Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Over the last two centuries, social (economical, ecological, or political) events, processes, or developments that have been perceived as challenges or problems have more and more been interpreted as educational problem and therefore assigned to education in order to solve them. Based on selected historical sources and more recent research literature the seminar aims to understand this cultural development of the educationalization of social problems.

Assessment and permitted materials

The students will have to pass a test at the end of the seminar by answering selected questions in connection with the texts discussed during the seminar. It goes without saying that all the texts discussed during the seminar have to be very well read before coming to class. Active participation (discussion) is of course required.

Compulsory attendance, serious preparation prior to the meetings, active participation and 55% of the 20 possible points in the final test.
