Abstract	This chapter presents an historical overview of the development of the "Deutsche Didaktik" and compares it with the American tradition of research on teaching. This tradition is traced back to Johan Amos Comenius in the 16th century as a practical and normative doctrine and various trends within the 20th century are identified. The absence of almost any discussion of Didaktik in British and American literature is highlighted. In relation to this phenomenon, there is a discussion of how the traditions (Deutsche Didaktik/Anglo-American curriculum theory) separated in response to political and ideological circumstances. It is noted that reform pedagogy and new conceptualisations of Didaktik did not reach American education. In addressing the aspect of Fachdidaktik, it is argued that only erudition- centred Didaktik/Geisteswissenschaften has a clear position on this question. In essence the main task in this tradition is seen as a theory of educational content (Theorie der Bildungshalte) according to its value in the curriculum and in the instructional process. Finally some observations are offered on the Nordic alternative and the conflict between the different traditions of educational psychology/ empirical research and geisteswissenschaftliche Didaktik/ hermeneutics is highlighted.
