Vertrauen in die Wissenschaftskarriere: Eine empirische Studie zu den Qualifizierungswegen von Nachwuchswissenschaftlern (Wissenschaft – Hochschule – Bildung)
by Manuela TischlerKarrieren in der Wissenschaft gelten als nur schwer planbar. Manuela Tischler beleuchtet die Ressourcen und Rahmenbedingungen, die den Nachwuchswissenschaftlern dabei helfen, mit der Unsicherheit auf dem wissenschaftlichen Qualifizierungsweg umzugehen. Ein zentraler Befund der empirischen Studie ist, dass Vertrauen für die Jungforscher als zentrale Ressource fungiert, um die Ungewissheit tolerieren zu können. Die Entstehung eines Vertrauens in den wissenschaftlichen Karriereweg ist gemäß den Befunden der Autorin durch ein komplexes Ursachengeflecht bedingt, wobei personenbezogenen Einflüssen eine Schlüsselrolle zukommt. Demnach können interpersonale Vertrauenserfahrungen auf dem wissenschaftlichen Qualifizierungsweg als Katalysatoren für die Entwicklung eines Karrierevertrauens betrachtet werden, die auch die Verweilabsichten der Jungforscher in der Wissenschaft beeinflussen.
Verwaltete Schule: Geschichte und Gegenwart (Educational Governance #20)
by Michael Geiss and Andrea VincentiSeit dem letzten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden Politik und Verwaltung als Steuerungszentrum der Gesellschaft grundlegend in Frage gestellt. Unter dem Begriff der ‚Governance’ setzte man neu auf Kooperation und Selbstregulierung sowie auf eine schlanke Bürokratie. Diese Entwicklung brachte nicht nur neue Techniken der Steuerung des Bildungswesens hervor, sondern führte auch zu einer Neubewertung der Rolle von Expertise im Steuerungsprozess. Der neue Band der Reihe 'Educational Governance' fragt daher, inwiefern sich das Verhältnis von Politik, Verwaltung und Schule historisch verschoben hat und gegenwärtig weiter verschiebt, ob in den Entwicklungen Brüche oder auch Kontinuitäten zu erkennen sind und wie diese gedeutet werden können.
Verwaltung in Weiterbildungseinrichtungen: Vom diffusen Unbehagen zum professionell-reflektierten Umgang mit Verwaltungstätigkeiten (Theorie und Empirie Lebenslangen Lernens)
by Barbara DietscheBarbara Dietsche untersucht das Thema „Verwaltung“ erstmals und geschichtsbewusst für die Weiterbildung. Die Autorin systematisiert und differenziert Aspekte des Verwaltungsverständnisses, Verwaltungstätigkeiten und Verhältnisbestimmungen von Verwaltung und Pädagogik durch rollentheoretische Fokussierung. Dabei geht sie von situierten und konkreten Beschreibungen von Verwaltungstätigkeiten verschiedener Berufspositionen aus. Die Einblicke in die Praxis führen dahin, „Verwaltung“ auf der Mikroebene des jeweiligen Mitarbeiters als eines von mehreren institutionalisierten Rollenelementen zu begreifen. Damit gibt die Studie Impulse, andere pädagogische Felder in dieser Weise zu betrachten.
Verwaltungsrecht (Enzyklopädie der Rechts- und Staatswissenschaft)
by Walter JellinekDieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
Verwertbarkeit: Ein Qualitätskriterium (erziehungs-)wissenschaftlichen Wissens?
by Helmut Heid Christian HarteisDie Autoren des Bandes setzen sich aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven mit der Frage auseinander, inwieweit 'Verwertbarkeit' ein taugliches Kriterium zur Beurteilung von wissenschaftlichem und speziell erziehungswissenschaftlichem Wissen ist. Die derzeit laufende bildungspolitische Debatte um die Effizienz deutscher Hochschulen erhält mit den Beiträgen neue Impulse.
Verwirklicht, entwickelt, diffus: Eine biografische Analyse der beruflichen Entwicklung von Studienabbrecherinnen und -abbrechern
by Dana BergmannIn diesem Buch geht es um die berufliche Entwicklung von Studienabbrechern nach ihrem Ausstieg aus dem Hochschulsystem. Aus berufspädagogischer und bildungstheoretischer Perspektive beschäftigt sich Dana Bergmann mit den Fragen, wie subjektiv krisenhaft ein solcher Bruch im berufsbiografischen Entwicklungsprozess ist, welche Bildungs- und Entwicklungspotenziale damit einhergehen und inwieweit es den Studienabbrechern gelingt, berufliche Identität, Beruflichkeit oder Berufsbewusstsein zu entwickeln. Es wird deutlich, dass das vorzeitige Beenden des Studiums ein Bestandteil eines individuellen Bildungsprozesses darstellen kann, bei dem es um eine berufliche Platzsuche, um individuelle berufliche Mobilität sowie Anschlussfähigkeit geht.
