| Abstract: | Vreede, E. de. “On the importance of special didactics in teacher education,” Revue ATEE Journal 1980 (3) 109‐117. Teaching is occasioning learning to the extent that the motives used in this occasioning are derived from the learning content. On the basis of this definition a distinction is made between general and special didactics. The article is a plea for a careful distinction between the two, which would be beneficial to both disciplines and particularly for special didactics. For various reasons, some of which are discussed, this distinction is scarcely implemented in teacher education, much to the disadvantage of future teachers and their students. |
