Digitale Medien sind fester Bestandteil der Lebenswelt von Kindern und der frühpädagogischen Arbeit. Das frühe Erlernen von Medienkompetenzen, die Professionalisierung pädagogischer Fachkräfte und qualitativ hochwertige medienpädagogische Arbeit sind deshalb von zentraler Bedeutung. Dieses Open Access essential zur digitalen Medienbildung bietet wissenschaftlich fundierte Informationen und praktische Anwendungen für den Einsatz von Tablets und Apps mit jungen Kindern. Dabei werden konkrete Ideen sowie spielerische und kindgerechte Praxis-Tipps vermittelt.

Der Band versammelt Beiträge aus der Erziehungswissenschaft, verschiedenen Fachdidaktiken und der Psychologie zu theoretischen und forschungsmethodischen Perspektiven zur Medienbildung, Medienbildung in Schule und Elternhaus sowie medienpädagogischer Professionalisierung im Rahmen der Lehrkräftebildung und in der Arbeitswelt. Als Phänomene werden u. a. Künstliche Intelligenz, Open Educational Practices und Spielfilme aufgegriffen. Es werden sowohl grundlagentheoretische Überlegungen als auch Ergebnisse empirischer Projekte präsentiert. Dabei werden Medienbildungsprozesse in formalen sowie informellen Kontexten fokussiert.

Mit Blick auf den vermehrten Einbezug digitaler Medien in Bildungsprozesse wird die Frage aufgeworfen, inwiefern jene einen Beitrag zu Bildungsteilhabe leisten können. In besonderem Maße betrifft dieses Verhältnis junge geflüchtete Menschen, denen sich durch digitale Medien auf einer niedrigschwelligen Ebene neue Lern- und Bildungschancen eröffnen sollen. Dass sich eine entsprechende Wirkung digitaler Medien entfaltet, ist jedoch keinesfalls umstandslos vorauszusetzen, sondern bedarf einer eingehenden Betrachtung in Hinblick auf Potenziale und Herausforderungen digitalisierter Bildungsarrangements in formalen, nonformalen und informellen Bildungsbereichen.

In his letters 'On the Aesthetic Education of Man', Schiller stated that man is only fully human when he plays. Following on from this, this volume sees children's play as the driving force behind their mental and spiritual development. The contributions introduce the reader to the topic, address the current debate on gaming and explore the game theoretically by combining pedagogical and therapeutic approaches., Dass der Mensch nur da ganz Mensch ist, wo er spielt, hat Schiller in seinen Briefen ‚Über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen‘ festgehalten. Daran anknüpfend versteht dieser Band das kindliche Spiel als Motor der geistigen und seelischen Entwicklung des Kindes. Die Beiträge führen die Lesenden in die Thematik ein, greifen die aktuelle Debatte um Gaming auf und vertiefen das Spiel theoretisch in der Verbindung von pädagogischen und therapeutischen Ansätzen.

In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten ist die Gesundheit von Lehrkräften immer mehr ins Interesse des gesellschaftlichen und wissenschaftlichen Diskurses gerückt. Die bundesweite Onlinestudie, bei der 742 Lehrpersonen im Quer- und 279 Lehrpersonen im Längsschnitt teilgenommen haben, nimmt aus einer salutogenetischen Perspektive die psychische Gesundheit von Lehrkräften in den Blick. Die Ergebnisse zeigen positive Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Gesundheitszustand und der Persönlichkeit sowie insbesondere dem schulischen Klima. Dabei wird auch die zum ersten Erhebungszeitraum vorherrschende COVID-19-Pandemie berücksichtigt.

This open access book addresses methodological issues related to researching young children’s learning and development, teacher education, and professional development. It pays special attention to research conducted in digital contexts in response to the new societal demands of a global pandemic and crisis. It illustrates and discusses new methods and tools, new study designs, new analysis techniques, and new procedures developed in a time of crisis in two different parts of the world, Australia and Norway. The book suggests that, during the global pandemic, a theoretical crisis in researching children’s development in different contexts has emerged, which has not only created the need for new methods and methodologies, but has opened the space for the development of theory itself. Following a cultural-historical perspective, this book theorises these new approaches to create new theoretical concepts and new ways of researching, better understanding, and efficiently supporting childhoods in a continually changing world. This book is a great resource for researchers and students in the fields of early childhood education and educational psychology.

This open access book aims to show how creative ruptions – disturbances or commotions - can lead to the emergence of ethical, care-ful educational futures. Grounded in empirical and theoretical research undertaken from posthuman, decolonial, new materialist and feminist perspectives, this edited volume questions historical and current assumptions as to how education is structured and enacted, and provides examples and tools illustrating how to create and work with creative ruptions. Under the guidance of an experienced editorial team, the authors demonstrate how creative ruptions can respond to various wicked problems through the design and enactment of transformative pedagogies and accompanying research. Including consideration of how we can grow our emotional repertoires from anxiety to include hope and courage, the book explores how creativity might expand the horizons of personal, social and political possibility that take shape within – and ultimately determine – education and its futures. Offering theoretically driven and practically grounded transdisciplinary examples of alternative educational futures, this volume is an ideal reading for those interested in the intersecting fields of Possibilities Studies in Education, Creativity in Education, Educational Futures, Pedagogy, and related disciplines.

