Knowledge and understanding are the foundations of a successful, controllable and conscious life. Although humans are born as learning beings, the process of learning and understanding, which takes place virtually all the time, can be supported, encouraged and accelerated in a variety of ways.
Many modern societies have recognized this and created an education system to give young members of society a basic education for life.
Unfortunately, it is not clear which approaches and educational content should be taught and how, so that the personal potential of most participants in the education system is maximized and the enjoyment of learning and acquiring knowledge is maintained or promoted.
There are positive approaches[1] that have recognized that the traditional German education system is no longer up-to-date and effective and that there must be new ways of dealing with the new challenges of the 21st century.
To name just a few:
- Knowledge overload in general
- Overstimulation through media content
- Disproportion between trivial knowledge and useful knowledge
- Hidden / complicated access to useful knowledge
- Teacher qualification and teacher shortage
- Teacher suitability and teacher selection
- Language barriers and inclusion
- Lack of basic research
- Lack of an overall concept
