The aim of this study was to compare the subject didactic education in teacher degrees, and if and how they differ depending on the subject of the education. The focus of the essay is on how pre-service teachers experience the subject didactic education when they encounter it during their studies. This essay is based on a case study focused on students with two different subject orientations, social science and physical education. The chosen method consisted of qualitative interviews with student teachers and teacher educators to understand how the subject didactic education was structured, and how the students seemed to experience it. The results of the study showed that student teachers enrolled in physical education were overall more satisfied with their didactic education. They seemed to have developed more didactic skills which they were more comfortable applying in a teaching context, compared to the social science pre-service teachers. The frequency of subject didactical in connections to a subject material, and how it was incorporated seemed to be of importance for how the students interpret their experience of the didactical skill of transformation.