What are the practical implications of truly caring about yourself and others, of approaching each day with an open mind, an open heart, and a desire to reduce the suffering of all living beings? Can we learn compassion as a way of life, as an antidote to violence and cruelty? In The Seven Virtues of Highly Compassionate People, social scientists Nancy Guerra and Kirk R. Williams provide easy-to-follow steps to help you understand the what, the why, and the how of compassion. They bring together cutting-edge research, inspiring spiritual teachings, and their own life experiences to help you bring compassion front and center in your life. Not only is compassion good for you and those around you, but it is the key to a more peaceful and just world. “The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

This book operationalises the new field—EmLearning—that integrates embodiment and grounded cognition perspectives with education using the 4E approach as a guiding principle, which suggests that cognition is embodied, embedded, enacted, or extended. Chapters highlight empirical data, providing readers with research-based insight into the theoretical foundations of embodied cognition in learning, illustrated by practical examples. Ultimately, the volume contributes a radical understanding of embodied cognition, demonstrating the importance of the field to the educational system more broadly and suggesting a fundamental change to the way learning, education, and curriculum design are viewed and considered. Based on contemporary scientific findings, the book addresses the educational area with a focus on opening the embodied approach to a wider audience that will circulate the new knowledge and support their educational practices. Written with the purpose of contributing to a broad spectrum of academic educational fields, this book will be of use to postgraduates, researchers, and academics in the fields of higher education, educational psychology, teacher education, and teaching methodology and practice. Teachers and school politicians should also benefit from this volume more broadly.

What effects does starting daycare have on children? Temporary separation from parents is a burden that requires a great deal of adaptation. The factors that contribute to a successful acclimatization and the extent to which educators and peers play a supporting role in this are examined on the basis of an individual case study. Interaction and relationship experiences between children and caregivers are examined. are examined. The starting point is the assumption that the development of the child's ability to regulate affect is an essential prerequisite for the success of settling in. the success of acclimatization to the crèche., Welche Auswirkungen hat der Beginn des Krippenbesuchs für Kinder? Die zeitweilige Trennung von den Eltern bedeutet eine Belastung, die eine hohe Adaptionsleistung erfordert. Welche Faktoren zu einer gelingenden Eingewöhnung beitragen und inwiefern dabei Erzieher*innen und Peers eine unterstützende Funktion haben, wird anhand einer Einzelfallstudie untersucht. Dafür werden Interaktions- und Beziehungserfahrungen zwischen Kindern und Betreuenden beleuchtet. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet dabei die Annahme, dass die Ausbildung der kindlichen Fähigkeit der Affektregulation eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für das Gelingen der Eingewöhnung in die Kinderkrippe darstellt.

Die Frage nach Differenzkonstruktionen ist für einen diversitätsensiblen Unterricht in allen Schulfächern relevant. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes fragen, wie (welche) Differenzen in fachunterrichtlichen Praktiken hergestellt werden. Die Beiträge untersuchen dazu, wie Wissensordnungen im Unterricht ausgehandelt werden: Sie befassen sich dafür mit Unterricht verschiedener Schulfächer wie Englisch, Französisch, Spanisch, Sport, Philosophie, Deutsch und Biologie sowie mit Unterrichtsmaterialien,insbesondere mit Schulbüchern für die Schulfächer Geschichte, Politik und Wirtschaft sowohl an weiterführenden Schulen als auch an Grundschulen. Der Tagungsband ist entstanden im Rahmen des Forschungsverbunds „Differenz(de-)konstruktionen in fachunterrichtlichen Kontexten“ des Schlözer Programm Lehrer*innenbildung der Universität Göttingen.; The question of how differences are constructed is relevant for diversity-sensitive teaching in all school subjects. The contributions in this volume ask how (which) differences are created in subject teaching practices. The contributions in this conference volume examine how orders of knowledge are negotiated in the classroom.

Teachers worldwide experience significant stress and burnout, impacting their health and the education systems. Recognizing the importance of social, prosocial, and emotional skills in education adds to this complexity. The European Policy Experimentation Project Teaching to Be (2021-2024) in Austria, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain, aimed to improve teacher wellbeing through innovative professional development. A digital game-based Online Wellbeing Course and a Teacher’s Handbook were developed in the project to enhance various aspects of teachers‘ professional wellbeing and organizational health. Using a mixed-methods research approach, it evaluated digital interventions on wellbeing, leading to tailored policy recommendations for enhancing teacher professional development and mental health.

