Didaktik unterrichten oder: wie lernen Fachleute didaktisch zu denken? Ein Erfahrungsbericht

How do people learn to think and plan didactically when they start working in adult education? Drawing on several years of experience as a didactics coach in formal and non-formal education, the author presents how she deals with didactics in her continuing education seminars in this report. For her, the core of each didactic plan is process-based thinking - a step by step and progressive approach to reach a certain goal. After the subject of didactics and the difference between methodology and didactics are defined (the former usually being much easier for teachers), the participants try out concrete didactic planning and implement and reflect on planned seminar schedules. Topics for reflection include the formulation of work assignments, target orientation in overall process planning, the impact of one's own values and didactic theories as reference for practical action. This reflection is followed by a presentation of options for how teachers can take didactic principles into consideration in their own concrete planning of seminars.
