Economic stronghold in small and medium size businesses („Mittelstand“)

High density of „Hidden Champions“, but big players as well (Dr. Oetker, Bertelsmann, Miele, )

Strong regional orientation of students and the work force in general; regional education outreach but national and international reputation depending on the field

Education is generally highly respected, requested and regarded; high figures in “first generation students” (average ~65% );

The University Environment

Recent Trends in German Higher Education More students: 51 % of an age group is studying, more

than entering the vocational education system.

“Universities of applies sciences (FH)” becoming more popular: since 2005 beginners increased by 60%; student share between FH and U is approaching 40:60 rather than 30:70 as in the 1990s

Number of students more then doubled since 2000 in Lemgo (from ~1500 to ~3800), corresponding to the all-time-high in student numbers in Germany

Growing heterogeneity: between 2010 and 2016 66% of freshman are „First Generation Students“

- Parenthesis 1 -►You are in an rowing boat on a small lake

(wine or lemonade is fine as well)

►In an unfortunate moment the six-pack goes overboardand sinks immideatly…

… what happens to the water level of the lake?

►(1) Nothing – it will stay unchanged(2) The water level falls(3) The water level rises

- with a six-pack of beer at your side

…it is a consequence of the MASS orthe VOLUME of the bottles(bouyant force in the ship vs. gravity)

…but WHY is it like this?

High demands on expertise and experience in the respective field but as well in soft skills

Graduates (university alumnis) have no longer or at least a reduce time of ajustment to a new job or new project; as a expectations to perform immediately is high

Often not a replacement of all ready existing duties/ tasks –rather project like new job descriptions/ layouts

Vanishing traditional life-long employment and working relations to just one employer

Remains open: employee engagement; finding the right employee and keeping it within the company; leadership, (…)

Demands from partners and the society

Dissolving barriers between work and leisure time; Convergence of communication and media use (…)

Focus on „making sense and making an impact“ in; maintaing high degrees of freedom

Cooperative Communcation – „sharing economy“

Digital is dominating; knowledge is available where-ever and when-ever; excuses and allows one owns part knowledge

Remaining unsolved: Leadership, decision-making, hirarchial communication etc.

What are the consequences to the general study-programs and ways of working?

Hallmarks of changing student generations

Changes*■ Student Orientation: Docent as Coach, making

individual „offers“ and advices

■ Outcome-Orientation, thinking about DropOut quota, accompaning the transition, stronger focus of the gouverment on these issues

■ Questioning the Effect of Teaching aside of Evaluation

■ Questioning the value for society, „Third Mission“ aside of Teaching and Research: Transfer as well

■ Competion between higher education insitutions – and systems in differnt countries - as well as private universities

■ Tendency to more specialized degrees

(*… to be seen as discussion points)

Which teaching and learningmethods will help to REACH theproposed learning outcomes?

Teaching and Learning

How are the test structured and designed in order to JUDGE if

the learning outcomes are reached?

Example: Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)


Example: Neuropsychology, Neurodidactics- get the brain „jumoing“

jumpingbrain.org

Our Brain= most important organ in metabolism,trained to be most efficient energy wise► No plain recepies – an no miracles, just training

► the brain cannot be trained to be more efficient - it is not „trainable“ to perform better, since many areas are “unused” sind – but it can be trained to perform tasks more efficient

► Find out what works best for you and your learning

A general view is::► ‚Brain-conform‘ work is to work connected, linking : the information using existing knowledge, pictures, emotions (…)

►the connections and the network is dynamic, it can grow and it can be lost – thus using the brain helps (example: musicians)


Examplel: (Radical) Change of study & teaching formatsCORE-Conzept of the (private) SRH Hochschule, Heidelberg

CORE = Competence Oriented Research and Education


Example: Chances in the adressat Generation X to Y and Z (and back…)

(Abb.: McCrindle Research, Forcast & Strategy 2012)


- Parenthesis 2 -

►What do you remember of this presentation?

(1) Which color had the bridge in the beginning?

(2) How many weeks dedicated to projects are running?

(3) What happens to the water level if you are in rowing boat …… ☺
