Lehramtsstudium mit Migrationshintergrund: Einflussfaktoren auf die Studienfachentscheidung und den Studienverlauf
by Șeyma GülenWeshalb gibt es so wenige Lehrkräfte mit Migrationshintergrund an Schulen in Deutschland? Dieses Buch liefert anhand der Analyse des Studienwahlverhaltens und des Studienerfolges von Lehramtsstudierenden mit und ohne Migrationshintergrund Antworten auf diese Frage. Die empirischen Befunde - basierend auf den NEPS Daten - zeigen, dass die Ursachen der Unterrepräsentanz von Lehrkräften mit Migrationshintergrund stärker auf die Studienwahl als auf den Studienerfolg zurückzuführen sind. Studienberechtigte mit Migrationshintergrund zeichnen sich in ihrer Berufswahl durch Merkmale aus, die die Wahl eines Nicht-Lehramtsstudienganges begünstigen. Dazu zählen unter anderem eine hohe Aufstiegsorientierung sowie Risikobereitschaft und ein bilingualer Habitus. In ihrem Studienerfolg unterscheiden sich Lehramtsstudierende mit und ohne Migrationshintergrund hingegen nicht wesentlich voneinander. Die Autorin Șeyma Gülen hat am Institut für Soziologie der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen im Bereich der Migrations- und Bildungsforschung promoviert. Derzeit arbeitet sie als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Leibniz School of Education in Hannover.
Lehren und Lernen - Tipps aus der Praxis
by Henning FouckhardtIn diesem Buch fasst Prof. Fouckhardt konkrete Tipps für motivierende Lehre und konzentriertes Lernen aus seiner jahrzehntelangen Lehrerfahrung zusammen: Gute Lehre hat mit Detailarbeit zu tun, mit Motivierung, guten Überleitungen, flexiblem Einsatz von Hilfsmitteln und Mut zum Fordern von Leistung. Gutes Lernen und Studieren beinhalten viel Konzentration und Übung, das Annehmen der Aufgabe, statt zu versuchen, sie zu umgehen. Denn nur Themengebiete, die man sich selbst erschließt, kann man auch wirklich verstehen.Nach zehn Tipps für gute Vorträge und Lehre sowie gutes Lernen geht der Autor auch auf Aspekte der Online-Lehre ein. Den Abschluss des Buches bilden Kommentare des Autors zu ausgesuchten Themen – vom Tafelanschrieb über Hubschraubereltern zu dem manchmal nicht offensichtlichen, aber doch wichtigen Sinn des Lernens und Übens sowie dem Verkennen der Langwierigkeit des Lernens.Dieses Buch richtet sich einerseits an Schüler, Schülerinnen und Studierende, die wissen möchten, wie sie besser und effektiver lernen können. Andererseits spricht es Dozentinnen und Dozenten an, denen ihre Schüler/innen oder Studierenden und die Lehre am Herzen liegen. Kurzweilig und unterhaltsam, mit realen Beispielen gefüttert, regt das Buch zur Reflexion des eigenen Lehr- und Lernverhaltens an.
