Sichtweisen von Lehrkräften auf Schülerfehler: Eine länderübergreifende qualitative Studie in Finnland und Nordrhein-Westfalen

Annika Breternitz geht in diesem Buch der Frage nach, welche Sichtweisen Lehrkräfte auf Schülerfehler haben und welche Einflussfaktoren diese Sichtweisen prägen. Die Sichtweisen Fehler als Lernchance wie auch als zu sanktionierende Fehlleistung anzusehen, haben ihre Legitimität im Kontext Schule. In der heutigen Professionalitätsdiskussion wird auf die Relevanz des konstruktiven Umgangs der Lehrkräfte mit Schülerfehlern immer wieder hingewiesen. Die Autorin untersucht mit dem Blick auf die (generelle) Ambivalenz der Wertung von Fehlern, welche Sichtweisen der Lehrkräfte erkennbar werden und welche Faktoren (wie z.B. Schulform, Aufgabe der Lehrkräfte, Ausbildung) diese beeinflussen. Hierbei liegt ein Schwerpunkt auf einen länderübergreifenden Ansatz, der die finnischen und deutschen Bildungssysteme in den Blick nimmt.

Sick Boys – Intensivmaßnahmen der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe als Erziehungsorte

Intensivmaßnahmen gehören zu den fachlich kontrovers diskutierten Maßnahmen der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe. Einerseits richten sie sich an jene jungen Menschen, die durch reguläre Maßnahmen der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe nicht mehr erreicht werden können und sollen somit den individuellen Bedarfen junger Menschen nachkommen. Andererseits zeichnen sich Intensivmaßnahmen durch einen stark repressiven Zugriff auf junge Menschen aus und folgen scheinbar der Logik einer immer ein bisschen engeren und exklusiveren Maßnahme. In diesem Zugriff auf junge Menschen wird jedoch ein Spannungsfeld sichtbar, welches sich zwischen pädagogischen Standards wie dem Aufbau einer tragfähigen auf Freiwilligkeit beruhenden pädagogischen Beziehung einerseits und gesellschaftspolitischen Forderungen nach einer repressiven Normverdeutlichung andererseits aufspannt. In der empirischen Analyse wird dieses Spannungsfeld aus der Perspektive der jungen Menschen in den Blick genommen und der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern Intensivmaßnahmen für die jungen Menschen zu Erziehungsorten werden können. Mit Bezug auf den Capabilities-Approach ist die Frage erkenntnisleitend, inwiefern Intensivmaßnahmen zu einer Erweiterung der individuellen Handlungsmöglichkeiten beitragen können oder weitere gesellschaftliche Ausschlusserfahrungen evozieren.

Side-Lights On Astronomy

Sidetracked

<p>If middle school were a race, Joseph Friedman wouldn't even be in last place--he'd be on the sidelines. With an overactive mind and phobias of everything from hard-boiled eggs to gargoyles, he struggles to understand his classes, let alone his fellow classmates. So he spends most of his time avoiding school bully Charlie Kastner and hiding out in the Resource Room, a safe place for misfit kids like him. <p>But then, on the first day of seventh grade, two important things happen. First, his Resource Room teacher encourages (i.e., practically forces) him to join the school track team, and second, he meets Heather, a crazy-fast runner who isn't going to be pushed around by Charlie Kastner or anybody else. <p>With a new friend and a new team, Joseph finds himself off the sidelines and in the race (quite literally) for the first time. Is he a good runner? Well, no, he's terrible. But the funny thing about running is, once you're in the race, anything can happen.</p>

Sidney Earle Smith

The career of Sidney Earle Smith, Dean of Law, Dalhousie University (1929-34), President of the University of Manitoba (1934-44), President of the University of Toronto (1945-59), had a variety of backgrounds which were significant in determining his impressive achievement in Canada's humanistic tradition. He was reared in the vigorous landscape and living of the Maritimes, rigorously trained in the discipline of the law whose traditions he always enjoyed and respected, challenged and stimulated by very different but equally significant administrative problems as president first of a struggling western university (Manitoba), and then of the largest and most complex in Canada (Toronto), and finally was caught up in the compelling swirl of international politics from the office of Secretary of State for External Affairs. At every stage of these activities Sidney Smith made an indelible impression on his associates. One of these, who knew him intimately in the work of the Canadian Association for Adult Education, is the author of this short but revealing biography.Mr. Corbett has carefully and vividly sketched in the backgrounds of his subject's story, has woven into the account with ingenious informality reminiscences of the man and his work by a goodly company of his colleagues, and has brought out his personality, style, methods, beliefs in a persuasive atmosphere of personal warmth and strong academic conviction. This is a book of lively charm to read, and also a valuable recording of a public servant who "left a mark upon his time and his country that the passage of the years will further illuminate." Its initial appearance in the year of the opening of Sidney Smith Hall, built to house the Faculty of Arts whose interests he had always served with sturdy devotion, is a happy association.
