Book SynopsisDeutschland ist fër Peru der wichtigste Handelspartner fër die Einfuhr hochwertiger technischer Produkte sowie Abnehmer peruanischer Rohstoffe sowie landwirtschaftlicher Erzeugnisse. Seit Jahrzehnten ist Peru zudem ein Empfängerland im Rahmen der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit.Peru ist kulturell, politisch und gesellschaftlich einerseits stark von der kolonialen Vergangenheit - beginnend mit der Landung des spanischen Eroberers Francisco Pizarro im Jahre 1532 an den Kësten Perus -, geprägt, andererseits von den wechselhaften politischen Entwicklungen in Sëdamerika und den Beziehungen Perus zu seinen großen Nachbarländern Argentinien und Brasilien. Die Peruaner haben im Laufe ihrer Geschichte eine sehr eigenständige Kultur entwickelt, die ihr Denken und Verhalten sowie ihre Wahrnehmung und Empfindungen in einer Art und Weise geprägt hat, die sich deutlich von der ihrer deutschen Partner unterscheidet. So geraten Deutsche in der Begegnung, in der Kommunikation und Kooperation mit Peruanern immer wieder in Situationen, in denen sie auf unerwartete Reaktionsweisen treffen, die sie nicht nachvollziehen können und auch nicht verstehen. Dies fëhrt zur Verunsicherung, zum Orientierungsverlust und im Endeffekt zu erheblichen Stressreaktionen.Dieses Buch basiert auf einer Fëlle von Erfahrungen, die Deutsche in mehrjähriger Zusammenarbeit mit Peruanern gewonnen haben. Das Trainingsprogramm bereitet anhand kulturell bedingter kritischer Interaktionssituationen auf den Arbeitsaufenthalt in Peru vor.

Peter Lang AG Musical Development from a Lifespan Perspective
Book SynopsisAs a part of the general human development, musical abilities start to develop before birth and end virtually with death. Every human being has a musical biography containing his or her musical experiences, potentials and activities. Up to the present, research on music abilities and biographies from a lifespan perspective is scarce. This volume presents insights into different aspects of the lifespan development of professional instrumentalists and singers. Ten empirical studies deal with topics like the stages of career development of professional musicians, the development of the singing voice, musical expertise and others. They are of interest for musicians, music teachers, musicologists and other people, who are interested in the developmental psychology of music.

Peter Lang AG «Re-Engineering» Dual Training – The Malaysian
Book Synopsis«Re-Engineering» Dual Training – The Malaysian Experience shows how a new industrial country is successfully pursuing the aim to ensure the extremely swift increase of economic development by initiatives and concepts for the qualification of skilled workers. This publication reflects the analysis of best practice in training which centers around the workplace in lead countries as well as the philosophy, policies and procedures of the emerging Malaysian National Dual Training System. Excellence in high-tech work must be based on excellence in training. Training based on targeting specific competencies was seen as a way to achieve this excellence. However, this apparently logical approach, which seemed to make it the panacea for meeting today’s pressing high-tech training needs, has failed to keep its promise. Yet, its undisputable contribution to the development of highly effective training has been to create awareness that the necessary accountability of training can only be secured through the definition of occupational standards. However, when they only reflect the immediate work which has to be carried out at the workplace, occupational standards seemingly fall short. The rapidly changing context of work also needs to be reflected, and therefore a new focus on the workprocess is needed to guide the necessary reorientation in training.Trade ReviewWe will need more thought-leaders, creators and innovators to achieve our aspirations.

Peter Lang AG Educational Challenges Regarding Military Action
Book SynopsisThe essays presented in this issue provide an international overview of military-pedagogical thinking and acting. They reflect the sometimes close correspondence between the answers provided by military scholars to questions related to the content and function of military ethics and morale. These answers are so comprehensive as to suggest themselves as a starting point for further deliberations on military pedagogy but also in the fields of other applied pedagogic specialties. The authors who have contributed to this book make it clear, as a group, how the national defence of peace and freedom may be transformed into a pertinent international responsibility and competence for the safeguarding of world peace.Table of ContentsContents: Philip J.

