Problematising Young People: A Critical Ethnographic Investigation of ADHD

by Charles Marley

Rather than being evidence-based, the 'everyday' practice of ADHD health care enacted daily by a multitude of professionals is the result of the interaction of historical, social, political, economic and institutional elements. By drawing on several critical theorists, this book provides an ethnographic investigation of the nexus of elements that conditioned the possibility for the everyday social practice of ADHD to be in place within an NHS region in Scotland. The book develops a critical analytical approach, using the concepts of 'problematisation' and the 'apparatus' to capture a two-stage process - the questioning of how and why certain 'things' become a problem, but also how these 'things' are shaped as the objects that they become. The object of interest for this project was young people and the fieldwork was conducted in a small geographical region in Scotland, consisting of several periods in health and education services. Ethnographic tools utilised in the book include observation of clinical appointments, document analysis, interviews and archival research. The different layers of qualitative material examined in the study - from individual clinical appointment to national policy - have allowed for a reconnection of the discursive field in which the current practice of ADHD emerged. With a detailed theorisation of the theoretical concepts, as well as a clear account of application in empirical research, this book will act as a guide for researchers aiming to apply these concepts in applied research.

Problematizing Identity: Everyday Struggles in Language, Culture, and Education

by Angel M. Y. Lin

This book argues that identity as a term needs to be problematized, not taken for granted � for both the risks and the potential that the concept offers to educators for understanding issues of social inequality and how social inequality is being reproduced, and for exploring possible alternative ways educators can work with identity de/formation p

Problematizing Public Pedagogy

by Jake Burdick Jennifer A. Sandlin Michael P. O’Malley

The term ‘public pedagogy’ is given a variety of definitions and meanings by those who employ it. It is often used without adequately explicating its meaning, its context, or its location within differing and contested articulations of the construct. Problematizing Public Pedagogy brings together renowned and emerging scholars in the field of education to provide a theoretical, methodological, ethical, and practical ground from which other scholars and activists can explore these forms of education. At the same time it increases the viability of the concept of public pedagogy itself. Beyond adding a multifaceted set of critical lenses to the genre of public pedagogy inquiry and theorizing, this volume adds nuance to the broader field of education research overall.

Probleme beim Übergang von Arithmetik zu Algebra (Kölner Beiträge zur Didaktik der Mathematik)

by Katrin Schiffer

Anhand einer Schulbuchanalyse zeigt Katrin Schiffer, dass Schülerinnen und Schüler im heutigen Mathematikunterricht eine stark empirisch-gegenständlich geprägte Auffassung von Algebra erlangen. Diese empirische Auffassung steht im Kontrast zu der üblicherweise formal abstrakten Auffassung der Lehrer. Die Autorin legt jedoch anhand der Analyse von Eulers Lehrbuch „Vollständige Anleitung zur Algebra“ dar, dass die empirische Auffassung historisch berechtigt ist und eine adäquate Beschreibung der Schülertheorien darstellt. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse zeigen, an welchen Stellen im Lernprozess wahrscheinlich Schwierigkeiten beim Erlernen der Algebra auftreten werden, und dass diese Schwierigkeiten auf strukturellen Problemen beruhen.

Problemhaltige Textaufgaben lösen: Einfluss eines Repräsentationstrainings auf den Lösungsprozess von Drittklässlern (Landauer Beiträge zur mathematikdidaktischen Forschung)

by Nina Sturm

Nina Sturm analysiert, inwiefern Drittklässler beim Lösen problemhaltiger Textaufgaben von externen Repräsentationen profitieren können. Die Autorin untersucht, ob eine mehrwöchige Intervention, bei der die Generierung und Nutzung externer Repräsentationen als kognitive Werkzeuge sowie als Reflexionsgrundlage gefördert wurde, eine Kompetenzsteigerung der Grundschulkinder beim Lösen problemhaltiger Textaufgaben bewirkt. Externen Repräsentationen wird in der Fachdidaktik und in der Psychologie eine lösungsunterstützende Funktion zugesprochen. Demgegenüber steht die Beobachtung, dass sie von Lernenden nur sparsam oder gar nicht genutzt werden und in der Regel beim Lösen auf Routinen und die Reproduktion von Wissen zurückgegriffen wird. Dieser Problematik wirkt die Förderung erfolgreich entgegen.

