Elemental Difference and the Climate of the Body
In nineteenth-century Europe, differences among human bodies were understood to be matters of scientific classification. At the height of scientific acceptance, it was unthinkable that race or sex or diagnosis or indigence were invention. Today, however, differences among human bodies are understood as matters of social construction. The philosophy of social construction understands differences among humans to be matters of human imposition. Social constructionism's way of understanding the origin of differences among humans is so well-established as to have no currently viable alternatives, even among new materialists, social constructionism's most ardent critics. This book argues that new ...

Nationalpopulismus bildet?
Der Aufstieg des Populismus in westlichen Demokratien fordert nicht nur die etablierten politischen Parteien und kulturellen wie wirtschaftlichen Eliten heraus. Auch Schulen, Hochschulen und Universitäten sehen sich veranlasst, sich gegenüber politischen Bewegungen zu positionieren, die sie in Bezug auf ihre humanistischen, pluralistischen und diversitätsfreundlichen Bildungsideale attackieren. Wie kann dieses politische Phänomen, das die demokratischen Bausteine der westlichen Nachkriegsordnung und die Trägerprinzipien des modernen öffentlichen Schulwesens unmittelbar bedroht, neu definiert werden? Wie kann das moderne Schulwesen Bewegungen gegenübertreten, die eindimensional-simplifizierendes Denken, antidemokratische und diskriminierende Einmütigkeit sowie den nationalistischen Rückzug propagieren? Sind Bildungseinrichtungen nicht dazu verpflichtet, immer mehr auf ihre Neutralität zu verzichten, um ein demokratisches System in der Krise zu verteidigen? Mit diesen grundsätzlichen Fragestellungen, die Auszubildende und Ausbildende der pädagogischen Hochschulen vor dem Hintergrund ihres Bildungsauftrags betreffen, befasst sich der vorliegende Tagungsband.
Educational Research
Educational Research is a highly readable text that provides students with a clear and in-depth understanding of the different kinds of research--including technology-based--that are used in education today. The text introduces students to the fundamental logic of empirical research and explores the sources of research ideas. Detailed descriptions guide students through the design and implementation of actual research studies with a balanced examination of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research, serving as one of the book′s strongest features. While quantitative research strategies are covered extensively, the text also discusses various qualitative approaches such as ethnography, historical methods, phenomenology, grounded theory, and case studies. The authors present detailed, step-by-step coverage of the key elements of research, including sampling techniques, ethical considerations, data collection methods, measurement, judging validity, experimental and non-experimental methods, descriptive and inferential statistics, qualitative data analysis, and report preparation.
