Qualitative Methods
This book aims to provide researchers who are new (or relatively new) to qualitative research with the methodological tools and conceptual maps they need to navigate their way through the process. It describes the uncertainties surrounding qualitative research and the many dilemmas faced by researchers. It illustrates these by drawing on the experiences of researchers with varying degrees of expertise in qualitative research. It also provides readers with the necessary background knowledge and raises their awareness of the questions they will need to address to help them make informed decisions about how to deal with these uncertainties and dilemmas. The contents of the book are organized in...
Social Pedagogy for the Entire Lifespan
The ambition of this two-volume publication is to illustrate the applicability of social pedagogy - as an academic and professional paradigm - to work with the most diverse target populations. It is launched at a moment when important and highly interesting developments can be observed in the United Kingdom: a country without a traditional social pedagogy model has started importing social pedagogy from countries with a social pedagogy tradition. Social Pedagogy for the Entire Lifespan illustrates how social pedagogy - as a model in theory and practice - has been and is currently being used, around and across Europe, for work with people of all age groups. Volume II proposes chapters on work...

Recent Social Trends in West Germany, 1960-1990
The third volume in the invaluable reference series Comparative Charting of Social Change examines social trends in West Germany during the period between 1960 and 1990. This was a special phase of German history: the Federal Republic of Germany was founded in 1949, and by 1960 the main disturbances of the Second World War had been overcome. The next thirty years saw relatively stable development in democratic institutions, economic wealth, and the welfare state. This process, however, was not entirely without difficulties. Environmental conditions deteriorated and unemployment grew, especially in the 1980s. A new, reunified Germany replaced the "old" FRG in 1990, ushering in a fundamentally different social structure.
Reflexive Gerontagogik
Thema ist die Analyse der Widersprüche zwischen Bildungstheorie und Bildungspraxis in der Altenbildung. In der Praxis ist die Partizipation der Älteren an organisierter Altenbildung relativ gering. Außerdem werden nur selten die von der Gerontagogik intendierten Bildungsangebote (Bildung als Lebenshilfe oder zur Bewältigung von "Schüsselproblemen") genutzt. Die Gerontagogik geht hingegen von einem umfassenden Bedarf an Bildung aus. Dieser Bedarf wird unter verschiedenen Perspektiven begründet und organisierte Bildung im Alter - etwa unter der Perspektive des lebenslangen Lernens - als Notwendigkeit postuliert. Anspruch der Arbeit ist es die Diskrepanz zwischen Theorie und ernüchternder Praxis aufzuklären. Die Analyse der "Bildungseuphorie" zeichnet die Argumentationsmuster auf Basis der aktuellen Literatur detailliert nach. Darüber hinaus wird versucht, Ursachen für den Optimismus zu identifizieren.
