European Competence Standards for the Academic Training of Career Practitioners
The citizens of Europe are facing increasingly complex challenges to their career development nowadays. Over the span of their lifetime, they need to manage their careers, and make numerous decisions concerning education, training and employment – decisions, which seriously impact their futures and their wellbeing. To prepare citizens for these challenges, and to support them in the progress, competent career practitioners are needed. But what kinds of career practitioners are we talking about? And what do they need to be able to do? How can the quality of their training be assured? This handbook introduces common European competence standards for the academic training of career practitioners in Europe, together with some proposals and examples, of how to implement and establish such competence standards in practice. More than 200 experts from all across Europe have contributed to the development of these shared standards of the Network for Innovation in Career Guidance and Counselling in Europe (NICE). The standards are already being used in many countries for the development of degree programmes.

Moral Distress in the Health Professions
This is the first book on the market or within academia dedicated solely to moral distress among health professionals. It aims to bring conceptual clarity about moral distress and distinguish it from related concepts. Explicit attention is given to the voices and experiences of health care professionals from multiple disciplines and many parts of the world. Contributors explain the evolution of the concept of moral distress, sources of moral distress including those that arise at the unit/team and organization/system level, and possible solutions to address moral distress at every level. A liberal use of case studies will make the phenomenon palpable to readers. This volume provides information not only for academia and educational initiatives, but also for practitioners and the research community, and will serve as a professional resource for courses in health professional schools, bioethics, and business, as well as in the hospital wards, intensive care units, long-term care facilities, hospice, and ambulatory practice sites in which moral distress originates.
Epiphanies
Epiphanies is a philosophical exploration of epiphanies, peak experiences, 'wow moments', or ecstasies as they are sometimes called. What are epiphanies, and why do so many people so frequently experience them? Are they just transient phenomena in our brains, or are they the revelations of objective value that they very often seem to be? What do they tell us about the world, and about ourselves? How, if at all, do epiphanies fit in with our moral systems and our theories of how to live? And how do epiphanic experiences fit in with the rest of our lives? These are Sophie Grace Chappell's questions in this ground-breaking new study of an area of inquiry that has always been right under our noses, but remains surprisingly under-explored in contemporary philosophy.

Beratung in Bildung, Beruf und Beschäftigung
Angesichts komplexer und teilweise brüchiger Berufsbiografien gewinnt Beratung zunehmend an Bedeutung. Damit rückt auch die Frage nach der Qualität entsprechender Angebote ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit. Das gemeinsam mit dem Nationalen Forum Beratung in Bildung, Beruf und Beschäftigung (nfb) durchgeführte Projekt "Offener Koordinierungsprozess Qualitätsentwicklung" antwortet auf diese Herausforderung mit einem integrierten Qualitätskonzept. Dieses umfasst Strategien der Professionalisierung, Ansätze zur organisationalen Qualitätsentwicklung und zur Stärkung der Kompetenzen von Beratern. Das Buch präsentiert die wissenschaftliche Fundierung des Projekts und wertet die begleitende Erprobung aus. Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse werden in einem Anschlussprojekt weiter erprobt und erforscht.
Games and Ethics
The number of digital gamers is increasing worldwide, but public debates about digital games commonly focus on questionable game content or problematic gaming behavior. This book offers a broader ethical perspective on digital game cultures, presenting theoretical and empirical work on the ethical dimensions of the development, production and distribution of digital games, as well as issues relating to responsible gaming and the pedagogical use of digital games. Questions of the communicative-cultural change in game cultures are linked with questions of media education and media ethics. With such a comprehensive approach, the volume promotes ethical discourse on digital game cultures.
The Impact of Education
This book investigates the impact of education on the formation of character, moral education and the communication of values in late modern pluralistic societies.

This makes for a rich variety of thematic concentrations and perspectives. Readers will quickly sense that the educational foundations and trajectories of any given country are pervasive and have a significant reach into the fabric and shape...
