Principles such as controversy, intersubjectivity and completeness are to be observed in the course of the course. Special attention should be paid to the alterations in practice and further development of these concepts and concepts (political expertise).

The historical and political competences are to be developed on the basis of concrete topics. Care must be taken to ensure that all the competences mentioned are sufficiently taken into account in the classroom.

For the processing of historical, social and political contemporary issues, which should also take into account the interests of the pupils and pupils, are chronological approaches (ua. Longitudinal and cross-sections) or forms of exemplary learning.

Global-continental-national-regional-local

The teaching is intended to give an insight into the history and politics of different spatial dimensions as well as their networks in order to enable the formation of a reflected and (even) reflexive identity. In this context, intercultural and global learning are particularly important in the teaching of the subject.

Counterwarts

Explain current economic, social, political and cultural phenomena, eg from historical development.

Conscious of the manifold causes of historical and political events and courses, as well as the various possibilities of their interpretation.

The confrontation with religions, world views and ethical norms reinforces the ability to distinguish between social and cultural phenomena in a differentiated way.

Contributions to the educational fields:

Language and communication:

Work with texts and images (sources and representations of the past or the present in different media), interpretation and evaluation; definition and application; collecting and applying arguments in the discourse.

Nature and technology:

Historical and political examples of scientific and technical developments in the field of tension between social consequences and technical innovation; work with statistics; interpretation of diagrams; critical evaluation of the scientific and technical progress, taking into account ecological change.

Creativity and design:

Reflection on the significance of artistic design possibilities as an expression of creativity and zeitgeist; perception and design of artistic and cultural products as media of communication in their historical and/or social conditionality.

Health and movement:

Culture of movement in historical and social contexts; the impact of the food and hygiene standards; the social and political function of sport in different cultures.

Human and Society:

The objectives and tasks of the teaching contribute in their entirety to this area of education.

Didactic principles:

The teaching of history and social studies/political education is to be designed in such a way as to enable pupils to acquire historical and political skills. The following areas of competence shall be taken into account:

Historical competences

History gives answers to questions that are put to the past. In the classroom, existing questions in history representations are to be shown and the pupils can be able to identify and formulate questions to the past (historical question competence).

Autonomy in dealing with historical sources to build an idea about the past (Re-construction), as well as a critical handling of historical representations (e.g. exhibitions, feature films with historical contents, school and Technical books) are to be promoted (De-construction). To this end methods are to be arranged in order to be able to perform analyses and interpretations (historical methodological competence).

In the processing of terms and concepts, care must be taken to ensure that they are conveyed in historical contexts and connect them to the existing knowledge. Concepts and concepts for the collection of historical facts are used in the classroom. Special attention should be paid to the age-old concretization and further development of these concepts and concepts. In addition to general terms and concepts (e.g. religion, economy, rule) as well as those with a historical character (e.g. Polis, Knight), principles are used to build quality representations about the past (multi-perspective, Objectivity/Intersubjectivity, Perspective, Position, Constance, etc.) (Historical competence).

Historical learning is intended to contribute to the better understanding of present-day phenomena and future challenges. Since different conclusions can be drawn from history, attention should be paid to the plurality of interpretations in the classroom. The resulting synergies with the political education must be taken into account (historical orientation competence).

Political competences

As the everyday life of political decisions and controversies is influenced, political education should, on the one hand, become a self-employed, well-founded and, as far as possible, sach-and value-based assessment of political decisions, problems and controversies, and on the other hand gradually make it possible to form and formulate (partial) verdicts (political judgment).

The teaching is intended to promote the willingness and ability to act in political terms. To this end, it is necessary to articulate one's own positions, to understand and to take up positions of others, and to participate in the joint development of solutions. These skills are central to political action based on concrete examples, for example through simulation games and in the context of the institutions of the school democracy (political action competence).

The aim of political education is to enable us to reflect on the foundations and information and to decode the manifestations of the political process by providing a repertoire of methods for the analysis of data, images and texts. At the same time, methods and methods are to be taught which enable them to politically articulate themselves orally, in writing, visually and/or in modern media (e.g. participation in discussions on political issues, school students ' and Student representative selection) (Policy-based methodological competence).

In the processing of terms and concepts, care must be taken to ensure that they are conveyed in political contexts and connect them to the existing knowledge. Terms and the concepts of the political (such as gender, shift, power, scarcity), which are inherent to them, are used to capture political facts. Principles such as controversy, intersubjectivity and completeness are to be observed in the course of the course. Special attention should be paid to the alterations in practice and further development of these concepts and concepts (political expertise).

The historical and political competences are to be developed on the basis of concrete topics. Care must be taken to ensure that all the competences mentioned are sufficiently taken into account in the classroom.

When dealing with the topics, the relevance for the future life situation, the regional aspect, the exemplary character and cross-disciplinary references must be taken into account. In addition, the competencies mentioned in the general section of the curriculum, such as self-and social skills, are also to be found. To this end, appropriate methodical approaches shall be laid down (ua. different social forms, plan and role-playing games, open learning forms, bilingual teaching, discovery and project-oriented learning, courses in museums, historical sites and political institutions).

The competences described above are to be used as the starting point for the planning and design of the course. The subject areas are to be selected carefully and well based on the skills to be acquired.
