Summer Semester 2023

On research leave - no courses.

Informal learning in digital settings

The use of digital media is accompanied by a wide range of informal learning experiences. For example, young people learn more or less appropriate manners in social exchange, they acquire knowledge about the regulation of privacy on the Internet, or they learn about cyberbullying and how to combat it. In the first part of the seminar, we will learn about scientific findings on informal learning experiences in digital media and reflect on them against the background of our own media usage behavior. In the second part of the seminar, you will work in small groups to design a preventive measure to raise awareness of phenomena such as sexual harassment on the Internet, cyberbullying, violent computer games and sexting. Finally, these will be presented to each other and critically evaluated in a virtual gallery tour.

Learning in museums

Lifelong learning is also playing an increasingly important role outside formal learning contexts such as schools, universities, training centers or vocational training. Museums are places of learning where non-formal or informal learning takes place. Visitors of different age groups and educational backgrounds acquire new knowledge in a self-determined way. In the seminar, the current state of knowledge about the special learning conditions in museums, the potentials and limits of learning for different target groups will be developed on the basis of the relevant literature. The participants will reflect on these findings in the context of their own practical experience in the design of non-formal learning opportunities. Building on the theoretical background and empirical findings on learning in museums, teaching-learning situations for the museum context will be designed in small groups.
