Course Contents
The lecture will provide a historical and epistemological overview of how conceptions of "learning" and "technology" influenced each other in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Literature
Literature will be provided via Moodle:
For introduction:
Lück, Helmut E., Geschichte der Psychologie, Stuttgart 2011.
Guski-Leinwand, Susanne. Wissenschaftsforschung zur Genese der Psychologie in Deutschland vom ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert bis Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Münster 2010.

Official Course Description
The concept of "learning" refers to a complex history and systematic of heterogeneous, mutually exclusive and at the same time complementary conceptions, which determined human thinking, acting and self-understanding especially in the Western knowledge. However, this history cannot be answered without the question of "technology". "Learning" and "technology" can no longer, as the lecture will elaborate, be considered separately from each other, and certainly no longer as naive enemies, but must be examined historically and systematically in terms of their co-construction and epistemic negotiation processes. The development of the learning-technology complex will be used to show how the connection between technology and learning helped to shape notions of education as well as scientific discourses (behaviorism, cybernetics). For this purpose, a critical look at the concepts such as "lifelong learning" will also be taken. The history and systematic of the connection between "learning" and "technology" as a fundamental concept of western knowledge transfer points to a certain argumentation and practice of how we deal with animals, machines but also other humans. In the course of the lecture, experimental psychological currents such as behaviorism and cognitivism will be considered as well as the technical science of cybernetics and virtual reality research.
Additional Information
CPs are earned through a written exam at the end of the lecture.
