(K)ein Hindernis!?
Fachkräfte mit Migrationsgeschichte in der Erwachsenenbildung
Wien , Löcker , 2014 , 301 Seiten
Schlagworte: Österreich, Erwachsenenbildner, Migrationshintergrund, Diversity Management, Antidiskriminierung, Reform, Partizipation, Studie Die Studie, die diesem Band zu Grunde liegt, untersuchte den Zugang von ErwachsenenbildnerInnen mit Migrationsgeschichte (in erster und zweiter Generation) zu Beschäftigung in österreichischen Weiterbildungsinstitutionen. Die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema der Repräsentation – ein Indikator für Anerkennung, politische und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe – stellt einen Fokus des vorliegenden Buches dar. Weitere Schwerpunkte liegen auf der Auseinandersetzung mit Selbst- und Fremdbildern der Fachkräfte in Bezug auf den Einfluss ihrer Migrationsbiographien sowie ihre vielschichtigen Handlungsstrategien im professionellen Umfeld. Die Ergebnisse, die auf Fragebogenerhebungen, qualitativen Interviews mit MigrantInnen wie auch mit VertreterInnen von Bildungseinrichtungen basieren, verweisen unter anderem auf Mechanismen institutioneller Diskriminierung, die Bedeutung sozialen Kapitals, aber ebenso auf förderliche Praxen in Institutionen. Auf Grundlage der empirischen Ergebnisse sowie der theoretischen Auseinandersetzung mit Konzeptionen des Diversity Management, der interkulturellen Öffnung sowie des Abbaus institutioneller Diskriminierung wurden Leitlinien und Empfehlungen für antidiskriminatorische Reformen in der Erwachsenenbildung abgeleitet.

A world of difference?
Research on higher and vocational education in Germany and England
München , Utz , 2014 , 234 Seiten
Schlagworte: Großbritannien, Deutschland, Schule, Hochschule, Hochschulbildung, Berufsbildung, Bologna-Prozess This volume investigates the policy agenda and its impact on educational practice in England and Germany. It draws on a number of research projects into reform in higher and vocational education in these two national contexts. This research argues that on-going reform in the two countries has emphasized the intra-national diversification of the institutional frameworks in which educational practice is shaped, often with little or only superficial reference to the international context. Despite some similarities in the development of higher and vocational education in the two countries, this book highlights the continued importance of culture-specific policy formation and reception processes.

Developing and validating test items
New York [u.a.] , Routledge , 2013
Schlagworte: Vereinigte Staaten, Hochschule, Leistungsmessung, Prüfung, Test, Entwicklung, Bewertung Since test items are the building blocks of any test, learning how to develop and validate test items has always been critical to the teaching-learning process. As they grow in importance and use, testing programs increasingly supplement the use of selected-response (multiple-choice) items with constructed-response formats. This trend is expected to continue. As a result, a new item writing book is needed, one that provides comprehensive coverage of both types of items and of the validity theory underlying them. This book is an outgrowth of the author's previous book, Developing and Validating Multiple-Choice Test Items, 3e (Haladyna, 2004). That book achieved distinction as the leading source of guidance on creating and validating selected-response test items. Like its predecessor, the content of this new book is based on both an extensive review of the literature and on its author's long experience in the testing field. It is very timely in this era of burgeoning testing programs, especially when these items are delivered in a computer-based environment. Key features include: Comprehensive and Flexible--No other book so thoroughly covers the field of test item development and its various applications. Focus on Validity--Validity, the most important consideration in testing, is stressed throughout and is based on the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, currently under revision by AERA, APA, and NCMEIllustrative Examples--The book presents various selected and constructed response formats and uses many examples to illustrate correct and incorrect ways of writing items. Strategies for training item writers and developing large numbers of items using algorithms and other item-generating methods are also presented. Based on Theory and Research--A comprehensive review and synthesis of existing research runs throughout the book and complements the expertise of its authors"— (Verlag)

Developing Critical Professional Practice in Education
Leicester , NIACE , 2014
Schlagworte: Großbritannien, Erwachsenenbildung, Erwachsenenbildner, Professionalisierung, Kritische Pädagogik, Modell What does it mean to be a professional in education and in other sectors where education is a focus? How can professional development techniques be implemented in a variety of settings to best effect? Over the last decade many shifts in individual professional identity and sector requirements in education have been evident. This book engages with current debates and presents a new model – critical professional development – involving several new concepts which are mapped clearly to practice and covering the necessary techniques and approaches. Key organisational challenges and possibilities in implementation are highlighted. In outlining the new model, the text discusses theories and perspectives of critical professional development in education, from policy to practice. Case studies from a range of education sectors convey unique and richly textured examples of successful professional practice, providing strong links between teaching and learning and professional development, with approaches that can be widely adopted and applied in different settings. Developing Critical Professional Practice in Education will be of value to education practitioners in all areas, including managers, course leaders and developers, teachers and tutors, but also more widely for those with an interest in professional development, including HR staff.

