Die Didaktik muss ihren Erkenntnisfortschritt über die Praxiswirksamkeit nachweisen. Die Erwartungen konzentrieren sich aktuell auf die messbare Beeinflussung der Unterrichtsqualität. Lehrbefähigung ist jedoch mehr als der Gebrauch von Methoden, die berechenbar zu gewünschten Ergebnissen führen. Guter Unterricht ist keine technische Errungenschaft, die in Serie gehen kann. Das Buch nimmt das an der Subjektivität der Akteure orientierte Grundmotiv der Didaktik in Anlehnung an Martin Wagenschein auf: das Verstehen zu lehren. Das wiederum verlangt, das Lehren selbst zu verstehen. In diesem Spannungsbogen werden ausgewählte didaktische Theorien in ihren Antworten auf der Suche nach der "richtigen" Lehrweise dargestellt.
Im Wilhelminischen Kaiserreich begannen Pädagogen und Psychiater, die »abnorme« Seele des Kindes zu erforschen. Insbesondere das »auffällige« Schulkind stand in ihrem Fokus. Nina Balcar analysiert in ihrem Buch die kontrovers geführte Debatte um die Grenzziehung zwischen Norm und Abnorm, zwischen Gesundheit und Geisteskrankheit, in der um die jeweilige Zuständigkeit für die Verwaltung und Behandlung der vermeintlich psychopathischen Kinder gestritten wurde. Vor diesem Hintergrund zeichnet sie die Entstehungsgeschichte der interdisziplinären Kinderforschung nach, die ihren Ursprung in Jena hatte, wo eine einzigartige Heilerziehungsanstalt für »psychopathische« Zöglinge entstand.

Isaac Leon Kandel (1881-1965) was a major figure in educational philosophy and comparative education in the twentieth century. As a professor of education at Columbia University's Teachers College, Kandel almost single-handedly developed the field of comparative education, and was an early critic of Progressive educational philosophy. As the definitive biography of one of the twentieth century's most brilliant writers on education, this book presents Kandel as a democratic traditionalist who tirelessly advocated the ideal of liberal education for all. This book tells the story of Kandel's life and the many obstacles that he faced because of his faith and political views. The philosophy of democratic schooling that Kandel embodies is crucial to the reconstruction of American education today. Peerless Educator will be of interest not only to scholars of education, but also to practitioners who want to improve education in the twenty-first century.
Fascinating analysis, based on extensive archival research, of the impact of the 'German example' on the development of English educational policy, 1800 to the present.
An incisive analysis of the pedagogy of influential artist and teacher Josef Albers. An extraordinary teacher whose influence continues today, Josef Albers helped shape the Bauhaus school in Germany and established the art and design programs at Black Mountain College in North Carolina and Yale University. His books about color theory have informed generations, and his artworks are included in the canon of high-modernist non-representational art. The pedagogy Albers developed was a dynamic approach to teaching that transcended the modernist agendas and cultivated a material way of thinking among his students. With this book, Jeffrey Saletnik explores the origins of Albers’s teaching practi...
