Handbook of the Sociology of Education in the 21st Century (Handbooks Of Sociology And Social Research Ser.)
by Barbara SchneiderThis handbook unifies access and opportunity, two key concepts of sociology of education, throughout its 25 chapters. It explores today’s populations rarely noticed, such as undocumented students, first generation college students, and LGBTQs; and emphasizing the intersectionality of gender, race, ethnicity and social class. Sociologists often center their work on the sources and consequences of inequality. This handbook, while reviewing many of these explanations, takes a different approach, concentrating instead on what needs to be accomplished to reduce inequality. A special section is devoted to new methodological work for studying social systems, including network analyses and school and teacher effects. Additionally, the book explores the changing landscape of higher education institutions, their respective populations, and how labor market opportunities are enhanced or impeded by differing postsecondary education pathways. Written by leading sociologists and rising stars in the field, each of the chapters is embedded in theory, but contemporary and futuristic in its implications. This Handbook serves as a blueprint for identifying new work for sociologists of education and other scholars and policymakers trying to understand many of the problems of inequality in education and what is needed to address them.
Handbook of the Sociology of Medical Education
by Bryan S. Turner Caragh BrosnanThe Handbook of the Sociology of Medical Education provides a contemporary introduction to this classic area of sociology by examining the social origin and implications of the epistemological, organizational and demographic challenges facing medical education in the twenty-first century. Beginning with reflections on the historical and theoretical foundations of the sociology of medical education, the collection then focuses on current issues affecting medical students, the profession and the faculty, before exploring medical education in different national contexts. Leading sociologists analyze: the intersection of medical education and social structures such as gender, ethnicity and disability; the effect of changes in medical practice, such as the emergence of evidence-based medicine, on medical education; and the ongoing debates surrounding the form and content of medical curricula. By examining applied problems within a framework which draws from social theorists such as Pierre Bourdieu, this new collection suggests future directions for the sociological study of medical education and for medical education itself.

Handbook on Impact Evaluation: Quantitative Methods and Practices
by Shahidur R. Khandker Gayatri B. Koolwal Hussain A. SamadPublic programs are designed to reach certain goals and beneficiaries. Methods to understand whether such programs actually work, as well as the level and nature of impacts on intended beneficiaries, are main themes of this book. Has the Grameen Bank, for example, succeeded in lowering consumption poverty among the rural poor in Bangladesh? Can conditional cash transfer programs in Mexico and Latin America improve health and schooling outcomes for poor women and children? Does a new road actually raise welfare in a remote area in Tanzania, or is it a 'highway to nowhere'? This book reviews quantitative methods and models of impact evaluation. It begins by reviewing the basic issues pertaining to an evaluation of an intervention to reach certain targets and goals. It then focuses on the experimental design of an impact evaluation, highlighting its strengths and shortcomings, followed by discussions on various non-experimental methods. The authors also cover methods to shed light on the nature and mechanisms by which different participants are benefiting from the program. For researchers interested in learning how to use these models with statistical software, the book also provides STATA exercises in the context of evaluating major microcredit programs in Bangladesh, such as the Grameen Bank. The framework presented in this book can be very useful for strengthening local capacity in impact evaluation among technicians and policymakers in charge of formulating, implementing, and evaluating programs to alleviate poverty and underdevelopment.

Handbook on Teaching Empirical Software Engineering
by Daniel Mendez Paris Avgeriou Marcos Kalinowski Nauman Bin AliThis handbook exploits the profound experience and expertise of well-established scholars in the empirical software engineering community to provide guidance and support in teaching various research methods and fundamental concepts. A particular focus is thus on combining research methods and their epistemological settings and terminology with didactics and pedagogy for the subject. The book covers the most essential contemporary research methods and philosophical and cross-cutting concerns in software engineering research, considering both academic and industrial settings, at the same time providing insights into the effective teaching of concepts and strategies. To this end, the book is organized into four major parts. In the first part, the editors set the foundation with two chapters; one laying out the larger context of the discipline for a positioning of the remainder of this book, and one guiding the creation of a syllabus for courses in empirical software engineering. The second part of the book lays the fundamentals for teaching empirical software engineering, addressing more cross-cutting aspects from theorizing and teaching research designs to measurement and quantitative data analysis. In the third part, general experiences and personal reflections from teaching empirical software engineering in different settings are shared. Finally, the fourth part contains a number of carefully selected research methods, presented through an educational lens. Next to the chapter contributions themselves that provide a more theoretical perspective and practical advice, readers will find additional material in the form of, for example, slide sets and tools, in an online material section. The book mainly targets three different audiences: (1) educators teaching empirical software engineering to undergraduate, postgraduate or doctoral students, (2) professional trainers teaching the basic concepts of empirical software engineering to software professionals, and (3) students and trainees attending such courses.

Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education
by Alexander Karp Gert SchubringThis is the first comprehensive International Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education, covering a wide spectrum of epochs and civilizations, countries and cultures. Until now, much of the research into the rich and varied history of mathematics education has remained inaccessible to the vast majority of scholars, not least because it has been written in the language, and for readers, of an individual country. And yet a historical overview, however brief, has become an indispensable element of nearly every dissertation and scholarly article. This handbook provides, for the first time, a comprehensive and systematic aid for researchers around the world in finding the information they need about historical developments in mathematics education, not only in their own countries, but globally as well. Although written primarily for mathematics educators, this handbook will also be of interest to researchers of the history of education in general, as well as specialists in cultural and even social history.

Handbuch Disability Studies
by Anne WaldschmidtDie Disability Studies sind ein international etabliertes, anspruchsvolles und innovatives Forschungsfeld, in dem es darum geht, das Phänomen „(Nicht-)Behinderung“ als historische, soziale, politische und kulturelle Konstruktion zu fassen, es somit aus der medizinisch-pädagogischen Umklammerung zu lösen und unter einer genuin sozial- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive zu untersuchen. Ähnlich den Gender Studies oder Queer Studies handelt es sich bei den Disability Studies um einen Ansatz, der eine emanzipatorische Zielrichtung verfolgt. Das Handbuch führt in den internationalen Diskurs ein und bietet einen fundierten Überblick über die Entwicklung, Grundlagen und Debatten der deutschsprachigen Disability Studies. Die Aufsätze behandeln zentrale theoretische, methodische und empirische Fragen aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen sowie intersektionale und querliegende Perspektiven der Studien zu „dis/ability“. Das Handbuch eignet sich insbesondere als Nachschlagewerk für Forschung und Lehre.
Handbuch Entwicklungs- und Erziehungspsychologie (Springer Reference Psychologie)
by Bärbel Kracke Peter NoackEine Vielzahl von Faktoren wie Mobilität, Migration, Inklusion, berufliche Übergänge und Medien prägen heutige individuelle Entwicklungs- und Erziehungsprozesse. Das Handbuch gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in diese und andere zentrale Aspekte der individuellen Entwicklung und Erziehung über die gesamte Lebensspanne. Es führt dabei Grundlagenwissen mit Anwendungsperspektiven und Praxisbeispielen zusammen. Ein Schwerpunkt der Darstellung liegt auf den Kontexten individueller Entwicklungsverläufe in den verschiedenen Lebensphasen und der Erziehung. Hintergrund dafür ist, dass Stabilität und Veränderung der Person ohne deren Wechselwirkung mit Familie, Peers oder Bildungseinrichtungen nicht angemessen zu verstehen sind. Gleichzeitig werden auch die Bedingungen des heutigen gesellschaftlichen Umfelds in den Blick genommen. Ein Beispiel ist die zunehmende Diversität und die damit verbundene Frage nach einem erzieherischen Umgang mit Unterschiedlichkeit, der dem Individuum in seiner Entwicklung in förderlicher Weise gerecht wird. Das Handbuch ist ideal für angehende wie schon tätige Praktiker und Professionals in verschiedenen Anwendungsfeldern. Gleichzeitig bietet es Studierenden der Psychologie, der Erziehungswissenschaft und benachbarter Disziplinen einen verständlich aufbereiteten Überblick zu wichtigen und aktuellen Themen der ökologischen Entwicklungspsychologie.
