Continuing digitalisation is a macrosocial phenomenon – dealing with it is a macrosocial task. For the educational field, it does not only concern a change of teaching-learning situations due to digital media but also the issue of contributing to the changing situation - without excluding certain groups. According to the author, the issue of digitalisation does not allow federal disputes and segment-specific separation of educational areas.
This article addresses teaching and learning of movements, in particular by exploring the following points: »orientation towards sense and meaning«, »making differences possible«, »orientation towards effect«, »forming notions of movement«, »making experiences possible«, »situational setting« and »learning through movement tasks«. In sum, overarching principles are deduced for a didactically oriented movement theory which is equally instructive for scholars as well as persons working in the fie…
Die Lehrbücher für die Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung bündeln das Wissen der Disziplin und vermitteln Grundlagenkenntnisse für das praktische und wissenschaftliche Handeln. In Aufbau und didaktischer Gestaltung orientieren sich die Bücher an der Hochschullehre und können veranstaltungsbegleitend oder zum Selbststudium genutzt werden: als Einführung in ein Themengebiet, als Repetitorium zur Vorbereitung auf Prüfungen oder als Nachschlagewerk. In jedem Lehrbuch finden sich Impulse zum Weiterdenke…
Every educational event inevitably comes to an end. A »good« ending to educational events is - in contrast to their opening - often not sufficiently reflected upon in didactical terms. Ulrich Papenkort’s article focuses attention on this subject, which has received little attention from the field of research to date. By distinguishing between »opening«, »a retrospective look«, »criticism«, »look forward« and »farewell«, new possibilities for designing a successful conclusion to teaching/learni…
There is growing interest in evidence-based interventions that can improve student teachers’ professional development. But how can these interventions be implemented into everyday teacher education practice by teacher educators themselves—without losing their initial, lab-tested effectiveness due to teacher educators’ practical educational autonomy? Through a quasi-experimental field study the following question is investigated: What is the impact of different degrees of educational autonomy…
The article summarizes the results of a case study in which two further education courses at universities are comparatively analyzed. It is examined how the knowledge transfer is linked to the governance of the courses. It can be shown that there is instrumental knowledge transfer in connection with managerial governance in the one study course whereas the other study course is distinguished by reflexive knowledge transfer and academic self-governance.