Problemlösekompetenz von Schülerinnen und Schülern: Diagnostische Ansätze, theoretische Grundlagen und empirische Befunde der deutschen PISA-2000-Studie

by Eckhard Klieme Detlev Leutner Joachim Wirth

In der Reihe der thematischen Berichte zur PISA-2000-Studie geht dieser Band der Frage nach, wie die Problemlösekompetenz von Jugendlichen im Rahmen von large-scale assessments definiert und erfasst werden kann. Es werden analytische von dynamischen Aspekten der Problemlösekompetenz unterschieden. Für die Erfassung analytischer Aspekte werden Papier-und-Bleistiftverfahren entwickelt und evaluiert, dynamische Aspekte werden mittels computergestützter Verfahren erhoben. Zudem wird ein Verfahren zur Erfassung kooperativen Problemlösens vorgestellt. Die Kompetenzstruktur des Problemlösens wird im Zusammenspiel mit schulischen Kompetenzen und familiären Merkmalen analysiert.

Problemlösen: Begriff – Strategien – Einflussgrößen – Unterricht – (häusliche) Förderung

by Ulrike Kipman

Problemlösen gilt als eine der Schlüsselqualifikationen des 21. Jahrhunderts. Es geht beim Problemlösen nicht nur darum, Informationen sinnvoll zu vernetzen, dynamisch in Beziehung zu setzen, Wahrscheinlichkeiten zu berechnen und eine Kette richtiger Entscheidungen zu treffen, sondern auch vielfach darum, eine Vielzahl an Außenkriterien zu berücksichtigen und ein entsprechendes „Weltwissen“ an den Tag zu legen. Dieses Buch soll die Frage beantworten, wie man zu einem guten Problemlöser / einer guten Problemlöserin werden kann bzw. warum bestimmte Personen bei der Lösung von Problemen erfolgreicher sind als andere. Nach einer umfassenden Zusammenstellung der Literatur zu diesem Thema werden Einflussgrößen auf das Problemlösen analysiert und miteinander abgeglichen und Ideen für den Unterricht in der Primarstufe und Sekundarstufe I präsentiert. Zudem werden verschiedene Arten des Unterrichts im Hinblick auf die Wirksamkeit für unterschiedliche Personengruppen diskutiert, dies vor dem Hintergrund, dass nicht nur Problemstellungen stark variieren sondern auch die Problemlöser/innen. Eine Handreichung mit Brettspielen, die die Kriterien des Problemlösens erfüllen, ist ebenfalls Teil dieses Buches. Letztendlich wird ein Modell vorgeschlagen, welches erfolgreiches Problemlösen vielschichtig zu erklären versucht.

Problemlösen lernen mit digitalen Medien: Förderung grundlegender Problemlösetechniken durch den Einsatz dynamischer Werkzeuge (Freiburger Empirische Forschung in der Mathematikdidaktik)

by Reinhold Haug

Ziel des Lernens mit dynamischen Werkzeugen sind der effektive Wissensaufbau und der Erwerb allgemeiner heuristischer Kompetenzen. Häufig bieten jedoch offene Lernumgebungen mit solchen Werkzeugen Schülerinnen und Schülern nicht genügend Orientierung, Strukturierung und Unterstützung. Auf der Grundlage aktueller Forschungsergebnisse im Bereich dynamischer Geometriesysteme (DGS) konzipiert Reinhold Haug eine stark vorstrukturierende und zugleich Reflexionen anregende Lernumgebung für den selbstständigen Erwerb grundlegender Problemlösetechniken. Er entwickelt eigene quantitative und qualitative Messinstrumente und untersucht in einer Interventionsstudie, wie Schülerinnen und Schüler beim Erwerb von Problemlösetechniken gefördert werden können. Seine Studie leistet darüber hinaus interessante Einblicke in die Werkzeugnutzung beim Problemlösen. Lehrerinnen und Lehrer erhalten damit Anhaltspunkte für einen erfolgreichen Problemlöseunterricht mit digitalen Medien.

