Standard work for planning and conducting political education, social studies, and civic education in general education schools. A group of distinguished subject didacticians provides concrete answers on what good political education looks like and how it can be improved. Using guiding questions about the why and what for, who, what, how, with what, where to, and where, they demonstrate how better political education can be achieved. Each chapter follows a uniform and transparent structure: What is the problem? What are the relevant controversies? What is the didactic minimum? Each chapter includes an example, a summary, and literature recommendations for further reading.
