by Lan Yang Jiesi Guo Ricci W. FongThis book examines the needs, psychological agents, practices and interventions that are pertinent to developing social and emotional competence among students with diverse needs in the 21st century. It attends to a range of contemporary developmental issues, strategies, and sociocultural contexts that have been much overlooked in the special and inclusive education arena, by showcasing a series of empirical, meta-analytical and review papers. While much has been written about various types of special educational needs, this book takes a broader view of the discipline by capturing topics that are not only related to students with special educational needs, but also those related to twice-exceptional students, left-behind children of Chinese migrant parents, sexually-diverse students, and students who are disadvantaged in various ways. It focuses on developing social and emotional well-being among diverse learners for the 21st century. Contemporary issues such as developing students&’ adaptability, addressing sexuality issues in school, promoting teachers&’ emotional well-being, nurturing talents and supporting left-behind children are challenges that researchers, educators and policymakers have to attend to in the coming decades. This book offers valuable insights into addressing some of these key 21st century challenges in special and inclusive education. Showcasing an Asian perspective, this book opens readers to empirical findings, issues and practices beyond the Anglosphere. Taken together, this book is a valuable addition to readers&’ collections within the spectrum of practices and perspectives offered by scholars and practitioners from both Western and Asian contexts. This book serves as a helpful resource for researchers, educators, counselors and policymakers who are interested in enhancing the social and emotional development of diverse learners.
Social and Emotional Learning as Foundation for Future Readiness: Translating Research to Practice (Education Science, Evidence, and the Public Good #3)
by V. Scott H. Solberg Chong Myung Park Lea Ferrari Andreea-Diana Scoda Nurten Karacan Ozdemir Gloria MarsayThe book offers a global perspective on social and emotional learning skills (SEL) by summarizing findings from a collaborative multi-national and cross-cultural study of educator perceptions regarding the nature and value of SEL skills conducted by career development researchers from 19 countries. In addition to promoting success in education, SEL skills serve as the “durable,” human skills that support success in the world of work. The chapters explore research from three key regions: the Global South, Asia, and the Global North. Alongside comparative analyses of SEL, the book highlights strategies for designing culturally responsive interventions to develop SEL and future-readiness skills. Each region provides tailored recommendations for implementing SEL and career development programs and services. This collaborative research effort offers a unique opportunity to reexamine assumptions underpinning career development theory and practice. It presents a transformative research model that conceptualizes SEL skills policies and practices that are responsive to the diverse sociopolitical contexts and cultural values found in different regions around the world.

Soft Skills in Education: Putting the evidence in perspective
by Jaap Scheerens Greetje van der Werf Hester de BoerThis book examines the global movement of putting more emphasis on students’ social and emotional development in education. It provides some order in the unstructured multitude of desirable socio-emotional educational objectives and ambitions that have resulted from this movement and builds on a careful conceptual analysis. It starts out by examining the roots of the movement and discusses different emphases. Next it makes use of instructional and psychological constructs and theories to arrive at meaningful categorizations of major domains and types of social-emotional “skills”. One of the key assumptions is that social and emotional attributes are malleable by means of educational interventions. The book reviews available research evidence for this assumption, taking into account psychological studies and meta-analyses. It then creates new evidence based on a new meta-analysis, which concentrated on the effects of educational interventions on skills associated with the conscientiousness factor of the Big5 taxonomy. In the final chapter, the book discusses the implications for educational policy and practice; a discussion in which attention is given to political and ethical questions about the desirability of treating social and emotional attributes as educational goals.

Source Criticism on the Schedule: Teaching Critical Thinking (Springer Texts in Education)
by Anna Rosenqvist Stefan EkecrantzThis textbook is a practical and theoretical teacher guide on how to develop critical thinking and source criticism in contemporary elementary and secondary education, which requires students to develop their critical thinking from different perspectives as well as to develop their ability to critically evaluate sources they use for school-related work. What can a teacher do to support such development? The authors discuss several different perspectives on how one, as a teacher, can think about and work with source criticism together with the students. In the first part of the book a theoretical background and a principled discussion of critical thinking are discussed. This includes psychological and philosophical perspectives on source criticism. In the second part there are concrete teaching examples and tips on how to work with source criticism in both primary and secondary school.
