If new theoretical approaches
emerge from criticism of established theories, they have to
prove reasonable in the framework of empirical research projects.
This is also true for approaches of contextual learning. In
this contribution, characteristic features of contextual learning
approaches will be described. In addition, the most important
research surveys and their designs will be discussed. Following
the first predominantly ethno-methodological phase, current
research focuses on the investigation of the collaborative culture
of learning, analyzing both shared and individual knowledge.
At this stage, research is mainly based on the principle of
ecological validity, implemented by means of complex designs
and field experiments. The presented surveys of five research
groups show a change in methodology that is called interactive
or integrative methodology. Finally, this contribution refers
to possible consequences for educational philosophy and technology. |
