Pedagogical contexts arise in counseling situations, which are based on the principle of "understanding instead of teaching". Counseling includes different situations and problem areas, it requires cooperation to offer a qualified counseling setting the "help for self-help". The basic principle is to arrange the interpersonal relationship in such a way that the personal problem is dealt with at the place where it occurs. Pedagogical action is inconceivable without counseling and help to an action orientation. A basic knowledge with counseling-theoretical and practice-oriented references, starting from personal foundations, is to be developed.
