Wissen und Erfahrung in intergenerationalen Lernkulturen

Knowledge and experience can be understood as pivotal didactic variables not only in age-based learning environments but also in intergenerational learning cultures. This article focuses these two concepts and analyses them with regard to their function and relevance in intergenerational learning cultures. The theoretical and empirical findings of a triangulative study will support the argument. By presenting a theoretical and practical dichotomy concerning the use of knowledge and experience in intergenerational learning cultures, the contradictions in this non professionalized area of adult education can be made visible.
