Denn für jeden, der mit der Bildung von Menschen befasst ist, sollte daraus ein persönlicher Anspruch erwachsen, sich konkret mit der bildungstheoretischen Konzeption Humboldts vertraut zu machen.

Download or read book The Humboldtian Tradition written by Peter Josephson and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Humboldtian Tradition, eleven scholars consider Wilhelm von Humboldt as a historical phenomenon and a contemporary symbol. Inspired by the growing body of literature that in recent years has problematized the modern research university, they put Humboldt’s basic academic principles into context and discuss their significance for the current debate about higher education. The authors draw on the latest research in order to bring the educational and research policies of our day into perspective. At a time when the university is undergoing deep-seated transformations worldwide, they address the question how we should relate to the ideas associated with Humboldt’s name. What is his relevance to the twenty-first century? Contributors are: Mitchell Ash, Pieter Dhondt, Ylva Hasselberg, Marja Jalava, Peter Josephson, Thomas Karlsohn, Claudia Lindén, Johan Östling, Sharon Rider, Hans Ruin, Susan Wright.

Download or read book Teaching As A Reflective Practice written by Ian Westbury and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a mix of translations of classical and modern papers from the German Didaktik tradition, newly prepared essays by German scholars and practitioners writing from within the tradition, and interpretive essays by U.S. scholars. It brings this tradition, which virtually dominated German curricular thought and teacher education until the 1960s when American curriculum theory entered Germany--and which is now experiencing a renaissance--to the English-speaking world, where it has been essentially unknown. The intent is to capture in one volume the core (at least) of the tradition of Didaktik and to communicate its potential relevance to English-language curricularists and teacher educators. It introduces a theoretical tradition which, although very different in almost every respect from those we know, offers a set of approaches that suggest ways of thinking about problems of reflection on curricular and teaching praxis (the core focus of the tradition) which the editors believe are accessible to North American readers--with appropriate "translation." These ways of thinking and related praxis are very relevant to notions such as reflective teaching and the discourse on teachers as professionals. By raising the possibility that the "new" tradition of Didaktik can be highly suggestive for thinking through issues related to a number of central ideas within contemporary discourse--and for exploring the implications of these ideas for both teacher education and for a curriculum theory appropriate to these new contexts for theorizing, this book opens up a gold mine of theoretical and practical possibilities.

Download or read book Barbara Bodichon s Epistolary Education written by Meritxell Simon-Martin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book brings together feminist histories in education with an innovative approach to epistolary narrative analytics. In deploying the notion of the epistolary bildung the author rigorously and eloquently shows how the correspondence of Barbara Bodichon can shed fresh light in a range of personal problems and public issues in women’s lives, which remain relevant today" - Maria Tamboukou, Professor of Feminist Studies, University of East London, UK This book assesses Barbara Bodichon’s significance in the history of the women’s movement in Britain by elaborating a conceptualisation of letters as sources of feminist development. Bodichon was the leader of the first women’s suffrage committee in England, which collected 1,500 signatures in favour of the female vote – a petition presented in the House of Commons by sympathising MPs to support the amendment of the 1867 Reform Bill. This book explores the significance of letter-exchange in Barbara Bodichon’s feminist becoming as she managed to mobilize partisans and secure signatures by means of chains of friendship letters spreading across the country. For letters functioned as platforms where, concomitantly to her making sense of her experiential input, Bodichon adopted, redefined and challenged circulating discourses – transforming them in the process and hence contributing to the production of feminist knowledge, intersubjectively and collaboratively in dialogue with her addressees. At the crossroads of history of feminism, gender history and history of women’s education, this book explores the significance of letter-exchange in Bodichon’s development into one of the galvanizing figures of the women’s rights movement in Victorian England.

Download or read book Humboldt and the modern German university written by Johan Östling and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the idea of the university in modern Germany. Its primary focus is how the Humboldtian tradition was transformed and how it gave direction to debates around higher education. By combining approaches from intellectual history, conceptual history and the history of knowledge, the study investigates the ways in which Humboldt’s ideas have been appropriated for various purposes in different historical contexts and epochs. Ultimately, it shows that Humboldt’s ideals are not timeless – they are historical phenomena and have always been determined by the predicaments and issues of the day. Nevertheless, many of the key concepts and fundamental ideas have endured throughout the twentieth century, though they have been interpreted in different ways.

