Global migration movements are also reflected in classrooms. However, the professional re-entry of migrant teachers with and without a refugee background has been neglected for a long time. This publication, which was developed in the European project "International Teachers for Tomorrow's School" (ITTS), is dedicated to this question. In seven country contributions, the opportunities and challenges of returning to work in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Poland, Slovenia and Türkiye are examined – for some of the countries, new ground was broken. It is shown which conditions favour, challenge or prevent a new professional start. In addition, the results of the cross-national ITTS study are presented, in which high satisfaction values are reflected among those teachers who succeeded in re-entering the profession despite many hurdles. Finally, the findings of the project are condensed into a series of hints and recommendations.
Internationalisation of teacher training is a major challenge in the 21st century. For universities, university colleges and schools, internationalisation is now more important than ever. This publication considers a variety of perspectives related to internationalisation and explores aspects such as diversity, globalisation, interculturality, multilingualism, political education, and in particular, sustainable development. This publication presents 22 diverse contributions. Nevertheless, the contributions share a common base: They all refer to teacher education, sustainability and challenges of educational interest for the advancement of internationalisation in education.
Every day educators are presented with enlightening insights, questions, and encounters which reveal how students engage in learning, how new ideas can impact positively on student outcomes and how - when challenges are uncovered - there can be a sense of puzzlement where rethinking of pedagogical approaches is critical for student success. In this volume of Voices from the Classroom, "Contemporary Challenges in Education - Paradoxes and Illuminations", an international team of authors explores paradoxes, shares illuminations and invites you to reflect on educational practices to enhance pedagogy, scaffold learning and keep pace with educational advancements. This collection written by stude...
Die weltweiten Migrationsbewegungen spiegeln sich auch in den Klassenzimmern wider. Der berufliche Wiedereinstieg von zugewanderten Lehrkräften mit und ohne Fluchthintergrund wurde jedoch lange Zeit vernachlässigt. Diesem Thema widmet sich der vorliegende Band, der im europäischen Projekt „International Teachers for Tomorrow’s School“ (ITTS) entstanden ist. In sieben Länderbeiträgen werden die Chancen und Herausforderungen des beruflichen Wiedereinstiegs in Belgien, Deutschland, Griechenland, Island, Polen, Slowenien und der Türkei beleuchtet – in einigen Ländern wurde damit Neuland betreten. Dabei wird aufgezeigt, welche Rahmenbedingungen den beruflichen Neuanfang begünstigen, herausfordern oder verhindern. Darüber hinaus werden die Ergebnisse der länderübergreifenden ITTS-Studie vorgestellt, die hohe Zufriedenheitswerte bei jenen Lehrkräften zeigt, denen der Wiedereinstieg trotz vieler Hürden gelungen ist. Abschließend werden die Erkenntnisse des Projekts zu einer Reihe von Hinweisen und Empfehlungen verdichtet.
This book examines sport as an inclusive and developmental environment, exploring the conditions by which community sport initiatives can promote personal development, health and social cohesion, particularly for at-risk youth. At the empirical core of the book is a multiple disciplinary study of community sport programmes in Flanders, Belgium, involving researchers from social sport sciences, social work, pedagogy and health care sciences. Drawing on this cutting-edge, realist research, the book considers the implications for sport development policy and practice around the world. The book considers community sport as a vehicle for promoting social inclusion, and the ways it allows people of all backgrounds and abilities to participate and access social and health benefits, whilst touching on key issues including monitoring and evaluation; exercise and health; youth welfare, and volunteering. This book is a fascinating reading for any student, researcher or practitioner working in sport for development, sport management, sport coaching, social work, education, sociology or urban studies.
Social inclusion is a pressing issue confronting all levels of sport today, and community sport in particular. Sport is being promoted as an inclusive environment in which people of all backgrounds and abilities can participate and access a range of social and health benefits. Moreover, sport is often heralded as a vehicle for promoting social inclusion in other societal domains. Yet, the policy ideal of ‘sport for all’ is not always realised in practice, and community sport continues to be plagued by various forms of discrimination and social exclusion. This book brings together a team of scholars from across the globe whose research addresses the complex relationship between community ...
Emerging Contaminants presents the reader with information on classification, recent studies, and adverse effects on the environment and human health of the main classes of contaminants. Emerging contaminants are synthetic or natural compounds and microorganisms produced and used by humans that cause adverse ecological and human health effects when they reach the environment. This book is organized into four sections that cover the classification of contaminants and the instrumental techniques used to quantify them, recent studies on pesticides, antibiotics as an important group of emerging contaminants, and studies of different classes of emerging contaminants such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), microplastics, and others.

A comprehensive English-language survey of neutral and non-belligerent states during the Second World War.
Die empirische Bildungsforschung hat in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten vor allem durch die Schulleistungsforschung, die Forschung zu den Bedingungen von Lernprozessen und gelingendem Unterricht einen bemerkenswerten Aufschwung erfahren und das Wissen in diesen Bereichen deutlich verbessert. Demgegenüber wurde das im letzten Jahrzehnt erweiterte Datenangebot der amtlichen Statistik nur in geringem Umfang für stärker analytisch ausgerichtete Untersuchungen genutzt. Die in dem Beiheft versammelten Beiträge sollen zum einen vielfältige Analysemöglichkeiten mit amtlichen Daten verdeutlichen und zum anderen Anregungen für Forschungsarbeiten mit Daten der amtlichen Statistik geben. Für die datengenerierenden Stellen in den zuständigen Ministerien und in den statistischen Ämtern des Bundes, der Länder und der Kommunen sollen die vorgestellten Untersuchungen den Wert ihrer Daten für wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen unterstreichen und so ein Bewusstsein für die Notwendigkeit eines leichten Datenzugangs schaffen.
