Understanding Institutionalized Education
Currently, the school as an institution is faced with a number of controversial expectations on behalf of society and politics in view of its significance, effectivity, and instrumentality. Frequently applied tests and longitudinal studies should measure the performance level of our educational system constantly, but there is still an ongoing disagreement in terms of of the organisation of schools and curricula. This book opposes the monopolizing of the school, arguing that it is irrelevant or guided by particular interests and recent tendencies that solely and primarily define the significance of school by its effectivity. The text defends the school as a place that should enable young peop...
Confucian Perspectives on Learning and Self-Transformation
This book bridges the regions of East Asia and the West by offering a detailed and critical inquiry of educational concepts of the East Asian tradition. It provides educational thinkers and practitioners with alternative resources and perspectives for their educational thinking, to enrich their educational languages and to promote the recognition of educational thoughts from different cultures and traditions across a global world. The key notions of Confucian and Neo-Confucian philosophy directly concern the ideals, processes and challenges of learning, education and self-transformation, which can be seen as the western equivalences of liberal education, including the German concept of Bildu...
Conflict, Negotiation and Perspective Taking
In a world where conflicts are commonplace and almost unavoidable, negotiation is recommended as the preferred approach for productively handling the outcomes of disputes. In addition, negotiation is recognized as an enabler of a constructive, grounded attitude toward conflict. This book advocates that perspective-taking is a superior competency to effectively understand the points of view of others, as well as a means to create a beneficial outcome to a conflict, attain sustainable business and solutions, and develop healthier relationships. The three central themes presented in this book: conflict, negotiation, and interpersonal perspective-taking, provide different important insights into...
Michel Foucault: Pädagogische Lektüren
Michel Foucault entwickelt sich gegenwärtig zweifellos zu einer der neuen Bezugsgrößen des pädagogischen Diskurses: Nach einer langen Phase großer Widerstände innerhalb der deutschsprachigen Erziehungswissenschaft werden jetzt die materialgesättigten Untersuchungen der komplizierten Verflechtungen von Wissensformen, Machttypen und Subjektivierungspraktiken immer häufiger zum Anlass, neue Reflexionsformen zu erproben. Vor diesem Hintergrund präsentiert der Sammelband grundlegende erziehungswissenschaftliche Beiträge, die das Anregungspotential der Arbeiten Michel Foucaults nutzen und Erziehungspraktiken, Bildungsprozesse und Lernvorgänge auf veränderte Weise in den Blick nehmen.

It offers practical evidence-based suggestions on how to incorporate the promotion of empathic development into the everyday teaching of professional ethics.
Citizenship Education
For students, citizenship education means more than merely learning about citizenship and democracy. Citizenship education means learning through practicing citizenship inside and outside the school. One model for that is service learning, which combines service and learning by linking community service and reflection about it in class.
Philosophie der Bildung und Erziehung
Erziehung- und Bildungsphilosophie gibt keine Antworten auf konkrete pädagogische Probleme. Aber sie stellt Perspektiven, Begriffe und Deutungen bereit, die es ermöglichen, sich im pädagogischen Denken und Nachdenken zu orientieren. Dieser Einführungsband vermittelt aus zehn philosophischen Perspektiven Einsichten in Grundfragen von Erziehung und Bildung. Diese Denktraditionen werden exemplarisch anhand eines Protagonisten, einer historischen Skizze und einer zentralen Metapher sowie hinsichtlich ihrer politisch-sozialen Bedeutung umrissen.
Schools in Transition
School is one of the most focal institutions in modern society. It is largely through the institutionalized forms of education that modern society attempts to secure and maintain its social and economic well-being and its valuable cultural life forms. In addition to this, school is the essential institution through which the future of a society is defined. Thus, at least when understood traditionally as a pedagogical institution, the school stands at the center of historically and socially constructed cultural life forms and at the brink of an unknown future: the determination of that future characterizes the pedagogical task of the school. It naturally ensues then, that modern discourses of...