Ausgehend von der Annahme, dass die Qualität pädagogischer Beziehungen und eine gelingende institutionelle Alltagsgestaltung mit dem Erleben von Resonanzmomenten in Verbindung stehen, verfolgt der vorliegende Sammelband das Ziel, resonanztheoretische Zugänge in ihrer Bedeutung für das Feld der frühkindlichen Bildung zu erschließen. Theoretische Beiträge verknüpfen die Resonanzperspektive zunächst mit kindheits-, inklusions- und sozialpädagogischen Theoriediskursen. In praxisbezogenen Beiträgen werden resonanzbezogene Fragestellungen sodann im Hinblick auf institutionelle Praktiken und Beziehungsgefüge analysiert. Resonanzpädagogische Implikationen für die Gestaltung des politischen Handlungsfeldes werden schließlich mit Blick auf die Zeit- und Inklusionspolitik sowie auf die Zivilgesellschaft formuliert. Der Band schließt mit Reflexionen zum Resonanzbegriff und weiteren Forschungsbedarfen.; Based on the assumption that the quality of pedagogical relationships and the successful organisation of everyday institutional life are linked to the experience of moments of resonance, the aim of this anthology is to explore the significance of resonance theory approaches for the field of early childhood education.

Seit 2015 wurden mehr als einhunderttausend Minderjährige, die ohne eine verantwortliche Bezugsperson nach Deutschland geflüchtet sind, durch die Kinder- und Jugendhilfe aufgenommen und versorgt. Vor welchen Herausforderungen stehen Hilfseinrichtungen und deren Mitarbeitende, welche Strategien entwickeln sie und auf welches Wissen greifen sie zurück, wenn bereits die Bezeichnung »unbegleitete minderjährige Flüchtlinge« voller ethischer und normativer Widersprüche steckt?

Der Band greift den Trend zur Etablierung vielfältiger Patenschafts- und Mentoringprojekte in Deutschland auf, der sich vor allem im Bildungsbereich und in der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe beobachten lässt. Die Patenschafts- und Mentoringprojekte stehen für eine (neue) Form bürgerschaftlichen bzw. freiwilligen Engagements, was Fragen nach ihrer gesellschaftlichen und individuellen Bedeutung, ihren Wirkungen, ihrer Koordinierung sowie besonderen Herausforderungen aufwirft. Der Band lässt sich nicht einer der Disziplinen zuordnen, sondern enthält Schnittmengen zur Erziehungswissenschaft, zur Soziologie und zur Sozialen Arbeit. Er regt die wissenschaftliche Debatte um Patenschaften und Mentoring an und befördert zugleich die praktische Weiterentwicklung von Projekten und Ansätzen.

This open access book explores democratic schools and learning environments globally. The book focuses on a newly developed framework for democratic education. The authors describe existing schools and concept schools—those that are ideas but not in operation. The first section includes the editors’ own journeys Pillar One includes schools that emphasize the open flow of ideas and choices, regardless of their popularity. Pillar 2 maintains that it is impossible to have a high quality education that ignores equity. Chapters explore how many diverse ‘marginalized’ communities experience education and some innovations that hold great promise for inclusion. Pillar 3 provides examples of schools where active engagement, consensus and compromise support the ‘common good.’ Pillar 4 investigates schools which organize students, parents, social institutions and the larger community collaboratively to achieve its goals and to solve theirs and society’s most urgent challenges.

Die Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit ist besonders aufmerksam für das Scheitern: Entweder präventiv oder als direkte Intervention ist sozialarbeiterisches Handeln auf die Bewältigung von Krisen und Problemlagen ausgerichtet. In der Forschung fällt die Soziale Arbeit im Vergleich zu anderen Fächern durch geringe Promotionsintensität und Einwerbung von Forschungsmitteln auf. Im Rahmen dieses Buches wird daher der Frage nachgegangen, wie die Kompetenzen im Umgang mit Krisen und Scheitern in der Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit auch für die Wissenschaft der Sozialen Arbeit nutzbar gemacht werden können.

Die Profession Soziale Arbeit verortet sich seit jeher eng an der Schnittstelle von Individuum und Gesellschaft. Sie nimmt sowohl die oftmals erschwerten Lebensbedingungen verschiedener Menschen als auch gesamtgesellschaftliche (teilhabebehindernde) Prozesse in den Blick. Der Sammelband stellt explizit Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene in prekären Lebenslagen in den Mittelpunkt, indem in verschiedenen Beiträgen diese Zielgruppe in unterschiedlichen Lebenssituationen in ihrer theoretischen und praktischen Bedeutung für verschiedene Handlungsfelder der Sozialen Arbeit beleuchtet wird.

This volume presents a novel, theoretical, micro-analytical model – the 3A Methodology – for assessing the quality of school education. Drawing on philosophers as well as theoretical and pedagogical traditions from European and American contexts, the authors construct a model that is relevant to teachers, researchers, and teacher educators regardless of cultural setting. The chapters explain the 3A Methodology as a specific research tool developed to study classroom situations in the form of case studies, revealing findings that demonstrate prototypical failures (didactic formalism) that threaten to compromise the quality of learning as well as prototypical didactic virtues that verifiably support students’ learning. Ultimately building on the distinction of three modes of existence of educational content (the intersubjective, the subjective, and the objective modes), the book helps rediscover didactics as a transdisciplinary theory of content transformation and contributes to the improvement of teaching and learning in the classroom long term. This volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students working in school education, educational psychology, and didactics more broadly. Teacher educators and school administrators may also find the book of interest.

