Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The OECD identifies three forms of learning the formal, the non-formal, and the informal. Yet, traditionally, learning is attached to institutional settings. Learning happens in/to humans everywhere by the mere fact of being alive. The course charts in a variety of theoretical perspectives what can be regarded as a transformation in educational thinking. It shines light on teaching and learning activities and perspectives which are normally in the periphery of the study of the field of education in general. All in all, the course introduces students to a critical understanding of the principles and practice of fostering learning and development while trying to overcome the unnecessary formal informal educational divide.
