The Myth of Achievement Tests: The GED and the Role of Character in American Life
by James J. Heckman John Eric Humphries Tim KautzAchievement tests play an important role in modern societies. They are used to evaluate schools, to assign students to tracks within schools, and to identify weaknesses in student knowledge. The GED is an achievement test used to grant the status of high school graduate to anyone who passes it. GED recipients currently account for 12 percent of all high school credentials issued each year in the United States. But do achievement tests predict success in life? "The Myth of Achievement Tests" shows that achievement tests like the GED fail to measure important life skills. James J. Heckman, John Eric Humphries, Tim Kautz, and a group of scholars offer an in-depth exploration of how the GED came to be used throughout the United States and why our reliance on it is dangerous. Drawing on decades of research, the authors show that, while GED recipients score as well on achievement tests as high school graduates who do not enroll in college, high school graduates vastly outperform GED recipients in terms of their earnings, employment opportunities, educational attainment, and health. The authors show that the differences in success between GED recipients and high school graduates are driven by character skills. Achievement tests like the GED do not adequately capture character skills like conscientiousness, perseverance, sociability, and curiosity. These skills are important in predicting a variety of life outcomes. They can be measured, and they can be taught. aUsing the GED as a case study," "the authors explore what achievement tests miss and show the dangers of an educational system based on them. They call for a return to an emphasis on character in our schools, our systems of accountability, and our national dialogue.

Nachhaltigkeit und Social Media: Bildung für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung in der digitalen Welt
by Annika Bush Jonas BirkeDas Konzept der Nachhaltigkeit erfährt in den letzten Jahren zunehmend Aufmerksamkeit in allen Lebensbereichen. Ob es um Stories zum Klimaschutz auf Instagram, Erklärvideos zur Kreislaufwirtschaft auf YouTube oder Tweets zur Armutsbekämpfung auf Twitter geht - längst hat das Thema auch Einzug in die aufmerksamkeitsstarke Welt von Social Media gefunden. Diese bieten bisher nie dagewesene Möglichkeiten der digitalen Vernetzung und des informellen Lernens. Dadurch rücken sie Nachhaltigkeit verstärkt aus der wissenschaftlichen Nische in den öffentlichen Diskurs.Dieser Sammelband verbindet die bisher zumeist getrennt gedachten Bereiche Nachhaltigkeit und Social Media. Welche nachhaltigen Themen dominieren in den sozialen Netzwerken? Wie werden diese in Facebook rezipiert und auf YouTube diskutiert? Welchen Einfluss hat die Darstellung von ressourcenschonendem Verhalten bei Instagram auf den privaten Alltag? Diesen und weiteren spannenden Fragen wird in diesem Kompendium auf den Grund gegangen. Zwölf innovative Beiträge aus unterschiedlichen Fachdisziplinen untersuchen verschiedene Social Media hinsichtlich der Darstellung und Kommunikation von Nachhaltigkeitsthemen und zeigen, welche Chancen, aber auch welche Herausforderungen sich durch die Verbindung beider Themenkomplexe ergeben. Damit wird ein Beitrag zum wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Diskurs beider Bereiche geleistet und die Nachhaltigkeitsforschung im digitalen Raum gestärkt.
