This book presents thoughts on and experiences with the
introduction of Theme-centered Interaction (TCI) into academia. TCI
is a systematic didactic, 'living learning' approach originally
developed by social psychologist and pedagogue Ruth C. Cohn. The
book explains and introduces the method, attitude and theory of TCI
to a broader, higher education audience and relates it to such
questions as: How does a teacher in academia achieve a lively and
engaging atmosphere in their seminars? How do young academics as
leaders-to-be learn how to act socially sustainably in groups?
Using practical examples, the book shows how TCI can work in higher
education to achieve participation and integration, reflectivity
and humane connectedness of academic teachers and students, and
professional development of senior and junior academics.
Religious and cultural diversity are increasingly visible today. At
the same time, increased fear of the "other" has manifested,
particularly of the Islamic religion. Islam today is considered a
"problematic" religion. This attitude yields many challenges in
universities and schools, particularly when it comes to religious
education. The Institute for Islamic Theology and Religious
Education and the Catholic Religious Education Department at the
University of Innsbruck are addressing these challenges, having
spearheaded a program of intensive cooperation in teacher education
- including courses on pedagogy, religious didactics, internships,
and evidence-based learning processes in schools and universities.
This research and teaching collaboration lacked an appropriate
framework. This book provides a solid basis for interreligious
pedagogy and didactics. Authentic interreligious cooperation begins
by promoting intra- and inter-religious self-confidence and
self-understanding. This required countless discussions among the
authors, which yielded distinct viewpoints as well as
commonalities. In this way the anthropological starting point for
this book emerged and is expanded through a theological perspective
on religious education and didactics. Various approaches and
attitudes are developed and examined, including contingency
sensibility, to support the competent planning, management, and
evaluation of educational processes in pluralistic and
heterogeneous fields.
