Key problems(Klafki)Problem of peace (self-reflection about collective aggression and consideration of the question whether there is any moral justification for wars)Problem of the environment (including the accountability and controllability of scientific-technological development. Further development of the industrial society will remain a risk society and the logic of progress can not be followed uncritically)Problem of socially engendered inequality (within societies & between societies)The threats and opportunities of the new technical control, information and communications media (destruction of jobs)The tension between individual claims to happiness and recognition of the OtherTypical structural problems of our historical epoch and can not be extended indefinitely
Present-day problem complexes(Kemp)Financial globalizationIntercultural coexistence Physical sustainability of the WorldFurther compounded by the increase in global crime (financial crime, internet crime, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes against the future of humanity through pollution of the planet)These problems cannot be solved by any political actor alone.
Cosmopolitan pedagogy and mimesis as solutions to classical dilemmas
4 fundamental attitudes and skills(Klafki)Willingness to criticize and the ability to criticizeWillingness to argue and the ability to argueEmpathy – seeing a situation or problem from the point of view of the other person concernedSynthetic thought – the awareness that everything is connected to everything
Consequences for the classroompracticeProblem studies Formation of teacher teamsExemplary teaching and learningMethod-oriented learningAction-oriented teaching (practical learning – reflective processing)Co-operative learning, ability to help others in the learning process, rational forms of dealing with conflicts, ability to put forward one’s own ideas and arguments
CasesIndividual differences and equality of education (is what is good for the society good for the individual?)Whose aims matter? (how should disagreements about aims be handled?)