Download or read book The Apocalypse in Germany written by Klaus Vondung and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in German in 1988, The Apocalypse in Germany is now available for the first time in English. A fitting subject for the dawn of the new millennium, the apocalypse has intrigued humanity for the last two thousand years, serving as both a fascinating vision of redemption and a profound threat. A cross-disciplinary study, The Apocalypse in Germany analyzes fundamental aspects of the apocalypse as a religious, political, and aesthetic phenomenon. Author Klaus Vondung draws from religious, philosophical, and political texts, as well as works of art and literature. Using classic Jewish and Christian apocalyptic texts as symbolic and historical paradigms, Vondung determines the structural characteristics and the typical images of the apocalyptic worldview. He clarifies the relationship between apocalyptic visions and utopian speculations and explores the question of whether modern apocalypses can be viewed as secularizations of the Judeo-Christian models. Examining sources from the eighteenth century to the present, Vondung considers the origins of German nationalism, World War I, National Socialism, and the apocalyptic tendencies in Marxism as well as German literature--from the fin de siècle to postmodernism. His analysis of the existential dimension of the apocalypse explores the circumstances under which particular individuals become apocalyptic visionaries and explains why the apocalyptic tradition is so prevalent in Germany. The Apocalypse in Germany offers an interdisciplinary perspective that will appeal to a broad audience. This book will also be of value to readers with an interest in German studies, as it clarifies the riddles of Germany's turbulent history and examines the profile of German culture, particularly in the past century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Wissenschaftstheorie, Anthropologie, Note: 2,0, Universität Potsdam, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Bildung des Menschen ist eines der ältesten und eine der modernsten Überlegungen der gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung und doch gibt es entscheidende Unterschiede der Betrachtung. Das Bildungsziel des Menschen war in den einzelnen Epochen unterschiedlicher Natur. Dennoch war und ist eine Frage weiterhin zentral: Was ist der Mensch und was kann er werden, wie und wodurch ist er geworden? Diese Fragen werden begleitet von den Perspektiven, die das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Freiheit und Zwang beziehungsweise Determinismus und Interdeterminismus der Bildung des Menschen offen legen. Hierbei wirkt die Fremd- und Selbstbestimmung ausschlaggebend auf die Bildung des Menschen ein. Die Selbstbestimmung des Subjekts steht im engen Zusammenhang mit dem Selbstbewusstsein. Sich selbst dessen bewusst zu sein, was man tut und wie gehandelt wird, ist bedingt durch die Selbstreflexion, die durch Bildung und Lernprozesse hervorgebracht wird. Die Entwicklung der kognitiven Kompetenz und Fähigkeiten des Menschen beginnen ab dem Zeitpunkt der Geburt. Der Mensch, abgesehen von den genetischen Erbanlagen, ist bei der Geburt unabhängig von sozialen Kontakten und Einflüssen. Es stellt sich die Frage, was bei dem Menschen gebildet werden muss, damit ein gesellschaftsfähiges, trotzdem einzigartiges Lebewesen entsteht. Diese Entwicklung wird begleitet durch Situationen und Einflüsse der Natur, der sozialen Umwelt und durch Interaktion. Wird der gegenwärtige Bildungsbegriff „Lebenslanges Lernen“ angesprochen, sind die Entwicklungsprozesse des Individuums gemeint, die geistige, kulturelle und soziale Kompetenzen herausbilden und resultierend die Ausbildung des Menschen voranbringen. „Es wäre ein grosses und trefliches Werk zu liefern, wenn jemand die eigenthümlichen Fähigkeiten zu schildern unternähme, welche die verschiedenen Fächer der menschlichen Erkenntniss zu ihrer glücklichen Erweiterung voraussetzen; den ächten Geist, in dem sie einzeln bearbeitet, und die Verbindung, in die sie alle mit einander gesetzt werden müssen, um die Ausbildung der Menschheit, als ein Ganzes zu vollenden.“ (Humboldt, 1793, 282) Diese Arbeit setzt sich auseinander mit der Rekonstruktion der „Theorie der Bildung des Menschen“ nach Humboldt und verfolgt die Frage, wie sich der Mensch bilden lasse und warum der Mensch gebildet werden muss. Es ist weder Ziel politische und ökonomische Aspekte tiefgehend mit einzubeziehen, noch soll die Verbindung zur Sprache und Kultur explizit ausgeführt werden.

