Remembering and Recounting the Cold War

Perceptions and images of the Cold War as they appear in textbooks, in the classroom but also in public and in the scientific discourse are topic of this volume "Remembering and Recounting the Cold War – Commonly Shared History?". These perceptions and images are particularly interesting because they are part of the communicative memory and are thus in the process of undergoing change. It is also the task of history didactics, here understood as a science concerned with investigating, theorizing on and staging the way of how people and societies deal with history and memories, to describe, to analyze and to interpret such moldings of teaching cultures, memory cultures and, of course, individual and collective views of this era.

Theory of the History Classroom

This volume proposes a theory of history education in formal classroom settings. Specifically, it aims to outline how the particular setting of the classroom interacts with domain-specific processes of historical thinking. The theory rests on the notion that formal school education is a communicative and social system, while historical thinking occurs in the psychological system of a person's historical consciousness. In the complex interaction of these systems, historical thinking, emotions, communication, media and language are of particular importance. Drawing upon educational theory as well as the theory of history, this theory of the history classroom provides a framework as well as a solid foundation for future empirical research, both for developing research questions as well as for interpreting findings.

Die Berufseingangsphase im Lehramt an berufsbildenden Schulen

Der Übergang vom Referendariat in die Lehrtätigkeit - die dritte Phase der Lehrer:innenausbildung - ist wenig erforscht. In der qualitativen Studie rekonstruiert die Autorin mit Hilfe der Grounded Theory, wie Lehrkräfte die Berufseingangsphase subjektiv erleben und Sylke Grüll leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Professionsdiskurs. Es werden Handlungsmuster der Lehrkräfte, die sich in der Berufseingangsphase befinden, beschrieben und die Herausforderungen dieser Phase untersucht. Ein wichtiges Ergebnis der Arbeit sind Empfehlungen für die Begleitung der Berufseingangsphase und für die Verbesserungen der strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen. Als Unterstützungsmedium wurde ein Kompetenzkatalog entwickelt.

The Reshaping of West European Party Politics

Reshaping of West European Party Politics offers an empirical study of party politics in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK from 1980 and onwards. This book highlights the more complex party system agenda with the decline, but not disappearance, of macroeconomic issues as well as the rise in 'new politics' issues together with education and health care. Moreover, various 'new politics' issues such as immigration, the environment,and European integration have seen very different trajectories.To explain the development of the individual issues, this volume develops a new theoretical model labelled the'issue incentive model' of party system attention. The aim of the model is to explain how much attention issues get throughout the party system, which is labelled 'the party system agenda'.

EDU:TRANSVERSAL No. 01/2022

  • Categories: Art

The challenges of a complex and volatile world require solutions that reconcile divergent perspectives and interests. In schools, interdisciplinarity has been integrated within curricula for decades, yet it is rarely applied as a collaborative practice. Communication between different fields of research is not enough. Without meaningful collaboration, opportunities to connect are lost, and teachers and students fail to benefit from the experience of lived interdisciplinarity. A new periodical, entitled EDU:TRANSVERSAL, presents the latest findings of national and international transversal research as well as the state of the art of interdisciplinarity in didactics. The aim of this annual publication is to stimulate a transversal turn in education.

The Professional Doctorate in Education

The book explores and analyses, from a variety of conceptual perspectives, the encounters with self and others that professional doctorate programmes in education both necessitate and enable. It documents the ways in which professional identities, bodies of knowledge and practices are thereby challenged, renegotiated and strengthened. It comprises 14 chapters written by academic staff engaged in professional doctorate programmes in education and by professional practitioners who have undertaken doctoral study. The volume is both useful and provocative, offering insights to colleagues who design and deliver EdD programmes in thinking through some crucial conceptual and practical issues. It will also help existing and potential EdD students to assess what they can gain from, and contribute to, doctoral-level study and their professional contexts.

The Role of Higher Education in the Professionalisation of Adult Educators

This collection of essays focuses on the important, but under-discussed, role of higher education institutions in both delivering academic programmes that provide relevant cognitive and professional skills and competences to future adult educators, and in being more actively involved in the current dialogue with regard to the professionalization paths of adult educators and trainers. The topics discussed here vary from the initial education and training of adult educators in higher education environments, to the role of universities as validating agencies of existing psycho-pedagogical competences for in-service adult educators. Particular attention is also drawn to the ways in which adult education policies and initial education and training opportunities for prospective adult educators affect the role of higher education institutions in terms of academic orientation and programme delivery.

This publication takes a critical look at the role of art and design education amidst these social changes – using theoretical reflection, practical experience, and empirical analysis.
