Reifezeiten - Zur Bedeutung der Zeit in Bildung, Politik und politischer Bildung

Der Zeitdruck steigt, auch in Schulen und Parlamenten. Das beklagen Viele. Ist diese Klage berechtigt? Dient das Bemühen um Zeit-ersparnis im Kontext von Bildung und Politik tatsächlich den Zielen, die dabei erreicht werden sollen?

Medical students for Degrowth

By: Cecilia Ferrari

Introduction: Unlike other sciences, e.g. IT or Physics, whose experts’ high level of specialization is regarded as the major key to success, Medicine actually maintains the prerogative of a traditional knowledge, in which a deep understanding is reachable only with practice in at least several of its branches.

By: Eduardo Missoni, Alice Russel

By: Carlo Modonesi, Monica Oldani, Celestino Panizza

Decolonizing the imaginary, beginning from school

By: Paolo Scroccaro

From the text: What is the purpose of a fragmented ecological education if the remaining subjects are still dominated by the anti-ecological and “progress at all costs” ideology that acritically adopts a model of rationality that is partly responsible for the devastation of the Earth, when this is precisely what ecology tries to expose? The following speech is meant to contribute towards an...

Teaching and deep ecology

By: Guido dalla Casa

Abstract: The ecological thinking requires particular awareness of being part of a much larger complex, the Ecosystem, which perhaps is a sentient being (or, if you like, a Great Unconscious): the need for good health of this complex is the first value. The words used to convey concepts are very important: the currently used language is strongly influenced by the dominant anthropocentric...

Lernen in Beziehung - Zum Verhältnis von Subjektivität und Relationalität in Lernprozessen

By: Tobias Künkler

Was man unter Lernen versteht, hängt eng mit der Vorstellung vom lernenden Subjekt zusammen. Tobias Künkler untersucht den herrschenden Lerndiskurs, der u.a. von neurowissenschaftlichen und konstruktivistischen Ansätzen geprägt ist, auf den Zusammenhang von Subjekt- und Lernverständnis – und zeigt, dass die bedeutsame Rolle der ›Anderen‹ für das Lernen bislang nicht genügend berücksichtigt...

By: Carol Black, Jim Hurst

schoolingtheworld.org: If you wanted to change an ancient culture in a generation, how would you do it? - You would change the way it educates its children.

Lernen lassen - Abenteuer Bildung

By: br, eins

Was bedeutet heute eigentlich Bildung? Brauchen wir wirklich nur mehr Geld, um besser zu werden? Besser worin? Im Anhäufen von Lehrstoff? Im Repetieren von Formeln? Im Aneinanderreihen von Leistungsnachweisen oder im Trainieren von Fertigkeiten, die vielleicht schon morgen gar keiner mehr braucht? Bildung hat etwas damit zu tun, wie wir die Welt begreifen.
