Learning Cultures – Reconstruction of Pedagogical Practices at All-day Schools

Project Description

Based on four case studies of all-day schools in different federal states, developmental processes are described. Prerequisites and difficulties can thus be explained that are associated to the introduction of all-day schools in a country like Germany, which is traditionally rooted in half-day school systems with their respective learning cultures. The authors use a new “learning cultures“ concept in their analyses. Their terminology allows for the reconstruction of pedagogical activities at individual schools in terms of a tradition which serves as a „developmental pathway“ for possible changes and the reception of reform approaches. Evidently and understandably, typical problems will emerge, for instance the question of dealing with homework.
