Die Macht der Metaphern

Anyone who deals with the question of how and why action- and experience-orientated pedagogy works will inevitably come across the theories of metaphorical learning. "The Power of Metaphors" by Stephen Bacon is the basic text for analysing the transfer model of metaphorical transfer par excellence. It is versatile because it can be used in a variety of ways: - as a trainer's manual - as a document of methodological development in the American scene - as a sound basis for discussion in German theory development - as a quality standard and food for thought for your own practical work with metaphors in experiential learning The introduction by Cornelia Schödlbauer presents the current state of the discussion on metaphorical learning. The foreword to the German edition by Christian Itin places Stephen Bacon's thinking and achievements in the context of the history of their development. An indispensable book for what is perhaps the most important topic on experiential learning in the 20th century. From the contents: Theoretical foundations How to use metaphors Assessment Of the cladding of the metaphor Archetypes Damage limitation for false metaphors.