Problemlösen und Mathematiklernen: Zum Nutzen des Probierens und des Irrtums (Kölner Beiträge zur Didaktik der Mathematik und der Naturwissenschaften)

by Anna-Christin Söhling

Anna-Christin Söhling beschreibt die Erkenntnisgewinnung während des Problemlöseprozesses durch Probieren und Aufdecken von Irrtümern. Dabei nutzt sie das Begriffsnetz aus Deduktion, Abduktion und Induktion nach Peirce (1903) und Meyer (2007). Mathematische Problemlöseprozesse zeichnen sich oft durch Probieren und irrtumbehaftete Herangehensweisen aus. Dennoch scheinen Schülerinnen und Schüler nicht nur durch reinen Zufall zu einer Lösung zu kommen. Neben der philosophisch-logischen Rekonstruktion ebensolcher Prozesse beschäftigt sich die Autorin mit der Frage nach dem Erlernen von Mathematik durch Problemlösen.

Problems and Prospects in European Education

by Francois Orivel Jurgen Schriewer Elizabeth S. Swing

Written by scholars and professionals from such organizations as the Council of Europe and the European Community, this volume provides a comprehensive examination of education throughout Europe. The particularities of national educational systems are of necessity within its purview, but overall organization of the volume reflects such thematic and regional concerns as the impact of social and economic integration on education, the modification of educational structures and curricula following the demise of communism in Eastern Europe, degree equivalency, the financing of educational change, privatization, the impact of migration and immigration, national concerns, intercultural education, and multiculturalism.The volume's experts discuss European education's common heritage and the distinct national traditions it preserves. They deal with the interpretations of European education systems put forward in the shape of educational theories or reform-oriented programs, policies, and ideologies, as well as with the social actors, forces, and movements that have fuelled reform. The book's chapters also address the challenges European education has to face as a consequence of processes of change occurring at multiple levels: at the levels of cultural values, socio-political reconstruction, intercultural migration, supra-national integration, and ongoing global interconnection.

Problems in Philosophy of Education: A Systematic Approach

by James Scott Johnston

Problems in Philosophy of Education canvasses several of the leading issues in philosophy of education. These include the disconnect between the disciplines of philosophy and philosophy of education, the strained relationship between educational practice and philosophy of education, the role of educational research in philosophy of education, and the lack of an independent scholarship for philosophy of education. James Scott Johnson argues for a philosophy of education separate and distinct from both the disciplines of philosophy and education and claims that philosophy of education should raise and address its own questions and concerns. Supporting this is a model of how philosophy of education should originate basic questions, together with a set of philosophic presuppositions regarding the model's logic, ethics, politics, and relationship to science and social science.

Problems in Second Language Acquisition (Second Language Acquisition Research Series)

by Michael H. Long

Second language acquisition has an identity problem. It is a young field struggling to emerge from the parent fields of education and applied linguistics. In his new book, Problems in Second Language Acquisition, Mike Long proposes a way to help second language acquisition develop a systematic and coherent focus using the philosophy of science as the lens.The volume is neatly organized into three parts--theory, research, and practice. This structure allows a focus on areas of SLA of interest to many in the field. These include theory proliferation and comparative theory evaluation; the Critical Period Hypothesis and negative feedback; and the practice of “synthetic” language teaching.The controversial volume will be of interest to researchers, educators, and graduate students in second language acquisition, applied linguistics, TESOL, and linguistics programs. It may be recommended as additional reading for an introductory SLA course in order to stimulate class discussions.

Proceedings of 1st Annual International Conference: A Transformative Education: Foundation & Innovation in Guidance and Counseling (Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research #735)

by Luky Kurniawan M. Wahyu Kuncoro Sri Muliati Abdullah Triana Noor Edwina DS.

This is an open access book. The ecological concept views that human development is influenced by the environmental context. The relationship between the two is reciprocal and has an important influence on one another, as well as on the conditions of post-pandemic education. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an important impact on human life, particularly on education. Conventional learning patterns shift to online mechanisms which of course have advantages and disadvantages, especially in people in developing countries like Indonesia. Lack of interaction due to the pandemic impacts student behaviour, such as learning and coping difficulties (Pavin Ivanec, T., 2022).An important issue that needs serious attention in education, as well as mental health practices in schools after the pandemic, is human development efforts through education which minimizes inequality in education and the relevance of education which is no longer adequate. This can be achieved if Education is geared toward empowering students to engage with real social issues so as to promote a sustainable future. Schools and all existing stakeholders (guidance and counseling teachers/school counselors) can contribute to facilitating sustainable human development through an ethical dimension and presenting an educational model that is able to build students’ self-confidence (Curry-Stevens, 2007). In the end, it is hoped that the efforts of this educational institution can support the achievement of the SDGs, especially in the area of ​​education, which has been proclaimed since the 2000s through the millennium declaration by countries in the world.