Education governance for the twenty-first century
overcoming the structural barriers to school reform
Washington, D.C. , Brookings Institution Press , 2013
Schlagworte: Vereinigte Staaten, Bildungswesen, Steuerung, Bildungspolitik, Bildungsreform, Schulreform America's fragmented, decentralized, politicized, and bureaucratic system of education governance is a major impediment to school reform. In this important new book, a number of leading education scholars, analysts, and practitioners show that understanding the impact of specific policy changes in areas such as standards, testing, teachers, or school choice requires careful analysis of the broader governing arrangements that influence their content, implementation, and impact. Education Governance for the Twenty-First Century comprehensively assesses the strengths and weaknesses of what remains of the old in education governance, scrutinizes how traditional governance forms are changing, and suggests how governing arrangements might be further altered to produce better educational outcomes for children. Paul Manna, Patrick McGuinn, and their colleagues provide the analysis and alternatives that will inform attempts to adapt nineteenth and twentieth century governance structures to the new demands and opportunities of today.

Rausch, Sebastian
Lernen regierbar machen
eine diskursanalytische Perspektive auf Beiträge der Europäischen Union zum Lebenslangen Lernen
Wiesbaden , Springer VS , 2015 , 195 Seiten
Schlagworte: Europäische Union, Bildungspolitik, Lebenslanges Lernen, Bildungsforschung Sebastian Rausch legt aus diskursanalytischer Perspektive die grundlegenden Rationalitäten des bildungspolitischen Konzeptes Lebenslangen Lernens offen. Die untersuchten Beiträge der Europäischen Union entwerfen ein dramatisiertes Wandelszenario, auf dessen Basis Programme für Lebenslanges Lernen verbreitet werden. Durch die quantifizierbare Darstellung mithilfe von Indikatoren und Benchmarks sowie die postulierte Bedeutung für wirtschaftliches Wachstum und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe werden Subjektivierungsangebote gemacht, die eine Verpflichtung zur Teilnahme am Lebenslangen Lernen implizieren. So gerät das Lernen des Einzelnen über die Lebensspanne in den Blick des Regierens. Der Autor liefert einen kritischen Beitrag zur Klärung der Rahmenbedingungen, mit denen Praxis und Wissenschaft der Erwachsenenbildung konfrontiert sind bzw. die sie mitgestalten sollen. Dazu legt der Autor einen foucaultschen Diskursbegriff zugrunde und passt ihn mit methodologischen Überlegungen der wissenssoziologischen Diskursanalyse an den Forschungsgegenstand an. (Verlag)

Men Learning Through Life
Leicester , NIACE , 2014
Schlagworte: Internationaler Vergleich, Industriestaaten, Männerbild, Mann, Lebenslanges Lernen, Partizipation, Wohlbefinden, Arbeitsloser Concerns about men's attitudes to and involvement in lifelong and life-wide learning have recently emerged in many countries. There is a growing interest in finding ways to increase men's participation and promote practices that will contribute to men's learning and wellbeing, particularly in contexts and life stages for men beyond paid work. Men Learning Through Life, the definitive text on this subject, showcases expert international contributions presenting and examining evidence from theory, research, policy and practice, illustrated with case studies. As an implicitly connected issue, the book also presents evidence and builds a case for the initial education of boys to receive particular attention, in order to break intergenerational cycles of aversion to learning for some men and some communities. The book will inform national and international policies and practices related to the learning and wellbeing of men. This is of particular importance in the current context of rising men's unemployment as an outcome of the recent and ongoing global financial crisis; population ageing; early withdrawal of predominantly working-class men from paid work; and concerns about men's functional literacies, health and wellbeing in many developed nations.

Pursuit of Excellence in a Networked Society
Theoretical and Practical Approaches Coming from the Conference Evoking Excellence in Higher Education and Beyond
Münster [u.a.] , Waxmann , 2014 , 284 Seiten
Schlagworte: Interkulturalität, Hochschulbildung, Unterrichtsmethode, Informationsgesellschaft, Globalisierung, E-Learning, Hochbegabung, Kongress Pursuit of Excellence in a Networked Society gives an overview of research and practice, describing and exploring efforts toward continuous improvement in programming to promote excellence. The talent development of students and teachers is a hot topic in today’s knowledge-based society which increasingly demands innovative, reflective, and globally-aware citizens. Educational programmes especially designed to prepare academically motivated students for their future role now wrap around the globe. Therefore, in order to support continuous growth and opportunities for challenging our advanced learners, we have opened up new opportunities for sharing knowledge and to encourage the building up of partnerships and conversations between researchers and teachers. The Research Centre for Talent Development in Higher Education and Society, headed by Marca Wolfensberger and based at Hanze University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, organised the first international conference “Evoking Excellence in Higher Education and Beyond”. As Joseph Renzullli says in the foreword, this conference brought together scholars and educators from around the world to share their work in promoting high-level learning experiences. Presenters discussed their research and practical efforts in honours programmes, gifted programmes, and other contexts aimed at promoting advanced learning for advanced learners. This book offers a selection of the work of 59 of those presenting at this conference. Across six chapters, the following topics are discussed: teaching strategies, culture of excellence, students’ perspectives, professional excellence, ethics and intercultural perspectives, and giftedness across educational sectors. The book offers readers a comprehensive view of the field of excellence in education as well as an overview for readers interested in setting-up initiatives to foster excellence among their own students.
