Abstract

The article presents a theoretical framework for understanding technical and personal learning and development as aspects of the same phenomenon »Bildung«. The offset is the concept of »qualified self decision« which will be differentiated in terms of outgoing and ingoing intentionality and placed in a taxonomi of four existential life competencies. It will be argued that the development of full qualified self decision implies a stable organized and balanced existential contact between cognition, psychodynamic, emotionality and action competencies. In the last section of the article the four existential competencies will be related to a concept of self, which integrates
four basic forms of human intentionality. The self, combined with its existential competencies will serve as a theoretical eye-opener for the understanding of how central personality factors in the relationship between teacher and child student influences the child's learning and development. Though the articles main focus is the question of »Bildung« in public schools, it can be generalized to reflections of life competencies necessary for living in late modernity in general.
