Modern Language Association of America How Students Write: A Linguistic Analysis
Book SynopsisBroad generalizations about "people today" are a familiar feature of first-year student writing. How Students Write brings a fresh perspective to this perennial observation, using corpus linguistics techniques. This study analyzes sentence-level patterns in student writing to develop an understanding of how students present evidence, draw connections between ideas, relate to their readers, and, ultimately, learn to construct knowledge in their writing.Drawing on both first-year and upper-level student writing, the book examines the discourse of students at different points in their education. It also distinguishes between argumentative and analytic essays to explore the way school genres and assignments shape students' choices.In focusing on sentence-level features such as hedges ("perhaps") and boosters ("definitely"), this study shows how such rhetorical choices work together to open or close opportunities for thoughtful exchanges of ideas. Attention to these features can help instructors foster civil discourse, design effective assignments, and expose and question norms of higher education.Trade ReviewThis book fills a critical gap in our understanding of how undergraduates and early-career graduate students develop as academic writers and, crucially, why their writing evolves the way it does." - Dylan B. Dryer, University of Maine

Information Age Publishing Handbook on Personalized Learning for States,
Book SynopsisThe recent passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) presents new opportunities and greater flexibility in efforts to personalize learning for all children. The Handbook on Personalized Learning for States, Districts, and Schools provides insight and guidance on maximizing that new flexibility.Produced by the Center on Innovations in Learning (CIL), one of seven national content centers funded by the U.S. Department of Education, this volume suggests how teachers can enhance personalized learning by cultivating relationships with students and their families to better understand a child’s learning and motivation. Personalized learning also encourages the development of students’ metacognitive, social, and emotional competencies, thereby fostering students’ self?direction in their own education, one aimed at mastery of knowledge and skills and readiness for career and college.Chapters address topics across the landscape of personalized learning, including co?designing instruction and learning pathways with students; variation in the time, place, and pace of learning, including flipped and blended classrooms; and using technology to manage and analyze the learning process. The Handbook’s chapters include Action Principles to guide states, districts, and schools in personalizing learning.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Exploring Disciplinary Teaching Excellence in
Book SynopsisThis book explores disciplinary teaching excellence through a diverse range of student-staff partnership research projects. Despite being a highly contested term, ‘teaching excellence’ is something that universities aspire to and are expected to have. However, the editors and contributors argue that not only are definitions of excellence often broad and generic, but they lack nuanced understandings of disciplinary excellence in higher education. This book begins by unpacking some of these contested definitions of teaching excellence, followed by a series of co-authored chapters produced by students and staff who have undertaken research projects where they examine teaching excellence in their respective disciplinary areas. These chapters demonstrate that teaching excellence may be better understood as a process of becoming that is achieved through partnership between teachers and students. This book will be of interest and value to students, educators, and policy-makers concerned about teaching excellence, as well as scholars of student-staff partnerships.Table of ContentsForeword; Charmagne BarnesChapter 1: PrefaceLaura Barnett, Kieran Balloo, and Marion Heron Chapter 2: Exploring ‘excellence’ in disciplinary contexts through student-staff partnerships Laura Barnett, Marion Heron, Kieran Balloo, Malina Pricop and Sophie WilliamsChapter 3: What teaching excellence means to undergraduate students in their discipline Alfred Thumser and Julia Matyjasiak Chapter 4: Evaluating teaching excellence from a disciplinary perspective Charlotte Foreman and Ali MusawiChapter 5: Exploring notions of excellence in tutorials and lectures within the discipline Vasco Gabriel and Michelle LyChapter 6: Students as Co-Creators of Visual Mnemonics using LEGO: an evaluation of revision sessions using an adapted Lego® Serious Play® (LSP) methodology.Debbie Gooch, Rachel Stead, Daisy Haywood and Lewis JerromChapter 7: Promoting student engagement with mandatory course requirementsLisa Blazhevski, Orlando Caetano Nicola DallimoreChapter 8: Exploring teaching excellence in vocational training and acting: what role does it play in enabling student success?

