Pedagogy

The sociologist Janpeter Kob identified pedagogy as a basic pattern of contemporary western societies alongside industrialization and bureaucratization in the 1960s. He understood this to be the general trend towards educational “ care ” in all social institutions . The term, although particularly applicable to the then conspicuously corporatist Federal Republic of Germany , was adopted by Helmut Schelsky , but did not catch on.

In the more recent discussion, the term was taken up again in connection with the education debate and the debate about lifelong learning . Erich Ribolits and Karlheinz A. Geißler should be mentioned as representatives of the position .
