Orte der Lernermöglichung. Wie Kontextmerkmale Lernprozesse unterstützen

Starting from constructivist, neurophysiologic and learning psychological deliberations the actual learning place should be described as the human being because only within him is where the learning takes place. Unanimously though, learning is always carried out in interaction with contextual factors. The outer environment – and therewith also local conditions – influence the processing of information. Hereunto three examples are named: (1) The Loci method links memory contents with places. (2) The similarity affinity of a learning place with an exam room promotes knowledge retrieval at exams. (3) Generally a positive atmosphere promotes the learning success. The author pleads for using accuracy concerning the selection and design of »places of learning facilitation« and she addresses future research needs.
