Summary:

Using terms from pedagogy allows us to interpret the facts from pedagogical reality in a meaningful way and also to communicate them. This leads us to the question: to what extent the terminology a person is able to use actively affects his/her perception of pedagogical reality. The main goals of the international project Lexicon are to create a database of terms for classroom research on international level and analyse pedagogical naming systems from different cultures to reconceptualise classroom practice and advance educational theory.
