Large-Scale Cognitive Assessment
This open access methodological book summarises existing analysing techniques using data from PIAAC, a study initiated by the OECD that assesses key cognitive and occupational skills of the adult population in more than 40 countries. The approximately 65 PIAAC datasets that has been published worldwide to date has been widely received and used by an interdisciplinary research community. Due to the complex structure of the data, analyses with PIAAC datasets are very challenging. To ensure the quality and significance of these data analyses, it is necessary to instruct users in the correct handling of the data. This methodological book provides a standardised approach to successfully implementing these data analyses. It contains examples of and tools for the analysis of the PIAAC data using different statistical approaches and software, and it offers perspectives from various disciplines. The contributing authors have hands-on experience of using PIAAC data, and/or they have conducted data analysis workshops with these data.
International Perspectives on School Settings, Education Policy and Digital Strategies
An exchange on education ideas has shaped the transatlantic discourse in education for a long time. Over the past two decades education science has increasingly become networked internationally. Since 2015, the Office for International Cooperation in Education at DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education has organized international sessions on education research at the Annual Meetings of the American Educational Research Association, thus providing a floor for transatlantic exchange on current research topics. The volume gives an overview of the transatlantic activities in education research with regard to these sessions representing a collection of topics ranging from school development over the use of large scale assessment and digital data in education to questions related to migration and public education or the economization of education. At the same time the volume offers a reflection on the assets and obstacles of international exchange.
Methoden der Migrationsforschung

Diagnostik bei Migrantinnen und Migranten
Obwohl der Anteil von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund in den letzten Jahren stark gestiegen ist, fehlte es bislang an einer systematischen Übersicht über diagnostische Verfahren für diese Zielgruppe. Das Handbuch trägt die verfügbaren diagnostischen Verfahren zusammen, die derzeit für Personen mit Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland vorliegen. Dabei finden neben Instrumenten aus dem Bereich der Pädagogischen und Klinischen Psychologie auch Verfahren Berücksichtigung, die für die Platzierung von Migrantinnen und Migranten auf dem Arbeitsmarkt von Bedeutung sind. Das Buch richtet sich an einen breiten Personenkreis aus Wissenschaft und Praxis. Es gibt Psychotherapeut/innen, Sozial...
Between PIAAC and the New Literacy Studies
With this book we present a selection of articles that critically deal with (internationally comparative) large-scale assessments. We acknowledge that studies such as PIAAC are often designed, financed and implemented on the basis of neo-liberal worldviews. Nevertheless, we would like to use the articles that are presented here to show the various ways in which adult and continuing education can benefit and learn from the knowledge that they generate. In PIAAC, for example, there are huge differences between the surveyed variables and the theoretical frameworks on literacies and literacy practices that the New Literacy Studies (NLS) have brought out. This book features eleven articles, which – with the NLS’s theoretical considerations and points of criticism in mind – find new and alternative evaluations and interpretations of the data. Not only can they show effects of marginalization on a large scale, but the data can also provide information about mechanisms of power in relation to literacy and basic competencies.
Negotiating the Boundaries of Belonging
Nils Witte explores Turkish migrants’ destigmatization strategies and investigates their legal and symbolic motives for naturalisation. Using mixed methods and unique data the author shows that Turkish migrants’ inclination to naturalise would be stronger if they were allowed to retain their former citizenship and if they were recognized as symbolic members of German society. Minority members enjoy expansive rights as permanent residents and many are entitled to hold German citizenship. However, they often experience symbolic exclusion making symbolic membership a rare motive for naturalisation.
Kinder griechischer Bürgerkriegsflüchtlinge in der DDR
1.300 Markos- oder Partisanen-Kinder kamen 1949 und 1950 nach Radebeul bei Dresden. Die Bürgerkriegsflüchtlinge erhielten in der DDR eine sozialistische Erziehung sowie eine Schul- und Berufsausbildung. Danach sollten sie nach Griechenland zurückkehren. Doch mit dem Vorwurf der Knabenlese (Paidomázoma) zum Zwecke der kommunistischen Indoktrination hatte Griechenland allen in Osteuropa lebenden Emigranten die Staatsbürgerschaft aberkannt. Es herrschte Kalter Krieg. Als Staatenlose suchten sie in der communitas eine Beheimatung in der DDR. Die Vorteile für den sozialistischen Staat lagen auf der Hand: ausgebildete Fachkräfte, Rehabilitierung nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und die Chance auf ein Unterlaufen der Hallstein-Doktrin. Der Sturz der griechischen Junta eröffnete die Chance auf eine Rückkehr in die Heimat. Doch viele schufen sich zunächst als Gastarbeiter in der Bundesrepublik eine finanzielle Grundlage für die Heimkehr nach Griechenland. Ihre in der DDR aufgewachsenen Kinder suchen nun ihrerseits Beheimatung, Identität und eine Zukunft.
Forced Migration in/to Canada
Forced migration shaped the creation of Canada as a settler state and is a defining feature of our contemporary national and global contexts. Many people in Canada have direct or indirect experiences of refugee resettlement and protection, trafficking, and environmental displacement. Offering a comprehensive resource in the growing field of migration studies, Forced Migration in/to Canada is a critical primer from multiple disciplinary perspectives. Researchers, practitioners, and knowledge keepers draw on documentary evidence and analysis to foreground lived experiences of displacement and migration policies at the municipal, provincial, territorial, and federal levels. From the earliest in...
The Border Within
When the Berlin Wall fell, Germany united in a wave of euphoria and solidarity. Also caught in the current were Vietnamese border crossers who had left their homeland after its reunification in 1975. Unwilling to live under socialism, one group resettled in West Berlin as refugees. In the name of socialist solidarity, a second group arrived in East Berlin as contract workers. The Border Within paints a vivid portrait of these disparate Vietnamese migrants' encounters with each other in the post-socialist city of Berlin. Journalists, scholars, and Vietnamese border crossers themselves consider these groups that left their homes under vastly different conditions to be one people, linked by an unquestionable ethnic nationhood. Phi Hong Su's rigorous ethnography unpacks this intuition. In absorbing prose, Su reveals how these Cold War compatriots enact palpable social boundaries in everyday life. This book uncovers how 20th-century state formation and international migration—together, border crossings—generate enduring migrant classifications. In doing so, border crossings fracture shared ethnic, national, and religious identities in enduring ways.
