The Importance Of (General) Didactics For Teaching And Learning In Virtual Spaces

Abstract

In this article, I take up the question of the significance of general didactics in the context of teaching and learning in virtual spaces. To this end, I start with classroom situations and outline a conception of corresponding teaching and learning processes. Special attention will be paid to the action- and development-oriented design of these processes. Based on the outlined model conception, the next step discusses which changes and didactic consequences arise when learning processes no longer take place in real rooms with social presence, but in the confrontation with virtual or partially virtual offers. Finally, the considerations are related to the example of the distance learning programme in media (FESTUM) and problem situations and perspectives are discussed from a didactic point of view.
