Professionalisierung durch Milieuaktivierung und Sozialraumorientierung?: Caritas-Sozialarbeit in der Entwicklung
by Peter-Georg AlbrechtSozialraumorientierung ist das neue Paradigma Sozialer Arbeit.

Professionalisierung durch Supervision: Perspektiven im Wandlungsprozess sozialer Organisationen
by Gertrud SillerVorgestellt wird eine neue Perspektive kontextbezogener empirischer Supervisionsforschung, die sich als Teil sozialwissenschaftlicher Beratungsforschung versteht und der rekonstruktiven Sozialforschung zuzuordnen ist. Die Studie zeigt auf der Basis von Fallrekonstruktionen, wie Reorganisationsprozesse im Non-Profit-Bereich in der arbeitsweltbezogenen Reflexionsform Supervision als individuelle berufliche Orientierungs- und Entwicklungsnotwendigkeiten zum Ausdruck kommen. Als neue Eckpfeiler der Anforderungen an professionelles Handeln erweisen sich eine größere strukturelle Selbststeuerung der Arbeit auf der einen Seite und eine Orientierung an standardisierten Qualitätskriterien auf der anderen. Professionstheoretisch wird deshalb die Spezifik professionellen Handelns im Sozial- und Gesundheitswesen neu diskutiert. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser empirischen und theoretischen Analysen werden Entwicklungslinien aufgezeigt, mit denen das supervisorische Setting der Mehrperspektivität zu flexibilisieren und gleichzeitig zu stärken ist. Dies kann nur gelingen, so die These, wenn die Debatte zur Professionalisierung von und durch Supervision um eine sozialpolitische Dimension erweitert wird.
Professionalität in der Schuldnerberatung: Handlungstypen im Vergleich
by Monika ThomsenIm Rahmen dieser Abhandlung werden aufgrund von zwanzig qualitativen Interviews sechs Typen professioneller Selbstverständnisse von Schuldnerberaterinnen und -beratern rekonstruiert, die sich in erster Linie auf die konkrete Gestaltung der Beratungssituation beziehen. Wesentlich hierfür sind Unterschiede bezüglich der Kategorien 'Beratungsorientierung', 'emotionale Haltung' und 'Positionierung zwischen Schuldner und Gläubiger'. Diese zentralen Kategorien korrespondieren mit individuellen Faktoren der beratenden Personen sowie den strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen der jeweiligen Organisation, in der die Berater tätig sind, welche allerdings für die Typenbildung nur eine nachrangige Rolle gespielt haben.

Promoting Positive Development in Early Childhood: Building Blocks for a Successful Start (The Search Institute Series on Developmentally Attentive Community and Society #6)
by Karen VanderVenThis new volume in the Search Institute Series on Developmentally Attentive Community and Society represents a milestone in Search Institute’s signature work on the Developmental Assets that children and adolescents need in their lives to succeed. Through the research behind this book, Karen VanderVen links this strength-based, community-based approach to human development to early childhood development and practice. In doing so, she advances a lo- term vision of understanding child and adolescent development not merely as a series of discrete stages, but as a trajectory of development in which experiences in each phase of development link to, reinforce, or redirect experiences in other aspects of life. To be sure, VanderVen explores with both breadth and depth a parti- larly critical time in child development: the early childhood years, ages 3–5. The latest research in numerous ?elds has only increased our understanding of how important it is for communities to attend to children’s developmental expe- ences in these crucial years. Positive development in early childhood leads young people on a path to a healthy adulthood; and a lack of positive dev- opment in early childhood has a blunting effect that extends into elementary and secondary schooling years.

The Psychology of Teaching Physical Education: From Theory to Practice
by Bonnie BlankenshipThis book weaves together theory, research, and practical information related to the psychological aspects of physical education. Unlike other exercise/sport psychology books on the market, The Psychology of Teaching Physical Education is written especially for future and practicing physical educators and focuses on the psychological principles and strategies that are most relevant to them. The book covers the important topics of motivation, reinforcement, feedback, modeling, prosocial behaviors/moral development, and self-perception. In each chapter, narratives about real practicing teachers show how they apply the principles and theories of psychology to physical education, and particularly to actual situations that readers are likely to encounter professionally. Each chapter contains three main sections: following an opening scenario in which Blankenship captures the reader's attention with a real-life problem, the author then (1) highlights theories related to the subject matter of the chapter, (2) summarizes the research that has been conducted on the theories and the chapter topic, and (3) gives examples of practical applications of the theory and research to physical education. Throughout the chapter, as the theory, research, and application of the topic are discussed, Blankenship presents possible solutions to the challenge presented in the chapter-opening vignette. The classroom applications and real-world examples are relevant to many different physical education settings, including those at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, in both urban and rural schools representing various geographical regions of the country. These examples bring the theories to life and help readers envision how their own classes will benefit as they apply what theyÃve learned about the psychology of teaching physical education. Key Features of the Book A theory-to-research-to-practice approach. An author whose background in both sport psychology and physical education makes her uniquely qualified to write this book. Chapter-ending application exercises that encourage readers to go beyond rote memorization of concepts and principles to apply what they learned in various specific examples. Sample instructional models and guidelines to enable readers to incorporate concepts discussed in the chapter into their own classes. A comprehensive glossary.
