Didactics and Digitization

Abstract

Didactics constitutes the repository of basic knowledge that future teachers have to obtain to be able to teach. The subject strives to provide the theoretical basis necessary for becoming a successful teacher, which is why it is also called "the science of teaching". Didactics seeks answers to those questions that arise in all teachers, but these answers change from time to time. This is due to social, economic, and political reasons, but often also to some invention or scientific discovery. The appearance and dissemination of digital technology are such a factor. This article examines how the new hardware and software environments have changed answers to basic questions of didactics.
