SCROLL FOR ENGLISH
“Schule und wir” ist eine Publikation des Bayerischen Kultusministeriums, die von Abertausenden von Eltern gelesen wird.
Das zweite Heft des Jahres 2014 enthielt u.a. sehr interessante Stellungnahmen zur inklusiven Pädagogik. Deshalb ist es umso unverständlicher, dass das oben abgebildete Interview mit Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Heckl auf der Rückseite abgedruckt werden konnte. Ich finde, dass dieses Interview alle Vorurteile des Pädagogen gegenüber pädagogischem Analphabetismus bedient.
Was es da nicht alles angedeutet wird! Dass das wichtigste im Schulwesen die Schulnoten wären; dass Bullying als “Schulstreich” ginge; dass die Bestimmung der Cleveren darin läge, viel Geld zu verdienen. Die Feststellung am Ende des Interviews klingt nur grotesk und heuchlerisch.
Heckl ist Generaldirektor des Deutschen Museums und Inhaber eines Lehrstuhls für Wissenschaftskommunikation an der TUM. Insofern wäre er das deutsche Pendant zu Richard Dawkins…
Die britische Bildung ist bestimmt nicht so viel besser als die deutsche. Es ist eher der Vergleich Dawkins-Heckl, der einfach ungünstig ist.
ENOUGH WITH SCROLLING
“Schule und wir” is a publication of the Bavarian Ministry of Culture. Hundreds of thousands of parents read every issue.
Among other things, the second issue of the year 2014 contained some very interesting approaches to inclusion in education.
However, on the back cover one can read professor Wolfgang Heckl’s interview which manages to justify every stereotype which the education expert has towards the pedagogical illiteracy of unreflected people.
…
The best farce I have done at school was when we closed another student in the closet. During the instruction he started making noise. The teacher got panicked.
…
My parents were not supposed to know that I earned so much money with giving lessons.
…
I began in the fifth class with an E in Latin and finished school with the best grade ever – until now.
Since also students read the publication and since these interviews are about to portray people to imitate, I can imagine that teachers cannot quite as easily persuade their students that bullying is evil; that education is not about earning money; that education does not consist in marks. Heckl makes me wonder if he read what he wrote/said in his interview, when he concludes:
Education should enable people to make a picture of this world.
Heckl is the general director of the Deutsches Museum and professor of Science Communication at the Technical University of Munich – which makes him a counterpart of Richard Dawkins…
No, the British education is not so much better than the German. It’s probably just the comparison between Dawkins and Heckl which is unfavourable.
