Computer science is the subject of teaching as well as a practical tool. Students should familiarize themselves with theoretical foundations and be able to make ingenious use of computer applications. They should know about history, notions, possibilities and limitations of computer science. They are expected to grapple with the effects of information and communication technology on society.

The unit "Subject Didactics of Computer Science I" addresses key contributions of computer science to general education. The course deals with the thoughtful choice of educational contents for computer science classes, which takes into account its comprehensibility for different age groups as well as didactic approaches suitable for a successful knowledge transfer.