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Life Skills Education for Youth: Critical
Book SynopsisThis open access volume critically reviews a diverse body of scholarship and practice that informs the conceptualization, curriculum, teaching and measurement of life skills in education settings around the world. It discusses life skills as they are implemented in schools and non-formal education, providing both qualitative and quantitative evidence of when, with whom, and how life skills do or do not impact young women’s and men’s lives in various contexts. Specifically, it examines the nature and importance of life skills, and how they are taught. It looks at the synergies and differences between life skills educational programmes and the way in which they promote social and emotional learning, vocational/employment education, and health and sexuality education. Finally, it explores how life skills may be better incorporated into education and how such education can address structures and relations of power to help youth achieve desired future outcomes, and goals set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Life skills education has gained considerable attention by education policymakers, researchers and educators as being the sine qua non for later achievements in life. It is nearly ubiquitous in global and national education policies, including the SDGs, because life skills are regarded as essential for a diverse set of purposes: reducing poverty, achieving gender equality, promoting economic growth, addressing climate change, fostering peace and global citizenship, and creating sustainable and healthy communities. Yet, to achieve these broad goals, questions persist as to which life skills are important, who needs to learn them, how they can be taught, and how they are best measured. This book addresses these questions.Table of ContentsSection 1: Examining Life Skills Education Scholarship and Programs for Youth.- 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Global Perspectives on Dialogue in the Classroom:
Book SynopsisThis book explores globally-informed, culturally-rooted approaches to dialogue in the classroom. It seeks to fill gaps in communication and education literature related to decolonizing dialogue and breaking binaries by decentering Eurocentric perspectives and providing space for dialogic practices grounded in cultural wealth of students and teachers. We first describe the book’s genesis, contextualize dialogue within the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and share guiding concepts of inclusion, intersectionality, and authenticity in dialogue and pedagogy. We also distinguish dialogue from other practices and times in which dialogue may not be possible. The book brings fresh and urgent perspectives from authors across different disciplines, including ceramics, religious studies, cultural studies, communication, family therapy, and conflict resolution. The chapters distill the idea of dialogue within contexts like a bible circle, university sculpture studio, trauma and peacebuilding program, and connect dialogue to teaching, learning, and emerging ideas of power disruption, in-betweenness, and relationality.

Springer International Publishing AG Deconstructing Doctoral Discourses: Stories and
Book SynopsisThis book identifies and challenges assumptions about the doctorate and the discourses associated with it. The editors and contributors subvert and transform the de facto assumptions that frame the ways in which 'the doctorate' is spoken and written, and thus underpin approaches to planning, conducting and evaluating doctoral research. Giving voice to doctoral students and supervisors, the book opens a pathway for their own stories: why students entered doctoral study, the understandings and experiences they gleaned from it, and the implications for their own character. The book questions what kinds of discourses help to construct contemporary doctoral research, and how these might be de- and reconstructed, and asks what doctoral study might look like in the future. Academics, students and practitioners alike will find an avenue into rigorous research design from reflective and insightful scholars who provide a voice for doctoral strategies for success.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Einfache Sprache in Zeiten des Wandels: Zur
