Eine Aufgabe der Schule der Migrationsgesellschaft ist es, allen Schülerinnen und Schülern eine gleichberechtigte Teilhabe am gemeinsamen Lernen zu ermöglichen. Mit Blick auf die sprachliche Vielfalt der Schülerinnen und Schüler ist die sprachbildende Gestaltung des Unterrichts hierfür eine wichtige Bedingung. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Buchs stehen das Lernen und Lehren vor, im und nach dem Sachunterricht der Grundschule. Dieser bietet aufgrund seiner Vielperspektivität zahlreiche Anknüpfungspunkte für Sprachbildung im Kontext von Mehrsprachigkeit, auch an den Übergängen vom Elementarbereich in die Grundschule und von dort in die Sekundarstufe. Im Kontext von Sprachbildung werden der vorschulische Bereich, der Sachunterricht und die sachunterrichtsbezogenen Fächer der weiterführenden Schulen sowie Aspekte der LehrerInnenbildung und weitere aktuelle Herausforderungsbereiche beleuchtet.
This Element aims to elucidate the concept of language teacher agency by exploring the 'what' question, offering major conceptualisations of agency and explaining how they shape the way we approach teacher agency. The authors then continue with the 'why' question, and elaborate on the reasons that language teacher agency matters, based on a discussion of the varied purposes of teacher agency at multiple levels. They also acknowledge that teacher agency does not operate alone, and discuss how it intersects with such concepts as teacher identity, emotion, belief and knowledge. Based on this, they identify ways to promote teacher agency through making changes to contexts and/or actors. They then introduce the concept of collective agency and propose a multi-layered model based on an illustrative study. The Element ends with a call for a trans-perspective on understanding language teacher agency so as to facilitate the professional development of language teachers.

Defenders of this claim argue that religion cannot be understood from the outside: it is impossible to impart religious understanding unless one is also prepared to impart religious belief. Michael Hand argues for two central points: first, that non-confessional religious education would indeed be impossible if it were true that religion constitutes a distinct form of knowledge; and, second, that religion does not in fact constitute a distinct form of knowledge.
This volume brings together a selection of papers presented at the Fifteenth Session of the International Seminar on Religious Education and Values (ISREV), which took place in 2006 in Driebergen, the Netherlands, addressing the theme ‘Religious Education in a World of Religious Diversity’. The authors were invited to combine the concept of diversity with the dimensions of temporality, of time and history in reworking their contributions for this book. This temporal aspect is in a sense inherent in educational thinking. On the one hand education as intergenerational transmission has a conservative aspect: tradition being what is actually and presently transmitted from the past and/or wha...
