Self-directed and cooperative learning with lecture recording
Marc Krueger

This event took place on 5th September 2005

The contemporary aspects call for additional competence to the future employees. The educational media shows the potential of learner-centred learning arrangement by new electronic medias. EULER and PATZOLD establish the hypothesis that electronic medias enhance soft-skills like competence of self-directed learning, competence of working in a team and competence of media. An interesting point of view was formulated by EULER and WILBERS for a pedagogic approach for the university of St. Gallen: Self-directed and cooperative learning with electronic media. Lecture recordings can be integrated for the education in several learning arrangements. The learning arrangement practised by FOERTSCH, ET AL. promises a good pedagogic design to enhance soft-skills. This learning arrangement opens out the teacher-centred learning approach and enables a limited degree of freedom for self-directed learning. This indirect approach for self-directed learning ranges between teacher-centred and learner-centred approach and build a bridge among those both learning arrangements. The lecture recording allows a similar and well structured offer about the learning facts. All learners have the possibility to reach the same standard of knowledge. The self-directed learning process enables the practise of learning strategies. By this way the learner can be slowly trained in self-directed learning. Furthermore learning in groups of three learners advances the competence of working in a team.

The results of this learning arrangement show a high acceptance about this kind of learning by learner and teacher. Furthermore it shows that this learning arrangement is practicable. Actually there are no research?s results about the advance of the soft-skills. Moreover the authors give very few information about how to design the learning arrangement.
