Abstract	ABSTRACT This contribution offers a new approach to the investigation of educational processes in development projects. The discussion in the International Knowledge Network for Sustainable Development (IKN-network) has shown that one key factor helping to avoid a failure of technical innovation for projects in developing countries is an integrated qualification of the beneficiaries. To both generate and improve this qualification measure, satisfactory toolkits are needed that can deal with the varied influences impacting qualification projects. The findings were generated by an analysis of a significant number of studies on development policy. The interpretative basis of this analysis was the theoretically grounded concept of culture as a dynamic result of interactions between social actors. In presenting this dynamic concept of culture and applying it as a heuristic toolkit, the author will show how we can arrange the clutter of factors that influence the educational processes in development projects. After a short overview of this new approach, the paper will outline the four main categories that emerge from the application of this approach to the factors influencing educational processes. The purpose of this paper is to first demonstrate how the new theoretical approach of a dynamic concept of culture functions works, and moreover its advantage in organizing existing and additional factors that influence qualification projects. To do so, provisional examples from the application of this heuristic toolkit in a field study on a rural Cuban development project will be discussed. The heuristic toolkit showed great potential to improve integrated qualification measures in technical innovation projects. However, in order to fully establish the new theoretical approach for the improvement of development projects, further research is necessary. (Orig.).
