Lernen geht anders

That learning is more than just rote memorization of facts is clear to author Remo H. Largo, and he emphasizes this in his current book 'Learning Can Be Different.' For him, school learning has reached a dead end. Both teachers and students are solely focused on content. More and more material is expected to be crammed into young minds in increasingly shorter periods of time. However, Remo H. Largo argues that learning can be approached differently. Child-centered pedagogy raises the question of individual learning concepts. Building on his own research and further studies, Remo H. Largo advocates in 'Learning Can Be Different' for a trusting and mindful approach to children. Children are not small adults and should not be treated as such. They do not develop according to standardized expectations, which still dictate curricula today. Therefore, he calls for an education that takes place both at home and in school.
