Introduction: The achievements in life sciences of the last 50 years have widely deepened knowledge and the possibility of intervention on the foundations of living nature. However, such undeniable achievements, by focusing primarily on structural aspects of biological organization, have not shed much light on other characteristics of living creatures, such as historical and ecological ones.

Abstract: The economic crisis the world is living through shows us the ineffectiveness of the capitalist development model and of the current financial systems. The real economy is superseded by an ephemeral one which increases inequalities between and within countries, while at the same time emphasizing the need for new social and economic frameworks that are open, inclusive, just, and environ...

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.

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? Wie groß sind die Risiken der Beschleunigung hinsichtlich der Qualität der Ergebnisse, nämlich der Formung der individuellen Persönlichkeit des Menschen wie des poli...

From the text: The possible answers are virtually infinite. Here I’d like to suggest one that may appear simplistic: education signifies providing tools to make people live better. True, this means that any argument based only on quantity is instantly incomplete: the idea that education is a matter of accumulating notions and skills (“the more I know the better I’ll be”) risks being inadequate,...

Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung: Themenblätter im Unterricht Nr. 92 bpb: Wachstum ist der Treibstoff unserer Wirtschaft.

Abstract: At the root of it all, what does the degrowth movement ask of us – the individual? In simple terms, it asks us to care about each other as living, breathing beings and to care about our habitat, Planet Earth, and then to act accordingly. It asks us to shift from a mentality of acquiring to one of sharing, or from selfishness to compassion, or even from worrying about one’s self to wor...

Wissenschaft für nachhaltige Entwicklung! - Dieser Ausruf soll Zweifaches bedeuten: Mit Bezug auf das normative Leitbild der nachhaltigen Entwicklung werden die Wissenschaften in die Pflicht genommen und aufgefordert, sich gemäß den Herausforderungen einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung auszurichten.

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 wurd...

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. Sie beginnt nach der Geburt, und sie ...

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. The U.S. Government knew this in the 19th century when it forced Native American children into government boarding schools.
