Dialectical didactics

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dialectical didactics is a teaching approach developed by Lothar Klingberg , professor for systematic pedagogy and didactics at the Karl Liebknecht University of Education in Potsdam from 1965 to 1980 . Since the contents of the GDR education system were very precisely specified, the field of didactics was only the implementation and the teaching process.

The basic idea is that there is always a contradiction in the general teaching process, which arises from the collective character of the school on the one hand and the individual learning processes of the students on the other.

According to dialectical didactics, lessons should be organized together with the students. Klingberg calls this procedure subject orientation. Teachers and pupils direct the classroom together and thus become a collective subject . Lessons should be seen as a creative process in which the content of the lesson is defined, as well as the goal to be achieved and suitable methods used to improve the students' competencies.

For the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences, the subject orientation endangered the curriculum and thus the uniform teaching as a socialist achievement.
