PHILOSOPHIE(GESCHICHTE) AUF GRUNDLAGE VON GAARDERS «SOFIES WELT» IM DAF-SACHUNTERRICHT NACH LDL

Abstract

: Thoroughly positive experience previously gained from both philosophical and issues of philosophical history in social study classes (cf. Hengelbrock 1991a; b; c; 1992; Heller 1994) convinced the author to even go beyond that by implementing Jostein Gaarder’s project idea “Sophie’s World” in a kind of special classroom of German as foreign language (cf. Oebel 2005a; b; c; 2007). In this context, Jean-Pol Martin’s “holistic approach” (Abendroth-Timmer) LdL (“Learning-by-Teaching” for German “Lernen-durch-Lehren”) seems to be the probably most emphatic constructivistic project teaching method (cf. Scheelhaas 1997; 2003; Wolff 2002), a fact that it has already proved impressively and sustainably not only in the follow-up project presently described but on several other occasions.
