Teaching competences
Teaching competences
• Subject knowledge & didactic skills
We had a strong debate about this; the ones who say that
subject knowledge is more important say that a pupil can also
learn from somebody that has no didactic skills, even if it
would be harder.
On the other side, they say that a teacher is not a teacher
without his didactic skills
Anyway, we agree on the fact that the importance of the two
facts is different in primary and secondary school, because in
primary school you deal with growing up people and you have
to pay much attention also on the psychological aspect of the
education, while in secondary school you deal with people
who are almost formed, and interested in the topic you
develop.
