International Perspectives on School Settings, Education Policy and Digital Strategies
An exchange on education ideas has shaped the transatlantic discourse in education for a long time. Over the past two decades education science has increasingly become networked internationally. Since 2015, the Office for International Cooperation in Education at DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education has organized international sessions on education research at the Annual Meetings of the American Educational Research Association, thus providing a floor for transatlantic exchange on current research topics. The volume gives an overview of the transatlantic activities in education research with regard to these sessions representing a collection of topics ranging from school development over the use of large scale assessment and digital data in education to questions related to migration and public education or the economization of education. At the same time the volume offers a reflection on the assets and obstacles of international exchange.
Geopolitical Transformations in Higher Education
This book discusses the central role education and research play in generating both value and comparative advantages in the (imageries of) global competition, competitiveness and transnational value chains. They are seen as assets placed at the forefront of developments that are arguably reshaping individuals, society and economy. This edited volume explores these developments in terms of changing relations between society, economy, science and individuals. The idea that we live in global knowledge societies and knowledge-based economies or that present-day productive systems constitute an industry 4.0 have gained currency as descriptions of contemporary society that are said to bear direct ...
The Education Systems of the Americas
This handbook focuses on and compares the education systems in the three Americas: North, Central and South America, and includes a chapter on most countries in the region. The chapters follow a common structure and include schematic diagrams of the structure of mainstream education from pre-primary to tertiary level. Each chapter starts with a description of the historical and social foundations of the education system from the post-World War II period up to today, including political, economic and cultural contexts and conditions. By highlighting important dates and structural decisions, the current education system can be understood as resulting from past developments. The first part ends...
Learning Technologies
With a historical context covering the past 20 years, this book provides in-depth discussions of research, trends, and issues related to learning technologies in K-12 schools, higher education settings, and educational administration in the U.S. Given the remote learning challenges and opportunities that the COVID-19 pandemic has recently brought to our attention, world-wide interest in educational technology-related issues is at its peak. Therefore, this book is specifically directed at the entire educational technology field, educators, educational leaders, researchers, and policymakers alike who are interested in learning technologies in the U.S. educational system. Three main resources g...
New Perspectives in Critical Data Studies
This Open Access book examines the ambivalences of data power. Firstly, the ambivalences between global infrastructures and local invisibilities challenge the grand narrative of the ephemeral nature of a global data infrastructure. They make visible local working and living conditions, and the resources and arrangements required to operate and run them. Secondly, the book examines ambivalences between the state and data justice. It considers data justice in relation to state surveillance and data capitalism, and reflects on the ambivalences between an "entrepreneurial state" and a "welfare state." Thirdly, the authors discuss ambivalences of everyday practices and collective action, in which...
Researching the Global Education Industry
This book examines how the Global Education Industry (GEI) has brokered, funded, and implemented new conceptualizations of ‘good’ education. With a focus on new private providers and policy actors in education, the authors of the book analyze the impact of the GEI on educational research, policy and practice. How did philanthropies and foundations manage to make their voices heard in school reform debates, what are the implication of digital technologies and data infrastructures on teaching and learning, and should the fast advance of the GEI be merely seen as a logical consequence of the commercialization of education? Moving beyond single-country case studies, the book focuses on key issues related to the study of the Global Education Industry in an international context, discussing the rationales, processes and impacts of current developments. This comprehensive book will be of interest and value to scholars and researchers of the GEI, as well as policy makers.

Digitale Lerntechnologien
Digitale Bildungstechnologien (EdTech) wecken hohe Erwartungen und sind Bestandteil diverser Versprechen in puncto Individualisierung, Entlastung oder selbstgesteuertes Lernen. Doch was steckt wirklich in diesen Technologien und welche Folgen ergeben sich hieraus für die Pädagogik? Ausgehend vom Ziel einer reflektierten Gestaltung schulischer Digitalisierung bringt der Sammelband in dieser Form erstmalig Forschung und Praxisansätze aus Deutschland zusammen, welche typische Versprechen von EdTech kritisch hinterfragen. Statt pauschaler Euphorie oder Ablehnung plädieren die Beiträge des Bandes für ein differenziertes Bild - und liefern damit Inspiration für alle, die konkrete Ansätze für einen bewussten Einsatz von EdTech suchen.
Kindheits- und Jugendforschung in der Kritik
Die übergreifende Idee dieses Buches ist es, Grundbegriffe der Kindheits- und Jugendforschung zu hinterfragen. Zentrale Begriffe wie Entwicklung, Erziehung, Sozialisation, Bildung, Lernen, aber auch Kindheit und Jugend werden daraufhin untersucht, welche spezifischen Forschungsfragen sich aus ihnen ableiten und welche Forschungsgegenstände mit und durch ihre Verwendung konstruiert werden. Indem diese Grundbegriffe als Konstruktionen verstanden und damit selbst zum Gegenstand einer kritischen Analyse werden, lassen sich historische und soziokulturelle Voraussetzungen dieser Konstruktionsprozesse und die damit verbundenen disziplinären Setzungen ihrerseits in den Blick nehmen. Welche Alternativen sich für die empirische Erforschung von Kindheit und Jugend aus einer solchen Begriffsanalyse ergeben und welche Desiderata sich aus den Entwicklungen der verschiedenen Forschungsstränge ableiten lassen, wird in den Beiträgen dieses Buches aufgezeigt.
