Teaching, Responsibility, and the Corruption of Youth
Teaching, Responsibility, and the Corruption of Youth explores the concept and practice of responsibility in education and teaching in the new post-Cold War era after the long run of globalization and liberal internationalism has been disrupted by the rise of populism, anti-immigration sentiments and new forms of terrorism. The old liberal values and forms of tolerance have been questioned. Responsibility is a complex concept in our lives with moral, social, financial and political aspects. It embraces both legal and moral forms, and refers to the state of being accountable or answerable for one’s actions implying a sense of obligation associated with being in a position of authority such ...
Teacher Motivation
Teacher Motivation: Theory and Practice provides a much needed introduction to the current status and future directions of theory and research on teacher motivation. Although there is a robust literature covering the theory and research on student motivation, until recently there has been comparatively little attention paid to teachers. This volume draws together a decade of work from psychological theorists and researchers interested in what motivates people to choose teaching as a career, what motivates them as they work with students in classrooms, the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic forces on career experiences, and how their motivational profiles vary at different stages of their career. With chapters from leading experts on the topic, this volume provides a critical resource not only for educational psychologists, but also for those working in related fields such as educational leadership, teacher development, policy makers and school psychology.

Section I covers theoretical reflections and perspectives on the main theories on emotion and motivation in learning and teaching and their transferability across different educational contexts illustrated with empirical examples. Section II addresses the methodological reflections and perspectives on the methodology tha...
Advances in Help-Seeking Research and Applications
Research on help seeking has primarily focused on classrooms interactions that consist primarily of students asking teachers and peers for help. The rapid emergence of information and communications technologies and interactive learning environments, however, requires expanding the help-seeking landscape and rethinking such critical theoretical issues as the distinction between help seeking and information search, and whether help seeking is inevitably a social self-regulated learning strategy. There is also the need to focus attention on help seeking in the broader learning enterprise, which includes its role in the collaboration process, how to support adaptive rather than the over- or und...
Against the Odds - (In)Equity in Education and Educational Systems
(In)Equity in education and educational systems is a topic of outstanding relevance. Factors, like, for example, students' socio-economic status or migration background have been found to be strongly related to academic achievement in various studies and this is a constant finding in large-scale assessment studies - especially for Germany. Does educational inequity accumulate over a child's life span or what compensating factors can be identified? Not least because of the topics' timeless meaning the 5th Dortmund Symposium on Empirical Educational Research was focused on questions pertaining to (in)equity. Factors of influence and approaches to overcome (in)equity were discussed by an international and interdisciplinary expert panel, with contributions from Cyprus, Ireland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Germany.
Peer Reviews zwischen Schulen im Rahmen von Schulnetzwerken
In dieser Dissertation werden Peer Reviews erforscht, die im Schulnetzwerk Blick über den Zaun von kritischen Freunden mit dem Ziel durchgeführt wurden, Impulse für Schulentwicklung zu geben. Um Schulentwicklung anzustoßen, gibt es verschiedene Strategien, zu denen Schulnetzwerke, Schulentwicklungsberatung und Peer Reviews gehören. Ihre Forschungsbereiche bilden, gemeinsam mit der Schulentwicklungsforschung, den theoretischen Rahmen dieser Arbeit. Der Fokus liegt auf Mikroprozessen, also den Abläufen von Strategien und dem Handeln der Akteur:innen während ihrer Durchführung, innerhalb von Peer Reviews. Ziel ist eine empirische und theoretische Fundierung der Strategien für Schulentw...
