14 different countries, various research methods, 1 topic: Differentiated Instruction. With increasingly diverse student populations in schools, the establishment of inclusive classrooms has become a top international priority. Teachers around the world are urged to differentiate their instruction in order to support all students’ learning needs. Although there is research on the topic, there are still important gaps to explore, especially the underrepresented international research output. This book tackles such limitations and provides a first ever publication concerning global insights into differentiated instruction. A total of 14 countries from 5 continents provide empirical evidence, theoretical and practical approaches to the topic. The book wraps up with a contribution from Prof. Dr. John Hattie, University of Melbourne, who shares eight theses to help the continuing debate and research on differentiated instruction.
Technology-driven trends in the modern society have transformed the ways humans think and communicate. The latest technological artefacts and devices have a profound impact on the forms of interaction between individuals and also significantly influence the process of co construction of knowledge. The COVID pandemic induced experience of remote teaching has significantly contributed to the widespread use of digital technologies in teaching - learning processes, faculty communications, research collaborations, conferences and workshops. The crisis also led to an understanding of the uncertainty of returning to conventional normal and paved way for a new normal ushered by the COVID pandemic. S...

Der Ausbruch der COVID-19-Pandemie Anfang 2020 wirkte sich massiv auch auf den Bildungsbereich aus. In Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz wurden die Schulen geschlossen, was zu neuen Herausforderungen und vielen offenen Fragen führte. Bildungsforschende haben sich in dieser Situation zu dem Forschungsnetzwerk „Covid-19 Education Research“ (CovER) mit dem Ziel zusammengeschlossen, jene nationale und internationale Bildungsforschung, die die Folgen der COVID-19-Pandemie für die Bildung in den Mittelpunkt stellt, zu erfassen und den Diskurs zu bündeln. Die von 84 Autorinnen und Autoren aus dem CovER-Netzwerk vorgestellten Studien beziehen sich auf die Corona-Jahre 2020 bis 2022 und...
What does it actually mean to teach an inclusive mixed-ability class? From the author of the classic teacher text Commonsense Methods for Children with Special Needs this new book from Peter Westwood fully acknowledges what is feasible and useful to teachers in today’s inclusive classroom. This insightful teaching resource promotes a fully inclusive approach to teaching the common curriculum to all, while acknowledging differences among learners in relation to intelligence, gender, socioeconomic background, cultural background, language skills and disabilities. Drawing on the underlying principles of inclusive education, and on curriculum and learning theories, Westwood discusses in detail...
Anna-Lena Demi legt in diesem Buch ein Lehr- und Lernarrangement für einen inklusiven und symmedialen Literaturunterricht (ISLU) in der Grundschule vor, welches die Bereiche Inklusion, Literaturunterricht und Mediendidaktik integriert. Im Möglichkeitsraum Literaturunterricht können Schüler*innen aller Diversitätsdimensionen gemeinsam Literatur in medial vielfältiger Form erleben und selbstbestimmte Handlungspraxen entwickeln. Die empirischen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ISLU Schüler*innen ermöglicht, neue Rezeptions- und Produktionspraktiken souveräner zu nutzen und individuelle Formen kinderkulturellen Selbstausdrucks zu entwickeln und zeigen zugleich Potenziale für eine inklusive Medienbildung auf.
This handbook advocates a new approach to teacher evaluation as a cooperative effort undertaken by a group of professionals. Part 1 describes the need for changed teacher evaluation, and part 2 outlines ways to use multiple data sources, including student and parent reports, peer review of materials, student achievement results, teacher tests, documentation of professional activity, systematic observation, and administrator reports, as well as discussions of the teacher as curriculum designer and data sources to avoid. Part 3 describes tools for improved teacher evaluation, and the evaluation of other educators is outlined in part 4. School district responsibilities and activities are descri...
This book is a critical assessment of the knowledge base on educational effectiveness, covering a period of five decades of research. It formulates a “lean” theory of good schooling, and identifies and explains instances of “ineffectiveness”, such as low effect sizes of malleable conditions, for which expectations are highly strung. The book presents a systemic outlook on educational effectiveness and improvement, as it starts out from an integrated multi-level model that comprises system level, school level and instructional conditions. It offers a classification of school improvement strategies and scenarios for system level educational improvement. Above all, the analysis is very systematic, comprehensive and strongly grounded in theory. The book includes a case study analysis of various strands of improvement-oriented educational policy in the Netherlands as an illustration of some of the arguments used.
