Personal Epistemology in the Classroom
This book presents theoretical and empirical work pertaining to personal epistemology in the classroom and consider its broader educational implications.
Teachers’ Personal Epistemologies
The focus of this book is to explore teachers’ evolving personal epistemologies, or the beliefs we hold about the origin and development of knowledge in the context of teaching. The chapters focus on a range of conceptual frameworks about how university and field?based experiences influence the connections between teachers’ personal epistemologies and teaching practice. In an earlier volume we investigated preservice and inservice teachers’ beliefs and teaching practices (Brownlee, Schraw and Berthelsen, 2011). While we addressed the nature of teachers’ personal epistemologies, learning and teaching practices, and approaches for changing beliefs throughout teacher education programs,...
Institutions and Organizations as Learning Environments for Participation and Democracy
This book discusses opportunities and limitations to democratic participation in institutions and organizations across the life course. It demonstrates that democratic participation is not something that is learned once and for all and applied in formal political settings, but something that is lived every day throughout life in various contexts. Institutions and organizations frame human lives and strongly determine the ability to participate and co-determine their communities. They are places for learning, deliberation and the development of the common good. The book conceptually and empirically analyses the potential of democratic participation within various institutions. The contributions range from early childhood institutions, schools, youth programs, workplaces, and vocational education to cultural organizations and nursing homes for the elderly. The book thereby provides a cross-sectional and interdisciplinary knowledge base to inspire future research and practical efforts to promote democratic participation within and across institutions around the world.

Wirtschaftsunterricht aus der Sicht von Lehrpersonen
Vera Kirchner untersucht in dieser Studie fachdidaktische Vorstellungen (teachers‘ beliefs) von Wirtschaftslehrpersonen als wesentliches Element ihrer professionellen Handlungskompetenz. Damit wird ein zentraler Beitrag zur Lehrerforschung im Bereich der ökonomischen Bildung geleistet. Auf der Basis problemzentrierter leitfadengestützter Interviews und einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse arbeitet die Autorin Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede im fachdidaktischen Verständnis und den Vorstellungen von Lehrpersonen heraus.

Achtsamkeit und pädagogische Professionalität in der Lehrer*innenbildung
Achtsamkeit ist als Gesundheitsförderung in Schule und Lehrer*innenbildung angekommen, ihr pädagogisches Potential geht aber weit darüber hinaus. Dieses nimmt Dominik Weghaupt in den Blick und erforscht Achtsamkeit als Übungsform sowie als psychologische Variable in bildungswissenschaftlicher Hinsicht. Er zeigt phänomenologisch die Charakteristika achtsamkeitsbasierter Lehrveranstaltungen auf, analysiert Achtsamkeitsübungen als pädagogische Praxis und diskutiert den personalen Aspekt pädagogischer Professionalität. Ebenfalls Gegenstand der Analyse sind die Prozesse von Selbstregulation und Selbstkenntnis in Verbindung zu Achtsamkeit - wodurch diese als ein moderierender Faktor für gelingendes pädagogisches Handeln hervortritt.