Book SynopsisWas derzeit als Klimakatastrophe diskutiert wird, scheint nicht die einzige Bedrohung, der wir gegenüberstehen. Wissenschaften berichten ergänzend über den fatalen Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen und weitere Gefahren sozialer und politischer Art. Einiges spricht dafür, dass wir eine Situation erreichen, in der verständliche wissenschaftliche Expertise überlebensnotwendig wird. Zumindest theoretisch sind Demokratien als offene Gesellschaften imstande, auf diesen Rat zu reagieren. Sie müssen dazu einige Störfeuer abwehren, die auf den uninformierten Bürger setzen. Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnis, präsentiert in einer einfachen Sprache, kann dabei helfen. Das essential diskutiert dazu einige populärwissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen und schaut auf den immerwährenden Kampf des Neuen in der Wissenschaft gegen eine verkarstete Gesellschaft. Mit welchen schwerwiegenden Veränderungen wir rechnen müssen, zeigen Arbeiten des Wuppertaler Instituts. Wenn wir diese Transformation der Gesellschaft nicht in Angriff nehmen, werden die Konsequenzen sehr wahrscheinlich fatal sein.Table of ContentsFür den Apfelbaum zu früh.- Sand im Getriebe.- Die offene Gesellschaft.- Drei Profis schreiben für Laien.- Von heute in die Zukunft.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Kritisch-emanzipatorische Religionspädagogik:
Book SynopsisReligiöse Bildung findet in einem krisenhaften Umfeld statt, das religionspädagogisch etablierte Konzepte fundamental herausfordert. Unter Rückgriff auf fachgeschichtliche Ressourcen und aktuelle Debatten in den Bezugsdisziplinen der Religionspädagogik werden die Probleme, Potenziale und Perspektiven einer (neuen) kritisch-emanzipatorischen Religionspädagogik diskutiert. Besonders die religionspädagogische Reformdekade um 1968 gerät so in den Blick, weil in dieser der soziopolitische Kontext religiöser Bildung besonders intensiv reflektiert wurde.Trade Review“... lässt sich für den Band als Ganzen und für viele der Beiträge als einen Ankerpunkt für die Auseinandersetzungen um eine kritisch-emanzipatorische Religionspädagogik betrachten ...” (Marc Heidkamp, in: Wort und Antwort, Jg. 61, Heft 4, 2020)“... Das Buch ist klar strukturiert, jedem Abschnitt ist eine Hinführung von Gärtner und Herbst vorangestellt, am Ende werden alle Ergebnisse noch einmal gesammelt und kommentiert.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Lob der Vorlesung: Vorschläge zur Verständigung
Book SynopsisDas Buch klärt, wie eine hochschul- und wissenschaftsdidaktisch schlüssige Verbindung von Lehren und Lernen, Lehr- und Lernhandlungen aussehen sollte, und welche Rolle die Vorlesung in ihren verschiedenen Ausprägungen hierbei spielen kann. Die aufeinander abgestimmten Beiträge versuchen dabei – in einer dezidierten Gegenbewegung zu technokratischen, aktivistischen und postulatorischen Ansätzen der Hochschuldidaktik – die derzeit dominierenden Spannungsverhältnisse in diesem Bereich aufzugreifen, zu untersuchen und begrifflich wie empirisch gehaltvoll auszuleuchten. Es wird der Blick daraufhin geschärft, wie im Format „Vorlesung“ das Lehren einen zentralen Stellenwert erhält und in seiner Beziehung zum Lernen akzentuiert werden kann, ohne die Parolen eines „shift from teaching to learning“ unhinterfragt aufzunehmen.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Migrationsfamilien und Rassismus: Zwischen
Book SynopsisIm Hinblick auf transnationale Familienpraktiken arbeitet Miriam Hill heraus, wie Migrationsfamilien in flexibler und kreativer Weise Netzwerke nutzen, neue Lebenswege gehen und Strategien im Umgang mit Rassismus entwickeln. Dies ist für Migrationsfamilien angesichts von Diskriminierungen und Ausschließungspraxen zwingend notwendig, um ihr Leben multilokal zu gestalten und zukunftsorientiert agieren zu können. Bei den geführten Gruppendiskussionen mit Angehörigen von Migrationsfamilien zeigen sich vielfältige Lebensstile, hybride Zugehörigkeiten und transnationale Ressourcen. In diesem Sinne können Migrationsfamilien als WegbereiterInnen der Globalisierung betrachtet werden.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Bildungs- und Berufsvorstellungen von
Book SynopsisIm Zentrum des Sammelbands steht der Bildungsübergang von Bachelor- in Masterstudien, welcher durch die Studienstrukturreform des europäischen Hochschulraums seit über 20 Jahren besteht. Trotz des Ausmaßes der Umstellung in die dreigliedrige Studienarchitektur wurde dieser Übertrittsphase insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Situation der Hochschulen in Österreich bislang wenig Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet. Um der Komplexität der Entscheidungssituation beim Übertritt vom Bachelor zum Master Rechnung zu tragen, werden verschiedene Gruppen von Akteur*innen, deren institutionelle Einbettung und die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen sowie geltende Normen in den Blick genommen. Dazu präsentiert der Band neue Erkenntnisse aus Befragungen mit Studierenden und Studienverantwortlichen an der Universität Graz, mit Fokus auf die Situation in den Geisteswissenschaften, sowie aus der österreichischen Registerdatenforschung. Die Befunde liefern, ergänzend zur Hochschulstatistik, ein tieferes Verständnis der Bildungs- und Berufsvorstellungen und -wege von Bachelorabsolvent*innen. Vor dem Hintergrund teils rückläufiger Studierendenzahlen, dem Wettbewerb um Studierende sowie aktuellen bildungspolitischen Diskussionen füllt der Band ein Forschungsdesiderat und bietet Hochschulverantwortlichen eine empirisch fundierte Grundlage.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Unterrichtszentrierte Schulentwicklung: Schulen
