Umgang mit Fehlern und seine Bedeutung für den Lernerfolg im Englischunterricht
by Julia KäferDie Arbeit widmet sich dem Umgang mit Fehlern im Unterricht und untersucht empirisch seine Bedeutung für den Lernerfolg von Schülerinnen und Schülern im Fach Englisch der Sekundarstufe I. Hierzu wird ein multiperspektivischer Untersuchungsansatz verfolgt: Neben der Perspektive der Schülerinnen und Schüler werden auch Einschätzungen externer Beobachterinnen und Beobachter zum Umgang mit Fehlern im Unterricht herangezogen. Unter Berücksichtigung des aktuellen theoretischen und methodischen Forschungsstandes wird damit einerseits der Zusammenhang zwischen der Wahrnehmung von Schülerinnen und Schülern zum Umgang mit Fehlern im Unterricht und ihrer Leistung wie auch ihrer Lernmotivation untersucht und gleichzeitig geprüft, inwieweit die Schülerwahrnehmung durch individuelle Schülermerkmale sowie durch Merkmale des Lernkontexts beeinflusst wird. Andererseits wird in dieser Arbeit das Potenzial der in der empirischen Unterrichtsforschung bislang wenig eingesetzten Thin-Slices-Methode exploriert und geprüft, inwieweit heuristische Urteile externer Beobachterinnen und Beobachter geeignet sind, um ein so spezifisches und komplexes Unterrichtsmerkmal wie den Umgang mit Fehlern zuverlässig zu erfassen.

Understanding the Holocaust at KS3: How and why did it happen?
by Professor Stuart Foster Dr Andy Pearce Dr Eleni Karayianni Helen McCordIn 2016 the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education published a landmark study, What do students know and understand about the Holocaust?

Understanding-Oriented Pedagogy to Strengthen Plagiarism-Free Academic Writing: Findings From Studies in China
by Yin ZhangThis book discusses the plagiarism-free academic writing in higher education. It demonstrates how to orchestrate an understanding-oriented pedagogy (including the teaching of plagiarism and source use) in order to facilitate plagiarism-free academic writing among undergraduates by revealing studies in China. This book emphasizes that plagiarism is a mere symptom of educational problems and plagiarism urgently needs education-based solutions instead of punish solutions. It highlights that students' meaningful understandings of plagiarism and source use should be identified as the main learning objectives of plagiarism instruction, as well as features the adoption of plagiarism instruction in academic writing practices in subject courses. It also focuses on the potentials of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in scaffolding learning and teaching under plagiarism pedagogy beyond merely detecting plagiarism. This book also contributes to the discussion about the validity of current plagiarism assessment scales by providing evidences to challenge them and proposing a new one. This book is of great benefits for readers to increase knowledge and promote positive attitudes toward plagiarism and plagiarism instruction. It adds to our knowledge of how plagiarism in higher education can be effectively prevented by adopting an understanding-oriented pedagogy. It also adds to our knowledge of how Chinese undergraduates and their instructors view plagiarism and cope with plagiarism in discipline-based courses, which provides robust evidence for the academic debate about whether culture has effects on students’ plagiarism in academic writing. Finally, it provides insights about the relationship among plagiarism, pedagogy, and technology.

by Nicole VetterDas Buch beleuchtet das in Deutschland noch relativ junge Feld zivilgesellschaftlichen Bildungsengagements aus ungleichheitssoziologischer Perspektive anhand eines konkreten Falls: Ein studentischer Verein, der ‚motivierten‘ und gleichzeitig ‚sozial benachteiligten‘ Schüler*innen der Sekundarstufe I kostenfreie Nachhilfe in den Kernfächern an Schulen in einem großstädtischen Raum ermöglicht.
