Sensitive Threshold : Awakening Aspects of the Corporeal-Auditive Reflexivity of Teenagers in the Classroom

• This article refers to humanistic European pedagogy and didactics as an explicit normative framework for the modelling of classroom education. In continuation of this approach and at the same time as a critique of its normativity, it will be argued that many relevant aspects of the knowledge that is decisive for our acting, intuitions, preferences, and decisions defy articulation. As tacit dimensions they influence the questions we ask, successful or failed learning processes, and precarious or promising personality development. Bodily phenomenological research explores these dimensions.Making use of an example of art-based didactics, which follows the idea of phenomenological research in education, the question is raised as to how corporeality forms an integral moment of learning processes. Especially of interest is the reflexivity created in a specific art-based project space in terms of distinct learning effects. The project space is constituted by the interactive sound installation Sensitive Threshold that the author developed as a means of learning, didactics, and art-based research for exploring the corporeal, auditive, and artistic modes of learning and reflexivity. The concept of Sensitive Threshold was influenced by the work of the author as a teacher at the Free Comenius School Darmstadt (grades 1-9) in 2003. This free school applies humanist pedagogy and didactics in the tradition of John Amos Comenius.
