Faszination Spiel: Wie wir spielend zu Gesundheit, Glück und innerer Balance finden
by Sabine Weinberger Helga LindnerSpielen weckt in allen Altersstufen die in uns angelegte Kreativität, Kommunikationsfähigkeit und Kooperation, die heute als Schlüsselqualifikationen für eine gelingende Lebensgestaltung im 21. Jahrhundert gelten. In unserer leistungsorientierten Gesellschaft kommt jedoch eine spielerische Herangehensweise an das Leben zu kurz. Das Buch bringt deshalb einen Gegenentwurf zum Optimierungswahn, dem Kinder ausgesetzt sind und der sich dann im Erwachsenenalter in Form der Selbstoptimierung fortsetzt. Es zeigt auf, was Spielen für Kinder bedeutet, wie sich dies im Jugendalter verändert und wie viel mehr Erwachsene bis ins hohe Alter an Lebensfreude und Gesundheit dazugewinnen können, wenn sie wieder mehr Spiel ins Leben bringen. Anhand von entwicklungspsychologischen Grundlagen, Geschichten, Metaphern und vielen Beispielen geht das Buch dem Phänomen der Faszination im Spiel nach. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie viel wir von dieser Faszination von Geburt an mitbringen, wie unterschiedlich sich diese Fähigkeit in den verschiedenen Lebensabschnitten darstellt und wie sie als wichtige Ressource für ein lebendiges Leben wieder entdeckt werden kann.Mit einem Vorwort von Prof. Dr. Gerald Hüther. "In diesem Buch findet jeder - egal ob jugendlich, erwachsen oder im Ruhestand - viele Ideen und Anregungen, wie man sich im Spiel neu entdecken und Lebensfreude empfinden kann." Dr. Martin Textor„Spielend das Leben lernen, das ermöglicht dieses Buch. Es ist so einfach: Man muss nur einer Faszination folgen. Die kann man zwar nicht “machen”, aber die Voraussetzungen dafür lassen sich schaffen. Mit einer Fülle von Anregungen. In diesem Buch.“ Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Schmid
Faszination der Vielfalt des Lebendigen - Didaktik des Draußen-Lernens
by Lissy JäkelSie möchten mit Ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern einen persönlichen Beitrag zur Erhaltung der Insektenvielfalt oder der Biodiversität insgesamt leisten? Sie möchten dem Klimawandel durch sinnvolle Gestaltung ihres Umfeldes oder Verhaltens aktiv begegnen? Sie sorgen sich um die Belastungsgrenzen unseres Planeten? Vielleicht möchten Sie mit Ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern auch konkret die geeigneten Kräuter, Gewürze und Gemüse für das Essen oder den eigenen Garten auswählen, die Tiere und Pflanzen ihrer Umgebung wirklich kennen und wertschätzen, als Bildungswert und Teil unserer Kultur begreifen? Vielleicht wünschen Sie sich in unserem Alltag deutlich mehr grüne Technologien? Der Mangel an Kenntnissen und Bereitschaften zur Erhaltung der natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen auf unserer Erde ist empirisch belegt. Es fehlt an konkreten Fähigkeiten und Wissen im Umgang mit dem Lebendigen, die man sich im Nachhinein gern auch durch Schulbildung gewünscht hätte. Nutzen wir die Chancen zur Veränderung der Unterrichtkultur in den Naturwissenschaften! Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) ist mittlerweile ein wichtiges Leitbild in der derzeitigen Bildungslandschaft. Machen wir uns die positiven Erfahrungen aus zahlreichen Unterrichtssituationen zum Draußen–Lernen, oder - um ein modernes Schlagwort zu benutzen - der Outdoor Education, zunutze. Beziehen wir bei der Wahl der geeigneten Lernorte zum Kompetenzerwerb die authentischen natürlichen und gesellschaftlichen Räume stärker als bisher in den Regelunterricht ein. Machen wir das Draußen-Lernen „ortüblich“ und streiten wir weniger darum, ob dies nun Outdoor-Learning, außerschulisches Lernen, Schulgarten und Schulgelände, Exkursion oder Lerngang genannt wird. Die Kinder und Jugendlichen und zugleich Sie als Lehrkräfte didaktisch zu bereichern – dafür eröffnet das Buch in Reflexion jahrelanger Bildungsprozesse draußen sehr konkrete Angebote.