Book SynopsisIn diesem Open-Access-Buch untersucht Marco Galle, wie Lehrpersonen und Schulleitende ihren Unterricht und ihre Schule so weiterentwickeln können, dass sich die persönlichen Voraussetzungen und Ziele der Schülerinnen und Schüler verstärkt berücksichtigen lassen. Die Ergebnisse einer Längsschnittanalyse von Leitfadeninterviews aus zehn Schweizer Schulen, die personalisierte Lernkonzepte eingeführt haben, zeigen zahlreiche Entwicklungstätigkeiten auf Unterrichts- und Schulebene. So wird die Qualität der Lernaufgaben verbessert oder es werden individuelle Coachingangebote geschaffen. Mittels einer darauf aufbauenden transformativen Mixed-Methods-Datenanalyse werden pädagogisch-psychologische Unterrichtsmerkmale eruiert, die Hinweise darauf geben, warum solche Entwicklungsprozesse scheitern oder gelingen.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Diskurs hin zu einer unterrichtszentrierten Schulentwicklung in Richtung personalisierten Lernens.- Personalisiertes Lernen als pädagogisch-psychologisches didaktisches Konzept.- Modell unterrichtszentrierter Schulentwicklung in Richtung personalisierten Lernens (uSpL-Modell).- Zusammenfassung und Forschungsfragen.- Methodisches Vorgehen.- Ergebnisse.- Diskussion und Ausblick.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Nachhaltigkeit und Social Media: Bildung für eine
Book SynopsisDas Konzept der Nachhaltigkeit erfährt in den letzten Jahren zunehmend Aufmerksamkeit in allen Lebensbereichen. Ob es um Stories zum Klimaschutz auf Instagram, Erklärvideos zur Kreislaufwirtschaft auf YouTube oder Tweets zur Armutsbekämpfung auf Twitter geht - längst hat das Thema auch Einzug in die aufmerksamkeitsstarke Welt von Social Media gefunden. Diese bieten bisher nie dagewesene Möglichkeiten der digitalen Vernetzung und des informellen Lernens. Dadurch rücken sie Nachhaltigkeit verstärkt aus der wissenschaftlichen Nische in den öffentlichen Diskurs.Dieser Sammelband verbindet die bisher zumeist getrennt gedachten Bereiche Nachhaltigkeit und Social Media. Welche nachhaltigen Themen dominieren in den sozialen Netzwerken? Wie werden diese in Facebook rezipiert und auf YouTube diskutiert? Welchen Einfluss hat die Darstellung von ressourcenschonendem Verhalten bei Instagram auf den privaten Alltag? Diesen und weiteren spannenden Fragen wird in diesem Kompendium auf den Grund gegangen. Zwölf innovative Beiträge aus unterschiedlichen Fachdisziplinen untersuchen verschiedene Social Media hinsichtlich der Darstellung und Kommunikation von Nachhaltigkeitsthemen und zeigen, welche Chancen, aber auch welche Herausforderungen sich durch die Verbindung beider Themenkomplexe ergeben. Damit wird ein Beitrag zum wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Diskurs beider Bereiche geleistet und die Nachhaltigkeitsforschung im digitalen Raum gestärkt.Table of ContentsForschungsgrundlagen zu Nachhaltigkeit und Social Media.- Nachhaltigkeit in Social Media.- Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung durch Social Media.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Übergänge in Wissenschaftskarrieren: Ereignisse –
Book SynopsisWissenschaftskarrieren sind durch notwendige Übergänge im Sinne von Statuswechseln gekennzeichnet, wie z. B. durch die Promotion oder die Berufung. Als ebenso relevant lassen sich die vielen Erfahrungen verstehen, die in den jeweiligen Phasen bedeutsam werden. Auslaufende Verträge, Peer Review und Evaluationen etc. stellen Ereignisse dar, die entscheidend für das Erleben und das Fortsetzen der Laufbahn sind. Diese kleinen ggf. kritischen Ereignisse können somit als eine Vielzahl kleiner Übergänge verstanden werden. Während die Übergangs- und Hochschulforschung oftmals die zentralen Übergänge thematisieren, werden hier Beiträge versammelt, die explizit die kleinen Übergänge diskutieren.Trade Review“... Insgesamt verdeutlicht der Sammelband inhaltlich gut die Herausforderungen, denen sich Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler im deutschen Hochschulsystem stellen müssen ... Indem erstmals kleine, mit kritischen Elementen versehene Übergänge in den Blick genommen werden, ergeben sich neue Forschungsperspektiven innerhalb der Hochschulforschung und politische Diskussionsgrundlagen. Vor allem die Bedeutung einer zufriedenstellenden Betreuung und einer stabilen Finanzierung während der Promotion stellen interessante Ansätze für die zukünftige Abbruchsforschung dar ...” (Jasmin Meyer, in: Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie, Jg. 75, Heft 1, 2023)Table of Contents- Kritische Ereignisse als Übergänge in Wissenschaftskarrieren. - Die Rolle kritischer Betreuungsereignisse beim Abbruch von Promotionsvorhaben. - Stabilität oder Krisengefahr?. - Honeymoon is over?. - Familie, Karriere oder beides?. - Berufsverbände, Fachgesellschaften und Mentoring. - Potsdamer Karrierekompass.