Dr. Benjamin Apelojg is working as a scientific employee at the department for economic and technical education at the University of Potsdam. His dissertation treated the topic of emotions in personnel selection processes. In Magdeburg and Chemnitz he was as a visiting professor responsible for the economic education. Emotions and Needs in different learning environments and the management of learning are his main research topics. He developed the Felix-App which helps in digital and non-digital learning environments to create a good and productive learning atmosphere. The fast technical development of digitization leads to changed learning environments. The future of learning will be more and more digital and virtual. These changes call for new didactic concepts and models that meet the requirements of a “digital learning world”. The presentation initially raises the thesis that learning environments are becoming increasingly complex and dynamic. Self-regulated and collaborative learning will increase. In the presentation examples for digital learning environments and their advantages and disadvantages are given. In progress of the lecture will be shown that next to organizational and content issues needs and emotions play an important role in digital learning environments. Negative emotions and missing needs can interrupt and disturb learning processes. Positive Emotions and fulfilled needs can be helpful for the learning process. The management of learning in a digital age should focus on one side on the process of learning (https://www.unipotsdam.de/fileadmin01/projects/meprooek/Kompetenzmodell_der_ökonomischen_Bildung/Process-orientedDidactics_online.pdf Process-orientated-didactics Apelojg 2015) to deal with complexity and dynamics of future learning and on the other side integrate emerging needs and emotions into the process of learning. At the end of the lecture future demands on teachers will be discussed. |
