Historischer Längsschnitt zum Thema Lernhindernisse und Widerstand gegen Lernanforderungen von den 1950er Jahren bis heute.
Resistance against education and learning as a result of pedagogical and didactic acting: The article reports two research projects in adult education at the University of Kaiserslautern focusing identity-relevant and emotional aspects of learning resistance. While both aspects are rather neglected in the research on education and learning they are substantial for the understanding of learning resistance phenomena as well as for the reconstruction of the own pedagogical practice.

The phenomenon of disordered learning and the resistance against education are reconstructed as a result of purposeful educational determination. Both are collateral costs of institutionalized learning arrangements, at which can be worked anew with educational means on a higher level.

So the competence of refusing education might be seen as a base…

Katja Gruber befasst sich in ihrer Diplomarbeit mit dem Thema ‚Schlüsselqualifikationen’, der in den 1970er Jahren geprägt wurde und unter dem derzeit bis zu 600 verschiedene Begriffe subsumiert werden. Die Autorin untersucht nicht nur, warum der Begriff bei allen Sozialpartnern heute wieder in der Diskussion ist und als ‚konsensstiftender Slogan’ erscheint, der es ermöglicht bisher gegensätzliche Positionen von ökonomischen Interessen und Persönlichkeitsbildung in einem neuen ‚Konzept’ zu vere…
