Was bleibt - die DDR aus der Perspektive von Kindern: Eine qualitative Studie zum historisch-politischen Lernen im Sachunterricht (Sachlernen & kindliche Bildung – Bedingungen, Strukturen, Kontexte)
by Julia PeukeDer Zeitgeschichte wird aufgrund ihrer Nähe zur Gegenwart und der Zugänglichkeit zu Quellen besonderes Potenzial für das historisch-politische Lernen im Sachunterricht zugeschrieben. Ausgehend von diesem Grundgedanken befasst sich das vorliegende Buch mit der Frage, welche Theorien Kinder zur DDR und damit auch zur deutschen Teilungsgeschichte haben und wie sich diese in den Diskurs zum zeithistorischen Lernen in der Grundschule einordnen lassen. Dabei wird zudem das Machtkonzept der Kinder vertieft in den Blick genommen. Anhand der Befunde der qualitativen Studie wird die Verschränkung von Zeitgeschichte mit politischen Konzepten und somit auch dem historischen und politischen Lernen deutlich.
Was die Chirurgie fürs Leben lehrt: Erfolgsrezepte eines erfahrenen Operateurs
by Rüdiger HorstmannÄrzte gelten als Halbgötter in Weiß und Chirurgen sind für viele so etwas wie die Elite der Ärzteschaft. Der Chirurg hat das Image eines Machers, er fasziniert, sein Alltag erscheint vielen unheimlich spannend und spektakulär. Schließlich verabreicht er keine Pillen, nein, er schneidet in die Haut – und das ist immer eine Grenzerfahrung.Dieses Buch ermöglicht einen Blick hinter die hermetisch verschlossenen Türen der OP-Säle. Was geht dort vor sich? Welche Fähigkeiten muss der Operateur besitzen? Wie fokussiert er sich und wie bekommt er seine Emotionen in den Griff? Fragen wie diese werden in den dreizehn Kapiteln des Buches beantwortet – und das nicht in Form theoretischer Abhandlungen oder fiktiver Geschichten, sondern anhand ganz konkreter Erfahrungen des Autors, die er in seiner über 40-jährigen beruflichen Laufbahn sammeln durfte.Und es zieht Parallelen zum Leben außerhalb der Krankenhäuser, da letztlich in jedem Unternehmen und für jeden Menschen dieselben Fähigkeiten und Eigenschaften wichtig sind: sich fokussieren und Ziele setzen, handeln und Druck von außen managen, innovativ sein und das Team einbinden. Mit den konkreten Handlungsanleitungen gelingt die Umsetzung ganz einfach im Beruf oder privaten Alltag.
Was erfahrene Führungskräfte wissen sollten: Überraschende Denkfehler im Management und wie Sie sie vermeiden
by Alexandra GötzeWährend in den Medien fortwährend neue Führungsfähigkeiten proklamiert werden, die für die Mitarbeiterführung in komplexen Arbeitswelten unverzichtbar sein sollen, beißen sich aktuell die Chefs in den Unternehmen an überraschend alten Führungsthemen die Zähne aus: Ineffiziente Meetings, in denen viel diskutiert und wenig entschieden wird. Neue Projekte, die sich in ihrer Bedeutsamkeit nahezu stündlich den Rang ablaufen und das belastende Gefühl, dass das eigene Arbeiten immer behäbiger wird, während vom Vorstand Agilität ausgerufen wird. Dieses Buch gibt einen detaillierten Einblick über drei Schwerpunktthemen, die derzeitige Führungskräften im Business Coaching besprechen, verstehen und reflektieren möchten. Drei Themen, die – trotz aller Individualität des Klientenumfelds – umfassend für die existierenden Herausforderungen aktueller Führungsarbeit stehen: Selbststeuerung, Arbeitsmethodik und Kommunikation. Themen, die – speziell von erfahrenen Führungskräften – nicht (mehr) als Stolpersteine ausgemacht werden und gerade deswegen eine besondere Beachtung verdienen. Ein Buch für Führungskräfte, die die eigenen Führungsprinzipien hinterfragen wollen oder müssen.

Washback in Language Testing: Research Contexts and Methods
by Andy Curtis Liying Cheng Yoshinori WatanabeWashback refers to the influence of language testing on teaching and learning. This volume, at the important intersection of language testing and teaching practices, presents theoretical, methodological, and practical guidance for current and future washback studies. In the field of language testing, researchers' major interest has traditionally been focused on issues and solving problems inherent in tests in order to increase their reliability and validity. However, the washback effect goes well beyond the test itself to include factors, such as curriculum, teacher and learner behaviors inside and outside the classroom, their perceptions of the test, and how test scores are used. Only recently have researchers started to empirically investigate the phenomenon of washback. This volume of such research serves two essential purposes by:*providing an overview of the complexity of washback and the various contextual factors entangled within testing, teaching, and learning; and *presenting empirical studies from around the world that offer insights into the effects of washback in specific educational contexts and models of research on which future studies can be based. The extensive use of test scores for various educational and social purposes in society nowadays makes the washback effect a high-interest phenomenon in the day-to-day educational activities of teachers, researchers, program coordinators/directors, policymakers, and others in the field of education. Washback in Language Testing: Research Contexts and Methods is a valuable resource for those who are interested in the application of findings to actual teaching and learning situations or conduct washback research in their own contexts, including educational and psychological testing experts, as well as alternative assessment people in all fields, and for policy- and decision-makers in educational and testing organizations.

Washington State Rising: Black Power on Campus in the Pacific Northwest (Black Power #3)
by Marc Arsell RobinsonDocuments the origins, actions, and impacts of the Black Student Union in the state of Washington during the tumultuous late 1960s.Washington State Rising documents the origins, actions, and impact of the Black Student Union (BSU) in Washington from 1967 to 1970. The BSU was a politicized student organization that had chapters across the West Coast and played a prominent role in the student wing of the Black Power Movement. Through accounts of Black student struggles at two different college campuses in Washington, one urban and one rural, Marc Arsell Robinson details how the BSU led highly consequential protest campaigns at both institutions and beyond, which led to reforms such as the establishment of Black Studies programs, increased hiring of Black faculty and staff, and new initiatives to recruit and retain students of color.Washington State Rising is the first book to document 1960s Black student activism in the Pacific Northwest and includes extensive oral history interviews with former BSU members. Robinson uncovers new insights into Black politics, locating the Black Power Movement in Seattle, Washington, a city and state not typically associated with 1960s black protest. At once fascinating and revelatory, Washington State Rising provides historical insights for current and future social justice activism.

Wasted Education: How We Fail Our Graduates in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
by John D. SkrentnyAn urgent reality check for America’s blinkered fixation on STEM education. We live in an era of STEM obsession. Not only do tech companies dominate American enterprise and economic growth while complaining of STEM shortages, but we also need scientific solutions to impending crises. As a society, we have poured enormous resources—including billions of dollars—into cultivating young minds for well-paid STEM careers. Yet despite it all, we are facing a worker exodus, with as many as 70% of STEM graduates opting out of STEM work. Sociologist John D. Skrentny investigates why, and the answer, he shows, is simple: the failure of STEM jobs. Wasted Education reveals how STEM work drives away bright graduates as a result of “burn and churn” management practices, lack of job security, constant training for a neverending stream of new—and often socially harmful—technologies, and the exclusion of women, people of color, and older workers. Wasted Education shows that if we have any hope of improving the return on our STEM education investments, we have to change the way we’re treating the workers on whom our future depends.