Application of scientific findings to effective practice and informed policymaking is an aspiration for much research in the biomedical, behavioural, and developmental sciences. But too often translations of science to practice are conceptually narrow, ethically underspecified, and developed quickly as salves to an urgent problem. For developmental science, widely implemented parenting interventions are prime examples of technical translations from knowledge about the causes of children’s mental distress. Aiming to support family relationships and facilitate adaptive child development, these programmes are rushed through when the scientific findings on which they are based remain contested and without ethical grounding of their aims. In Matters of Significance, Marinus van IJzendoorn and Marian Bakermans-Kranenburg draw on 40 years of experience with theoretical, empirical, meta-analytic, and translational work in child development research to highlight the complex relations between replication, translation, and academic freedom. They argue that challenging fake facts promulgated by under-replicated and under-powered studies is a critical type of translation beyond technical applications. Such challenges can, in the highlighted field of attachment and emotion regulation research, bust popular myths about the decisive role of genes, hormones, or the brain on parenting and child development, with a balancing impact for practice and policymaking. The authors argue that academic freedom from interference by pressure groups, stakeholders, funders, or university administrators in the core stages of research is a necessary but besieged condition for adversarial research and myth busting. Praise for Matters of Significance ‘This thoughtful volume is an accessible overview of the authors’ field-shaping collaborative research on attachment and an indispensable primer on differentiating between sense and nonsense in the service of producing cumulative developmental science and ethically translating its core insights.’ Glenn I. Roisman, University of Minnesota ‘The truly original arguments presented in Matters of Significance go beyond attachment, as they concern the nature of developmental science and its relation to ethical, cultural, legal, and political issues.’ Jay Belsky, University of California, Davis

This edited collection investigates, from a sociological perspective, what it means to create an autonomous individual through a novel exploration of three central fields of sociology: education, mental health care, and parenting. By linking these three aspects through their contribution to the building of an autonomous child, the volume analyses the intersecting roles of parent, teacher, and caregiver as well as the transformations in identities of child, pupil, and patient to understand the construction and repair of autonomy. Using a comparison of various case studies across Scandinavian, English-speaking, and French-speaking countries, chapters explore why personal autonomy is so important in many societies and demonstrate the conceptual and practical challenges the idea brings. Ultimately, the book provides an innovative contribution to the fields of educational sociology and the philosophy of education, as well as parenting studies and the sociology of mental health by making the case for taking autonomy, and its paradoxes, seriously. This cross-disciplinary volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students working in sociology and the philosophy of education, parenting, mental health, and child development more broadly. Those with a focus on the study of individualistic societies will also find the volume of use.

Using illustrative teaching case studies, this book demonstrates how teaching informed by a learning theory, specifically Variation theory, can equip teachers to facilitate possibilities for students’ learning in effective and powerful ways. For a long period of time teaching has been “black-boxed”, in favour of other explanations of why students learn or not, such as motivation and social interaction. A large amount of research on teaching and learning, not the least made using Variation theory, has shown that students often need to experience the same aspects of the focused content or capability in order to learn, indicating that relationships between teaching and learning are not unique or even qualitatively different for every individual and every situation. This perspective on the relationship between teaching and learning emphasizes content-specific aspects and in that sense structural components of teaching, while other aspects of schooling such as social interaction and general well-being recede into the background. The authors argue for the importance of this in the direct development of teachers' independent collective professional knowledge about teaching, and the leverage this gives for developing student learning. They introduce theoretical tools to help teachers to increase the probability that teaching focusing a specific content or capability is predictive of students learning of that specific content or capability, while decreasing contextual dependency without assuming that teaching and learning have a one-to-one relationship. Intended for teachers, graduate students in education, teacher educators, student teachers, and researchers, this book shows that while there is no simple equation between teaching and learning, there are general, though content specific, aspects of teaching that can be systematically planned and analyzed and used to improve the quality of student learning.

Basierend auf empirischem Material zur Thematisierung von Kindeswohl(-gefährdung) als Schlüsselkategorie für die Initiierung von Leistungen und Maßnahmen nimmt Nina Kläsener in den Blick, wie die öffentliche Kinder- und Jugendhilfe ihre personenbezogene Arbeit prozessiert und wie auf dieser Basis weitreichende Entscheidungen organisiert werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden technologische und normative Ordnungen herausgearbeitet, in denen Entscheidungen nicht nur zum ›Ort der Macht‹ werden, sondern zugleich organisational eine adressierte Passungsarbeit aufrufen, die durch milieuorientierte und vergeschlechtlichte Sorgeanrufungen hergestellt wird.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions that came with it led to unprecedented disruptions in learner development and put them at risk of poor developmental outcomes. It is thus important that the extent of the disruption on their development and the support needs of learners be investigated. Researching the impact of the disruption should focus on holistic development. In this book, the authors use multiple research approaches and methods of gathering data in their respective fields to examine the impact of the disruption and determine the support needs of learners. Data gathered through the different methods are processed and findings are presented. The findings have implications for both practice and future research in the fields of inclusive education, learner support, educational psychology, movement education, Life Orientation and curriculum development.

