Abstract

Aus einer sozialökologischen Perspektive nähert sich diese Studie der Frage, mit welchen Ausgrenzungsrisiken junge Aussiedler und Aussiedlerinnen beim Übergang von der allgemeinbildenden Schule in die berufliche Ausbildung/Lehre konfrontiert sind und mit welchen Bearbeitungsmodi sie hierauf reagieren. Die Analyse, die sowohl Sequenzmusteranalysen nach der Optimal Matching-Methode, Regressionsanalysen im Mehrebenendesign und rekonstruktive  Analysen anhand der Dokumentarischen Methode verwendetet, führte zu dem Schluss, dass herkömmliche Erklärungsmodelle zu kurz greifen. Vielmehr zeigte sich, das für künftige Forschung im Bereich migrationsbezogener Disparitäten in den Übergängen, figurationssoziologische Analysen angezeigt sind.     Der Inhalt Einleitung.- Gegenstandsbestimmung.- Erklärungsansätze für migrationsbezogene Disparitäten in den Ausbildungsmarktbeteiligungen.- Theoretische und methodische Konzeption der Studie.- Empirischer Teil I: Verlaufsanalyse.- Empirischer Teil II: Multivariate Analyse.- Empirischer Teil III: Qualitative Analyse.- Zusammenfassung und Schlussbetrachtung.   Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der Erziehungswissenschaft, Bildungswissenschaften und Soziologie.- Bildungsverantwortliche und Verantwortliche für Migrations- und Integrationsfragen in Bund und Ländern.   Der Autor Dr. Jörg Eulenberger ist Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Institut für Soziologie der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg.

Abstract

Vergleichsarbeiten, Einheitliche Prüfungsanforderungen (EPA), Zentralabitur und Maturitätsreform – Standardisierung spielt in unserem Bildungssystem eine zunehmend größere Rolle. Vor diesem Hintergrund verfolgen die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes die aktuellen Entwicklungen in der gymnasialen Oberstufe. Von besonderem Interesse ist die Frage, welche Auswirkungen Standardisierung auf die individuellen Bildungsprozesse von Schülerinnen und Schülern haben und auf die Gestaltungsspielräume von Lehrkräften, auf den Unterricht und auf den höchsten allgemeinbildenden Schulabschluss. Bezogen auf die Zukunft von Abitur und Matura wird diskutiert, ob eine Zunahme an Standardisierung zu mehr Qualität führt und zu einer Erhöhung der Vergleich­barkeit der Abschlüsse.   Der Inhalt: Standardisierung von Abitur und Matura.- Bildung und Standardisierung.- Ansprüche von Lernen in der gymnasialen Oberstufe   Die Zielgruppen: Bildungsforscher/innen.- Erziehungswissenschaftler/innen.- Lehrer/innen.- Referendar/innen.- Studierende   Die Herausgeber/innen: Dorit Bosse, Professorin für Schulpädagogik mit dem Schwerpunkt Gymnasiale Oberstufe an der Universität Kassel Franz Eberle, Professor für Gymnasialpädagogik an der Universität Zürich Barbara Schneider-Taylor, Professorin für Schulpädagogik unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Höheren Schulen an der Universität Wien.

Abstract

This book emanated primarily from concerns that the mathematical capabilities of young children continue to receive inadequate attention in both the research and instructional arenas. Research over many years has revealed that young children have sophisticated mathematical minds and a natural eagerness to engage in a range of mathematical activities.  As the chapters in this book attest, current research is showing that young children are developing complex mathematical knowledge and abstract reasoning a good deal earlier than previously thought.  A range of studies in prior to school and early school settings indicate that young learners do possess cognitive capacities which, with appropriately designed and implemented learning experiences, can enable forms of reasoning not typically seen in the early years.  Although there is a large and coherent body of research on individual content domains such as counting and arithmetic, there have been remarkably few studies that have attempted to describe characteristics of structural development in young students’ mathematics.  Collectively, the chapters highlight the importance of providing more exciting, relevant, and challenging 21st century mathematics learning for our young students.  The chapters provide a broad scope in their topics and approaches to advancing young children’s mathematical learning. They incorporate studies that highlight the importance of pattern and structure across the curriculum, studies that target particular content such as statistics, early algebra, and beginning number, and studies that consider how technology and other tools can facilitate early mathematical development. Reconceptualizing the professional learning of teachers in promoting young children’s mathematics, including a consideration of the role of play, is also addressed.

