Up to now, the discussion about research designs in subject-matter didactics has mainly taken place within the disciplines of this academic field.

On the other hand, the Delphi brought about those topics that need to be discussed in future. This is especially true for categories on the dimensions of methodologies and reference theories. In summary, this study offers arguments and impulses for further discussion about the understanding of research in subject-matter didactics.
