Connecting Herbart and Dewey:On Benner's Allgemeine Wissenschaftsdidaktik
In his latest Allgemeine Wissenschaftsdidaktik,Dietrich Benner tries to connect and transcend the knowledge tradition of Herbart's educative instruction and the problem-inquiry tradition of Dewey's educative experience,and to remodel the German general didactics.There is a non-hierarchical relationship between multiple forms of knowl-edge.These multiple forms of knowledge have their own unique key methodology.Methodolo-gy is at the core of the subject-methodology-object.The teaching process must involve the three elements:questioning-showing-answering.Teaching is a process in which students are initiated through education to Bildung,and to move towards the mastery and use of methodological competences(i.e.to achieve self-activity),that is to say,teaching involves three arts of causality:edukative Kausalität,bildende Kausalität,methodische Kausalität.Benner takes methodische Kausalität as the end point of educational practice,so as to inter-nalize the cultivation of higher-order skills into the educational theory itself.Benner's Wis-senschaftsdidaktik and his classic general pedagogics originally propose the non-hierarchy of forms of knowledge and the non-hierarchy of differentiated fields of practice,thus de-fending the own logic of education and teaching.
