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).
Current Issue
National tests i Social Science Subjects were introduced in Swedish schools in 2013. Together with an ongoing debate about the form and role of these national tests they have also been studied in academic research. In Nordidactica 2025:2 there are four articles with an subject didactic approach to the national tests published.
