Abstract

The attempt at critical didactics of digital education presented here concerns learning about digital technology. The meaning of the digital is first investigated before the understanding of competence in relation to the digital is examined. The rasterization of skills is contrasted with discourse ability as a goal of didactics in digital education. Finally, potentials of a practice-reflecting dialectic in learning about digital technology are discussed. Dorothy's journey back to her (changed) home in “The Wizard of Oz” is interpreted throughout the text as an allegory of such dialectic learning processes.