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Professionalitätsentwicklung angehender
Book SynopsisFachbezogene Planungskompetenzen bilden einen wesentlichen Bestandteil der Professionalität von Lehrkräften und sind im Rahmen institutionalisierter Lerngelegenheiten der Lehrerbildung wie dem seit 2015 in Nordrhein-Westfalen durchgeführten Praxissemester auszubilden. Die tatsächliche Wirksamkeit derartiger Langzeitpraktika ist professionstheoretisch jedoch umstritten. Die Arbeit untersucht die spezifische Wirkung des Praxissemesters auf die Entwicklung von Planungskompetenzen bei angehenden Lehrkräften im Fach Sachunterricht. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Entwicklungen eines Kompetenzstrukturmodells als Referenzrahmen für Wirksamkeitsaussagen sowie eines Rasch-skalierten Messinstrumentes zur standardisierten und validen Erfassung der interessierenden Kompetenz beschrieben. Die dargestellten Ergebnisse einer umfassenden Pilotierungsstudie belegen die generelle Eignung des entwickelten Instrumentes, das im Rahmen eines quasi-experimentellen Forschungsdesigns anschließend für eine Prä-Post-Untersuchung bei Studierenden an der Universität Paderborn eingesetzt wurde. Die berichteten Ergebnisse dieser Studie deuten darauf hin, dass das Praxissemester entgegen der damit verbundenen Intention keine signifikant positiven Effekte auf die Entwicklung der interessierenden Kompetenz hat.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Writing as a Method for the Self-Study of
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the writing process in the self-study of teaching and teacher education practices. It addresses writing as an area in which teacher educators can develop their skills and represents how to write in ways that are compatible with self-study's orientations towards the inquiry, both personal and on practice. The book examines effective self-study writing with chapters written by experienced self-study practitioners. In addition to considering elements of writing as a method for the self-study of practice, it delves into the cognitive processes of real writers making explicit their writing practices. Practical suggestions are connected to the lived experiences of self-study practitioners making sense of their field through the process of writing. This book will be of interest to doctoral and novice self-study writers, and experienced authors seeking to develop their practice. It demonstrates that writing as a method of inquiry in self-study and beyond can be learned, modeled and taught.Trade Review Table of Contents

Cognella, Inc Talk to the Hand: Doing the Write Way
Book SynopsisTalk to the Hand: Doing the Write Way provides students with a simple approach to college-level writing that makes the process much less complicated and daunting. The book equips readers with a step-by-step guide that renders the act of writing as easy as looking at a person's hand.The opening chapter introduces the hand theory, with the palm of an open hand representing the thesis statement of an essay or paper and each finger representing a main point. Within this framework, additional chapters explore the differences between formal and informal writing, forms of writing and communication that are present in popular and everyday lives, and problem-solving or proposal writing. Students learn about the power of persuasion and understanding needs, expectations, and possibilities of an intended audience. They learn how to reimagine their work to strengthen their thesis and expand beyond the original foundation of a piece of writing. Each chapter features Scholar in Training boxes, preparation questions and rubrics for each step in the writing process, writing examples to illustrate key points, reflection opportunities, exercises, peer editing sheets, and valuable writing reminders to support the overall learning experience.An interactive and essential resource, Talk to the Hand is an ideal textbook for freshman composition courses. It is also an exemplary guide for all students entering higher education regardless of their academic disciplines.
