Were They Pushed Or Did They Jump?
This book explores the factors which govern the range of educational decisions confronting individuals between compulsory school education and university. The data on which it draws come from two surveys conducted in north-west Italy, one of unemployed young people and one of high-school pupils. The author is in effect testing the two fundamental and opposed paradigms of explanation which are generally applied in the sociology of education; one which holds that the individual agents are essentially passive, being either constrained by lack of alternatives or pushed by causal factors of which they are unaware; and the other in which they are regarded as capable of purposive action, of weighing the available alternatives with respect to some future rewards.

Bildungsforschung mit Daten der amtlichen Statistik
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.
Rethinking Contexts for Learning and Teaching
Now that learning is seen as lifelong and lifewide, what specifically makes a learning context? What are the resultant consequences for teaching practices when working in specific contexts? Drawing upon a variety of academic disciplines, Rethinking Contexts for Learning and Teaching explores some of the different means of understanding teaching and learning, both in and across contexts, the issues they raise and their implications for pedagogy and research. It specifically addresses What constitutes a context for learning? How do we engage the full resources of learners for learning? What are the relationships between different learning contexts? What forms of teaching can most effectively mobilise learning across contexts? How do we methodologically and theoretically conceptualise contexts for learning? Drawing upon practical examples and the UK’s TLRP, this book brings together a number of leading researchers to examine the assumptions about context embedded within specific teaching and learning practices. It considers how they might be developed to extend opportunity by drawing upon learning from a range of contexts, including schools, colleges, universities and workplaces.
Macro-Micro Linkages in Sociology
In this volume, twenty leading sociologists consider the dichotomy between micro and macro level analysis in social research. All demonstrate the inescapable connections between the two, and attempt to link them together. This topic is approached from various theoretical perspectives including the interrelationship of large scale and small scale theories, variables and concepts. It is studied more specifically in relation to institutions such as education, work and family, gender and demographic research.
Quality and Impact in Global Education
For several years now, the demand for increased impact orientation has also affected the field of Global Education (GE) / Development Education and Awareness Raising (DEAR). In this context, a vivid discussion is still ongoing regarding what can be considered an ›impact‹ in GE/DEAR and how these impacts can be analysed. Both questions are dealt with within the scope of the research project ›Impacts and methods of impact monitoring in development education and awareness raising‹, which was financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and which is to be presented in this volume. Against the backdrop of the empirical findings of this research project, this publication shows which effects can be targeted in the planning and evaluation of GE-/DEAR-projects and which contextual conditions can influence their effectiveness.
