Systematic acquisition of competencies. In the fourteen chapters of the book, the topics of the curriculum are developed under a specific subject-related competency. This way, each content is always linked to a competency: Each chapter includes a double page dedicated to competency acquisition, where learning takes place through an example and is practiced in an application task. Fourteen learning tasks support the competency training and offer differentiation options. Goal formulations at the beginning of each chapter and test pages for reviewing and applying what has been learned at the end of each chapter provide transparency for the learners and support their motivation. Three steps to understanding texts. The findings of reading research are consistently taken into account. All texts are worked on and processed in three steps: activating prior knowledge, working on the text, and further work: establishing follow-up communication. Differentiation in ethics education. For fast learners: in-depth double page - additional questions and/or more challenging material. Learning task extra - depending on the chapter, content and/or competency can be deepened. For individualized work: learning tasks for individual task solutions. Multiple sections per topic offer opportunities for collaborative approaches.
