A textbook on the didactic organization of teaching and learning processes attempts to live up
to an ambitious claim. The latter should also be the yardstick for this publication since it
addresses students at teacher training colleges schoolteachers and trainers in industrial
training departments. The authors' experience in the organization of teaching and learning
processes in schools (Peter Häfner) and adult education (Klaus Götz) gave rise to their wish to
summarize and evaluate this experience in a book. Obviously only the most important components
of the complex didactic field can be discussed here. The aspects of didactic activity were
selected with a view to readers who are interested in theoretical foundations and the realistic
conveyance of didactic findings. In this sense we see this book as an action-oriented
guideline for the planning preparation and implementation of teaching and learning processes.
