Abstract

This article introduces the didactic development of teacher training according to the Model of Educational Reconstruction. The aim is to prepare teachers for the teaching of interdisciplinary natural sciences, both subject-specifically and didactically. The study shows that basic concepts, scientific inquiry, context-based teaching, and experiments are meaningful design criteria. The focus of this article is on the empirical analysis of selected training content. The content reconstruction is framed by an interview study and an accompanying evaluation concept. The training thus developed is characterized by the focus on physical, chemical and biological foundations. In particular, the role of non-specialist teaching, which is characteristic of interdisciplinary science, is taken into account. Considering this particular challenge, the article discusses specific challenges in interdisciplinary education and contributes to the further professionalization of teachers in this type of teaching.
