International Perspectives on Early Childhood Teacher Education in the 21st Century
This book provides significant information regarding the policies and provisions for early childhood teacher education programs in universities in fourteen different countries. Early childhood education and care (ECEC) is expanding rapidly across the globe with unprecedented numbers of children attending EC centres, requiring the investment in educators to provide good quality ECEC. Yet, there is an inconsistent approach to early childhood teacher preparation and the quality of existing programs is not known. Each country’s contributing author/s is/are well known in their field for their in-depth knowledge of early childhood teacher education programs including content, structure, and prof...
Sustainable Living and Business
The title of the book derives from the theme of the 20th Conference on Applied Social Sciences of the Professional Association of German Sociologists, held in Munich in May 2019. The question of what concrete contributions social innovations can make to the transition to forms of sustainable coexistence and economic activity is as much the focus of this book as the question of what contribution the social sciences can make. Thus, on the one hand, it is about concrete social innovations that help us to achieve the goal of living and doing business sustainably, but on the other hand, it is also about the way in which the social sciences - not least through appropriate theoretical and methodological training - can be made socially responsible for the success of such socially innovative processes. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
The German Migration Integration Regime
Syrian refugees who gained asylum in Germany following the so-called refugee crisis in 2015 quickly entered into an ‘integration regime’ which produced a binary notion of ‘well integrated’ migrants versus refugees falling short of the narrow social and political definitions of a ‘good’ refugee. Etzel’s rich ethnographic study shows how refugees navigated this conditional inclusion. While some asylum seekers gained international protection, others were left with limited agency to demand government accountability for the ever-moving target of integration. Putting a spotlight on the inconsistencies and failings of a universal approach to integration, this is an important contribution to the wider field of migration and anthropology of the state.
International Social Work and Forced Migration
The book focuses on Social Work with refugees in African, Middle East and European countries. Published as a follow-up to the ‘International Social Work Week’ in Würzburg/Germany with professionals and experts from all over the globe, this book intends to share insights into country-specific developments, challenges and potentials of Social Work in forced migration contexts. The objectives are to map Social Work in this field of action across several countries, to bring into sharper focus an International Social Work in forced migration contexts as well as to contribute in connecting Social Work scholars and experts around the globe.
Quality Improvement in Early Childhood Education
This book explores international perspectives on quality improvement within the field of early childhood education and care. Many countries and governments are focusing on preschool quality as a way to improve entrenched inequalities and reduce social disadvantage and segregation: this book draws together various global case studies to showcase how different countries tackle aspects of quality improvement. The concept of quality is understood in different ways both culturally and contextually, and the implementation of measures to improve quality will differ from country to country. The book draws together case studies from numerous contexts to showcase various ways of working with aspects of quality improvement. Sharing important insights into policy and practice, this book guides a shared understanding of the complex nature of quality improvement within early childhood education and care.
Jahrbuch Migration und Gesellschaft / Yearbook Migration and Society 2022/2023
Migration is not a state of emergency, but a basic existential experience of humanity. It shapes contemporary societies by challenging established orders, creating transnational spaces beyond national hegemonies, creating new economies, influencing urban and communal ways of life, making inequality and precariousness visible locally and globally. Migration research as a social science does not narrow the focus to 'the migrants', but investigates the conditions for living together and shaping life between ethnicization and pluralization, discrimination and empowerment, division and participation. The Yearbook Migration and Society repeatedly turns the prism of narrative anew. The 2022/2023 edition focuses on the topic »Climate«.
Working with Parents and Families in Early Childhood Education
This book reports initiatives to listen to parents and families, to ascertain what families believe and do as they seek to engage collaboratively with their children’s educators, and what educators and educational systems might do to facilitate and/or establish barriers to such engagement. Parental engagement in children’s learning and development has many positive benefits. However, in the current environments of accountability and performativity which are pervading early childhood education in many countries, the opportunities for parents and other family members to be part of the development of respectful, collaborative relationships with their children’s early childhood educators a...
Kompetenzmanagement für die Unternehmenskommunikation
Juliane Kiesenbauer stellt die Ergebnisse der ersten großangelegten Studie zum Thema Personalentwicklung in Kommunikationsabteilungen vor. Sie leitet einen mehrdimensionalen Kompetenzbegriff interdisziplinär her und eröffnet die Professionalitätsdebatte für den expandierenden Wissensberuf mit Blick auf die Interaktion zwischen Kommunikationsexperten und ihren Klienten. Die Bedeutung des Personalmanagements für ein professionelles Kommunikationshandeln in Organisationen wird ausführlich begründet. Es zeigt sich, dass Unternehmen ein leistungsfähiges Kompetenzmanagement aufbauen müssen, um Kommunikatoren zukunftsorientiert weiterzuentwickeln. Fallstudien in fünf Großunternehmen liefern eine Vielzahl von Umsetzungshinweisen.
Bewegungskompetenz
Das Buch untersucht, wann Menschen im Sportklettern als kompetent gelten: Welche Fähigkeiten Menschen entwickeln, welche Motivation sie aufweisen und wann und wodurch andere ihnen Anerkennung entgegen bringen. Anhand von Kompetenzmarkern (wie der Route, dem Schwierigkeitsgrad und der Felswand) werden Menschen in Anfänger, Fortgeschrittene und Profis differenziert. Obwohl jeder Mensch (irgendwie) klettern kann, gelten Frauen als fähiger, Männer hingegen als motivierter. Mit steigendem Kompetenzniveau nehmen jedoch die Geschlechterdifferenzierungen ab. So wird mit Blick auf die Kooperationsnotwendigkeit die Bewegungskompetenz relevanter als die Geschlechterdifferenzierung. Im Vergleich zu anderen Kletterdisziplinen entfernen sich die Geschlechterarrangements im Sportklettern zwar nicht grundsätzlich, doch aber zunehmend von traditionellen Vorstellungen.
Fragmentierte Teilhabe. Partizipationsgestaltung in stationären erzieherischen Hilfen
Das Buch stellt eine Verbindung zwischen organisationalem und professionellem Handeln her und setzt sich mit grundlegenden neueren Diskursen und aktuellen Bezügen zu Organisation, Management und Profession auseinander. Im Rahmen der Implementierung eines partizipativen Handlungsmodells zur Umsetzung der Hilfeplanung in den stationären erzieherischen Hilfen (IHPS) wird deutlich, welche Möglichkeiten aber auch Grenzen dem Handeln der Fach- und Machtpromotoren gegeben sind.