The Six Bricks® initiative is a teaching and learning method that encourages focused engagement in the classroom by all learners, from the foundation phase to adulthood. By using six simple, colourful DUPLO® bricks, an element of play is introduced into a situation that inevitably leads to all individuals focusing and interacting. This is one of the major contributions to all teaching and learning disciplines and promotes the audience to learn with enjoyment, enthusiasm and concentration. Along with this, communication is promoted, sparking unimaginable creativity and creation. This book provides the reader with an alternative focus to the original educational application of the Six Bricks® activities. This Six Bricks® initiative focuses on the therapeutic application and processes in communities, schools and within individuals themselves. As each author has had an intimate connection with Six Bricks® initiative, they are all more than qualified to provide their autoethnographic reflections on this initiative, which holds so much promise and excitement for learning and teaching. Therefore, each author’s contributions were original and personalised, providing a new field in the avenues of research in the South African context, as South Africa does not have – as yet – much research on this topic. The methodology used in this qualitative research study was primarily from each author’s perspective; thus, their self-reflection and anecdotal personal experiences form the core of these chapters. Therefore, this autoethnographic is a self-reflective form of writing which involves self-observation and reflective investigation in the context of ethnographic fieldwork and writing.

In der internationalen Fachdebatte zu stationären Erziehungshilfen wird die kinderrechtliche wie pädagogische Notwendigkeit betont, dass die dort heranwachsenden jungen Menschen stärker an allen sie betreffenden Entscheidungen partizipieren sollen. Studien zeigen aber, dass in der institutionalisierten Praxis vielfältige Limitierungen der Partizipationsmöglichkeiten weiter prägend sind. Der Band führt den Forschungs- und Diskussionsstand zur Schweiz zusammen und ergänzt diesen mit Perspektiven von Careleavern, Aufsichtsbehörden, Verbänden und Einrichtungen. Dem sind Beiträge aus Deutschland, Österreich und Italien (Südtirol) zur Seite gestellt, die vergleichende Zugänge eröffnen.

Grundsätzliche Themen und aktuelle Fragen der Heimerziehung und des Lebens und der Entwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Formen der Heimerziehung werden aus einer sozialpädagogischen Perspektive betrachtet. Was macht das besondere Profil eines sozialpädagogischen Blickes auf Heimerziehung aus? Welche Impulse lassen sich daraus für eine Weiterentwicklung der Praxis und Forschung zur Heimerziehung gewinnen? In 23 Beiträgen werden von 28 Autor:innen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz theoretische Zugänge und Untersuchungen mit interessanten empirischen Befunden zu verschiedenen Facetten der aktuellen Diskussionen um die stationäre Kinder- und Jugendhilfe vorgestellt.

Der Diskurs um Prostitution geht für Soziale Arbeit als sozialstaatliche Unterstützungsinstanz mit normativen Implikationen einher. Ausgehend davon stehen im Mittelpunkt der Ethnographie von Rebecca Mörgen Besuche aufsuchender Sozialer Arbeit in der Arbeitsumgebung von Sexarbeiter*innen. Die Studie analysiert, wie Arbeits- und Beratungsbeziehungen im Kontext Prostitution in ihren sozialen, räumlichen und materiellen Bedingtheiten hergestellt und gestaltet werden. Die Etablierungsprozesse der Arbeitsbeziehungen werden als körperleibliches Vollzugsgeschehen rekonstruiert.

Die Niederländerin Cora Baltussen (1912–2005) war in den 1960er Jahren eine wichtige Pionierin für die Supervision im katholischen Milieu der Bundesrepublik. Sie lehrte an der Akademie für Jugendfragen in Münster. Anhand ihres Lebensverlaufs untersucht diese Arbeit ideengeschichtlich und transnational aus der Akteursperspektive, wie sich die Supervision bis etwa 1970 entwickelte. Besondere Berücksichtigung findet dabei erstmalig der katholische Kontext mit seinem theologischen und anthropologischen Einfluss auf das Supervisionsverständnis. Ferner werden Bezüge zu sozialen Bewegungen hergestellt.

Das Buch stellt Maßnahmen zur Engagementförderung in Organisationen und Kommunen vor. Sie basieren auf einer empirischen Studie zu Konflikten zwischen bürgerschaftlich Engagierten. Im Zentrum steht ein Verfahren, den oft unbewussten Eigensinn von Engagierten zu verstehen und mit ihnen Tätigkeiten auszuwählen, die diesem Eigensinn entsprechen und konfliktfrei ausgeübt werden können. Dies ist wichtig, da bürgerschaftliches Engagement nur anhaltend Zufriedenheit stiften und gemeinnützige Wirkung entfalten kann, wenn es dem Eigensinn von Engagierten entspricht.

