Jens Friebe beschreibt zunächst die demografische Alterung als zentralen Trend der gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen in Deutschland. Anschließend skizziert er die Herausforderungen, die auf die lebensbegleitende Weiterbildung zukommen werden, für deren Bewältigung aber auf fortbestehende Lernpotentiale im Alter zurückgegriffen werden kann.

Hereunto three examples are named: (1) The Loci method links memory contents with places. (2)…
The performances of the system theory for the generation of research questions The following is about to present the performances of the system theory for the formulation of research questions by means of an evaluation order. Central for this is the communication term, which is evaluated in terms of its significance for the development of research questions.
