Handbuch Didaktik des Sachunterrichts

The subject teaching is a central area of learning in primary school and elementary education. The handbook systematically and comprehensively presents the subject areas and tasks of the didactics of subject teaching.

With over 87 contributions from subject didactics experts, it combines the detailed treatment of terms and topics found in a scientific dictionary with the systematic approach of a textbook. It prepares the current state of discussion, presents results from empirical research, and provides information on historical development and international perspectives.

It outlines the educational theoretical background of subject didactics, methods of knowledge acquisition and dissemination, as well as different perspectives on children's learning prerequisites. This handbook is equally valuable in both the first and second phases of teacher education.