Das Thema Solidarität hat in den letzten Jahren viel Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Die Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes greifen in ganz unterschiedlicher Weise auf Material eines dreijährigen Forschungsprojektes zurück, welches sich mit der Frage von Solidarität im Bereich der politischen Interessenvertretung verbandlicher Selbstorganisationen junger Menschen und den Strukturen des Jugendverbandssystems beschäftigt hat. Anhand der Beiträge lässt sich nachvollziehen, auf welche Weise Solidarität und Zugehörigkeit, Teilhabe und Ausschluss sowie Demokratie, Grenzen der Berechtigung und Gleichheit miteinander verbunden sind.

Ökosoziale Transformation ist in aller Munde, aber wie können Praktiker*innen im sozialen Bereich auf eine gerechte und inklusive Weise dazu beitragen? Die in diesem Sammelband vorgestellten Beiträge legen nahe, dass Räume, Praktiken und Didaktiken der Transformation dekolonisiert werden müssen, um den gegenwärtigen Status quo in Richtung einer gerechten und regenerativen planetarischen Zukunft zu verändern. Die hier versammelten Stimmen aus der Praxis zeigen, zeigen, dass dies möglich ist und leisten bereits jetzt in der Praxis dekolonisierende Transformationsarbeit. Wir bringen Praktiker*innen zusammen, die das vielfältige Spektrum sozialer Positionierungen widerspiegeln: – Schwarze, People of Color, Migrant*innen und weiß, queer und cisgender, älter und jünger, bildungsprivilegiert und von Klassismus betroffen. Gemeinsam präsentieren sie eine Vielzahl globaler Stimmen und Ansichten darüber, wie dekolonisierende Ansätze zur ökosozialen Transformation in einem vielfältigen Europa heute aussehen. Die Autor*innen dieses Buches laden deshalb auf eine Reise ein zu Zugängen und Praktiken, die die Grundlagen schaffen, um innere und äußere Transformation für eine gerechte Welt zu ermöglichen. Der Sammelband richtet sich an Praktiker*innen, Fachkräfte und Studierende im sozialen und pädagogischen Bereich und an Menschen in Deutschland, die sich selbst als migrantisch, BIPoC, FLINTA* oder queer positionieren und ihre Verbündeten sind, um gemeinsam antirassistische, diversitätskritische und post-humanistische Zugänge in den Praktiken der ökosozialen Transformation Realität werden zu lassen.

During the international coronavirus lockdowns of 2020–2021, millions of children, youth, and adults found their usual play areas out of bounds and their friends out of reach. How did the pandemic restrict everyday play and how did the pandemic offer new spaces and new content? This unique collection of essays documents the ways in which communities around the world harnessed play within the limiting frame of Covid-19. Folklorists Anna Beresin and Julia Bishop adopt a multidisciplinary approach to this phenomenon, bringing together the insights of a geographically and demographically diverse range of scholars, practitioners, and community activists. The book begins with a focus on social and physical landscapes before moving onto more intimate portraits of play among the old and young, including coronavirus-themed games and novel toy inventions. Finally, the co-authors explore the creative shifts observed in frames of play, ranging from Zoom screens to street walls. This singular chronicle of coronavirus play will be of interest to researchers and students of developmental psychology, childhood studies, education, playwork, sociology, anthropology and folklore, as well as to toy, museum, and landscape designers. This book will also be of help to parents, professional organizations, educators, and urban planners, with a postscript of concrete suggestions advocating for the essential role of play in a post-pandemic world.

Advancing Natural Language Processing in Educational Assessment examines the use of natural language technology in educational testing, measurement, and assessment. Recent developments in natural language processing (NLP) have enabled large-scale educational applications, though scholars and professionals may lack a shared understanding of the strengths and limitations of NLP in assessment as well as the challenges that testing organizations face in implementation. This first-of-its-kind book provides evidence-based practices for the use of NLP-based approaches to automated text and speech scoring, language proficiency assessment, technology-assisted item generation, gamification, learner feedback, and beyond. Spanning historical context, validity and fairness issues, emerging technologies, and implications for feedback and personalization, these chapters represent the most robust treatment yet about NLP for education measurement researchers, psychometricians, testing professionals, and policymakers.

Which practices and dynamics can be identified in the interaction between teachers and students? How is the interactional order of teaching established and maintained? What insights can the documentary method and depth hermeneutics provide and what added value does method triangulation offer? The study investigates the interaction in a 3rd grade of lower secondary school over a survey period of two school years., Welche Handlungspraktiken und Dynamiken lassen sich in der Interaktion zwischen Lehrer*innen und Schüler*innen feststellen? Wie wird die Interaktionsordnung des Unterrichts hergestellt und aufrechterhalten? Welche Erkenntnisse können die Dokumentarische Methode und Tiefenhermeneutik darüber liefern und welchen Mehrwert bietet eine Methodentriangulation? Die Studie untersucht die Interaktion in einer 3. Klasse der Sekundarstufe I über einen Erhebungszeitraum von zwei Schuljahren.