Sources for a Better Education: Lessons from Research and Best Practices (Springer Texts in Education)
by Piet KommersThis textbook evolves from the intersection between ‘Research’, ‘Educational Information Technologies’ and recent ‘Best Practices’. It offers diplomacy and erudite rhetoric in order to harvest from innovation projects and see how new professional needs for teachers are emerging day by day. The volume launches the compact background for the 21st century education that every teacher faces after being in charge for 3 or 6 years after pre-service training. ‘Sources for a better education’ refers to the deep understanding and to the incentives for encouraging teachers to leave the comfort zone and experiment the next steps into a further sophisticated professionalism, without the threat of feeling in a ‘Dilemma’.The first candidate for extending one’s teaching effectiveness is to tailor one’s teaching to the test to be expected. ‘Teaching to the Test’ is an understandable tactic, however it endangers the students’ full understanding of underlying concepts and analogies. The second candidate for professionalism is the deeper layer of knowledge on how curricular domains are related. In simpler terms: better teachers know how to ‘bridge’ topics and subjects so that students develop a deeper understanding on the patterns and structure in knowledge. The 21st century education prioritizes higher degrees of flexible-, divergent and abstract thinking, so that creative problem solving comes into reach. ICT tools for making prior knowledge explicit is a major example on how learners harvest upon prior knowledge, thinking and intuition. The third source for a better education is the courage to envisage one’s meta knowledge in order to see patterns in learning and understanding. The more conscious prior knowledge gets decompiled into genetic metaphors; the better future learning can be anticipated. The fourth asset for meta-cognitive skills is the wide spectrum of tools that the web offers for building knowledge infra-structures so that knowledge becomes transformed into problem solving skills; the availability of knowledge is no longer sufficient for finding creative and authentic solutions in future situations. This is the case for both students and teachers. By tradition, the bottom-up strategy from reproductive factual learning up to the levels of problem solving and creative thinking has been favoured. The ‘one-click away’ access to information on the web asks a more strategic attitude from learners and practitioners to cope with the periphery between known and unknown, so that a more effective meta-cognition develops. The fifth stimulus for more effective learning is the expanding impact of social media. Social media tend to intimidate learners with incomplete understanding to jump on biases as delivered through political and conspiracy agendas. This books aims at the challenge to build upon learners’ existential needs and developing interest for a longer-term learning perspective.“Renaissance man and philosopher Piet Kommers presents us with an interesting question: What makes education exciting? His book covers a range of lessons learnt through research and practice, covering philosophies and paradoxes, ranging from learning to learn to machine learning for learning. In 35 chapters he takes us on an exciting, comprehensive journey of just about every conceivable aspect of technology and education. This is a must-have for every 21st Century bookshelf!” By: Johannes Cronjé, professor of Digital Teaching and Learning in the Department of Information Technology at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa.“Piet Kommers has in 400 pages provided an overview of teaching based on practical experience. It is not a summary of pedagogic models, but a guide to important factors in how to motivate students and thus improve their learning. New technologies changes teaching, and we need to understand how application of such technologies can improve the learning. This book provides such knowledge and I wish I had it when I started teaching at university many years ago.” By: Jan
Soziale Raumkonstitutionen von Studierenden: Eine qualitative empirische Analyse an privaten Hochschulen (Higher Education Research and Science Studies)
by Jessica BaierDie empirische Arbeit widmet sich Hochschulen in privater Trägerschaft aus Sicht ihrer Studierenden. Aufgrund spezifischer Standortlogiken können private Hochschulen in ihren dualen, berufsbegleitenden oder -integrierten Studienformaten lokale bzw. regionale Arbeitsmarkt- und Wirtschaftsstrukturen berücksichtigen oder eine Orientierung an der vorhandenen Fachkräftenachfrage vornehmen. Im Forschungsprozess kommen aus diesem Grund raumsoziologische Zugänge von Martina Löw und Georg Simmel zur Anwendung. Mit diesen werden studentische Nutzungen, Aneignungen und Wahrnehmungen als sozial erzeugte (Hochschul-)Räume untersucht, in die die private Hochschule auf unterschiedliche Weise als räumlicher Bezugspunkt einfließt. Ergebnis der empirischen Analyse in Orientierung an der Vorgehensweise der Grounded-Theory-Methodologie bilden empirische und Idealtypen, die Einblicke in Studierendensichten auf die private Hochschule, das Hochschulstudium und den Hochschulstandort geben. Für die Hochschulforschung werden Erkenntnisse darüber beigesteuert, in welcher Hinsicht private Hochschulen und ihre Standorte für Studierende interessant sind. Für das Hochschulmanagement kann abgeleitet werden, inwiefern Angebote der Hochschule und des Standortes durch Studierende aufgegriffen werden, um diese künftig adäquat zu adressieren und ggf. besser örtlich binden zu können.
