"With every mistake we must surely be learning..." - Failure and negatice experience in Bildung and learning

„Mathein - pathein“, „aus Schaden wird man klug“, “reculer pour mieux sauter” or “no pain, no gain” – various metaphors refer to the connection between learning and suffering. It seems that learning cannot only be characterized by positive features (e. g. learning successes, affirmation of one’s skills) but also by regression and struggle. This seminar will focus on the connection between learning and negative experiences culminating in the concept of the negativity of learning. By examining everyday metaphors und examples from literature, the course will reveal basic links between commonplace instances of negativity and subsequently discuss the pedagogical relevance of failure.
Learning as a key concept of pedagogy will be examined on the premises of psychological, constructivistic and pedagogical theories of learning. The seminar will also give an outlook on the possibilities of empirical research conducted in the field of pedagogical negativity.

Controversies in contemporary educational research

Controversial questions and positions play a vital and fruitful role in the advancement of research fields. They are the sources of new problematizations and, at the same time, they discuss widely accepted certainties. The seminar addresses selected controversial positions in educational research and educational theory and discusses the role of controversies from an epistemological viewpoint. Discussions from English-speaking countries will also be taken into consideration.

Humanism, post-humanism, trans-humanism

Post- and trans-humanism have become sallient topics of philosophy since the proclamation of the 'death of (anthropological) man'. This has also lead to the transformation of images of humanity and in consequence to a changing image of man within educational studies and educational practice. This seminar is the follow-up course of last semesters seminar on anthropology.
