Freire and Environmentalism: Ecopedagogy (Freire in Focus)

Building on Paulo Freire's educational theory and critical pedagogy movements, this book provides a short and accessible introduction to ecopedagogy – Freirean environmental teaching and environmentalism overall. Ecopedagogy offers a political and educational vision that strives for a critical, culturally relevant forms of knowledge centred on sustainability for securing the future of our planet, ending all forms of oppression, and ensuring peace globally. Using examples from around the globe, Misiaszek shows how different populations (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity) are affected in unbalanced ways by ongoing environmental destruction and argues that these systematic socio-environmental inequalities are ignored in much of environmental teaching. He argues through reinventing Freire's work that environmental justice is inseparable to social justice and should be seen as part of wider debates around, for example, globalization, development, citizenship, racism, feminism, neo/colonialization, and linguistics. The book calls for global and local approaches to understanding socio-environmental issues beyond anthropocentric models (beyond humans) and epistemologies of the North (e.g., Western knowledges). Written for anyone with an interest in environmentalism this book offers news ways of thinking and teaching about environmental crises we are living through.

Freire's Key Terms (Freire in Focus)

This book brings together clear and concise definitions of 33 key terms used by the great educational thinker, Paulo Freire.

The book shows the significance of Freire's legacy, and offers an opportunity to put into practice, rethink, and remake his proposal for a radical model of education.

Freizeitaktivitäten, chronischer Stress und protektive Ressourcen: Längsschnittstudie zu hohen Leistungsanforderungen in Sport und Musik im Kindesalter (Bildung und Sport #7)

Karen Hemming untersucht die Effekte von sportlichen und musischen Freizeitaktivitäten auf chronischen Stress sowie auf die Entwicklung von Persönlichkeit und sozialem Rückhalt im Grundschulalter. Kinder, die sich leistungsorientiert im Sport oder im Thomanerchor engagieren, werden mit Kindern verglichen, die freizeitorientiert in Sport und Musik aktiv sind oder nicht in institutionelle Freizeitaktivitäten eingebunden sind. Das ambitionierte quantitativ-längsschnittliche Untersuchungsdesign ermöglicht neue Einsichten: Überlasten hohe Leistungsanforderungen in Sport oder Musik die Kinder? Beeinflussen die Aktivitäten die Entwicklung? Oder sind es besondere Kinder, die sich besonders hohen Anforderungen stellen?

„Fremde“ Kinder in deutschen Bildungsinstitutionen?: Biographische Reflexionen über Differenz- und Rassismuserfahrungen (Inklusion und Bildung in Migrationsgesellschaften)

Im Rahmen seiner Analyse in Anlehnung an die konstruktivistische Grounded-Theory-Methodologie zeigt er auf, wie diese Erfahrungen im Rahmen biographischer Prozesse reflektiert und in Entscheidungen hinsichtlich der Bildung der eigenen Kinder überführt werden. Diese Entscheidungen beziehen sich etwa auf die Auswahl konkreter Bildungseinrichtungen und sollen dazu dienen, die eigenen Kinder vor Erfahrungen von Differenz und Rassismus im Kontext von Bildungsinstitutionen zu schützen.

Fremdsprachliche Literaturdidaktik: Plädoyer für die Realisierung bildender Erfahrungsräume im Unterricht

​Auf Grundlage eines rezeptionsästhetischen Literaturverständnisses und einer „sinnorientierten Didaktik“ (Gebhard & Combe 2007) rekonstruiert Elisabeth Bracker in ihrer Arbeit Schülergespräche mithilfe der dokumentarischen Methode, die sich an einem literar-ästhetischen Gegenstand im Englischunterricht entzünden. Über die Rekonstruktion ermöglicht die Autorin Einblicke in sprachliche, inhaltliche und interaktional-soziale (Sinnstiftungs-)Prozesse, die sich in einem schulisch inszenierten „literarischen Erfahrungsraum“ abspielen. Insgesamt versteht sich die Arbeit als Plädoyer für die Realisierung bildender Erfahrungsräume im Unterricht.