Abstract

This book draws on research findings on patterns in the last twenty years or so in order to argue for a theory of graded representations in pattern generalization. Pattern generalization encompasses the construction and justification of structures that give meanings to sequences of numerical and figural objects. While empirical studies conducted with different age-level groups have sufficiently demonstrated varying shifts in structural awareness and competence, which influence the eventual shape of an intended generalization, such shifts, however, are not necessarily permanent but parallel and graded, adaptive, and fundamentally distributed among a variety of cognitive and noncognitive sources that mutually influence each other. Thus, the emergence and complexity of the pattern generalization process cannot be reduced to a simple narrative of cognitive shifts from the arithmetic to the algebraic, from the recursive to the functional, from discerning details to perceiving properties, and so on and so forth. In this book, we pursue an alternative view of pattern generalization processing, that is, one that is not about permanent shifts or transition phases but graded and multimodal depending on individual learners’ experiences with patterns and, especially, the manner in which they perceive, think about, and act on them.     A nonlinear graded perspective offers a much more robust and dynamic understanding of the similarities and differences in patterning competence since it is sensitive to, and acknowledges, the varying learning conditions and opportunities that shape generalization processing and representational conversion. Empirical evidence from a variety of sources will be provided to demonstrate this emergent perspective. Further, instructional implications commingle with research knowledge throughout the book, providing researchers and teachers with usable information that will help them cope with issues they may encounter when they use patterns to engage learners in generalization activity, which involves various aspects of abstract, quantitative, model-driven, structural, and regularity thinking.  .

Abstract

Identity and diversity permeate teaching and learning. Technology-mediated learning environment designs are infused with cultural values, norms, and assumptions. In addition, age-related diversity mediates interactions, learning, perceptions of instruction, self-regulation, and experience with technology. Individual instructors and/or instructional designers are both cultural insiders and cultural outsiders to diverse groups of online learners. Learning difficulties are likely to arise when underlying pedagogical values, norms, and epistemologies in an online learning setting are culturally inappropriate or ineffective for a learner group. Instructors and learners are usually unaware of how identity and diversity manifest in teaching and learning, and hence experiencing challenges in negotiating academic norms. With limited empirical research available about online teaching and learning across culture and age, this book presents the findings of a two-year study in exploring an inclusive (i.e., multicultural and intergenerational) instructional design approach for online learning. The book provides readers an overall understanding of epistemological and pragmatic differences in how students from different cultures and generation groups learning online. Data-driven suggestions on the cultural analysis, design, and facilitation of an inclusive online learning environment are provided. Any professional in the area of online teaching and learning, researchers and educators alike, will benefit from the insights into cross-cultural and intergenerational teaching and learning provided.

Abstract

This book offers insights into the exciting dynamics permeating creative arts education in the Greater China region, focusing on the challenges of forging a future that would not reject, but be enriched by its Confucian and colonial past. Today’s ‘Greater China’ – comprising China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan – has grown into a vibrant and rapidly transforming region characterized by rich historical legacies, enormous dynamism and exciting cultural metamorphosis. Concomitant with the economic rise of China and widespread calls for more ‘creative’ and ‘liberal’ education, the educational and cultural sectors in the region have witnessed significant reforms in recent years. Other factors that will influence the future of arts education are the emergence of a ‘new’ awareness of Chinese cultural values and the uniqueness of being Chinese.

Abstract

This volume provides a multi-faceted and critical analysis of the Singapore curriculum in relation to globalization. First, it details reform initiatives established by the Singapore government to meet the challenges posed by globalization. Next, Globalization and the Singapore Curriculum presents how these reforms have been translated into programs, school subjects and operational frameworks and then examines, in turn, how well these have been implemented in schools and classrooms across the country. Through this examination, the book reveals how the initiatives, together with their curricular translation and classroom enactment, reflect on the one hand global features and tendencies and, on the other, distinct national traditions, concerns and practices. It brings to light a set of issues, problems and challenges that not only concern policymakers, educators and reformers in Singapore but also those in other countries as well. Written by curriculum scholars, policy analysts, researchers and teacher educators, Globalization and the Singapore Curriculum offers an up-to-date reference for postgraduate students, scholars and researchers in the areas of curriculum and instruction, comparative education, educational sociology, educational policy and leadership in Singapore, the Asia Pacific region and beyond. It also offers a vital contribution to the story of modern education around the globe: providing international students, scholars and researchers valuable insights into curriculum and curriculum reform for the 21st century.
