Learning in Learning Fields

The learning field concept gives vocational education and training an original, educational-theoretical foundation. Only work tasks that have a potential for the learner’s competence development have the quality of “development tasks” and can be transferred as learning situations. Learning situations can be worked on in a few hours if they are restricted to conceptual-planning work—as is the case with open test tasks. To conclude this chapter, the eight essential steps of the work and learning process structure in learning situations are shown.
