TEACHING AS AN ACT OF BALANCE

Abstract

The change of paradigm is being prepared within the educational management in Germany: instead of current input orientation through guidelines and syllabus, the providing of quality is soon to be implemented through verification of educational standards — i.e. output orientation. Educational standards formulate the society’s expectations about the (minimal) knowledge and skills within a school subject for the pupils of certain age. Therefore, they are formulated as expected competences (not as catalogues of contents), which has considerable consequences on formation of educational processes. Accomplishment of different necessary competences for each subject (acquiring of well organized knowledge, abilities for the application of that knowledge, training for the general key qualifications as well as the acquiring of values for the socially responsible use of acquired competences) demands different learning situations and therefore different pedagogical and didactical measures. Therefore, from the introduction of educational standards as socially expected competences follows the necessity for the wide spectrum of alternative teaching methods and special training for qualifying present and future teachers to competently apply them.
