Erik Haberzeth issues a plea to make teaching the central focus of didactic activity once again. The problem with achieving successful good teaching, in his view, is not necessarily related to teachers devoting too little attention to existing specialised didactical knowledge. It is more important, rather, to make sure that didactics do not become self-absorbed and thereby impede the way to content rather than paving it. This does not mean that specialised didactics can generally speaking be di…
In developing learning arrangements, adult educators can influence decisions in learning/teaching situations, improve learning effective decisions of learners and therefore enhance the range of opportunities. All aspirations enforcing attitude alterations on learners are unacceptable. Learners should preferably judge the effectiveness of their decisions in alignment with their individual standards. This report indicates methods of controlling learning-effective decisions without limiting the ra…
Aus der Lernforschung wissen wir: Das Erlernen komplexer geistiger Prozesse bildet das Gehirn anhand von Strategien nach, die es beim Erlernen motorischer Prozesse erfolgreich verankern konnte. Oder anders: Wer gut jongliert, hat gute Chancen, Projekte erfolgreich zu steuern. Doch dies ist nicht der einzige Zusammenhang von Lernen und Bewegung. Im Heft erwarten Sie Lern-Perspektiven der Neurowissenschaften und der Erlebnispädagogik, die auf körperlicher Bewegung gründen. Daneben darf es aber a…
Movement and experience as the breeding ground of learning From the perspective of experiential pedagogic the two authors develop an outline for experience and action-oriented practice in adult education. They examine in detail the hypotheses confirmed by brain research that the body is the actual site of human learning. This allows them to create the basis for a didactical setting conducive to learning which is heavily based on physical body-related experience in nature and in the communit…
Astrid Costard analysiert in ihrer Diplomarbeit die Begründbarkeit von Formen und Formaten von Bildungsangeboten zum Übergang in den Ruhestand. Hierzu wird zunächst die Bedeutung des Übergangs in den Ruhestand aus gesellschaftlicher Perspektive betrachtet. Anschließend werden die Bedingungen dargestellt, unter denen der Übergang in den Ruhestand zu einer individuellen Belastungssituation führt. Diese Analysen sowie gerontologische Konzepte zu gelingendem Alter werden herangezogen, um die Formen…
