Rolf Arnold - Assisted Learning

In this book Rolf Arnold combines three trends of long years of research activity: innovative teaching methods based on the principles of self-determination and self-control of the learner, the concept of «pedagogic leadership» and finally the approach of «emotional competence». These three pillars form the fundamental basis for «Assisted Learning» as a future-oriented concept of adult education that places the learner at the centre point. "Assisted Learning" (enabling didactics) characterizes a teaching-learning process, which shifts the angle of vision away from teaching to learning. In class, as in other learning situations there is no direct and causal production of learning. Learning takes place exclusively through independent acquisition of the learner. As a result what is taught is not what is learnt.
