Fundamental changes in society due to the advancement of ICT

Impact on Education: E-learning, web-based learning

Education and learning a significant difference

Learning as inter-related steps:

Step I: classical stimulus-response Step II: context mattersStep III: traditions, cultures, patterns etc. become fragile

new frameworks to engange with yourself and the world need to be generated, i.e. new skills and competencies to master the challenges

It is not a learning process, it is an educational process

Education theories
Bildung

unique in the world
originated in Idealism
Philosophical roots
reflect conditions of society

My research approach

Mapping theoretical conceptions: What is education today?

Reflecting current conditions of the societyand of the educational systemCompile empirical evidence of OER and Open Education

How Open Education and OER impactEducation and Bildung?Provide a theoretical foundation

Introduce Open Education/OER to Education Theory

Reconstructive social research

What do you think about that?

Any suggestions or hints??
