Abstract
The article traces the influence of the German didactics tradition on the development of didactics in China from a historical perspective and by analyzing the ways of constructing Chinese didactics in three contemporary didactics texts. It compares and contrasts the German didactics tradition with Kairov’s didactics and American theory of instruction—two “didactics” traditions that have significantly determined and shaped how didactics is conceived and developed in China. The article argues for a (re)discovery of the German didactics tradition, and discusses the implications for constructing Chinese didactics within the current social, cultural, and educational context of schooling in China. It addresses how Chinese didactics can be constructed in a more thoughtful and better informed manner, in a way that embodies real Chinese characteristics.
