Dietrich, Stephan; Herr, Monika: Organisational development and new learning cultures

The theme “new teaching and learning cultures” is a thematic focus in the professional discourse of adult education for a few years already. One consequence of the hightened attention is an increasingly differentiated understanding of what can be regarded as the ”new teaching and learning cultures”. It can be observed that the treatment of the theme does not allow a restriction on the questions of didactics and learning organisation. Already today efforts can be seen of the practice of trying to create good conditions for teaching and learning that want to support and foster the self-directed learning of adults. These efforts clearly highlight the need to integrate the adult education institutions in a creative way. This contribution looks at the question of which developments of organisations are necessary when changes of learning cultures arise. Moreover it is shown how an organisational development process to develop new learning cultures can be laid out.
