The contributions to the open access volume are comprehensive summaries of important research findings from the two comprehensive interdisciplinary longitudinal studies BiKS-3-18 and BiKS-8-18 conducted by the research unit "BiKS" (“Educational Processes, Development of Competencies, and Formation of Educational Decisions”) funded by the German Research Foundation. The aim of the book is to present selected important findings from these comprehensive longitudinal educational studies; in addition, the edition also aims to provide an overview of the design and measurements of the two surveys. The editors Professor Dr. Sabine Weinert is Emerita of Excellence at the Graduate Centre Trimberg Research Academy (TRAc) and former Chair of Psychology I - Developmental Psychology at the University of Bamberg.

"This is the first book to apply the sociology of Norbert Elias to the field of sociology of education, offering fruitful lines of research developed from the application of Elias's theoretical framework. Beginning by introducing Elias' theory to those who are unfamiliar with it, Lybeck goes on to explore ways his work can be applied to areas of education research including widening participation, education and the state and the development of knowledge. Topics discussed in detail include: the relationship between social control and self-control; the difference between involvement and detachment in research; and the concept of game-models to explain unintended consequences in education policy. Lybeck also situates Elias's thought alongside other key thinkers including Bourdieu, Foucault and Abbott, whose theories have been widely applied in education research. An Eliasian or 'figurational' sociology of education points to more historical, processual and post-critical approaches to education studies. As the first book to open up Elias' work to researchers and students in education, a range of familiar topics including identity, decolonization and globalization can be seen in a new light."

Engineering institutions worldwide are undergoing significant transformation as they work to adapt themselves to the learning needs of students in the 21st century, changing trends in the requirements of the industry and society, and growing concerns about issues related to sustainable development and climate change. Future engineering graduates must be equipped to tackle complex problems in society that are aligned with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There are increasing calls for engineering institutions to create quality learning experiences for students, enabling them to develop deeper learning skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, life-long learning, leadership skills, and the ability to work in teams. Engineering curricula must be made multidisciplinary, innovative, and outcome-driven by integrating evidence-based pedagogies and learning mechanisms. For this to happen, academic leaders must reimagine their institutions with significant changes at the administration, governance, and leadership levels. Establishing new-age institutions that meet international accreditation standards requires dynamic academic leaders at multiple levels who can work collaboratively to achieve the vision and mission of the institution. This book is an attempt to share key learnings from academic leaders from around the world on important trends emerging in engineering education. Aspiring academic leaders will get a glimpse of the thought process and vision of such leaders, how they strategize and support their institutions for the betterment of the students, and what kind of changes they are working on to keep up with the ever-evolving environment. The book is divided into four sections. Each section comprises multiple chapters written by different academic leaders that are based on their experiences of implementing best practices at their respective institutions. Section 1 - Governance and Leadership of Engineering Institutions Section 2 - Creating Quality Learning Experiences Section 3 - Preparing Institutions to become Knowledge Hubs for Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship Section 4 - Empowerment of Faculty and Students for the 21st Century The sections and chapters will be of great value to multiple stakeholders in leadership positions at engineering institutions including Presidents, Vice-Chancellors, Provosts, Directors, Deans, Heads of Departments and Faculty members aspiring to be academic leaders. Each chapter will be presented through case studies from successful programs initiated and pioneered at various engineering institutions across the globe.

Sally Peters erforscht anhand von qualitativen Interviews den Zusammenhang zwischen Armut und Überschuldung von jungen Erwachsenen. Die Autorin zeigt, dass Überschuldung im Zusammenhang mit gesellschaftspolitischen Problemlagen wie Erwerbslosigkeit, Armut, prekärer Beschäftigung, schwierigen Lebensereignissen sowie der Bewältigung von Entwicklungsaufgaben gesehen werden muss. Die Ausführungen über die Lebenslagen junger Erwachsener eröffnen dabei Perspektiven auf das Zusammenspiel von materiellen Ressourcen, individuellen Möglichkeiten und gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen. Es wird verdeutlicht, dass die Bewältigung von Schulden Lern- und Bildungsprozesse initiieren kann, umgekehrt aber auch Lern- und Bildungsprozesse eine Voraussetzung für die erfolgreiche Bewältigung eines Überschuldungsverlaufs sein können. Der Inhalt Junge Erwachsene und die Bewältigung prekärer Lebenslagen Sozialpädagogische Perspektiven auf Ver- und Überschuldung Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende aus den Bereichen Erziehungswissenschaft und Soziale Arbeit Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen aus den Bereichen Soziale Arbeit und Bildung Die Autorin Dr. Sally Peters, Sozialpädagogin, M.A. Soziale Arbeit, arbeitet als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Finanzdienstleistungen (iff) und ist Lehrbeauftragte in den Bereichen Einzelfallhilfe und Kommunikation in der Sozialen Arbeit.
