Education is a Nordic subject didactic journal with the aim to be a venue for research relevant to school, teacher education and to academy. Studies of teaching and learning in Geography, History, Civics, Religion and Political Science are the main focus but the journal also welcomes articles in which these questions are dealt with in a broader scence.
Nordidactica wants to combine a high scientific level with an up-to-date relevance for teachers and researchers in Humanities and Social Science Education.
The articles will primarily be in Norwegian, Danish and Swedish. But we also welcome articles in English and there will be a few special issues with all articles in English. All articles will have a short english abstract.
Nordidactica receives publication funding from The joint committee for Nordic research councils in the humanities and social sciences, NOS-HSS (https://www.aka.fi/en/nos-hs).

Between curriculum and practice
Subject didactic research often returns to the issue about the tension between what the school is supposed to do through the curriculums an what actually happens in the classrooms. The teacher has to deal with overall aims, assessment criteria, slim resources and his/her own values . The nine articles in Nordidactica 2026:2 all deals with different aspects of this tension.