Verwirklichungschancen von Berliner Stadtteilmüttern: Konjunktive Erfahrungen im Spannungsfeld von Aktivierung und Nicht-/Anerkennung
by Liv-Berit KochIn der Tradition einer rekonstruktiven Methodologie untersucht Liv-Berit Koch die Frage, welche Chancen migrantische Frauen im Rahmen ihrer Teilnahme am Stadtteilmütter-Projekt in Berlin verwirklichen. Als Kernthema der in Einzelinterviews und einer Gruppendiskussion befragten Frauen arbeitet die Autorin den Wunsch heraus, Zugänge zu Ressourcen des sozialen und gesellschaftlichen Lebens zu erweitern – und zwar primär für die Familie, für die Gesellschaft oder für sich selbst. Zum Zeitpunkt des Projektausstiegs orientieren sich die Stadtteilmütter jedoch primär am Zugang zum regulären Arbeitsmarkt, welcher in Diskrepanz zu den institutionalisierten resp. organisatorischen Ablaufmustern des Projekts steht, aus denen reguläre und dauerhafte Beschäftigungsverhältnisse ausgeschlossen sind. Damit werden Dilemmata hervorgerufen, deren Bearbeitung nicht von den Stadtteilmüttern selbst geleistet werden kann, sondern grundlegender Veränderungen von gesellschaftlichen Anerkennungsstrukturen bedarf.

A Very Modern Family: Stories and guidance to nurture your relationships
by Carrie Grant David Grant'So much more than a parenting manual; the Grants have thrown out a lifeline' THE TIMESA breakout book on the ever-expanding concept of familyCarrie and David Grant have an extraordinary family story to tell. They have four children, one of whom is adopted, and all have come with a curveball: mental health challenges, neurodivergence, trans non-binary identities, various sexualities, and they are a mixed-race family, too.It is a reflection of the fact that society is changing faster than most of us can keep up with. The wider concepts of family and community are being deconstructed. There are those who are desperately clinging to the old and those who are desperate for the new to be accepted. How do we hold our families and communities together in unity? How do we create a society where all are included and none are oppressed?In A Very Modern Family, Carrie and David share their challenges and discoveries of growing and shapeshifting to create an incredible, diverse family and community. With their multi-intersectional family, they share their own mindset changes and insights into how to construct a new, accepting and unified space, while providing a deep dive into real life, frequently encountered situations and pertinent, applicable advice.A Very Modern Family is an important guide for our times - full of pain, change and hope.

A Very Unusual Journey Into Play
by Ben Kingston-HughesWhy do children need play? Play has the very real power to transform children’s lives. It has a unique and profound impact on the neurological, emotional and physical development and wellbeing of children - from therapeutic play and overcoming anxiety, to positive behaviour, mental health and even life expectancy. This book brings together two hot topics - play and neuroscience – breaking them down in an accessible way and offering a new perspective and voice on the topic of play. Weaving theory and practical examples together, and based on over 30 years’ experience of working with children, Ben presents a compelling argument that play is not merely an optional extra to childhood but a vital developmental process and one of the most important things a child ever does.

The VESPA Handbook: 40 new activities to boost student commitment, motivation and productivity
by Steve Oakes Martin GriffinOffers 40 concrete, practical tools and activities that will supercharge learners' ambition, organisation, persistence and determination. Where some education books focus on how individual teachers might sequence and deliver pieces of information in the clearest, most helpful and supportive way, engaging as many learners as possible, this one is different. This book looks at how you can help learners manage their workload and take control of their own knowledge and skills. It explores the characteristics, qualities and habits of successful students and shares forty replicable tools and tactics that all students can use immediately, both in and out of the classroom – activities that will help them to set goals, work more efficiently, organise their resources, revise more effectively and solve problems. This book is a perfect introduction to the VESPA approach, as well as being a practical addition to previous resources. The VESPA Handbook will help teachers develop the five key characteristics and behaviours that students need to be successful: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude. When it comes to achieving academic success, these characteristics are crucial. Suitable for teachers, tutors and parents who want to boost academic outcomes in 14–18-year-olds and equip them with powerful tools and techniques in preparation for further education and employment.

