# Integrative Connection

**Integrative Connection** (*Integrative Verbindung*) is the central pedagogical framework used in the teacher training tracks ([[lehramt]]) at the CDFI. 

It describes the synthesis of three primary domains of experience and content:
1. **Creative-Artistic**: The actual practice of making art.
2. **Academic-Scientific**: The theoretical study of art, architecture history, and aesthetics.
3. **Art-Pedagogical**: The study of how to teach art ([[fachdidaktik]]).

Under this framework, **artistic practice** is not merely one module among many but serves as the primary focus and the essential reference point for all other theoretical and pedagogical areas of study.
