The lecture represent the results of the research project "Bildung between the World, a Transcultural and Socio-epistemological Approach to Pedagogy."
The main goal is to sketch fundamental assumptions and the first transcultural conclusion of the research project.
The lecture explores the fundamental differences and similarities between European and Eastern pedagogy by focusing on historical developments, traditional approaches and future perspectives. Humanistic ideals and philosophical currents strongly influence European pedagogy, while Chinese pedagogy reflects a long history of Confucianism, Daoism and Legalism. Using a comparative genealogical approach, the different educational philosophies and practices, the shared values and practices between Eastern and Western pedagogy, and their impact on students, teachers, and academic institutions are analyzed.

Based on this, the lecture will also look at current challenges and opportunities arising from global trends such as digitalization, internationalization, and the pursuit of excellence. It will explore how a transcultural approach to Eastern and Western pedagogy can be used appropriately to address these challenges.