Download or read book Systems of Reason and the Politics of Schooling written by Miguel Pereyra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-27 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1980s were an important decade for educational inquiry. It was the moment of the “linguistic turn,” with its emphasis on the role of language as a constructor of reality, a structuring agent for institutions such as schools, and a medium for translating knowledge into elements of power for processes of social regulation. Drawing on the work and insights of educational researcher Thomas S. Popkewitz, this book shows how the linguistic turn provided an alternative to both mainline educational research grounded in the ideals of political liberalism and the effort of neo-Marxists to challenge liberal thinking in favor of a scholarship based on class conflict and economic determinism.

Download or read book German Political Philosophy written by Chris Thornhill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines philosophical, intellectual-historical and political-theoretical methodologies to provide a new synoptic reading of the history of German political philosophy. Incorporating chapters on the political ideas of Luther and Zwingli, on the politics of the early Enlightenment, on Idealism, on Historicism and Lukács, on early Twentieth-Century political theology, on the Frankfurt School, and on Habermas and Luhmann, the book sets out both a broad and a detailed discussion of German political reflection from the Reformation to the present. In doing so, it explains how the development of German political philosophy is marked by a continual concern with certain unresolved and recurrent problems. It claims that all the major positions address questions relating to the origin of law, that all seek to account for the relation between legal validity and metaphysical and theological superstructures, and that all are centred on the attempt to conceptualise and reconstruct the character of the legal subject.

Download or read book Germany from the Outside written by Laurie Ruth Johnson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation-state is a European invention of the 18th and 19th centuries. In the case of the German nation in particular, this invention was tied closely to the idea of a homogeneous German culture with a strong normative function. As a consequence, histories of German culture and literature often are told from the inside-as the unfolding of a canon of works representing certain core values, with which every person who considers him or herself “German” necessarily must identify. But what happens if we describe German culture and its history from the outside? And as something heterogeneous, shaped by multiple and diverse sources, many of which are not obviously connected to things traditionally considered “German”? Emphasizing current issues of migration, displacement, systemic injustice, and belonging, Germany from the Outside explores new opportunities for understanding and shaping community at a time when many are questioning the ability of cultural practices to effect structural change. Located at the nexus of cultural, political, historiographical, and philosophical discourses, the essays in this volume inform discussions about next directions for German Studies and for the Humanities in a fraught era.

Download or read book Fichte s Addresses to the German Nation Reconsidered written by Daniel Breazeale and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on one of J. G. Fichte’s best-known and most controversial works. One of J. G. Fichte’s best-known works, Addresses to the German Nation is based on a series of speeches he gave in Berlin when the city was under French occupation. They feature Fichte’s diagnosis of his own era in European history as well as his call for a new sense of German national identity, based upon a common language and culture rather than “blood and soil.” These speeches, often interpreted as key documents in the rise of modern nationalism, also contain Fichte’s most sustained reflections on pedagogical issues, including his ideas for a new egalitarian system of Prussian national education. The contributors’ reconsideration of the speeches deal not only with technical philosophical issues such as the relationship between language and identity, and the tensions between universal and particular motifs in the text, but also with issues of broader concern, including education, nationalism, and the connection between morality and politics.

Download or read book Beyond Fragmentation Didactics Learning and Teaching in Europe written by Meinert Meyer and published by Verlag Barbara Budrich. This book was released on 2011-05-30 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is great diversity in teacher education systems and approaches to learning and teaching practice across Europe, even though the practical everyday problems of the various national education systems may be very similar. Against this background, in the field of research on didactics, learning and teaching it is important to overcome fragmentation and to find common ground. In this book the editors demonstrate how far we have come over recent years in advancing research in the field which has the ultimate aim of improving learning and teaching. The editors recognise the diverging national and local practices as a starting point in searching for common ground and in creating shared understandings. The book is organised in six parts with 26 chapters in which the authors examine whether there is a paradigmatic shift from teaching to learning, take a closer look at various teacher education models and their empirical basis, discuss the importance of subject didactics, curriculum work and lesson planning, and analyse the impact of Information and Communication Technologies on didactical design. Finally, they relate the empirical findings to theory construction and offer proposals to further advance this vital field by increasing levels of international co-operation.
