Idea of patterns
 In complex domains, such as motivational & affective
aspects it is difficult to come up with cookbook recipes
 Pattern-based approaches have proven useful in similar
areas, ranging from architecture via software
engineering („design patterns“) to educational patterns

Why patterns?
 Patterns provide a structured description of
experiential knowledge on good practices, making
explicit the context of the experiences
 Patterns are especially useful for newcomers to a
domain to gain access to experiential knowledge
 Patterns can evolve into a domain language

Example:
Pattern Nr. 112 “Entrance transition”
 Problem: The experience of entering a building
influences the way you feel inside the building.
If the transition is too abrupt there is no feeling
of arrival, and the inside of the building fails to
be an sanctum.
 Solution: Make a transition space between the
street and the front door. Bring the path which
connects street and entrance through this
transition space, and mark it with a change of
light, of sound, of direction, a change of
surface, of level, perhaps by gateways which
make a change of enclosure, and above all with
a change of view.
 Pictures of good practice examples
