ABSTRACT
This article aims to analyze the processes of construction and theoretical solidification of competencies related to political education in the debate on German political didactics. To achieve this task, three models of political education were examined: the model advanced by the German Society for Child and Adult Didactics and Political Education (GPJE Model); the model of political competency advanced by Georg Weiβeno’s team; and the Austrian model of political education competencies. A number of implications are drawn from this discussion regarding initial teaching training in the Chilean civic education. The main results include: On a theoretical and methodological level, teachers’ initial training has to articulate the domain of the specialist knowledge as core component and the domain of didactic competency in citizenship education.
