The workshop is dealing with the question of how effective learning environments should be designed in out-of-school settings. One aspect that has to be taken into account in this respect is how the learning atmosphere should be constructed to foster learning processes in general. In this workshop we will discuss three general pedagocial/psychological theories of effective learning which are useful to create a positive learning atmosphere: the theory of effective teaching (based on the work of Ekhard Klieme), the theory of acknowledgement (based on the work of Hans Rudi Leu), and the motivation theory (base on the work of Deci & Ryan). In the first (theoretical) part of the workshop the three theories will be presented, in the second (practical) part we will discuss and develop ideas how these three theories can be applied to designing effective learning contexts. The participants will learn – for example – how to start a workshop effectively, how to close it, or which tools they can use to create a positive working and learning atmosphere.

The workshop will be held in hybrid format.
