#dimi_18: Collaboration as a learning principle

As a trainer, how can I create a safe framework for collaborative learning?

Haven’t we done that already? Why another #dimi on this topic? The answer is that creating a collaborative learning environment is one of the most central questions in the design of learning processes and therefore deserves a lot of attention.

This blog post addresses the question of what makes a group work well and what it takes for me as a trainer to make this happen.

Using the SCARF model, I will explain why group work and other forms of collaborative learning can unconsciously generate a lot of stress and what we as trainers can do to turn stress into a positive learning zone.

In order to follow well on from the #dimi_17, I will summarise the most important statements once again:

Ihre Illustrationen wollen Geschichten erzählen, die manchmal durch Worte nicht transportierbar sind. Julias handgezeichnete Grafiken bringen Wortspiele und Sprachbilder auf eine illustrative Ebene und schaffen einen lebendigen Konnex zum Text. Ihre Beschäftigung mit Materialien aller Art überschreitet oft auch die zweidimensionale Ebene und lässt Illustrationen zu dreidimensionalen Objekten werden. Im Blog #geb stehen die mit lebendigen Linien handgezeichneten Protagonist:innen im Fokus, die in „Kurzgeschichten“, durch den Text führen und Leser:innen neugierig auf mehr machen sollen …

Why cooperation is sometimes so difficult and yet can increase learning success

Have you also experienced that learning in a group is sometimes easy and fun and sometimes feels like an uphill struggle with no satisfying outcome?

This blog post explores the conditions that make collaborative learning work well at times and create frustration at others. Where is the turning point when learners are motivated to participate despite initial resistance because they realise that they can take away more from this kind of learning than from a full-frontal lecture?

The current #dimi is about what collaborative learning is and how it can contribute to the development of competences. The next #dimi will then take a closer look at the conditions that make collaborative learning difficult or easier.

#mm: Storytelling online

Stories and examples for lecture, training and seminar

On 14 October 2020, the seminar „Storytelling in trade union education work“ took place for the second time. This time online and therefore also shortened in time. The big question for the trainers Michael Ziereis and Ulli Lipp: Storytelling, is it also possible online? How much is lost when we hear the narrators through the speaker and see them as a section of a picture?

#mm: Methods with distance – Part 2

Lineups with avatars

Constellations are an extremely popular method that many trainers like to use often – so often that they even made it into our series „Annoying Methods“.
In Corona times, however, constellations cannot be done anyway – unless perhaps the whole group goes outside and everyone takes their baby elephants with them. So what to do?

#mm: Methods with distance – Part 1

Classroom training is starting up again. Now, methods are needed in which we don’t get too close to each other and in which the risk of infection is also minimized in other ways. There is much more to it than just a frontal lecture. Diversity of methods and especially the activation of the participants are also important in times of a pandemic! Here are our experiences after practical tests.

#mm: Tips for closing

Designing the end of trainings, courses and seminars

Conclusions of seminars & co. are a key point in the learning process. They also determine whether participants leave the seminar room full of energy and encouragement or get up from their computers after a webinar. We have compiled tips and suggestions: How do I close the bag?