Peter Lang AG World Trends in Education for Sustainable
Book SynopsisIt is widely acknowledged that sustainable development is a long-term goal, which both individuals and institutions (and countries!) need to pursue. This important theme is characterized by an intrinsic complexity, since it encompasses ecological or environmental considerations on the one hand, and economic matters, social influences and political frameworks on the other. This makes provisions in respect of education for sustainable development a particularly challenging task, but one which is feasible and achievable, provided the right elements are put into place. This book is an attempt to foster the cause of education for sustainable development, by documenting and disseminating experiences from different parts of the world, where learning for, about and through the principles of sustainability is taking place, in various sets and contexts, in both industrialized and developing nations. A special feature of this book is that it not only presents a wide range of philosophies, approaches, methods and analyses with respect to education for sustainable development across the world, but also documents and disseminates concrete case studies, which show how education for sustainable development may be realized in practice.Table of ContentsContents: Walter Leal Filho: Applied Sustainable Development: A Way Forward in Promoting Sustainable Development in Higher Education Institutions – Evangelos Manolas/Stilianos Tampakis: Applying the Richard E.

Peter Lang AG Integration of Refugees into the European
Book SynopsisFor the first time in the history of the EU, from 2002 to 2007 asylum seekers and refugees had been explicitly considered in an employment programme trough EQUAL. Despite the success of this programme, EQUAL as a participant-oriented programme was not restarted after 2007. This book analyzes the results achieved by EQUAL with respect to the EU Council Directive laying down minimum standards for the reception of asylum seekers as well as for the promotion of access to education and employment. Based on case studies in four European cities, the question of access to education and training programmes as well as to the labour market for refugees and asylum seekers is examined. The legal, political, structural and individual conditions for the success of such measures are also highlighted.Table of ContentsContents: Louis Henri Seukwa: General introduction – Margherita Buchetti/Rita Cardini/Daria Franceschini/Chiara Trevisan/Maria Omodeo Nicola Solimano/Claudia Zaccai: The paradox of being a recognized refugee in Italy: Living in an open prison, Florence, Tuscany – Pamela Clayton/Paul McGill/Sarah-Jane Pretty: A life in limbo: Barriers to VET and labour market integration for asylum-seekers waiting for the granting of Leave to Remain – Maren Gag: Vocational integration of refugees and Asylum-seekers in Hamburg - roundabout routes from model to structure – Maren Gag/Joachim Schroeder: Refugee Monitoring: Research status, conceptual basis and implementation proposals, taking the example of the City of Hamburg – Maren Gag/Joachim Schroeder: Refugee Monitoring in Hamburg - first steps taken! – Eva Norström/Anna Norberg: The reception and introduction of asylum seekers and new arrivals in Gothenburg.

Peter Lang AG Spuren Von Flucht Und Asyl in
Book SynopsisEs geht um die Frage, welche Aneignungsprozesse der deutschen Sprache sich bei Geflüchteten im jungen Erwachsenenalter rekonstruieren lassen. Der Beantwortung liegt eine soziokulturelle Auffassung von Sprachaneignung zugrunde, die den Lebens- und Lernkontext als konstitutiv für den Spracherwerb erachtet. Datengrundlage sind biografisch-narrative Interviews mit Geflüchteten an Berufsschulen, die narrationsanalytisch ausgewertet wurden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Aneignung des Deutschen eng mit weiteren biografischen Entwicklungen verknüpft ist, wie dem Zugang zu beruflicher Bildung. Zudem wird deutlich, dass ein Leben vor dem Hintergrund von Flucht und Asyl Auswirkungen auf die Zweitsprachbiografie hat. Aus den Forschungserkenntnissen lassen sich Ansätze zur Unterstützung von Sprachaneignungsprozessen bei Geflüchteten in der beruflichen Bildung und darüber hinaus ableiten.

Peter Lang AG Freiheit der Ausuebung erwerbsberuflicher
Book SynopsisDie Freiheit der Ausübung erwerbsberuflicher Tätigkeiten war von Beginn an prägendes Element der europäischen Integration. Tradierte Reglementierungssystematiken und Denkmuster führen jedoch nach wie vor zum ungerechtfertigten Fordern von Qualifikationen. Für nicht wenige wird so die Ausübung eines erlernten Berufs erschwert oder gar verwehrt. Kann es gelingen, qualifikationsfordernde Reglementierungen zukunftsfähig auszugestalten? Nach grundlegender Untersuchung der Entwicklung europäischer Verkehrsfreiheiten, einer ausführlichen Betrachtung europäischer Grundgarantien als Gestaltungsprinzip sowie der exemplarischen Analyse hemmender nationaler Qualifikationsforderungen werden hierzu ein berufswissenschaftlicher Lösungsansatz entwickelt sowie Aspekte seiner Umsetzung dargelegt.

