Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify how a former president of APW in GDR, Neuner evaluates GDR-didactics by focusing on the concept of "Allgemeinbildung". His argument about Allgemeinbildung based on the "Bildungskanon" was reduced to the following three points by considering his articles after German unification. (1) Neuner's concept of Allgemeinbildung was developed with returning to the Humboldt's plan of Allgemeinbildung. (2) Neuner's concept was developed in relationship with Klafki's plan of "Schlusselproblem". (3) Neuner developed his concept in connection with the recent globality and internationalization. As the result, the following are clarified. Neuner indicated the importance of the "Bildungskanon" with referring the Humboldt's plan, and insisted on the "Fachunterricht" based on the concept. And then, he maintained the appropriate proportion of the educational fields, as he criticized the recent movement of plan of "Schlusselproblem" as "Entkanosierung". In addition, by considering his concept of "Allgemeinbildung in der Gegenwart", it is clear that he emphasized the modern meaning of the concept of Allgemeinbildung based on the "Bildungskanon", Lehrplan in GDR, and the united school system that supported GDR-education in connection with the present-day discussions about pedagogy.
