Werdende Eltern: Eine rekonstruktive Studie zum Übergang zur (erneuten) Elternschaft (Methodologisch-Methodische Perspektiven auf Kindheit(en))
by Sylvia JädeDie qualitative Längsschnittstudie widmet sich der Phase der Eltern- und Familienwerdung aus einer erziehungswissenschaftlichen Perspektive und fragt danach, wie werdende Eltern den Übergang zur (erneuten) Elternschaft aktiv herstellen. Der Übergang wird dabei als komplexer sozialer Prozess verstanden, der unterschiedliche Lebensbereiche berührt. Anhand von Elterninterviews wurden zwei sinngenetische Typen des Übergangs zur Elternschaft rekonstruiert: der affektiv-selbstläufige und der gestaltend-planvolle Typ. Die Typen umfassen handlungsleitende Orientierungen der Befragten zu den Bereichen Kind(er), Elternschaft, Erziehung, Familie, Alltag und Paarbeziehung. Zudem wurde ein Vergleich realisiert, der empirische Einblicke in Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten des Übergangs in die Erst- und Mehrfachelternschaft bietet. Insgesamt wird herausgearbeitet, dass die Fokussierung des Projektcharakters von Elternschaft und der Krisenhaftigkeit von Erstelternschaft häufig zu kurz greift, weil dieser Übergang in Beziehungen und das alltägliche Familienleben eingelassen ist.

Werte. Sprache. Integration: Zur Konstruktion von Werten in DaZ-Lehrmaterialien
by Michael Hofer-RobinsonMit dem neuen Integrationsgesetz 2017 wurden Werte verpflichtender Bestandteil von Integrationskursmaßnahmen in Österreich. In dieser Studie werden Lehrbücher untersucht, die vom Österreichischen Integrationsfonds (ÖIF) für den Einsatz in ,Deutschkursen mit Werte- und Orientierungswissen‘ empfohlen werden. Es werden Möglichkeiten und Perspektiven betrachtet, die das didaktische Material eröffnet und danach gefragt, wie Werte in den Materialien konstruiert werden, wie Lernende (und Lehrende) durch Lehrmaterialien adressiert werden (können), welche Vorstellungen von gesellschaftlicher Wirklichkeit und Subjekten rekonstruierbar sind und welche gesellschaftliche Positionen Lernenden gegenüber angeregt werden. Bei der Analyse wird eine migrationspädagogisch, rassismuskritisch und subjektivierungstheoretisch informierte Perspektive eingenommen und mit dem Ansatz der Thematischen Diskursanalyse verschränkt, um das Wissen aus den Werte-Materialien zu rekonstruieren. Auf der Grundlage der theoretischen und methodischen Vorannahmen werden Lehrbücher von drei Verlagen analysiert und anhand dieser Rekonstruktionen typischer Adressierungen und Konstruktionen von Wirklichkeit dargestellt.

