Conception (social pedagogy)
A conception ( Latin conceptio from concipere 'to grasp, grasp, grasp, receive') is a comprehensive compilation of the goals and the strategies and measures derived from them for the implementation of a larger and therefore strategically planned project.
The socio-educational concept
In the use of psychological terms, conception is referred to as a "[...] phase of cognitive events during which a conceptual grasp of aspects, properties or relations of objects or facts takes place". “The area of conception therefore includes processes that are described as abstraction, generalization, consideration and comparison. The instrument of the K. is the language, the result are statements (English syn. Concept formation) ”. Thus, conception is viewed as a section of a cognitive event, with its practical and theoretical tools, concepts in the approaches of thinking, comparing, generalizing and abstracting are clarified. Abstraction is the "'[A] drawing' 'of the variety of individual views, ideas and perspectives that peel out the general, necessary and / or essential". If one looks at the conception in this context from a result perspective, the statement as the result of the conception is a concept. The instrument of concepts is language, which means that a concept can be spoken, heard, read and written. A concept is thus a result of the instrument of the process of cognitive conception of concepts with language, which at the same time contains a statement about the concept.
In socio-educational and social work practice, help concepts are basic descriptions of offers of a social-educational institution. Concepts are important processes for clarifying concepts such as target groups and fields of action and the experience of the people and institutions involved in aid planning. The theory and action orientation of social work are the relationships between people and the environment. The term concept in connection with the term help indicates a modern understanding of social work / pedagogy as "help for self-help for people and the environment". Auxiliary concepts also serve as a framework for the design and updating of the concept (as a section of the cognitive approaches at any point in time) for the goals and target groups of social pedagogy. Using the example of the concept as an embodiment of socio-educational / work-related aids, the historical significance, relevance and topicality of the central object of consideration as well as the social significance, relevance and topicality that help send and receive in the form of language as a concept can be summarized. Another word for it could be location determination. In the socio-pedagogical context, a concept can also be understood as a plan or location determination, the first implementation of which is language and which contains statements taking into account temporal and social aspects. In the process of conception, socio-educational help can become a task with the linguistic means of cognition and receive a target group as well as a temporal and spatial dimension of help taking into account the target group characteristics as a conceptuality for the conception. Auxiliary concepts in social pedagogy are thus the results of the conception process, which in turn uses language as a cognitive aid to consider people, the environment and aids in superordinate contexts.
In order to avoid the equivocation of the synonymous use of “conception” and “concept”, initial planning drafts as preliminary stages of conceptions are therefore often not referred to as concepts, but as exposés or the like. As a rule, concepts and their results are put down in writing and they should be checked for relevance and topicality at regular intervals.
