Merkur Lernsituationen Büromanagement 2

The three-volume workbook series "Learning Situations in Office Management" (3rd edition 2019, to be released in summer 2019) follows the approach of learning field concepts and promotes career-oriented, holistic, and self-directed learning for students. Each individual workbook covers the learning fields of a training year. The learning fields of the framework curriculum are specified in the form of learning situations. In this way, the workbooks deepen the idea of competence orientation (situation-related, problem-oriented, competence-enhancing), document competence acquisition due to their workbook character, and relieve teachers of the burden of lesson preparation, copying effort, and didactic annual planning. The learning situations also support teamwork as well as the students' ability to present and discuss. Thus, they promote competencies that go far beyond mere subject-specific knowledge. The model company "Heinrich KG" serves as the basis for developing the learning situations. Heinrich KG is a fictional company in the office furniture industry that manufactures office furniture and trades in suitable accessories. With the consistently and economically credible modeled data, all qualifications and competencies required in the training of commercial apprentices can be developed and learned in a job-related and action-oriented manner. The open design of the individual learning situations allows for interdisciplinary connections in many places. This intensively trains the students' ability to assess issues from various perspectives and implement them appropriately in different situations. Since the workbooks (3rd edition 2019, to be released in Q2 2019) are coordinated with the learning books "Office Management," the combination promises the best teaching and learning outcomes.
