Push Back!: How to Take a Stand Against Groupthink, Bullies, Agitators, and Professional Manipulators
by B. K. EakmanHow many times have you had the unsettling experience of being treated as a troublemaker as soon as you question or raise an objection to a school policy, a textbook, a course of study, a new county regulation, or a community proposal?Every day, attendees of conferences, community forums, PTA meetings, and board meetings are made to feel uncomfortable and occasionally foolish by the person or persons leading the meeting. The speakers, moderators, or provocateurs-whom author B. K. Eakman refers to as professional manipulators-hold power over the room and know how to steer the discussion back to their agendas without ever answering audience questions or addressing their concerns. These people use techniques to ostracize those brave enough to stand and question or criticize them.With Push Back!, readers will be able to counter group manipulation tactics by learning to:Recognize psychologically controlled environmentsIdentify the professional agitator/provocateurExamine components of psych warUndercut faulty, distorted, and biased arguments of opponentsSquelch techniques used to rebuff audience members who complain or balkNeutralize consensus-building techniquesAnd much more

Pädagogisches Ethos: Zur Theorie des professionellen Handelns von Lehrpersonen
by Tanja ObexDie Dissertation beschäftigt sich aus professionstheoretischer Perspektive mit dem Phänomen des pädagogischen Ethos von Lehrer*innen. Sie will eine Antwort auf folgende Frage geben: Wie kann Ethos als Element pädagogischer Professionalität von Lehrer*innen konzipiert werden, und welche Elemente enthält eine solche Theorie des pädagogischen Ethos? Ausgangspunkt ist erstens die Feststellung, dass Ethos zwar als zentrales Element pädagogisch professionellen Handelns gilt, eine systematische Integration in Modelle professionellen Handels aber bislang nicht vorliegt. Zweitens wird die Kritik an einer strukturtheoretischen Professionstheorie geteilt, die durch die Hervorhebung von Widersprüchen und Antinomien im Handeln von Lehrpersonen den Beruf als einen unmöglichen rahmen. Die These lautet, dass sich mit einem Konzept von Ethos als Praxis ein pädagogischer Umgang mit strukturellen Antinomien beschreiben lässt, ohne den Anspruch auf Professionalität aufgeben zu müssen. Ausgehend von Hans Joas‘ Theorie des kreativen Handelns wird pädagogisches Ethos als spezifische Form experimentellen Handelns mit den Dimensionen Kontingenz, Ethik und Macht konzipiert. Ethos antwortet auf Handlungshemmungen, die durch pädagogische Antinomien ausgelöst werden. Mittels Analysen von videografiertem Unterrichtsmaterial lassen sich die Aspekte Relationalität und Körperlichkeit als Denkvoraussetzungen einer Theorie des pädagogischen Ethos rekonstruieren. Pädagogisches Ethos hat die Qualität eines experimentellen Handelns, weil ‚unmögliche‘ Entscheidungen getroffen werden, die einer Rationalität eigener Art folgen: einer Rationalität, die in dem – unausgesprochenen – Versprechen gegenüber sich selbst gründet, eine ‚Sache‘ gut zu machen.
