ABSTRACT

Building on a the subject- and world-centered concept of learning developed in the book, and on an understanding of the inner connection between digitalization and learning, this chapter addresses the question of how to shape worlding practices of learning in the face of a world in crisis. It focuses on two aspects. First, on the question of learner participation, not only in terms of the learning method but also in terms of the learning content. Without learner participation, there is no learning as a worlding practice, and without learning as a worlding practice, there is no understanding of the inner connection between digitalization and learning. Therefore, the chapter explains why and how an experimental practice of learning can be formed, also in educational institutions, in which not only the teachers but also the learners decide about the learning content. Next, the chapter focuses on the art of disconnecting and presents guiding principles that can help to clarify why and when it makes sense to temporarily disconnect from the world of digital connectedness in the act of learning.
