Video Research in the Learning Sciences

Video Research in the Learning Sciences is a comprehensive exploration of key theoretical, methodological, and technological advances concerning uses of digital video-as-data in the learning sciences as a way of knowing about learning, teaching, and educational processes. The aim of the contributors, a community of scholars using video in their own work, is to help usher in video scholarship and supportive technologies, and to mentor video scholars, so that video research will meet its maximum potential to contribute to the growing knowledge base about teaching and learning. This volume contributes deeply to both to the science of learning through in-depth video studies of human interaction in learning environments—whether classrooms or other contexts—and to the uses of video for creating descriptive, explanatory, or expository accounts of learning and teaching. It is designed around four themes—each with a cornerstone chapter that introduces and synthesizes the cluster of chapters related to it: Theoretical frameworks for video research; Video research on peer, family, and informal learning; Video research on classroom and teacher learning; and Video collaboratories and technological futures. Video Research in the Learning Sciences is intended for researchers, university faculty, teacher educators, and graduate students in education, and for anyone interested in how knowledge is expanded using video-based technologies for inquiries about learning and teaching.

Videobasierte Lehr-Lernformate zur Erfassung und Förderung professioneller Kompetenzen im Studium der Wirtschaftspädagogik

Professionelle Kompetenzen haben entscheidenden Einfluss auf die individuelle Bewältigung beruflicher Anforderungssituationen und sind zentrale Voraussetzung für ein erfolgreiches berufliches Handeln. Die professionelle Kompetenz umfasst die Fähigkeit, flexibel auf das eigene Professionswissen zurückzugreifen und es zur Lösung komplexer, praxisnaher Probleme anzuwenden. Die Arbeit präsentiert einen hochschuldidaktischen Ansatz, der Studierende auf die Bewältigung dieser beruflichen Anforderungssituationen in wirtschaftspädagogischen Tätigkeitsfeldern vorbereitet. Zunächst werden die professionellen Kompetenzen von Wirtschaftspädagoginnen und -pädagogen ausdifferenziert. Zudem wird die ELMaWi-Validierungsstudie vorgestellt, aus der ein videobasiertes Testinstrument zur Erfassung aktionsbezogener und reflexiver Kompetenzen von Lehrkräften mit Fach Wirtschaft hervorging. Der Transfer dieses ELMaWi-Instruments in die universitäre Ausbildungspraxis ermöglicht eine valide Erfassung und Überprüfung der professionellen Kompetenzen von Studierenden der Wirtschaftspädagogik. Schließlich widmet sich der Autor der Konzeption und Überprüfung eines videobasierten Lehr-Lernformats zur fachspezifischen Förderung jener professioneller Kompetenzen, die zur Bewältigung komplexer Anforderungssituationen im schulischen und betrieblichen Handlungskontext erforderlich sind.

Videodokumentation von Unterricht: Zugänge zu einer neuen Quellengattung der Unterrichtsforschung

Videoaufzeichnungen von Unterricht sind seit den 1970er Jahren ein wichtiges Medium der empirischen erziehungswissenschaftlichen Forschung und der Lehrerausbildung. Die dabei entstandenen Dokumente bilden inzwischen für die historische und vergleichende Unterrichtsforschung eine gänzlich neue Quellengattung, die bislang in deren Arbeiten kaum erschlossen wurde. Durch ihren Aufschluss kann nun auf die Ebene des konkreten Unterrichts in der historischen und vergleichenden Forschung zugegriffen werden. Die AutorInnen stellen Methoden der historischen und vergleichenden Analyse von Unterrichtsaufzeichnungen vor und diskutieren sie insbesondere am Beispiel der Unterrichtsaufzeichnungen aus der DDR („Videodatenbank Schulunterricht in der DDR“).

Vidyasagar: The Life and After-life of an Eminent Indian (Pathfinders)

This book offers a new interpretation of the life and legacy of the Indian reformer and intellectual, Ishvarchandra Vidyasagar (1820–91). Drawing upon autobiography, biography, secondary criticism and a range of Vidyasagar’s original writings in Bengali, the book interrogates the role of history, memory and controversy, and emphasises the key challenge of pinning down the identity of an enigmatic and multi-faceted figure. By examining lesser-known works of Vidyasagar (including several pseudonymous and posthumous works) alongside the evidence of his public career, the author calls attention to the colonial transformation of intellectual and social life, the nature of life writing, the limits of standard biographies and the problem of modern Indian identity as such. Based on decades of research and an original perspective, this book will be especially useful to scholars of modern Indian history, biographical studies, comparative literature and those interested in Bengal.

