Opis

Didactics of philosophy and ethics demands problem based orientation and relevance for real life experiences. However, excursions, extracurricular places of learning or 'outdoor education' have hardly been taken into account. A systematic exploration of possible cooperations, synergy effects or incompatibilities has not yet been carried out. The present volume attempts to close this gap and to create an initial basis for further research, testing and discussion. It is intended to make a contribution to teacher training at universities and study seminars as well as to exploratory research in subject didactics.

Blurb

Field trips, extracurricular places of learning or even ‘outdoor education’ have hardly been considered in philosophy didactics so far. This volume aims to close this gap and to stimulate further research and discussion. Theoretical-conceptual contributions discuss the essence of philosophical education and its compatibility with experiential education approaches; possible cooperation partners describe their self-image and perspective. Exemplary teaching units demonstrate the methodological-practical level and first empirical research approaches finally put their approaches up for discussion.
