Lernorganisation |
Structure of the sessions The sessions are intended to give an introduction to the interdisciplinary transformation dis-course and enable in-depth debate of its essential and up-to-date scientific papers. Students are expected to prepare to the seminar by reading the respective paper that will be discussed in the session. For this purpose, students are grouped according to a set of criteria for ana-lyzing conceptions of social-ecological transformations: depth of change, breadth of change, timeframe of change, direction of change . Students then prepare the respective paper, par-ticularly focusing on the contribution of the paper to the assigned category. In the sessions, the contents of the paper are discussed along the lines of critical thinking. First, it is assured that the papers are well understood by the students, then critically discussed in further detail with focus on the SET criteria, where the students’ insights will be brought together and fur-ther developed. |
