This book addresses the background of classroom flipping, explores the theoretical underpinnings for why flipping works, and shares current success stories in practice. It provides diverse international examples of classroom flipping for all ages, includes discussions of the authors’ studies in the context of the existing research, and illustrates the impact that classroom flipping has had across a range of educational settings instead of focusing on a specific domain or learner context. Intended as a handbook for practitioners, the analysis of commonly used, highly effective techniques for learners of various ages fills a major gap in the literature. It offers a valuable resource for educators, helping them make the flipped learning experience an impactful and meaningful one.

This book draws upon economic and sociological theory to provide a comprehensive discussion of economic space for social innovation, addressing especially marginalized groups and the long-term projects, programmes, and policies that have emerged and evolved within and across European states. It approaches the explanatory and normative questions raised by this topic via a novel approach: the Extended Social Grid Model (ESGM). Taking inspiration from the fields of economic sociology and ethics, this model shows that social innovation processes must be structural, and require change in power relations, if marginalization is to be effectively dealt with via social innovation. Part I of the book ...
In ancient Egypt, while Egyptians were embracing a prolonged season of good harvest, a looming financial disaster is about to unfold. In a large Israelite household, two brothers, Benjamin and Reuben, navigate through these uncertain times differently. The youngest son Benjamin, follows after his father in the path of prudence, while the eldest son Reuben, is a self-assured person who is determined to achieve his own success. Many times, we can relate ourselves to Benjamin and Reuben. While both brothers desire financial stability and success, Benjamin embraced the teachings of the Financial Ruler while Reuben neglects to apply it. Financial literacy is important, and has impact on our lives. Using the Financial Ruler, we can suitably prepare for different seasons in our lives.
Die steigende Bedeutung finanzieller Bildung in der Schule wird z.T. mit gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen begründet, welche die heranwachsenden Generationen aktuell – aber auch zukünftig – vor neue Herausforderungen stellen. Welche Inhalte hierfür vermittelt werden müssen bzw. welche Kompetenzen notwendig sind, wird – wie das Feld der ökonomischen Bildung insgesamt – kontrovers diskutiert. Die Autorin analysiert die Facetten dieses Diskurses und eruiert die Möglichkeiten einer sozioökonomischen finanziellen Bildung. Vor diesem Hintergrund geht sie der Frage nach, welche Vorstellungen Schüler*innen mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf über "Geld" in unterschiedlichen Wirkungszusammenhängen haben. Es zeigt sich, dass die Vorstellungen der Schüler*innen dabei ebenso vielseitig sind wie die fachlichen und fachdidaktischen Perspektiven.
