The Didactics of Optional Courses

Summary/Abstract: The didactics of optional courses explore a number of important educational concepts that have been defined and analyzed in general didactics, general curriculum theory, and specific didactics. Thus the didactics of optional courses may become a new domain of education, based on an interdisciplinary research methodology. In this context the educational concept of school subject is explored from an epistemological perspective. At curriculum level the optional courses explore especially the necessary correlation between ‘academic courses’ and ‘school subjects’. The didactics of optional courses explore the typical structure of any curricular project designed at the level of the necessary optimal correlation between general and specific objectives; basic contents; didactic methods; and continuous formative assessment strategy. The perfecting of such a curricular project is achieved in an open context shaped by the suggested forms of organization, the available educational resources, and the possible or necessary educational styles at optional course level.
