Differenzerleben als Balanceakt: Eine Grounded Theory zu medienbezogenen Bildungsprozessen in Paarbeziehungen
by Sabrina SchlachterIn diesem Open-Access-Buch wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern medienbezogene Bildungsprozesse in Paarbeziehungen stattfinden. In der heutigen Informationsgesellschaft stehen Individuen in einer Paarbeziehung vor der Herausforderung, mit digitalen Transformationsprozessen umzugehen. Hierzu liegt eine Vielzahl von Studien vor, die Veränderungen durch Medien im Paaralltag untersuchen. Doch hinsichtlich medienbezogener Bildungsprozesse – bei denen eine Veränderung des Selbst- und Weltbezugs geschieht – werden Paarbeziehungen in der Forschung bislang vernachlässigt. Es wurden 16 Paarinterviews geführt, welche durch Medientagebücher vorbereitet wurden. In der Auswertung mittels Grounded Theory Methodologie wurde eine Theorie zu medienbezogenen Bildungsprozessen in Paarbeziehungen entwickelt. Das zentrale Phänomen sind hierbei Differenzerleben, welche einen Balanceakt in Paarbeziehungen darstellen, und auf die unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen medienbezogene Bildungsprozesse folgen können. Die möglichen Kombinationen von Voraussetzungen sind in fünf Typen von Paaren mit spezifischen Umgangsweisen bzgl. des Phänomens festgehalten. Darunter sind u. a. Paare, die medienbezogene Bildungsprozesse forcieren, diese durch ihre Paar-Dynamik ermöglichen oder sie der Beziehungsstabilität zuliebe verhindern.
Differenzialgleichungen in elementarer Darstellung: Eine Einführung für das gymnasiale Lehramt
by Wolfgang LayDieses Lehrbuch leitet von den klassischen Schulinhalten der Analysis direkt zu einer Kategorisierung und Analyse spezieller (insbesondere linearer) Differenzialgleichungen über. Es betrachtet somit die klassische Analysis aus einer ungewohnten Perspektive und vermittelt inhaltlich zwischen dem mathematischen Denken an Gymnasien einerseits und an Hochschulen/Universitäten andererseits. Dabei werden Definitionen weniger formal, sondern vielmehr als Handlungsanweisung, also funktional betrachtet. Beim mathematischen Beweis geht es weniger darum, eine Wahrheit zu entdecken, als vielmehr darum, eine Einsicht zu vermitteln. Die verwendeten mathematischen Zeichen erheben keinen Absolutheitsanspruch, sondern sollen im Betrachter ein Bild erzeugen. Dieses Buch möchte so eine Weiterentwicklung in der Didaktik anstoßen; es richtet sich daher primär an Studierende und Dozenten im gymnasialen Lehramt der Mathematik, aber auch an SchülerInnen der gymnasialen Kursstufe, welche ein mathematikaffines Studium ins Auge fassen und daher den Übergang von der gymnasialen Kursstufe zum Studium der Mathematik oder eines mathematikaffinen Faches zu bewältigen haben. Es möchte sie dazu ermutigen, die Mathematik als einen großen Werkzeugkasten zu begreifen, mit dessen Hilfe sich auf unglaublich vielen Gebieten alltägliche wie nicht alltägliche Fragen lösen und Sachverhalte quantifizieren lassen.
Differenzierung im Wirtschaftsunterricht: Eine qualitative Delphi-Studie zu Chancen und Hürden

Auf Basis einer Delphi-Experten-Befragung identifiziert er domänenspezifische und überfachliche Aspekte, die bei der Konzeption von differenzierenden Lehr-Lernarrangements berücksichtigt werden sollten. Damit wird ein zentraler Beitrag zur Unterrichtsforschung im Bereich der ökonomischen Bildung geleistet, der zugleich wertvolle Impulse für die Praxis liefert.
