ABSTRACT
The most widely used model for Didaktik in Germany is Klafki’s Didaktik analysis (see chap. 8, this volume). Klafki’s step-by-step approach still prevails in German teacher education and can be used to illustrate the Didaktik perspective as it might be found in preservice teacher education. To illustrate how these steps are usually used in student work, I have chosen a lesson plan prepared by a student teacher working with eighth-graders in a Hauptschule, a lower secondary school, in a low-status neighborhood. The lesson plan is no masterpiece of Didaktik analysis, rather the opposite; however, it is quite typical of what German student teachers deliver during student teaching.
