Theories - Applying and Exploring Them in Depth
The worksheet aims to provide students with a deep understanding of a pedagogical theory. Students apply central technical terms, transfer theoretical concepts to pedagogical scenarios, and reflect on the relevance of the theory for practical application.
Content and methods:
The focus is on the application, in-depth exploration, and critical reflection of an educational theory. Methodologically, the worksheet combines the translation of technical terms into everyday language, cooperative group work via an expert group method, the elaboration and presentation of subject-specific content, the development of practical case studies, the analysis of different positions and arguments, as well as a concluding reflection and self-assessment.
Competencies:
- Apply and explain central terms and concepts of a theory
- Comprehend, structure, and summarize specialized texts
- Transfer theoretical content to pedagogical situations and case examples
- Analyze and evaluate professional positions and arguments
- Formulate and justify personal judgments
- Reflect on and assess one's own learning progress
Target group and level:
Adult students or trainees in the field of social pedagogy, particularly aspiring educators.
Note on further work: The worksheet serves to deepen and apply a pedagogical theory. It can build upon an introductory worksheet and forms the foundation for further tasks in which theoretical concepts are applied to more complex practical examples and critically reflected upon. Introductory worksheet on the topic: Theories – Fundamentals
Note: Internet access is required for the group research phase.
Theories – Fundamentals
The worksheet aims to provide students with a fundamental understanding of a specific theory within the field. Students are expected to grasp the theory's core assumptions, contextualize technical terms, and recognize the significance of theoretical explanatory approaches for analyzing, interpreting, and reflecting on subject-specific contexts.
Content and Methods:
The focus is on the core idea of the respective theory, key technical terms, and important theorists, as well as their relevance to understanding subject-specific phenomena, processes, or practical situations. Methodologically, the worksheet combines image analysis, hypothesis generation, work with texts, structuring information via a study card, subject-specific review through a terminology puzzle, and a final self-assessment.
Competencies:
- Acquiring specialized knowledge regarding theoretical explanatory approaches and applying key terms
- Extracting, highlighting, and structuring information from a foundational text
- Explaining theoretical content in one's own words
- Verifying initial hypotheses and refining them using subject-specific terminology
- Reflecting on and assessing one's own learning progress
Target Group and Level:
Students or trainees in the field of social pedagogy, particularly aspiring educators. The level of difficulty ranges from basic to intermediate.
Functions of Social Attitudes
This worksheet aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of social attitudes by defining their structural components and analyzing their psychological functions based on Daniel Katz’s functional theory. Students learn to identify how attitudes help individuals navigate social environments, express identity, and maintain self-esteem.
Content and methods:
The worksheet employs a multi-step pedagogical approach, starting with a realistic class chat scenario to prompt initial reflection. It then uses structured multiple-choice tasks to clarify the cognitive, affective, and conative components of attitudes. Finally, the material introduces Katz’s four functions (adaptive, value-expressive, knowledge, and ego-defensive) through a social media-style infographic, requiring students to apply these concepts by categorizing the classmates' statements and reflecting on their own perspectives.
Competencies:
- Definition and differentiation of the structural components of attitudes (ABC-model)
- Analytical application of Katz’s functional theory to real-life scenarios
- Self-reflection and perspective-taking within social contexts
- Critical evaluation of the changeability of attitudes based on their underlying functions
Target group: grades 10 and higher + students of social education
