Challenges Facing Contemporary Didactics. Diversity of Students and the Role of New Media in Teaching and Learning
This anthology raises the issue on current empirical and theoretical research approaches in the field of didactics, in respect to diversity, gender and new media. The intention is to show the related contemporary use and the reflections on didactic approaches based on the tradition of Allgemeine Didaktik. The brainchild to use English as publication language pursues the idea to make the concept of didactics accessible for the English speaking world. The attempt is to mirror differences of provisions incurrent societal phenomena: new media, gender, and diversity which educational institutions are facing. It will reveal and demonstrate that this is a common issue which is to be addressed for s...
Unequal Neighbourhoods, Unequal Schools
Do schools work differently in deprived and privileged neighbourhoods? As segregation is on the rise in many cities, this book explores how different neighbourhood contexts shape public organisations, by using an innovative approach that combines a Bourdieusian perspective and new institutional theory. Based on interviews and ethnographic data from two primary schools in Berlin, Germany, it shows how local social compositions, symbolic meanings of urban areas, and neighbourhood-based policy interventions structure schools. Educational professionals adapt to these structural differences. The book analyses how teachers’ understandings and practices vary by local context – and what that means for the reproduction of urban inequality.
Migration und schulischer Wandel: Unterricht
Damit Kinder und Jugendliche mit vielfältigen Bildungsvoraussetzungen, Identitäten und Lebenshintergründen in der Schule optimal gefördert und Bildungsungleichheiten abgebaut werden können, sind koordinierte Interventionen auf der Unterrichts- und Schulebene notwendig. 'Migration und schulischer Wandel' führt in Erkenntnisse der Schul(qualitäts)forschung mit Perspektiven für eine inklusive Bildungspraxis in der Einwanderungsgesellschaft ein. Jeder Band enthält theoretisches Grundlagenwissen, Forschungsergebnisse sowie Strategien und Praxisbeispiele zu einem zentralen Feld der Unterrichts- und Schulentwicklung. Der Band ‚Unterricht’ bietet eine Einführung in Fragen der Unterrichtsgestaltung in sprachlich und sozio-kulturell heterogenen Schulumwelten. Es geht u.a. um die strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen des Unterrichtens und Lernens, Erscheinungsformen und Ursachen von Bildungsungleichheit, den Umgang mit Heterogenität in der Alltagspraxis von Lehrpersonen, die Umsetzung eines leistungsfördernden und egalisierenden Unterrichts und Konzepte für die politische Bildung in der Einwanderungsgesellschaft.
Power in Vulnerability
With this volume, the editors propose a multi-dimensional and critical review of migrants’ vulnerabilities. They argue that a deeper understanding of vulnerability is paramount to discuss empowerment and resilience. Regardless of their motivations, migrants can face vulnerabilities at any of the stages of their journey. These vulnerabilities may change over time for better or worse, corresponding with a person’s legal status, migratory path and the practices of migration regulation. This book addresses vulnerability from an interdisciplinary and intersectional perspective. It brings together latest academic research and practitioners’ insights to help reception societies adapt and improve their dealing with migrants’ vulnerabilities.
Assessing Contexts of Learning
This volume brings together educational effectiveness research and international large-scale assessments, demonstrating how the two fields can be applied to inspire and improve each other, and providing readers direct links to instruments that cover a broad range of topics and have been shown to work in more than 70 countries. The book’s initial chapters introduce and summarize recent discussions and developments in the conceptualization, implementation, and evaluation of international large-scale context assessments and provide an outlook on possible future developments. Subsequently, three thematic sections – “Student Background”, “Outcomes of Education Beyond Achievement”, and...
Diskriminierung
Vor dem Hintergrund der zunehmenden politischen Bedeutung des Menschenrechtsdiskurses in der Europäischen Union und in Folge der Verabschiedung des Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetzes gewinnt die Auseinandersetzung mit Diskriminierung an gesellschaftspolitischer Relevanz. Auch in wissenschaftlichen Debatten findet der Terminus ‚Diskriminierung‘ zunehmend Verwendung, so etwa in der Auseinandersetzung mit Rechtsextremismus und Rassismus, geschlechtsbezogener Benachteiligung, mit der Situation von Behinderten und alten Menschen sowie in den Diskursen zu Diversity und Heterogenität. Im deutschen Sprachraum hat sich aber bislang eine eigenständige Diskriminierungsforschung erst in Ansätzen entwickelt. Insofern mangelt es der politischen, rechtlichen und medialen Thematisierung von Diskriminierung an einer angemessenen wissenschaftlichen Fundierung. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes sind in Anschluss an die internationale Fachdiskussion auf eine theoretische Analyse von Diskriminierung ausgerichtet und stellen Ergebnisse empirischer Forschung zu Formen und Folgen von Diskriminierung in unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Teilbereichen dar.
The Church, Migration, and Global (In)Difference
The painful reality faced by refugees and migrants is one of the greatest moral challenges of our time, in turn, becoming a focus of significant scholarship. This volume examines the global phenomenon of migration in its theological, historical, and socio-political dimensions and of how churches and faith communities have responded to the challenges of such mass human movement. The contributions reflect global perspectives with contributions from African, Asian, European, North American, and South American scholars and contexts. The essays are interdisciplinary, at the intersection of religion, anthropology, history, political science, gender and post-colonial studies. The volume brings together a variety of perspectives, inter-related by ecclesiological and theological concerns.
