Didaktik

Abstract

The European Science Education Research Association (ESERA) states in its constitution: “Wherever the English phrase ‘Science education’ appears in this document, it has a meaning equivalent to ‘didactique des sciences’ in French, ‘Didaktiken der Naturwissenschaften’ in German, ‘Didáctica de las Ciencias’ in Spanish, or the equivalent in other European languages.” At least in continental Europe, the term “Didaktik” is widely used – however with a number of significantly different meanings that do not only concern subtleties.
