Teaching in digital times is in general in a transition process. With knowledge available in seconds, it is the competence to distinguish fact from fake that is the key. This article tries to give an overview of the enormous changes having taken in place in the last 10 – 15 years in Austrian History and Social Studies /Citizenship Education curricula and didactics. In the long tradition of history education in Austria there is now a complete change of paradigm. Competence-oriented education was introduced instead of content-oriented teaching. Especially History teaching in Austria is in a decisive situation, one new curriculum following the other and leaving teachers behind. Since 1962, History has been combined with Social Studies, and as of 2023, this part has been dropped in favor of Citizenship Education, following a growing need in society. The curricula from 2007/08 first reacted to EU-policies, PISA-results and the changes in society, technology and internet applications by introducing competence-oriented teaching. The new approach was based on challenging the so-called historical facts, calling them constructed national narratives with an intention of justification and creating national identification. Only eight years later, in 2015/16, curriculum innovation went one step further. The whole curriculum was completely taken apart and organized in a new way, creating room for new competence areas and new content on Citizenship Education and Historic disciplinary competences. In this way, the tools of historic science are made available to children. Furthermore, the curricula are structured along basic concepts rather than chronology according to the Federal Law, amended in 2023 (BGBL)1 . The question now is how to get teachers on board. Teachers agree there is a need for a different approach but struggle to get along and understand the new concept. We see the dilemma between societal needs, political intentions, modern, innovative didactics and teaching practices.
