Pädagogik für die Soziale Arbeit

The textbook examines pedagogical questions from the perspective of selected current fields of Social Work. Basic pedagogical concepts including fieldwork, research, and everyday professional life are discussed. Theoretical foundations of pedagogy in a globalized world are introduced. Pedagogical habits are discussed with regard to the concept of „orientation towards daily life“. Different systematic approaches to pedagogical action based on the concept of „subject orientation“ are outlined (e. g., Flitner, Giesecke, and Prange). Democracy education and peace pedagogy are taken up as exemplary pedagogical topics.
The textbook is designed for lectures at the university level. It contains suggestions for further study. Reflective questions support the acquisition of reflexive professional competence.
