The quality of teacher education is closely linked to the relationship between its core elements — scientific disciplines, educational sciences, subject didactics and practical training. This article uses examples to describe the different relationships between subject didactics (elements of subject-matter teaching and learning) and educational sciences in Germany. Theories of professionalism in the teaching profession are proposed as a possible way to promote dialogue between the two elements while still taking their autonomy into account. The enhanced scientific dialogue between both elements could inspire teacher education that benefits from a stronger interrelation.
