Evidenzbasierte Lehrstrategien: Optimierung des Bildungserfolgs von Schülerinnen und Schülern
by Garry Hornby Deborah GreavesDieses Buch befasst sich mit evidenzbasierten Praktiken, die einen effektiven Unterricht ermöglichen, um einen optimalen Bildungserfolg für Schüler zu gewährleisten. Es identifiziert Schlüsselstrategien, die auf umfangreichen Forschungsergebnissen basieren, welche ihre Wirksamkeit bei der Verbesserung der Schülerergebnisse bestätigen. Das Buch bietet Lehrkräften einen Leitfaden zur Unterscheidung zwischen Strategien, die evidenzbasiert sind, und solchen, für die es nur wenige oder gar keine Belege gibt. Es beschreibt gängige Unterrichtsstrategien, die häufig in Schulen eingesetzt werden, obwohl ihre Wirksamkeit kaum belegt ist. Darüber hinaus werden in dem Buch acht wichtige evidenzbasierte Unterrichtspraktiken genannt, die von den Lehrkräften direkt umgesetzt werden können, die theoretischen und forschungsbasierten Grundlagen für jede dieser Strategien erläutert, und es werden Leitlinien für Sonder- und allgemeinbildende Lehrkräfte gegeben, wie sie diese Strategien am effektivsten anwenden können, mit Links zu Videobeispielen für ihre Anwendung im Unterricht. Der Text untersucht auch häufige Hindernisse für den Einsatz evidenzbasierter Praktiken in Schulen. Es werden die Auswirkungen auf die Lehrerausbildung untersucht, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der Ausbildung von Pädagogen liegt, damit sie evidenzbasierte Strategien erkennen und effektiv umsetzen können, wobei diejenigen vermieden werden, die nicht evidenzbasiert sind, selbst wenn sie in den Schulen beliebt sind. „Evidenzbasierte Lehrstrategien“ ist ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk für Forscher, Fachleute und Studenten der pädagogischen Psychologie, der Kinder- und Schulpsychologie und der Sozialarbeit, die daran interessiert sind, wirksame Lehrmethoden kennenzulernen und umzusetzen, die das Engagement der Schüler und ihre schulischen Leistungen verbessern, das sozial-emotionale Lernen stärken und die Schulabbrecherquote senken.

The Evolution and Evaluation of Massive Open Online Courses
by Leonard J. WaksThis book offers a re-assessment of the educational and occupational value of MOOCs based on developments since 2013. When MOOCs appeared--amidst great fanfare--in 2012, leaders proclaimed an educational "revolution. " By 2013, however, dramatic failures, negative research findings, and sharp critiques ended the MOOC hype. This book examines both MOOCs and prior distance learning innovations, and offers a broad overview of their educational, economic and social effects. Chapters explore ties between MOOCs and emerging pedagogical models as well as exponentially rising tuition rates, student debt, and chronic underemployment of university graduates worldwide. It offers readers a comprehensive, up-to-the-moment guide to the MOOC phenomenon.
Evolution and Learning: The Baldwin Effect Reconsidered
by Bruce H. Weber David J. DepewThe role of genetic inheritance dominates current evolutionary theory. At the end of the nineteenth century, however, several evolutionary theorists independently speculated that learned behaviors could also affect the direction and rate of evolutionary change. This notion was called the Baldwin effect, after the psychologist James Mark Baldwin. In recent years, philosophers and theorists of a variety of ontological and epistemological backgrounds have begun to employ the Baldwin effect in their accounts of the evolutionary emergence of mind and of how mind, through behavior, might affect evolution. The essays in this book discuss the originally proposed Baldwin effect, how it was modified over time, and its possible contribution to contemporary empirical and theoretical evolutionary studies. The topics include the effect of the modern evolutionary synthesis on the notion of the Baldwin effect, the nature and role of niche construction in contemporary evolutionary theory, the Baldwin effect in the context of developmental systems theory, the possible role of the Baldwin effect in computational cognitive science biosemiotics, and the emergence of consciousness and language.
Evolution and Religion in American Education
by David E. LongEvolution and Religion in American Education shines a light into one of America's dark educational corners, exposing the regressive pedagogy that can invade science classrooms when school boards and state overseers take their eyes off the ball. It sets out to examine the development of college students' attitudes towards biological evolution through their lives. The fascinating insights provided by interviewing students about their world views adds up to a compelling case for additional scrutiny of the way young people's educational experiences unfold as they consider--and indeed in some cases reject--one of science's strongest and most cogent theoretical constructs. Inevitably, open discussion and consideration of the theory of evolution can chip away at the mental framework constructed by Creationists, eroding the foundations of their faith. The conceptual battleground is so fraught with logical challenges to Creationist dogma that in a number of cases students' exposure to such dangerous ideas is actively prevented. This book provides a detailed map of this astonishing struggle in today's America--a struggle many had thought was done and dusted with the onset of the Enlightenment.