Vietnam Over the Long Twentieth Century: Becoming Modern, Going Global (Global Vietnam: Across Time, Space and Community)

This open access book provides fascinating insights into the incredible changes that Vietnam underwent in the long twentieth century as it transformed from an early modern kingdom to a European colony, to a divided land with opposing ideologies, and to a unified country in a globalized world. At each stage in this long century of changes, there were Vietnamese who sought to mold their society into some vision of “modernity.” The book looks at multiple, rather than one form of modernity, and links those forms with the different political moments that Vietnam experienced, in tandem with the outside interlocutors that were maintained during those periods. As such, this book provides a holistic view of the many forms of modernity and their global links that can be found in Vietnam over the course of the long twentieth century. These multiple modernities are documented in this book, and the authors do so by bringing together the strengths of “traditional” language-based area studies scholarship with the insights that an awareness of trans-national and global perspectives provides. Relevant to historians and researchers in the broader arena of Southeast Asian studies with a particular interest in Vietnam—its journey from past to present—this book is a must-read engagement with a country that has undergone and continues to experience, rapid transformation.

Vietnamese Language, Education and Change In and Outside Vietnam (Global Vietnam: Across Time, Space and Community)

This open access edited book attempts to break new ground in investigating multiple facets of Vietnamese language, education and change in global contexts, engaging with global Vietnam through complex lenses of language and education. Issues of language, globalization, and global identities have often been framed through the lens of hierarchical/binary power relations, and/or through a dichotomy between hyper-central languages, such as English, and revisualized or marginalized local language and cultures. In this book, this dichotomy is turned on its head by considering how Vietnam and Vietnamese are constructed in and outside Vietnam and enacted in global spaces of classrooms, textbooks, student mobility, community engagement, curriculum, and intercultural contacts. Vietnamese is among the world’s most spoken languages and is ranked in the top 20th in terms the number of speakers. Yet, at the same time, as a ‘peripheral’ or ‘southern’ global language as often seen in the Global North-Global South spectrum, the dynamics of multilingual and multicultural encounters involving Vietnamese generate distinctive dilemmas and tensions, as well as pointing to alternative ways of thinking about global phenomena from a fresh angle. Rather than being outside of the global, Vietnamese - like many other ‘non-central’ global languages - is present in diasporas, commercial, and transnational structures of higher education, schooling, and in the more conventional settings of primary and secondary school, in which visions of culture and language also evoke notions of heritage and tradition as well as bring to the fore deep seated ideological conflicts across time, space, communities, and generations. Relevant to students and scholars researching language, education, identity, multiculturalism, and their intersections, particularly related to Vietnam, but also in Southeast Asia and beyond, this volume is a pioneering investigation into overlooked contexts and languages from a global, southern-oriented perspective."This book presents an eclectic collection of 15 chapters unified by an interest in developing and teaching the Vietnamese language. To my knowledge, there has been no previous attempt to make the national language of Vietnam a focus for as many perspectives as are documented in the book. In this regard, the book makes an original and intriguing contribution to the literature on Vietnamese culture, including the culture of Vietnam’s expanding diaspora. The book is pioneering in the extent to which it draws attention to the many roles played by a national language in a nation’s political, social and cultural development. It also documents the challenges of preserving a national language in settings where it is at risk of being marginalized. It is pleasing that so many of the contributing authors are young Vietnamese scholars who can provide a distinctly Vietnamese perspective on concepts and practices of global significance."- Dr. MartinHayden, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, Southern Cross University, Australia "Vietnamese Language, Education and Change In and Outside Vietnam brings together an excellent collection of chapters that highlight the diverse and important but under-explored roles Vietnamese language plays in different settings within and outside Vietnam. The fifteen chapters of this much needed book provide unique insights into various aspects and meanings of Vietnamese language. Collectively, the volume contributes to broadening our view about the evolution and transformation of Vietnamese language under the impacts of local, national, regional and global forces. The book invites readers to engage in a reflective and intersectional approach to rethinking and re-examining our understandings of the changes and developments of Vietnamese language over the history of the country."- Dr Ly Tran, Professor, Centre for Research for Educational Impact (REDI), Deakin University, Australia, and Founder: Australia-Vietnam

The View from the Helm: Leading the American University during an Era of Change

Widely regarded as one of the most active and publicly engaged university presidents in modern academia, Duderstadt— who led the University of Michigan from 1988 to 1996— presided over a period of enormous change, not only for his institution, but for universities across the country. His presidency was a time of growth and conflict: of sweeping new affirmative-action and equal-opportunity programs, significant financial expansion, and reenergized student activism on issues from apartheid to codes of student conduct. Under James Duderstadt’ s stewardship, Michigan reaffirmed its reputation as a trailblazer among universities. Part memoir, part history, part commentary, The View from the Helm extracts general lessons from his experiences at the forefront of change in higher education, offering current and future administrators a primer on academic leadership and venturing bold ideas on how higher education should be steered into the twenty-first century.
