Der gemeinsame Text als soziale Erfahrung im Deutschunterricht – kollaboratives Arbeiten und kooperatives Schreiben als Prinzip einer hybriden Didaktik

This paper addresses the existing concepts in didactics and asks if they can be transferred to a new and hybrid learning experience. Considering that the construction of knowledge is based on a technique that is universal to human anthropology, there is an essential social dimension in learning and working together on texts in the digital space. The example for that is the usage of blogs and wikis in German lessons. The author starts off by explaining the use of Wikipedia to illustrate the idea of collaborative writing. Next, he discusses some consequences of the use of digital platforms in schools and goes on to address the problems of the digital shift in teaching and of hybrid learning from a critical-constructive perspective (kritisch-konstruktive Didaktik), as developed by Wolfgang Klafki. Finally, he submits that the existing concepts in the field of didactics can be transferred to the new social experience of teaching/learning in virtual lessons.
