In this article, the reactor disaster in Fukushima (March 2011) together with the changes in energy policy following in its wake are used to enquire about reactions in the fields of natural science and technical didactics. The empirical finding is that didactical discourse has been little affected by Fukushima. The reason for this, in the view of the author, is to be found in the theoretical problems associated with specialised didactics, in this case didactics involving technology, as well as …
Looking ahead – 30-year REPORT The 30th anniversary issue of the REPORT reviews ideas, research findings and articles from a present-day perspective and extrapolates these into the future. To this end, texts from the two founding editors, Horst Siebert and Johannes Weinberg, have subsumed articles under six different topical rubrics and reread these from a present-day perspective from thirty years of REPORT. The articles are prefaced and concluded by two interviews respectively providing a ret…
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. Compared with informal and implicit learning, in contexts of formal learning there is a fair chance for resistance against exacting learning demands. So the competence of refusing education might be seen as a base…
Mediating considered from a learning theoretical angle Mediating and the theory or science of mediating are current topics of theory building and practice in the field of didactics. This was the reason to investigate whether and how research results combining learning and teaching may support the construction of such a concept. A general framework of acting and teaching is introduced from the perspective of the learning subject. The focus is on the concept of a complex and more dimensional a…
An Fallbeispielen zeigt der Autor auf, wie Wissenschaft die Praxis von Lehrkräften der Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung unterstützen kann. Wissenschaft für Praxis zu nutzen, ist kein Wert an sich, sondern Ausdruck der Verantwortung von Lehrenden für das Lernen der Teilnehmenden.
Education and occupation The categories of occupation and education were considered to constitute a contradiction in classic educational theory. A paradigm change is taking place through current societal modernisation processes: occupation and education are especially characterised by mutual interaction. This issue of the REPORT examines the tension-fraught relationship between occupation and education in articles offering theoretical and empirical insight, focusing on four focal points: the …
Immer deutlicher zeichnet sich ab, dass neue Aspekte des 'Lernens' in den Mittelpunkt erziehungswissenschaftlicher Diskussion treten. Selbstgesteuertes Lernen, lebenslanges Lernen, offene Lernkulturen sind Stichworte, die den bildungspolitischen wie bildungspraktischen Übergang von einer an Lehre orientierten Didaktik zu neuen Sichtweisen des Lernens charakterisieren. Die Ausgabe 44 des REPORT beschäftigt sich mit dem Lernen unter dem immer häufiger betonten Aspekt der neuen Lernkulturen. Di…
The author gives a summary of accesses of generation overlapping didactics. Thereby he clusters the offers depending on whether one learns from each other, with each other or about each other. Starting from the generation perception the suspicion is trailed that the learning of the generations should be affected in terms of contemporary history and individual biography. Concrete implementation perspectives for intergenerational learning are only then possible, when a pattern is developed for th…
