German academic journal 1976–1987

The journal Geschichtsdidaktik was published from 1976 to 1987 with four issues per year by the Düsseldorf Schwann-Verlag . It mainly dealt with historical didactic topics and gave impulses for reforming history teaching .

The editors Annette Kuhn , Klaus Bergmann , Jörn Rüsen , Gerhard Schneider , Lothar Steinbach u. a. wanted to take a counter-position to the strongly subject-specific journal History in Science and Education by founding a specialist journal that only dealt with historical didactic topics . They were united by the notion of a "critical" history didactics that was based on the key concept of emancipation . Thus they stood in opposition to less socially critical historical didactic concepts, for example by Joachim Rohlfes and Karl-Ernst Jeismann .

In 1987 the magazine was discontinued for economic reasons. The conceptual successor with a more practical orientation was the magazine Geschichteearning at Friedrich-Verlag .
