In Germany, as distinct from the countries influenced by the
Anglo-American curriculum tradition, the curriculum is seen as a
framework by for assisting individual, autonomous teachers' plan
for their classrooms. As the body of knowledge within teacher
education didactics supports such planning and teaching. As a
research tradition, didactics seeks models of teacher thinking and
an understandings of the rationales which teachers develop to
justify their teaching. Looking into Classrooms: Papers on
Didactics, which is written from within the German Didaktik"
tradition, outlines a view of classroom work as the medium within
which the educational formation of students takes place. The book
explores some of the ways in which this medium can be understood
from the point of view of education - Bildung - rather than from a
point of view that sees teaching solely as effective instruction.
Looking into Classrooms throws fresh light on what is done in
classrooms by asking how the curriculum that is embedded in
classroom work contributes to the educational formation of
students. Looking into Classrooms offers English-speaking readers a
view of a kind of curriculum thinking that is very different from
approaches of the Anglo-American tradition. A new world of
questions about classrooms, textbooks, and the history of schooling
is opened up in ways that throws new light on the questions around
English-language curriculum and pedagogical theorizing and
research.
