Hans Christoph Berg (born August 13, 1936 in Rostock ) is a German psychologist , school teacher and didactician from Marburg . His main area of ​​work is didactics of the art of teaching , which is based on the didactician Martin Wagenschein and which Berg developed as a university professor at the Philipps University of Marburg together with the Bielefeld Theodor Schulze and his Marburg colleague Wolfgang Klafki .

Life

According to his own statements, Christoph Berg did not experience a single “major” class during his school days. He did not understand mathematics and the natural sciences and did not like them. On the other hand, his interest in music and theater had been strong.

After graduating from high school, Berg initially did a teaching degree in Wuppertal and Tübingen from 1958 to 1961 and, after graduating, taught as a school-leaving trainee in Berlin . In 1962, in addition to his work in school, he began studying psychology at the Free University of Berlin with Hans Hörmann , Klaus Holzkamp and Hans Aebli , which he completed in 1969 with a diploma. As a scholarship holder at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development , he then obtained his doctorate in education under Wilhelm Richter in 1975 , which in connection with a DFG project also became his habilitation. In 1976 he finally accepted a call to Marburg at the Philipps University , where he has been teaching as a professor for didactics and school pedagogy ever since.

In 1980, Berg was the editor of Martin Wagenschein's book Seeing and Understanding Natural Phenomena. Genetic courses . Inspired by Wagenschein and now also turning to mathematics and the natural sciences, Berg devoted himself more and more to teaching art didactics . In addition to Wagenschein, he also took up the writings of his former teacher Aebli, who in turn was a student of the great developmental psychologist Jean Piaget , and of Gottfried Hausmann from Hamburg . Between 1985 and 1989 the concept of the teaching piece was formed . Berg cooperated with the Bielefeld educator and later Ernst Christian Trapp Prize winner Theodor Schulze ; later he was also able to win over Wolfgang Klafki , at that time the most famous Marburg pedagogue and one of the most important didactic experts in Germany.

Hans Christoph Berg was a founding member and, along with Wolfgang Klafki, chairman of the school pedagogy / didactics commission of the German Society for Educational Science (DGfE) from 1980 to 1985 . He was also the main designer of the Wagenschein conferences from 1987 to 1997.

Even after his retirement in 2001, Berg is still involved in everyday teaching at Marburg University. He regularly holds seminars on didactics of the art of teaching and cooperates with a clear double-digit number of teachers throughout the German-speaking area, with the art of teaching being used particularly intensively in Switzerland .
