The academic discipline concerned with the theory and practice of education and upbringing. It is also referred to as pedagogy and is a subject of study at universities and colleges.

This long word is made up of three parts: 'Erziehung' (upbringing/education), the linking '-s-', and 'Wissenschaft' (science/academic discipline). So it is literally the 'science of education/upbringing.'
Die Erziehungswissenschaft untersucht, wie Menschen am besten lernen.
Education science studies how people learn best.
The word belongs to the word family around the verb 'erziehen' (to raise/educate). Related words are 'die Erziehung' (upbringing, education) and 'der Erzieher' / 'die Erzieherin' (educator, kindergarten teacher).
Gute Erziehung ist die Basis für die Entwicklung eines Kindes.
Good upbringing is the basis for a child's development.
'Erziehungswissenschaft' (education science) is a technical term from the academic field. It is usually used when talking about a degree subject or an area of research. Typical verbs are 'studieren' (to study), 'lehren' (to teach), or 'forschen' (to research).

upbringing / education
'die Erziehung' and 'die Erziehungswissenschaft' both have to do with children, education, and development. 'Erziehung' means the practical process in everyday life: parents, teachers, or other adults guide children and teach them rules, values, and behavior. It can also refer to the result, meaning how well someone behaves. 'Erziehungswissenschaft', on the other hand, is a field of study and an academic discipline. The words are easy to confuse because both have to do with upbringing and education. As a simple guide: at home and in everyday life, people usually say 'Erziehung'; at university or in research, they say 'Erziehungswissenschaft'.