This open access book seeks to create a forum for discussing key questions regarding theories on teaching: Which theories of teaching do we have? What are their attributes? What do they contain? How are they generated? How context-sensitive and content-specific do they need to be? Is it possible or even desirable to develop a comprehensive theory of teaching? The book identifies areas of convergence and divergence among the answers to these questions by prominent international scholars in research on teaching. Initiating exchanges among the authors, it then evaluates whether consensus can be reached on the areas of divergence. The book concludes by discussing lessons learned from this endeavor and outlines steps that need to be taken for advancing future work on theorizing teaching. As such, the book is aimed at readers interested in an overview of the theorizing of teaching and key open questions that, if addressed, help to move the field forward.

Pedagogical work requires the willingness to engage with new situations and with people in their diversity. This book does not offer any simple recipes, but a gentle approach to important steps towards professionalisation in the teaching profession. These lead via an open attitude of perception and the inclusion of corporeality to an insight into how learning and teaching processes can be understood in a new or different way. With vignettes and examples from different pedagogical fields, the theoretical concepts are presented and reflected on their application. The book contains a German-language and an English-language version., Pädagogische Arbeit erfordert die Bereitschaft, sich auf immer neue Situationen und auf Menschen in ihrer Verschiedenheit einzulassen. Dieses Buch bietet dafür keine simplen Rezepte an, wohl aber wichtige Schritte zur Professionalisierung im pädagogischen Beruf. Diese führen über eine offene Haltung der Wahrnehmung und die Einbeziehung von Leiblichkeit hin zur Einsicht, wie Lern- und Lehrprozesse neu oder anders verstanden werden können. Mit Vignetten und Beispielen werden Konzepte dargelegt und auf ihre Anwendung hin reflektiert. Das Buch enthält den Text in einer deutschsprachigen und in einer englischsprachigen Version.

The history of public education in Haiti has been characterized by an idealistic notion of extending the enlightenment of education throughout the country. This notion is reflected in the establishment of an important legal arsenal which, since the 19th century, has defined three main principles of the Haitian school system. These three principles have been a constant throughout the history of the country. They were intended to promote the expansion and democratization of schools in Haiti. Overshadowed by academic liberalism, the principles of free and compulsory education remain, however, merely an illusion for the majority of the country's children. Despite pompous speeches from its political leaders, Haiti has failed to catch up with the expansion and democratization of schools. Its educational system faces many challenges, including the problem of access to school, the lack of physical infrastructure and the shortage of qualified teaching staff. These challenges have extended the exclusion and inequality which stem from the contempt of the Haitian elites for the education of the people, in particular those in the countryside, and in an economic model based on food, not industry.

The deaf and hard-of-hearing sometimes experience constraints that differ from those of hearing people; plus, when this physiological state (deafness) coincides with other disorders, learning to write becomes exceptionally difficult. The main interest of this chapter includes the strategies that hard-of-hearing and deaf (non-hearing) children devise to learn to write and how they use writing in the development of knowledge in the Haitian context. It is a matter of understanding how these children manage to learn to read and write, and of analyzing impacts of judgements on their school performances. As deafness, seen in particular from the angle of sensorimotor disorder is described as phenomenon that impose social specific limitations on children, this chapter is to study the impacts of pedagogical practices on the learning process of written language. The deafness as a characteristic of a community of people that are culturally and linguistically different community, is notably studied.

This chapter deals with the sensorimotor predominance in connection with hindrances to the learning of reading and writing in a group of 120 left-handed pupils, aged 9 to 20, educated in ten schools located in the western and southern departments of Haiti. Manual, visual and auditory preference is studied in relation to linguistic performance in left-handed students, sometimes ignored but often forced to favor the side which hemispherical development has not made naturally dominant. Poor performance was certainly observed, but it is not directly linked to these students’ left-handedness. It is preponderantly the consequence of asymmetries contrary to the cerebral hemisphere, of a somewhat underhand attempt at 'dyslateralization', due to the failure of an educational system characterized by shortcomings and prejudices built around the phenomenon of laterality and problems emanating from unsuitable educational and linguistic practices. This creates constraints that prevent these students from thriving. Because the teaching strategies, methods and the school environment are designed and adapted to benefit right-handed students, left-handed people have a disability.

It is a well-known fact that the Haitian education system is marked by school segregation as a corollary of social segregation (Joint, 2008; Tardieu 2017; Abraham, 2019). This system of educational apartheid maintains the structural exclusion of disadvantaged and vulnerable children from quality education. In other words, it maintains the learning gap between children from urban and rural areas; between learners from upscale neighborhoods and those from slums; between those of 'well-educated' parents and those of uneducated and impoverished parents. But what about children with disabilities? What kind of reception or educational relationship is provided in the education system for children with physical disabilities or learning disabilities? The results of this research mainly revolve around four key notions, namely: social representations, the social model of disability, pedagogical relations and cognitive justice. They highlight the weight of the social representations of people with disabilities on the forms of educational relationships built and practiced at school. While expectations are high in terms of human resources and adapted teaching materials, this study reveals that all public education policies guided by the principles of inclusion and cognitive justice must act upstream on the underlying thought patterns. These constitute deep obstacles to the intellectual and social emancipation of children with disabilities.

