U.S. Latinos and Education Policy: Research-Based Directions for Change (Sociocultural, Political, and Historical Studies in Education)
by Pedro R. Portes Spencer Salas Patricia Baquedano-López Paula J. MellomWith the American dream progressively elusive for and exclusive of Latinos, there is an urgent need for empirically and conceptually based macro-level policy solutions for Latino education. Going beyond just exposing educational inequalities, this volume provides intelligent and pragmatic research-based policy directions and tools for change for U.S. Latino Education and other multicultural contexts. U.S. Latinos and Education Policy is organized round three themes: education as both product and process of social and historical events and practices; the experiences of young immigrants in schools in both U.S. and international settings and policy approaches to address their needs; and situated perspectives on learning among immigrant students across school, home, and community. With contributions from leading scholars, including Luis Moll, Eugene E. Garcia, Richard P. Durán, Sonia Nieto , Angela Valenzuela, Alejandro Portes and Barbara Flores, this volume enhances existing discussions by showcasing how researchers working both within and in collaboration with Latino communities have employed multiple analytic frameworks; illustrating how current scholarship and culturally oriented theory can serve equity-oriented practice; and, focusing attention on ethnicity in context and in relation to the interaction of developmental and cultural factors. The theoretical and methodological perspectives integrate praxis research from multiple disciplines and apply this research directly to policy.

U Turn to God: Destiny of the Soul
by W. L. SorrellIs it God’s will for us to just accept death as a given and ask no further questions? Are we to be left dangling in the dark about these things; left to subsist in the ever-present fear of such unannounced uncertainty – to take death as it comes without so much as batting an eyelid? Or could the opposite be true? Could God’s intent actually be for the whole human family to acknowledge death in its proper light – for us all to arrive at a point where we fully understand that which we need to, and are completely satisfied not to speculate any further as to what lays beyond it? For surely this is the line in the sand every soul needs to come to; a defining point past which there is no reason to step – a time, a place, a state of mind, a spiritual standpoint at which we stop striving and finally find rest in the arms of God’s providence.
Übergänge in Wissenschaftskarrieren: Ereignisse – Prozesse – Strategien (Wissenschaft – Hochschule – Bildung)
by Svea Korff Inga TruschkatWissenschaftskarrieren 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.
Überschlagsrechnen in der Grundschule
by Sabrina HunkeÜberschlagsrechnen ist ein wichtiges Thema der Grundschulmathematik, das bisher kaum empirisch erforscht ist. Sabrina Hunke führt eine Interviewstudie mit 42 Kindern des vierten Schuljahres durch, um deren Lösungsverhalten beim Überschlagsrechnen zu untersuchen. Dazu werden Aufgaben des Typs "Wie viel ungefähr?" und "Reicht das Geld?" eingesetzt, das heißt direkte und indirekte Überschlagsfragen. Die Auswertung erfolgt qualitativ in den Bereichen Vorgehensweisen, Flexibilität, Komponenten des Überschlagsprozesses und Fehler. Die Autorin zeigt dabei nicht nur die große Bedeutung von Rundungsregeln für viele Kinder auf, sondern auch die Besonderheiten des indirekten Aufgabentyps, und entwickelt aus dieser Analyse konkrete Konsequenzen für den Unterricht.
Übersetzung: Über die Möglichkeit, Pädagogik anders zu denken
by Nicolas Engel Stefan KöngeterIn diesem Band wird mittels des Übersetzungsbegriffs die Möglichkeit verhandelt, Pädagogik anders zu denken. Sozial- und kulturwissenschaftliche Übersetzungstheorien werden dabei genutzt, um die theoretische Produktivität von Übersetzung für die Pädagogik auszuloten: Als Topos pädagogischer Theoriebildung lassen sich mit Übersetzung Verhandlungen über die Bedeutung von Anderem und Anderen und über die Geltung von pädagogischem Wissen im Horizont eines möglichen oder zukünftigen Anders-Sein thematisieren. Ein pädagogischer Einsatz des Übersetzungsbegriffs verspricht zudem mögliche Antworten auf die Frage nach dem Wie der Vermittlung von Bedeutung und Wissen.Die Beiträge zielen dementsprechend im ersten Teil des Bandes darauf, Übersetzung als begriffliche Kategorie pädagogischer Theoriebildung zu entwerfen. In einem zweiten Teil wird Übersetzung als Analysekategorie der Begegnung kultureller Lebensformen und Ordnungen eingesetzt. Schließlich fokussiert der dritte Teil Formen der pädagogischen Theorieproduktion und erziehungswissenschaftlichen Wissensarbeit im transnationalen bzw. globalen Kontext.
