Prof. Dr. Swen Körner: Police education and training.

Beschreibung

Dr. Swen Körner works at the Deutsche Sporthochschule Köln. His research is geared towards the optimization of police education and training, violence prevention, martial arts studies, systems theory and gamified learning environments. The podcast explores the integration of modern pedagogical theories, such as nonlinear pedagogy and the constraints-led approach, into police training. Dr. Körnerr highlights the importance of reflexivity in evaluating assumptions and outcomes in training practices. He emphasizes the need for a balance between evidence-based and flexible, context-sensitive teaching methods to prepare officers for complex, real-world scenarios. Bridging the gap between science and practice remains central, with calls for open-mindedness, growth-oriented approaches, and enhanced collaboration between trainers and researchers. Dr. Körner’s insights underline the value of historical and international pedagogical perspectives while advocating for autonomy and individuality in learning.
