Lebenslanges Lernen als Erziehungswissenschaft

Rainer Brödel, Tobias Nettke, Julia Schütz

Lifelong learning is more than a buzzword—it's a battleground for the soul of education. In this deep dive, we unpack the groundbreaking book 'Lebenslanges Lernen als Erziehungswissenschaft' (Volume 23), a tribute to Professor Dieter Nittel. Discover why education must be a 'practical science' that protects human dignity, not a mechanical tool for control. We explore the PAELL study, which reveals a shocking lack of solidarity among educators, and the double-edged sword of counseling, where support clashes with judgment. Learn how innovation awards often fail, why media overload creates false learning, and how true leadership is shaped by early independence. This video offers a critical lens on the hidden crises and paradoxes of lifelong learning, challenging you to rethink what it means to educate and be educated. Authored by Rainer Brödel, Tobias Nettke, and Julia Schütz, this is a must-watch for educators, policymakers, and anyone questioning the system.