This Open Access book presents the results of an interdisciplinary research program to utilize data from the multicohort German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), which included over 100.000 participants in six nationally representative panel studies. Renowned researchers from the fields of sociology, psychology, educational science, economics, and survey methodology have used the (longitudinal) data for their substantive and/or methodological questions and present important results of their research projects. This edited volume contains contributions from the following four topics: (1) Competence Development: Individual Characteristics, Learning Environments, and other Contextual Factors, (2) Educational Transitions and Pathways: Influencing Factors and Outcomes, (3) Vocational Training and Labour Market, and (4) Individuals with Migration Background. It provides essential insights for researchers, postdocs, PhD students, and university students of different scientific disciplines interested in educational sciences as well as for policy makers who have to deal with educational problems in modern societies.

Pedagogical work requires the willingness to engage with new situations and with people in their diversity. This book does not offer any simple recipes, but a gentle approach to important steps towards professionalisation in the teaching profession. These lead via an open attitude of perception and the inclusion of corporeality to an insight into how learning and teaching processes can be understood in a new or different way. With vignettes and examples from different pedagogical fields, the theoretical concepts are presented and reflected on their application. The book contains an English-language and a Greek-language version.

This revised and expanded edition of Susan Isaacs: A Life Freeing the Minds of Children by Philip Graham, provides a comprehensive biography of a highly influential educationist and psychoanalyst. The book covers Isaacs’ childhood through to the end of her life, making it of great interest to historians of British education and of psychoanalysis as well as to practicing early years teachers and psychoanalysts. Graham describes the origins of the theories behind Isaacs’ work while also placing her contribution into context with other contemporary educationists. He draws on a range of sources including her own published and unpublished papers, multiple archives and intimate letters. Such wealth of information and anecdotes gives an insight into her childhood, marriage, and career creating a deeper understanding of both Isaacs’ personal life and her achievements. As only the second biography on Isaacs, this book is a valuable resource that shines a light on the life of a figure who has often been neglected in this field of study. It provides a shift away from the various male-dominated accounts currently prevalent within this area of research. Susan Isaacs is crucial reading to raise our awareness and appreciation of the person behind the work, while also highlighting and celebrating the impact she has made on today’s education and psychoanalytic practice.

Dieses Buch bietet dafür keine simplen Rezepte an, wohl aber wichtige Schritte zur Professionalisierung im pädagogischen Beruf. Diese führen über eine offene Haltung der Wahrnehmung und die Einbeziehung von Leiblichkeit hin zur Einsicht, wie Lern- und Lehrprozesse neu oder anders verstanden werden können. Mit Vignetten und Beispielen werden Konzepte dargelegt und auf ihre Anwendung hin reflektiert

This volume presents a novel, theoretical, micro-analytical model – the 3A Methodology – for assessing the quality of school education. Drawing on philosophers as well as theoretical and pedagogical traditions from European and American contexts, the authors construct a model that is relevant to teachers, researchers, and teacher educators regardless of cultural setting. The chapters explain the 3A Methodology as a specific research tool developed to study classroom situations in the form of case studies, revealing findings that demonstrate prototypical failures (didactic formalism) that threaten to compromise the quality of learning as well as prototypical didactic virtues that verifiably support students’ learning. Ultimately building on the distinction of three modes of existence of educational content (the intersubjective, the subjective, and the objective modes), the book helps rediscover didactics as a transdisciplinary theory of content transformation and contributes to the improvement of teaching and learning in the classroom long term. This volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and postgraduate students working in school education, educational psychology, and didactics more broadly. Teacher educators and school administrators may also find the book of interest.

Qualitative Kriminologie: Was zeichnet sie aus? Wie ist es aktuell im deutschsprachigen Raum um sie bestellt? Mit welchen Herausforderungen ist qualitative Forschung in kriminologischen Feldern konfrontiert? Der Sammelband unternimmt einen ersten Ordnungsversuch dieses unübersichtlichen Feldes und sensibilisiert dabei insbesondere für Herausforderungen einer qualitativen Kriminologie. Dabei werden forschungspraktische Aspekte genauso diskutiert wie Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Generalisierbarkeit oder die Rolle der gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen und der eigenen Standortgebundenheit im Forschungsprozess.

Der Sammelband fokussiert Veränderungen in Pädagogik und Sozialer Arbeit durch Digitalität im Bereich theoretischer Grundlagen, didaktischer Prinzipien, Methoden und Eigenlogiken der Arbeitsfelder. Schwerpunkte sind Potentiale und Limitierungen von Bildung, Hilfe und Lernen angesichts digitaler Infrastrukturen, Mediatisierung von Lebenswelten, methodisch-didaktische Anforderungen digitaler Bildungs-, Hilfs- und Lernwelten, Sensorierung und Datafizierung als Teile von sowie Herausforderungen für Pädagogik und Soziale Arbeit und Implikationen von Kontrolle und Überwachung durch Dritte.
