One research focus is the question of sustainable models of religious education, currently in a DFG project on implementation research for the introduction of the new school subject "Christian Religion" in Lower Saxony.
In his courses, Prof. Woppowa aims to prepare prospective religious education teachers for this challenging future - with a focus on research and practice, in order to make them competent in shaping religious education processes.