Uniwersytet Jagiellonski, Wydawnictwo Vocational Interests of Youth in Ecuador –
Book SynopsisThis methodologically sound psychometric tool has been handed to Ecuadorian psychologists and teachers as a guide in the career counselling field. The tool will have a significant impact on the democratization of youth, assisting them to make well-targeted choices when planning their education and career. The authors’ study may be viewed as pioneering work, due to its consideration of the significant cultural and geographic regional differentiation among graduates from the Pacific coast, the Andes, the Amazon rainforest and the Galapagos Islands. Reaching to the classics of literature on the subject, the authors have performed a momentous work, which is the construction of a psychometric tool that will be helpful in diagnosing career interests in the entire population of Ecuadorian youth. Worth additional acknowledgement are the high reliability indicators of the career interests questionnaire conducted on a representative and large study group, as well as the defined psychometric accuracy of the scale. This publication makes a civilizational quantum leap in the education of Ecuadorian youth, guaranteeing them a career choice that corresponds to their interests and ambitions. This pioneering publication on the Polish and world markets confirms the fact that Polish psychologists have the capability to “export” the psychometric school of thought to the Latin American region, with all of the scientific, social and humanitarian consequences involved.Trade ReviewThe proposals formulated by the authors both regarding the results of empirical research on the occupational preferences of Ecuadorian youth and the stages of the research tool construction and standards, especially its psychometric values (reliability, validity) are not only based on reasonable theoretical and methodological premises, but can also be the basis of the counseling practice of youth in all provinces of Ecuador. -- Adam Biela, Catholic University of Lublin

Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Preparing and accessing decent work amongst rural
Book SynopsisThis study aims to assess the skills and training needs of rural youth in Cambodia and to develop recommendations on how to foster their access to decent employment. The needs assessment was conducted in the provinces of Kampong Chhnang, Battambang and Kampong Cham. The study highlights the limited decent employment opportunities that currently exist along various agricultural value chains in rural Cambodia. Poverty and the structural problems of the agricultural sector are the main barriers for youth in accessing decent rural employment. A substantial enhancement of the education system, combined with the provision of appropriate training services to ensure successful school-to-work transition, is seen as necessary to tackle these challenges. A well-balanced policy mix reflecting national and local circumstances can boost employment opportunities and create an environment that enables rural youth. Building on previous research on agriculture in Cambodia, this study argues that agricultural transformation requires promotion of agribusiness enterprises, support to community-managed farmer organizations and promotion of agropreneurs, as well as investment in agricultural and rural development, particularly in infrastructure, energy, water, education and health. Moreover, as most young people entering agriculture are self-employed and work as small-scale farmers, training in rural areas should focus on the skills required to be self-employed.

Springer International Handbook of Research in
Book SynopsisThe International Handbook of Research in Professional and Practice-based Learning discusses what constitutes professionalism, examines the concepts and practices of professional and practice-based learning, including associated research traditions and educational provisions. It also explores professional learning in institutions of higher and vocational education as well the practice settings where professionals work and learn, focusing on both initial and ongoing development and how that learning is assessed.The Handbook features research from expert contributors in education, studies of the professions, and accounts of research methodologies from a range of informing disciplines. It is organized in two parts. The first part sets out conceptions of professionalism at work, how professions, work and learning can be understood, and examines the kinds of institutional practices organized for developing occupational capacities. The second part focuses on procedural issues associated with learning for and through professional practice, and how assessment of professional capacities might progress. The key premise of this Handbook is that during both initial and ongoing professional development, individual learning processes are influenced and shaped through their professional environment and practices. Moreover, in turn, the practice and processes of learning through practice are shaped by their development, all of which are required to be understood through a range of research orientations, methods and findings. This Handbook will appeal to academics working in fields of professional practice, including those who are concerned about developing these capacities in their students. In addition, students and research students will also find this Handbook a key reference resource to the field. Table of Contents(A) Acknowledgments.- (B) Introduction.- Section 1.

Springer Verlag, Singapore The Art of Co-Creation: A Guidebook for
Book SynopsisThis book illustrates how to design and implement co-creation, a powerful form of collective creativity that harnesses the potential of teams and can generate breakthrough insights. Skilled leaders and facilitators can utilize this approach to unleash the creative potential of their organizations. Drawing from years of applied research, the authors bring together insights from the fields of design and organizational development into an evocative and pragmatic “how-to” guidebook. Taking a human-centred rather than process oriented perspective, the book argues that experience design separates true co-creation from other forms of collective efforts and design thinking. Collective moments of creative insight emerge from the space between, an experience of flow and synchronicity from which new ideas spring forth. How to create and hold this space is the secret to the art of co-creation. Collective breakthroughs require stakeholders to undergo a journey from the world of their existing expertise into spaces of new potential. It requires leaders moving from a position of dominating space to holding the space for others, and developing core capacities such as empathy and awareness so that teams can engage each other co-creatively. This book uncovers the secrets of this journey, enabling process designers to develop more effective programs.
