What is it anyway and what is it good for?
Didactics is generally understood to be „the study of teaching and learning“ – in other words, it is the scientific examination of how learning can be supported and promoted.
I understand didactics as something alive that thrives on reflection and discussion. As a trainer, I am in a permanent process of research and development. Every time I plan a training or decide with my colleagues during a break which adjustments are necessary, I expand my didactic sensitivity. This builds on the knowledge of how adults learn, but always needs a view of the learning group. Learning is always a social process. You can read about the many dimensions (learning) groups can have in #grumo.
Didactics aims to increase the quality of learning processes. The exchange with colleagues, attending further education, reading blog series (such as the REFAK blog) are part of it.
But where do you get your didactic inspiration? Feel free to leave a comment on the blog post.
