Congress for Education
The Congress for Education (also GöKEB) is a scientific conference that takes place annually in Göttingen . The congress combines experiences from pedagogical practice with current developments in relevant scientific areas, in particular pedagogy and neurosciences .
The Göttingen upbringing and educational congresses are aimed at teachers, educators, social pedagogues, paediatricians, child and youth psychiatrists, therapists, parents and an interested public.
The more recent results from various research areas are presented in a practice-oriented manner in the sense of an interdisciplinary work.
Congress for Education
The series of congresses was founded in 2000 by the neuroscientist Gerald Hüther and the school director and educationalist Karl Gebauer , with the aim of increasing the exchange between science and practice and to look for solutions to difficulties in education together with the participants. The first congress for upbringing and education thus coincided with the first PISA study , which sparked a broad social debate about the education system.
The series of events deals with different forms of teaching and learning, from home education to daycare centers and adult education . In view of the intensive discussion of new findings in brain research on the subject of early childhood education , this area plays a special role. Scientific lectures, panel discussions and workshops are accompanied by a cultural framework program in which young people are often involved. The congress for upbringing and education is problem-solving. Often best practice concepts of successful educational projects and institutions are discussed.
