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. Die Studie rekonstruiert, welche Wahrnehmungen sozialer Ungleichheit engagierte Studierende bezüglich ihres auf den Abbau von (Bildungs-)Benachteiligung gerichteten Handelns besitzen und wie diese die ehrenamtliche Handlungsorientierung strukturieren.

Unified English Braille: Australian Training Manual
by Josie Howse Kathy Riessen Leona HollowayUnified English Braille (UEB) was adopted for use by the Australian Braille Authority (ABA) in May 2005; with an envisaged five year transition period. Since 2010, it has been Australia's only braille code in use. Following the adoption of UEB, our major braille producers commenced implementing the code almost immediately and an urgent need for teaching materials in the new, but still developing, braille code was created. Thus, the Unified English Braille Primer: Australian Edition followed shortly afterwards, with the Preliminary Edition in 2006 and an update in 2008. As time passed, the UEB code has been refined and the UEB rules are now articulated in The Rules of Unified English Braille: Second Edition 2013 ("The Rulebook" as it is commonly known).

Unity from Diversity: Pluralist Systemic Thinking for Social and Behavioural Research
by Ray W. CookseyThis book is about the choices that researchers can make when building knowledge in social and behavioural spaces. Knowledge is the unity we seek and, given that social and behavioural research is a human endeavour focusing on human lives and experiences, there are diverse and ever-evolving pathways towards achieving that unity. Any one pathway will only ever yield partial glimpses into human life and diversity of potential choices serves to enrich, expand, and enlarge those glimpses in pursuit of more complete understanding. The book shows that researchers and the researched are far more connected than disconnected in this world and those connections are spread out through a network of interlinked complex systems. The book argues that pluralist systemic thinking provides the means by which a researcher’s methodological choices for navigating the ‘Data Triangle’ (comprising data source, data gathering, and data analysis strategies) and the learning they provide can be fully and robustly contextualised with respect to those systems and the expectations and influences that emerge from them. Such contextualisations facilitate the refinement, augmentation, and/or narrowing of those choices during the researcher’s journey. Anticipating choices downstream may have implications for more immediate choices and more immediate choices may create a cascade of necessary downstream choices. An essential part of contextualisation involves making choices about patterns of guiding assumptions, modes of knowledge building, and research frames. Researchers must develop the capacity to be flexible and adapt to unanticipated emergent events, obstacles, and political influences, making trade-offs where necessary throughout their research journey, always with an eye on both feasibility and quality. Importantly, research has no meaning unless the researcher can ensure that it connects with intended audiences via specific research outcomes, especially since the ultimate judgments about the convincingness, meaningfulness, quality, and utility of the research are vested in those audiences. Throughout the book, special attention is devoted to the role(s) that stakeholders and gatekeepers play in shaping the researcher’s journey as well as to what can be learned from Indigenous/First Nations perspectives on social and behavioural research.

User Research with Kids: How to Effectively Conduct Research with Participants Aged 3-16
by Thomas Visby SnitkerIf you are a designer, producer, marketer, or researcher creating products for children, it is essential that you are aware of the key differences between children and adults when it comes to user journeys. While children might speak the same language as adult users, what they are actually communicating can be completely different. User Research with Kids explores these differences and more. Author Thomas Visby Snitker walks you through how to best approach user research with children through the processes of conceptualization, design, prototyping, and eventually the launch. Adults who research kids’ experiences venture into a familiar yet foreign land where the inhabitants speak a different (yet familiar) language and have different behavioral norms and values. It is important for researchers to decipher and understand this language. Including children in the process will lead to better targeted and better designed products, and User Research with Kids will help you attain this goal. Snitker’s useful insights in this book will help professionals and students in all sectors of research, design, and innovation. User Research with Kids will teach you how to better work with children using key approaches, such as understanding what play is and holistically measuring experience from a child’s cognitive perspective. Apply research rigor and best practices for your next product launch, and expand your user understanding with User Research with Kids.What You Will LearnIncorporate play and best practice to a research project with kids as (or among) the participantsApproach, scope, prepare, execute, and report research projectsChoose the method and approach that is best suited for the needs of your project and stakeholdersWho This Book Is ForDesigners, producers, marketers, or researchers with kids as the audience, or students.
