Mit einer Gastprofessur kam die Idee über den Atlantik: Paul Bélanger aus Montreal versammelte an der Universität Duisburg-Essen Fachleute der Weiterbildung zu einer Konferenz über die »Intimacy of learning – a social issue«. Einige der Beiträge bilden den diesmaligen Themenschwerpunkt. Eine vorsichtige Annäherung, denn die Übersetzung bleibt schwierig. Die deutsche Konnotation von Intimität als »Tabubereiche betreffend« schwingt im Englischen so nicht mit. Die DIE-Redaktion hat sich entschiede…
Adult education and historiography The paper aims to explore the role and function of the historical issues within the field of Adult Education and its relations to scholarly historiography to date. Quite similar to the traditional paradigm in the history of education was the history of adult education for a long time also primarily based on pedagogical considerations. Thus research received almost no attention neither from historiography nor from educational science. Despite the current boo…
North-west passages between body, emotion and cognition in pedagogy On the unity and difference of perceiving, feeling, thinking and imagination powers in learning- and educational processes Setting out from the point of different newly theory approaches, especially in the integrative therapy, the contribution makes the holistic way of learning- and educational processes a subject of discussion.
Macht Bildung glücklich? Wohl kaum zwangsläufig. Bildungsprozesse können aber bei Lernenden wie bei Lehrenden Momente des Wohlbefindens und höchster Zufriedenheit auslösen. Roger Willemsen nennt diese Momente im Interview „epiphanisch“. Nun hat gerade die Erwachsenenbildung auch Glück „im Angebot“ – Gründe genug für die DIE-Redaktion, mit dem Marienkäfer-Heft auf die Suche nach unterbelichteten Aspekten des Bildungshandelns zu gehen.
Interest and Learning This article presents an overview of the so-called educational-psychological theory of interest and demonstrates its relevance for the processes and results of learning. Following this theoretical approach, interest behaviour can be described as a relation between person and object. It is accompanied by self-determination, positive emotions and a strong personal relation to certain objects or actions. Advantages of interest-motivated learning appear in improving cogniti…
Wie kann Lernberatung aussehen und wie können Lehrende sich hierfür qualifizieren? Diesen Fragen geht H. Pätzold in der vorliegenden Untersuchung nach. Zunächst wird in der Auseinandersetzung mit der einschlägigen Debatte in der Erwachsenenpädagogik eine breite Lesart des Lernberatungsbegriffes entwickelt. Ausgangspunkt ist dabei die Auseinandersetzung mit den Zulieferkonzepten für einen erwachsenenpädagogischen Lernbegriff und eine umfassende Darstellung zentraler Beratungskonzepte von der Ind…
This article provides an overview of the debate on learning environments and learning locations within adult education research; the authors use a historical review of main research topics in order to understand current learning environments and recent theoretical and empirical discussions. The term of learning environments or learning locations has been introduced into research on adult education in the 1970ies; since this time, each following decade can be characterized by several specific re…
The following article focuses on the debate on organizational learning from an adult-educational point of view. In most approaches to organizational learning the members of an organization are regarded as the main drivers of organizational learning processes. However, such approaches do not systematically incorporate important presumptions of learning-theory, although this promises to create a better understanding of adult-educational experiences within organizations. Hence, the article present…
Due to the increasing blur of learning boundaries, the need arises for re-defining the concept of learning space. Based on an understanding of learning space, which refers to the local circumstances within organized education programs, the article initially aspires to include the debate on learning space in the discussion of informal learning, before it then focuses on the relation between time and location and the significance of virtual learning spaces. The article itself does not re-define t…
