"This book studies the ”grey area” of the success story of rural lending libraries in the Nordic countries through the activities of people’s libraries in one area of Central Finland. The study explores the influence of social, cultural, geographical and economic phenomena, such as the spread of revivalist movements, on the reading habits of the local population and reveals interesting reasons why the establishment of elementary schools and popular libraries and the growth of functional literacy did not automaticallyincrease the informational capital of the common people of remote regions or lead to their social advancement. This study represents a methodological experiment in describing the life history of a people’s library. The combination of collective biographical and transnational comparative methods with rarely utilized original sources in this study is innovative and has not been used before in Finnish historical research on functional literacy and popular libraries. The advantage of the comparison is that it reveals the attitudes to libraries that were characteristic of each of the cultures involved.For the people of the Finnish countryside in the late nineteenth century, libraries represented a way of acquiring new information that was still strange and unwelcome. The distribution of immaterial capital was extremely unevenwith regard to age, gender and social rank. In the earlier Finnish research has not very often been analysed, how the communal status of the peasant reader and his or her personal networks in the local community affected the quality of his or her reading habits. This book shows, that the location of the library in its local community and on the other hand the status and position of its customers in their networks, had a great significance on the use of the library and thus to the improvement of reading skills."

Nachhaltige Bildung in der Grundschule kann unter mehreren Blickwinkeln betrachtet werden: In einem weiten Begriffsverständnis bezieht sich das Thema auf nachhaltige Bildungsprozesse im Sinne einer langfristigen Verfügbarkeit. Dies spielt für die Grundschule als erste Schule mit ihrem Auftrag der grundlegenden Bildung eine besondere Rolle. Gleichzeitig ist ein enges Begriffsverständnis mit eingeschlossen, welches die Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung aus einer ökologischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Perspektive betrachtet. Dabei zielt das Handeln auf eine nachhaltiger und gerechter gestaltete Gegenwart und Zukunft. Der vorliegende Band stellt Beiträge der 30. Jahrestagung der Kommission Grundschulforschung und Pädagogik der Primarstufe zusammen, welche im September 2022 in Regensburg stattfand und das Thema "Nachhaltige Bildung in der Grundschule" adressierte.

This thesis study how women in 18th century Sweden used reading and writing and how these skills could be a source of income. Historians have studied how many could read during this period or how writing was taught in the parish school. How these skills were used have, however, been overlooked. The main questions are : How, and in which circumstances, did women use reading and writing ? Who were these women ? What type of return did reading and writing have ? To study how literacy was used is not without difficulty. The traces are often scattered in different types of source material. Several types of sources material have therefore been analyzed. Material like moving certificates, funeral sermons, personals, account books, verifications, church protocols, contracts, court records, recipes amongst others have been used. This thesis shows that women used reading and writing in different ways. There were not a question of one type of literacy but different types of literacies - it depended on the situation. A writing ability that was limited in one situation could be sufficient in another. By focus on social practice, this thesis argues that women's reading and writing could have different types of return depending on individual and situation.
