Abstract

The educational model proposed by John Dewey brings the student in the center of the pedagogical act and promotes an approach that emphasizes on the motivational structure of the student’s personality, on his/her interests and skills, those being considered as important variables in the educational process. In this respect, an educational approach able to harness and maximize the students’ natural potential is claimed by the actual educational system, mostly when proposing to implement student-centered learning at all the levels, as its main objective. So, taking into account that the student-centered learning starting practically with a change in the teachers’ current practice, it comes the question: under what conditions this model can be really applied in practice?

Das von John Dewey vorgeschlagene Bildungsmodell stellt den Schüler in den Mittelpunkt des pädagogischen Handelns und fördert einen Ansatz, der sich auf die motivationale Struktur der Per­sönlichkeit des Schülers, seiner Interessen und Fähigkeiten konzentriert, die als wichtige Variable im Bildungsprozess gelten. In diesem Zu­sammenhang ist ein Bildungsansatz erforderlich, der in der Lage ist, das natürliche Potenzial der Schüler zu nutzen und zu maximieren, vor allem, wenn wir studierendenzentrierten Lernstrategie auf allen Ebe­nen als Hauptziel implementieren mögen. Da es sich bei dem lerner­zentrierten Lernen jedoch im Grunde um eine Veränderung der derzei­tigen Lehrerpraxis handelt, versucht d dieser Artikel die folgende Fra­ge zu beantworten: Unter welchen Bedingungen kann dieses Modell tatsächlich in der Praxis genutzt werden?

Schlüsselwörter: Schülerzentriertes Lernen, zeitgenössische Schule, pädagogisches Modell, Erfahrung, John Dewey