Differenzkritische Perspektiven auf Fachhochschulen und Universitäten: Analysen und Interventionen (Beiträge zur Regional- und Migrationsforschung)
by Susanne Bachmann Maritza Le Breton Susanne BurrenZiel dieses Sammelbands ist es, historisch-theoretische, empirische und handlungsbezogene Zugänge zu Differenzkonstruktionen und (Un-)Gleichheiten sowie Diversitätsorientierung an (Fach-)Hochschulen und deren bildungspraktische Relevanz und Spannungsfelder aus kritisch-dekonstruktiver, postkolonialer und intersektionaler Perspektive zu beleuchten - dies mit Bezug auf aktuelle Diskurse über Diversität im Hochschulkontext, die eher an Ansätze der betriebswirtschaftlichen Organisationsentwicklung ausgerichtet sind. So kann Diversity-Management unter Beachtung hochschulinterner Diversitätsleitsätze soziale Positionierungen festschreiben, wodurch eine Re-Essentialisierung stattfinden kann. Eine Betrachtungsweise im Sinne einer kritischen, emanzipatorischen und antidiskriminierenden Perspektive, welche soziokulturelle Bedingungen von Studierenden und Mitarbeitenden an (Fach-)Hochschulen berücksichtigt, ist hingegen selten anzutreffen. Im Fokus alternativer Ansätze steht eine differenzreflexive Hochschule, welche auf die Dekonstruktion von natürlich erscheinenden Differenzlinien zielt, mit der Absicht, nicht nur essentialistische Diskurse zu hinterfragen, sondern auch eine Veränderung der darin eingebundenen geschlechts-, disziplin- und generationenspezifischen Habitusformen zu bewirken.

Difficult Situations in Business Coaching: Practical Examples, Perspectives and Possibilities for Action
by Heidi Möller Jannik ZimmermannCoaches encounter a range of situations in their professional practice that they experience as difficult. The challenges have different sources. They can come from the coaches themselves, the coachees or the commissioning organization. But how do these situations present themselves in detail? How can coaches understand them and respond appropriately? Using real case studies collected online, this book takes a closer look at difficult situations. In doing so, renowned coaches present for discussion their theoretical and methodological perspectives and their recommendations for action. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Schwierige Situationen im Business-Coaching by Heidi Möller and Jannik Zimmermann, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Difficult Subjects: Insights and Strategies for Teaching About Race, Sexuality, and Gender
by Badia Ahad-Legardy OiYan A. PoonDifficult Subjects: Insights and Strategies for Teaching about Race, Sexuality and Gender is a collection of essays from scholars across disciplines, institutions, and ranks that offers diverse and multi-faceted approaches to teaching about subjects that prove both challenging and often uncomfortable for both the professor and the student. It encourages college educators to engage in forms of practice that do not pretend that teachers and students are unaffected by world events and incidents that highlight social inequalities. Readers will find the collected essays useful for identifying new approaches to taking on the “difficult subjects” of race, gender, and sexuality. The book will also serve as inspiration for academics who believe that their area of study does not allow for such pedagogical inquiries to also teach in ways that address difficult subjects. Contributors to this volume span a range of disciplines from criminal justice to gender studies to organic chemistry, and demonstrate the productive possibilities that can emerge in college classrooms when faculty consider “identity” as constitutive of rather than divorced from their academic disciplines.Discussions of race, gender, and sexuality are always hot-button issues in the college classroom, whether they emerge in response to a national event or tragedy or constitute the content of the class over a semester-long term. Even seasoned professors who specialize in these areas find it difficult to talk about identity politics in a room full of students. And many professors for whom issues of racial, and sexual identity is not a primary concern find it even more challenging to raise these issues with students. Offering reflections and practical guidance, the book accounts for a range of challenges facing college educators, and encourages faculty to teach with courage and conviction, especially when it feels as though the world around us is crashing down upon our students and ourselves.
Diffracting New Materialisms: Emerging Methods in Artistic Research and Higher Education
by Annouchka Bayley Jj ChanThis edited book considers the vital position of artistic research in the landscapes and ecosystems of new materialism(s) and post-humanism(s), in and for higher education. The book aims to satisfy an urgent desire for change in the ways we link artistic and critical research practices, asking what new ways of thinking and creating for twenty-first century artistic and educational contexts we need in order to address the kinds of global complexities we face. Organised around five key themes including fictioning, reading, embodying, inhabiting and folding, the book acts as an entry point for academics, artists and scholar-practitioners to participate in the shaping of new forms of artistic research and practice that are relevant, participatory, and that urgently address the kinds of complex issues emergent in our twenty-first century context. In doing so, the book makes a key contribution to the development of emerging inter- and transdisciplinary artistic research practices across a range of fields, responding to the question - what kinds of research and practice worlds do we wish to create in times of urgency, crisis and complexity?