Proceedings of The Focus Conference (Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research #732)

by Manyane Makua Mariam Akinlolu Mashango Sithole Phiwayinkosi Gumede Cebo Nyondo

This is an open access book.It is a common cause globally that the abrupt emergence of Covid-19 wreaked havoc in all sectors, including the higher education system. The sudden closure of campuses as a social distancing measure to prevent community transmission has shifted face-to-face classes to online teaching and learning, a transformative experiment for academics and students in most institutions. This has thrown the focus on utilising Learning Management Systems (LMS), eLearning tools and platforms for effective student engagement, which may have limitations of accessibility and affordability for many students. The pandemic has exposed the shortcomings of the current higher education system and the need for more training of academics and practitioners in digital technology to adapt to the rapidly changing educational climate. In the post-pandemic situation, eLearning and virtual education may become an integral part of the higher education system, hence the question of re-inventing higher education. The higher education institutions and universities need to plan the post-pandemic education and research strategies to ensure student learning outcomes and standards of educational quality. With the move to online teaching and learning, subsequently, traditional assessments followed and were adapted and adopted for online assessment. Assessments lie at the heart of the teaching process. It shapes students’ understanding of the curriculum and determines their ability to progress. Reflections on assessments during Covid-19 abounded with the challenges that both academics and students faced regarding online assessments, including cheating and quality assurance issues. The focus on quality extended to the quality of teaching and learning in general. Moreover, the pandemic brought about the question of staff and student health and psychosocial support also became important. For academics, the abrupt shift to adapt to working from home and implementing online learning has led to over-work, low work-life balance and compromised mental health. With a view on constructive and futuristic discourse, the sub-themes of the 2022 Focus conference encapsulate the current realities in the higher education sector and beyond. It further provides opportunities for an in-depth analysis based on the benefit of hindsight and foresight. The Organising Committee specifically coined the theme, Re-inventing higher education: Insights, trends and lessons learnt from, specifically for the conference to reflect on and address the matters mentioned earlier. Academics, scholars, and practitioners in the higher education sector are called upon to share their research and express their perspectives on the reinvention of higher education.

Proceedings of the 10th Focus Conference (Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research #788)


This is an open access book. The 2023 Focus Conference will focus on Goal Four (Quality Education) of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SGD). Goal Four is seized with providing “equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education including university.” Quality education, in this context, means the ability to function, provide and derive value in society. The theme of the conference is therefore coined as “The Role of Higher Education in the Attainment of Sustainable Quality Education.” Through this theme, the conference will provide a space for participants to share practical knowledge, experiences, and possible solutions to the myriad of problems that confront the higher education sector.Universities are often thought of as ivory towers far removed from the realities that confront global societies. To compound this, higher education is increasingly being questioned for its relevance in providing practical and innovative solutions to existing societal problems. Such questions often navigate around the relevance of the academic programmes being offered, curriculum, the capacity of staff, employability of graduates, and generally the ability of these institutions to understand why they exist. Indeed, higher education’s role in creating a sustainable future will presumably take on greater importance as the world continues to become increasingly globalised and interdependent.

Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research #836)


This is an open access book. Indonesia, as a member of ASEAN, is now facing the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2016. The AEC will support the ASEAN’s transformation into a region that guarantees free movement of goods, services, capital, and skilled labors. This will make ASEAN an even more dynamic and competitive region. In preparation for the AEC, the ASEAN member countries have ventured to improve the comparability and connectivity of their TVET systems. As an important component of human resources development, TVET is expected to play an active role in preparing the successful EAC. The implications of technological, economic and social trends are intervening factors that refine pedagogical strategies, leading to the molding of TVET as a more effective platform to catalyze pragmatic approaches to prepare the workforce for the new imperatives of the world of work.Regional integration and harmonization of TVET in the region have become key concerns and at the sametime the strength of the ASEAN region. They are considered the overarching interventions needed in TVET to address major issues and challenges.
