Pädagogische Autonomie in der internationalen Diskussion
[The Autonomy of Education in the International Discussion]
The «autonomy of education» has been a constituent topos of German-language education science since the development of the field of education as one of the humanities. Not least upon the background of the internationalization of education science discussion the question arises as to the extent to which this concept is specifically German, or whether it can be referenced also in other cultures and languages. Relevant theses by Daniel Tröhler were sent to education scientists in Spain, Italy, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland for comment.
