The Beginning<br />

Research in Didactics in <strong>Informatics</strong><br />

Why should <strong>Informatics</strong> be taught?<br />

In the beginning it was just the opinion <strong>of</strong> some teachers:<br />

the elements, which constitute the science informatics and<br />

enable us to build informatics systems are so fanscinating<br />

and different from other experiences, that pupils and<br />

students (like those teachers) will like it very much.<br />

Today you’ll find several (controversal) substantiations on<br />

this topic—the main element mentioned by the most <strong>of</strong><br />

them: Education should enable pupils and students to<br />

»drive the[ir] future«. If <strong>Informatics</strong> has a unique selling<br />

point, which is a nessacary element in education and no<br />

other subject can fulfill, then <strong>Informatics</strong> has to be<br />

mandatory [Klafki 1991, key qualifications (in <strong>German</strong>)].<br />
