Bildungsforschung: Erziehungswissenschaftliche Perspektiven (Kindheit – Bildung – Erziehung. Philosophische Perspektiven)
by Johannes Drerup Werner Thole Nina Göddertz Ruprecht Mattig Uwe UhlendorffDer Begriff ‚Bildungsforschung‘ erweist sich als nicht minder umstritten als der Begriff der Bildung selbst. Bildungsforschung fungiert in der Diskussion häufig als eine Art Regenschirmbegriff, mit dem ein Forschungsprofil markiert wird, das es ermöglichen soll, schulische, insbesondere unterrichtsbezogene Bildungsprozesse empirisch zu erfassen und von Schüler*innen zu erwerbende Kompetenzen festzulegen und mit Hilfe quantitativer Verfahren zu evaluieren. Im Rahmen von anderen Forschungstraditionen geht man auf kritische Distanz zu diesem inhaltlich und methodisch allzu sehr eingeschränkten Verständnis von Bildungsforschung. Im Zentrum des Bandes stehen erziehungswissenschaftliche Zugänge und Beiträge zur Bildungsforschung und damit verbundene disziplinäre Perspektiven und forschungsmethodologische Fragestellungen.

Biomonitoring of Pollutants in the Global South
by Sylvester Chibueze Izah Matthew Chidozie Ogwu Hossein HamidifarThe edited book serves as a reference on indicators of environmental pollution and how to sustainably ascertain the effects of different pollutants on life forms. It addresses an improved technology for monitoring contaminants, especially in the Global South and beyond, where the level of technology available for sustainable management of environmental quality is limited. Biomonitoring ecosystems' health by using organisms to gather quantitative data on environmental quality is one of the most straightforward and affordable ways to check environmental quality. Since organisms may function as environmental sensors, their use in the direct measurement of environmental quality in the process of biomonitoring studies implicates the health status of various ecosystems. In this regard, microorganisms, higher and lower plants, invertebrates, and vertebrate animals are beneficial since they can detect pollution levels and pollutants in the environment. This book is of interest and useful to toxicologists, water, soil, and air quality experts, practitioners, trainees, and trainers, biological sciences scientists, academicians, researchers, students (especially undergraduates and postgraduates), libraries, and other public knowledge repositories interested in novel and advanced practices in sustainable biomonitoring of environmental pollutants.
