The attempt is made in this paper to clarify with reference to various theories of Niemeyer, the concept of didactics in 18th century Germany concentrating on its relation to “education.” During the 18th century didactics as an educational method meant chiefly “transmission of knowledge”; Niemeyer, while folluowig this traditional interpretation, further clarifies the educational meaning of teaching. Teaching is an activity by which the understanding of the child is promoted ; it is an act, furthermore, intended to form thereby moral judgment within the child. In fact, the educational effectiveness of teachings is called into play only and always through the child's power of comprehension, i. e. indirectly. But Niemeyer discovered in this indirect effectiveness the real educational value of teaching.This interpretation of teaching forms one of the premises to Herbart's “pedagogical didactics”.