Evolution, Creationism, and the Battle to Control America'S Classrooms
by Michael Berkman Eric PlutzerWho should decide what children are taught in school? This question lies at the heart of the evolution-creation wars that have become a regular feature of the U. S. political landscape. Ever since the 1925 Scopes 'monkey trial' many have argued that the people should decide by majority rule and through political institutions; others variously point to the federal courts, educational experts, or scientists as the ideal arbiter. Berkman and Plutzer illuminate who really controls the nation's classrooms. Based on their innovative survey of 926 high school biology teachers they show that the real power lies with individual educators who make critical decisions in their own classrooms. Broad teacher discretion sometimes leads to excellent instruction in evolution. But the authors also find evidence of strong creationist tendencies in America's public high schools. More generally, they find evidence of a systematic undermining of science and the scientific method in many classrooms.
Evolution Education Around the Globe
by Hasan Deniz Lisa A. BorgerdingThis edited book provides a global view on evolution education. It describes the state of evolution education in different countries that are representative of geographical regions around the globe such as Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North Africa, South Africa, North America, South America,Middle East, Far East, South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.Studies in evolution education literature can be divided into three main categories: (a) understanding the interrelationships among cognitive, affective, epistemological, and religious factors that are related to peoples’ views about evolution, (b) designing, implementing, evaluating evolution education curriculum that reflects contemporary evolution understanding, and (c) reducing antievolutionary attitudes. This volume systematically summarizes the evolution education literature across these three categories for each country or geographical region. The individual chapters thus include common elements that facilitate a cross-cultural meta-analysis. Written for a primarily academic audience, this book provides a much-needed common background for future evolution education research across the globe.
Evolution Education in the American South
by Christopher D. Lynn Amanda L. Glaze William A. Evans Laura K. ReedThis volume reaches beyond the controversy surrounding the teaching and learning of evolution in the United States, specifically in regard to the culture, politics, and beliefs found in the Southeast. The editors argue that despite a deep history of conflict in the region surrounding evolution, there is a wealth of evolution research taking place--from biodiversity in species to cultural evolution and human development. In fact, scientists, educators, and researchers from around the United States have found their niche in the South, where biodiversity is high, culture runs deep, and the pace is just a little bit slower.
Evolution Education Re-considered: Understanding What Works
by Ute Harms Michael J. ReissThis collection presents research-based interventions using existing knowledge to produce new pedagogies to teach evolution to learners more successfully, whether in schools or elsewhere. ‘Success’ here is measured as cognitive gains, as acceptance of evolution or an increased desire to continue to learn about it. Aside from introductory and concluding chapters by the editors, each chapter consists of a research-based intervention intended to enable evolution to be taught successfully; all these interventions have been researched and evaluated by the chapters’ authors and the findings are presented along with discussions of the implications. The result is an important compendium of studies from around the word conducted both inside and outside of school. The volume is unique and provides an essential reference point and platform for future work for the foreseeable future.

The Evolution of Deficit Thinking: Educational Thought and Practice (Stanford Series On Education And Public Policy Ser. #Vol. 19)
by Richard R. ValenciaDeficit thinking refers to the notion that students, particularly low income minority students, fail in school because they and their families experience deficiencies that obstruct the leaning process (e.g. limited intelligence, lack of motivation, inadequate home socialization). Tracing the evolution of deficit thinking, the authors debunk the pseudo-science and offer more plausible explanations of why students fail.
The Evolution of Designs: Biological Analogy in Architecture and the Applied Arts
by Philip SteadmanThis book tells the history of the many analogies that have been made between the evolution of organisms and the human production of artefacts, especially buildings. It examines the effects of these analogies on architectural and design theory and considers how recent biological thinking has relevance for design. Architects and designers have looked to biology for inspiration since the early 19th century. They have sought not just to imitate the forms of plants and animals, but to find methods in design analogous to the processes of growth and evolution in nature. This new revised edition of this classic work adds an extended Afterword covering recent developments such as the introduction of computer methods in design in the 1980s and ‘90s, which have made possible a new kind of ‘biomorphic’ architecture through ‘genetic algorithms’ and other programming techniques.