Wesleyan University, 1910–1970: Academic Ambition and Middle-Class America
by David B. PottsIn Wesleyan University, 1910-1970, David B. Potts presents an engaging story that includes a measured departure from denominational identity, an enterprising acquisition of fabulous wealth, and a burst of enthusiastic aspirations that initiated an era of financial stress. Threaded through these episodes is a commitment to social service that is rooted in Methodism and clothed in more humanistic garb after World War II.Potts gives an unprecedented level of attention to the board of trustees and finances. These closely related components are now clearly introduced as major shaping forces in the development of American higher education. Extensive examination is also given to student and faculty roles in building and altering institutional identity. Threaded throughout these probes within in the analytical narrative is a close look at the waxing and waning of presidential leadership. All these developments, as is particularly evident in the areas of student demography and faculty compensation, travel on a pathway through middle-class America. Within this broad context, Wesleyan becomes a window on how the nation's liberal arts colleges survived and thrived during the last century. This book concludes the author's analysis of changes in institutional identities that shaped the narrative for his widely praised first volume, Wesleyan University, 1831-1910: Collegiate Enterprise in New England. His current fully evidenced sequel supplies helpful insights and reference points as we encounter the present fiscal strain in higher education and the related debates on institutional mission.
Wesleyan Vile-tality: Reclaiming the Heart of Methodist Identity
by Ashley BogganLearn what it means to “submit to be more vile” for today’s Methodists.Wesleyan Vile-tality calls us back to the roots of our identity. Centered on the moment John Wesley “submitted to be more vile" in spreading the love of God to all people, Ashley Boggan argues that Wesleyan vile-tality is at the core of who we are as Methodists. As rule-benders, rabble-rousers, and outcast-embracers, those early Methodists stood out and stood up. She traces how that original identity was lost as the predecessor denominations to The United Methodist Church grew and began to embrace respectability over “vile-tality.” In an accessible and engaging account of a fascinating history, these stories of our past call us to understand who we were, question who we are, and reclaim who we should be. Each chapter includes questions for personal reflection or group study.
West Germany and the Global Sixties
by Timothy Scott BrownThe anti-authoritarian revolt of the 1960s and 1970s was a watershed in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. The rebellion of the so-called '68ers' - against cultural conformity and the ideological imperatives of the Cold War; against the American war in Vietnam; in favor of a more open accounting for the crimes of the Nazi era - helped to inspire a dialogue on democratization with profound effects on German society. Timothy Brown examines the unique synthesis of globalizing influences on West Germany to reveal how the presence of Third World students, imported pop culture from America and England and the influence of new political doctrines worldwide all helped to precipitate the revolt. The book explains how the events in West Germany grew out of a new interplay of radical politics and popular culture, even as they drew on principles of direct-democracy, self-organization and self-determination, all still highly relevant in the present day.
West Liberty State College (Campus History)
by Robert W. SchrammLocated in a charming community in West Virginia's northern panhandle is West Liberty State College, the oldest institution of higher learning in the Mountain State. The school was chartered by the State of Virginia as an academy in 1837 and has seen its share of changes since that time. Arguably the foremost change arrived in 1863 when West Virginia became the 35th state in the Union, thereby making the college older than the state. The school took its name from the community in which it resides, which, at the time of the American Revolution, was the frontier settlement farthest west of the Appalachian Mountains and therefore appropriatelynamed "West Liberty." Since that time, West Liberty State College has been organized and reorganized as a normal school, a state teacher's college, and, finally, a state college. It has maintained its stated mission "to launch our graduates into community, work, and academic environments ready tobe viable contributors with skills and knowledge needed to meet future opportunities and challenges." West Liberty State College celebrates the history and traditions of the school, spotlighting academic, social, and athletic events over the past 163 years.

West-East Reciprocal Learning in Teacher Education: From Knowing to Doing (Intercultural Reciprocal Learning in Chinese and Western Education)
by Michael Connelly Shijing Xu Yibing Liu Zuochen Zhang Chenkai ChiDuring this uncertain time, teacher education has never been more needed for West-East dialogues and Reciprocal Learning. Xu and Connelly’s concept of reciprocal learning aims to harmonize the West-East dichotomy and foster appreciation in education and understanding of each other’s culture and history. This book focuses on the field work done by the Teacher Education Research Team with chapter contributors from Canadian and Chinese professors, graduate students and pre-service teachers who have been deeply engaged in the RLP. Following Xu and Connelly’s conceptual framework of “Reciprocal Learning as Collaborative Partnership,” the book begins with knowing the Teacher Education RLP followed by doing the West-East reciprocal learning through the program. It concludes with a discussion of the envisioned future of the RLP and commentaries from distinguished scholars in teacher education, one from the West and the other from the East.
West-East Reciprocal Learning in a Canada-China Sister School Network: Stories of Hope (Intercultural Reciprocal Learning in Chinese and Western Education)
by Michael Connelly Shijing Xu Yishin KhooThis volume provides a comprehensive cross-cultural knowledge base and understanding of school education, teacher education, and the cultural contexts of education in China and the West. It achieves this by bringing together diverse Chinese and Canadian school educators and educational researchers to reframe Sino-Western relationships within the Canada-China Sister School Network, especially during a time of geopolitical tensions and uncertainties. The authors demonstrate that intercultural reciprocal learning between Western and Chinese education is not merely a theoretical concept but a tangible reality embedded in the daily practices and actions of school educators and researchers. It is this practical, experiential, and embodied understanding of West-East reciprocal learning that holds educational hope and promise for the future, forming the essence of this book.

Western College for Women (Campus History)
by Jacqueline JohnsonWestern Female Seminary, the first daughter institution of Mount Holyoke College, opened its doors in 1855 as a Christian institution. The seminary, which became Western College for Women, was founded on the Mt. Holyoke plan, with a strong emphasis on academics. Many of its graduates in the 19th century served as home and foreign missionaries, and by the 20th century, young women from many foreign countries attended Western. In the 1950s, the curriculum was expanded to include a strong international emphasis. Western was the first college in the country to have an artist-in-residence, when composer Edgar Stillman Kelley was invited to live on campus. Western attracted national attention when it hosted civil rights training for Freedom Summer 1964. In the 1970s, independent study programs were developed, and the college became coeducational. With its diverse architecture and the early emphasis on landscaping on its rolling campus, the college was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
