Dialogues in Middle Level Education Research Volume 3: Insights from the AMLE New Directions 2022 Roundtable Discussions (AMLE Innovations in Middle Level Education Research)
by David C. VirtueThis insightful book presents and discusses the dialogues that took place in the New Directions in Middle Level Education Research session at the 2022 Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE) conference. Carefully crafted and expert-led chapters draw upon four recent studies that were published in Research in Middle Level Education Online, the research journal of AMLE, and which were featured in a roundtable discussion at the 2022 AMLE conference. Each section of the book includes one of the four studies accompanied by two companion pieces offering different perspectives on the work. In the companion essays, the original authors enrich and extend their research by incorporating feedback from the conference session discussions, revisiting their findings and conclusions, considering alternative approaches to further research, and proposing new or clarified implications for practice. The book also comprises contributions from middle level education experts, who offer responses to each study, offering perspectives, critiques, and commentaries. Reflecting the generative, dialogic, knowledge-building process that took place at the AMLE conference, it showcases the collaborative work of middle level researchers who draw ideas and inspiration for their studies from prior research and accounts of practice, as well as their own experiences in the field. This book is an excellent resource for researchers, doctoral students, and academics in the fields of middle level education, educational research, and research methods in education.
Dialoguing across Cultures, Identities, and Learning: Crosscurrents and Complexities in Literacy Classrooms (Language, Culture, and Teaching Series)
by Bob Fecho Jennifer CliftonDrawing on Dialogical Self Theory, this book presents a new framework for social and cultural identity construction in the literacy classroom, offering possibilities for how teachers might adjust their pedagogy to better support the range of cultural stances present in all classrooms. In the complex multicultural/multiethnic/multilingual contexts of learning in and out of school spaces today, students and teachers are constantly dialoguing across cultures, both internally and externally, and these cultures are in dialogue with each other. The authors unpack some of the complexity of culture and identity, what people do with culture and identity, and how people navigate multiple cultures and identities. Readers are invited to re-examine how they view different cultures and the roles these play in their lives, and to dialogue with the authors about cultures, learning, literacy, identity, and agency.
Diaminds
by Mihnea Moldoveanu Roger L. MartinWhat constitutes successful thinking in business? What are some of the techniques used by top business minds in order to solve problems and create value? Diaminds breaks new ground in addressing these questions.Mihnea Moldoveanu and Roger Martin, creators of the Integrative Thinking curriculum at the Rotman School of Management, draw upon case studies and interviews - as well as theories and models from cognitive psychology, epistemology, analytic philosophy, and semiotics - to offer a new conception of successful intelligence that is immediately applicable to business situations. The 'diamind' (or dialogical mind) is characterized by bi-stability (simultaneously holding opposite plans, models, courses of action in mind while retaining the ability to act), meliorism (increasing the logical depth and informational breadth of one's thinking processes), choicefulness (retaining the ability to choose among various representations of the world, the self and others) and polyphony (thinking about the way one formulates and solves a problem while at the same time thinking about the problem itself). End-of-chapter exercises encourage readers to examine and re-engineer their own thought and perception patterns to develop these qualities and cultivate their own 'diaminds.'

Diaspora-Biografien in der Migrationsgesellschaft: Eine sozialwissenschaftliche Fallstudie über erzählte Biografien von Angehörigen der jesidischen Minderheit und deren Lebenswelt(en) in Deutschland
by Süleyman KanatDie Minderheit der Jesiden, deren Angehörige mittlerweile zum Teil in der dritten Generation in der deutschen Migrationsgesellschaft leben, ist vor allem durch den an ihnen im Nordirak verübten Genozid im Jahr 2014 vorübergehend in das öffentliche Interesse gerückt. Zwar gibt es Forschungsarbeiten über die Lage dieser Minderheit im deutschsprachigen Raum, doch fehlen vor allem für die Soziale Arbeit notwendige biografieorientierte Fallstudien, die die Perspektive der Betroffenen tiefergehend qualitativ analysieren. Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich daher mit dem Fragenkomplex, welchen möglichen biografischen Herausforderungen Angehörige der jesidischen Minderheit unter den Bedingungen eines Lebens in der Diaspora einer Migrationsgesellschaft ausgesetzt seien können und wie diese von ihnen in ihren individuellen Lebenslagen und Lebenswelten artikuliert, eingeordnet und bewältigt werden. Neben der Sensibilisierung für die Lebenslagen der jesidischen Minderheit in der Diaspora ist es auch ein Forschungsbeitrag, die Komplexität migrationsgesellschaftlicher Verhältnisse aus der subjektiven Perspektive von Minderheitsangehörigen besser zu verstehen. Damit wird es auch möglich, die lebensweltlichen Voraussetzungen, unter denen die Betroffenen an institutionellen Bildungssettings teilhaben, zu berücksichtigen.
