Principles of Learning The basis for the construction of the digital learning offering in this project: • Self-Organized Learning • Playful Learning • Collaborative Learning • Reflexive Learning
Self-Organized Learning • „We can only know what we compile ourselves“ • Ernst v. Glasersfeld 2008
„Playing and working together from the first step towards knowledge“ Playful Learning John Dewey 1949
Collaborative Learning • For apprentices, learning with each other and from each other is not only more interesting than learning alone; other apprentices are also • a valued source of knowledge, which corresponds to a high readiness to share knowledge with others.
Reflexive Learning • Reflexive Learning aims at a critical and responsible appreciation and evaluation of actions on the basis of reflecting and reasoning powers.
