The combination of theory and educational practice: educational tact at Johann Friedrich Herbart and his successor Rotraud Coriand Jean-François Goubet in his book Allgemeine Didaktik. Ein erziehungstheoretischer Umriss 1 [General Didactique. An outline of educational theory], Rotraud Coriand spoke three times about the topic of pedagogical tact, a topic coming from Herbart itself. Pedagogical tact is primarily concerned with class management (class management). Pedagogical tact comes at the articulation of the herbartian government, which is valid for the present, and education, which looks forward to the future and is concerned with educating students. A good teacher knows how they can organise their activities in such a way that disruptions disappear as much as possible, while the learning time of each pupil increases. In this respect, pedagogical tact appears to be the professional competence taking care of the presupposed successful education. Coriand is right to summarise this fact as follows: 'The ability of professional teachers, constantly challenged, to educate a class and/or to implement classroom management and instruction at the same time suggests the herbartian category of 'pedagogical tact'' (p. 63). It can be seen here that the teaching profession is by no means unilateral. Too much preference for a discipline, simple expertise in class driving ignores important aspects of the profession. A teacher must at the same time promote the 2 government and culture.

Teachers need a kind of happy strabism when they want to get closer to what they want. It should only have in mind the near future, the next one, to hold the two components together.
