Contextualizing Global Flows of Competency-Based Education
The new comparative research in this volume explores the global flow of competence-based education, curricular policy, and frameworks for instructional practice. Taking critical perspectives, the chapters trace the pathways through which educators and policy actors adopted and reshaped competence-based education as promoted by the OECD, the World Bank, and the European Union. The authors ask: What purposes do competence-based educational reforms serve? How are competence-based models internationally deployed and locally modified? What happens as competence-based reforms get re-contextualized and contested in particular cultural, social, and political contexts? In their nuanced examination of...
Digital Civil Society
Jasmin Fitzpatrick widmet sich aus politikwissenschaftlicher Perspektive zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen und untersucht, wie diese das Potenzial der neuen Kommunikationskanäle des Web 2.0 nutzen. Im Fokus stehen zum einen ihre Mobilisierung von Unterstützern und zum anderen ihre Absicht, durch soziale Medien die Agenda zu besetzen. Im Zentrum der Analyse stehen zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen, die sich mit Menschenrechten und humanitärer Hilfe befassen. Methodisch werden quantitative und qualitative Verfahren kombiniert. Die Autorin zeigt, dass gerade kleinere Organisationen das Potenzial der neuen Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten noch nicht ausschöpfen.
Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung im Englischunterricht
Education for Sustainable Development Frieden, Sicherheit, Gerechtigkeit, ein wirtschaftlich abgesichertes, aber ökologisch verträgliches Leben: Das sind Wünsche, die für heutige wie zukünftige Generationen existenziell sind. Junge Menschen zu befähigen, die Zukunft in diesem Sinne mitzugestalten, ist Aufgabe der Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE). Inwiefern kann neben Biologie, Geografie, Politik oder Wirtschaft auch der Fremdsprachenunterricht dazu beitragen? Lernende auf die Bewältigung ökologischer, ökonomischer, politischer und sozialer Herausforderungen vorzubereiten, ist in sprachlich orientierten Fächern ein neues Bildungsziel. Diesem bisher weitgehend unerforschten...

The Digital Divide
Contrary to optimistic visions of a free internet for all, the problem of the ‘digital divide’ – the disparity between those with access to internet technology and those without – has persisted for close to twenty-five years. In this textbook, Jan van Dijk considers the state of digital inequality and what we can do to tackle it. Through an accessible framework based on empirical research, he explores the motivations and challenges of seeking access and the development of requisite digital skills. He addresses key questions such as: Does digital inequality reduce or reinforce existing, traditional inequalities? Does it create new, previously unknown social inequalities? While digital inequality affects all aspects of society and the problem is here to stay, Van Dijk outlines policies we can put in place to mitigate it. The Digital Divide is required reading for students and scholars of media, communication, sociology, and related disciplines, as well as for policymakers.