Veteran Teacher Resilience: Why do they stay? (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Lee Brantley Shields Carol A. MullenThis book explores why veteran teachers choose to remain in the classroom, making teaching their life’s career. The authors felt compelled to interview veteran teachers to learn about their experiences, how they make meaning of their classrooms and schools, and in particular what can be known about the adversities they face and their resilience. Factors (individual and contextual) are uncovered that influence veteran teacher’s resiliency and adaptation from veteran teachers’ perspectives and the literature. Induction programs, professional development, and mentoring are also examined for their importance to the interviews and education.Features of this book include:Focuses on veteran teacher resilience and why veteran teachers choose to remain in the classroom and teaching professionUses an interview method involving veteran teachers that illuminates issues of resiliency and retention from their perspectiveHighlights 15 narrative accounts of veteran teachers tailored to their perceptions, experiences, and strategies for navigating barriers and overcoming challengeCombines conceptual frameworks, research results, interventions, and strategiesConnects implications of the study and suggestions for future research to practice and policy This book is for researchers interested in teacher resilience, particularly veteran teacher resilience and the study and development of it, as well as practitioners drawn to the same topic, with applicability to their fields. Anyone interested in resilience, particularly within demanding professional contexts and stressful situations, should find value. "The focus on teacher resilience is original and it is an important aspect of why teachers might choose to stay in the profession. Teacher resilience is understudied and should provide useful knowledge to policymakers and education leaders on how to improve working conditions and increase efficacy. So much ink is spilled extolling why teachers exit the profession--there is a dearth of research on why they stay, which in my opinion is even more important than why they leave. This book makes an important contribution to the literature and will hopefully inform policy making and inspire others to conduct research on the subject." Christopher H. Tienken, Associate Professor, Dept. of Education Leadership Management and Policy, Seton Hall University, South Orange, NJ, USA "The topic is original. It seems there is much literature on new teachers and why they leave, but little on veteran teachers and why they stay. The topic and the reporting of the findings with suggestions for practices to be implemented in university programs as well as in K-12 schools is very useful. The format this book follows is actually a strong one for other researchers and students in doctoral programs." Sandra Harris, Professor Emerita, Educational Leadership, Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas, USA
The Viability of Organizations Vol. 1: Decoding the "DNA" of Organizations
by Wolfgang LasslToday’s complexity, speed, and need for adaptation are putting organizations under stress. Understanding how organizations function and truly come alive has become a critical competency. And yet, organizations still seem to lack a solid understanding of what constitutes meaningful, viable, and effective organizational structures. Using the Viable System Model (VSM) as a framework, this three-volume compendium volume offers readers a new and comprehensive perspective on organizations and how they function beyond the organizational chart. Moreover, it equips readers with a rigorous methodology for analyzing organizations and addressing deep-seated organizational dysfunctions, while also showing them how to redesign their structures and develop better and more tailor-made solutions. This first volume introduces readers to the VSM and its main components. Readers are taken on a journey, allowing them to rediscover all-too-familiar aspects in the life of their organization and to become aware of the critical success factors for its smooth functioning and long-term viability. In turn, volumes 2 and 3 provide an in-depth introduction to diagnosing and designing organizations with the help of the VSM. For academics, this compendium rediscovers a theoretical perspective that can help them understand macro-structural issues; at the same time, for VSM experts and researchers alike, it resolves many open aspects in the VSM framework.
The Viability of Organizations Vol. 2: Diagnosing and Governing Organizations
by Wolfgang LasslOrganizations are complex social systems, and dysfunctionalities can settle in very quickly and almost unnoticed, costing valuable time and resources. In a highly volatile and complex world where mistakes are virtually unforgivable, the ability to rapidly and accurately diagnose dysfunctionalities, and familiarity with the right governance and leadership principles, have thus become vital for organizations’ success.This volume, the second in a set of three, introduces readers to the Viable System Model (VSM)-based diagnosis and governance of organizations. Readers will be familiarized with a broad range of dysfunctional patterns that can impede an organization’s viability, while also deepening their understanding of organizational viability gained in Volume 1. This volume examines in detail the highly dynamic nature of organizations, the multiple equilibrium systems that need to be kept in mind, and the intricate nature of leadership in organizations. It addresses fundamental organizational and managerial issues/topics such as the functioning of hierarchies, the “right” degree of centralization, the various challenges throughout an organization’s lifecycle, and the vital role of conflicts for organizational health.The insights derived from the VSM in this volume will provide readers with a comprehensive, nuanced, and sound conceptual foundation for questions concerning the diagnosis and governance of organizations, the tasks, challenges and principles of leadership, and the implementation of strategies in organizations.
The Viability of Organizations Vol. 3: Designing and Changing Organizations
by Wolfgang LasslThe design process for organizational structures sometimes resembles a random walk, especially when it is embedded in an arena of competing personal interests and power games. Many organizations still lack clear guidance and are therefore seeking a rigorous, nuanced, and impartial methodology for the design and development of their organizational structures, processes and behavioral repertoire. The Viable System Model (VSM) can help: by identifying the essential design principles and parameters that need to be considered, and which can be used to enhance an organization’s effectiveness, adaptability, cohesion and overall viability.This book, the third volume in a set of three, connects the VSM to the world of the standard organizational chart. It offers readers a new perspective on corporate functions and their contributions to the organization as a whole. Further, it shows them how the VSM can be used to develop viable organizational structures, following a detailed step-by-step approach. Lastly, it explains the vital processes, behaviors, and attitudes that need to be developed in order to make organizations truly viable.Readers will find solutions to, and guidelines on, many critical organizational design issues, e.g. designing job profiles; correctly mapping synergistically (“centrally”) operating units in the organizational chart; outsourcing processes; and handling matrix situations; as well as designing and implementing organizational change processes.
