Temporalstrukturen "lebenslangen" Lernens: lebenslängliche Zumutung und lebensentfaltendes Potential

Abstract

The notion of lifelong learning is reshaping the structural principle according to which learning is organised in the time structures of society. Long periods of time spent in schools are becoming more flexible, with shorter sections of ordered learning times being distributed throughout people's lives and more flexible transitions taking place between work and learning. The threephase scheme for working life - training, work and retirement - is becoming more flexible. The LLL concept can be seen to be a reflection of the economic need for permanent adjustment and accommodation. It also creates new possibilities for structuring peoples personal lives over time as well as their learning and vocational biographies. In order to define this aspect more adequately, the author makes a case for coining the term "life-developing education".

Der Begriff "Lebenslanges Lernen" verweist mehr als seine Alternativen auf die Zeitstruktur von Lernen und Bildung. Aber wie sind Lernzeiten in zeitgenössischen Bildungslaufbahnen konkret zu denken? Welches sind die Voraussetzungen für eine Teilnahme an Lernen über die Lebenszeit? Welche Macht- und Verteilungsfragen rücken ins Zentrum? Wie kann unter den Bedingungen eines permanenten Zugriffs ökonomischer Rationalität das Konzept LLL "lebensentfaltend" gewendet werden?
