Zwischen situativen und formalen Darstellungen mathematischer Begriffe: Empirische Studie zu linearen, proportionalen und antiproportionalen Funktionen (Dortmunder Beiträge zur Entwicklung und Erforschung des Mathematikunterrichts #30)

Sabrina Heiderich erfasst unter einer qualitativen Perspektive individuelle Begriffe und Begriffsbildungsprozesse im Spannungsfeld zwischen situativen Phänomenen und formaler Mathematik. Dabei fokussiert sie insbesondere auf lineare, proportionale und antiproportionale Funktionen. Die Autorin beschreibt und interpretiert detailliert relevante Merkmale von Lernenden der Sekundarstufe I auf einer situativen und formalen Ebene und deutet sie hinsichtlich ihres gelingenden Zusammenwirkens oder ihrer Koexistenz.

Zwischen Subjekt und Struktur: Suchbewegungen qualitativer Forschung

Im Zentrum des Bandes, der anlässlich des 60. Geburtstags von Prof.’in Heide von Felden erscheint, steht die Rekonstruktion der Verflechtung von Mensch und Lebenswelt. Über (auto)biographische Feldzugänge werden „Aussagen über gesellschaftliche Performanzen und individuellen Eigensinn ermöglicht“ (Heide von Felden). Die Beiträge eröffnen Einblicke in praxisorientierte, empirieorientierte oder forschungstheorieorientierte Fragestellungen und zeigen unterschiedliche Praxisumgebungen und Forschungsansätze der Erwachsenenbildung auf.

Zwischen Wissen und Erwartung – Studierende in der Sprachförderung: Eine empirische Studie zur Relevanz sprachförderbezogenen Professionswissens

In universitären Sprachförderprojekten sind Lehramtsstudierende zugleich Lernende und Sprachförderpersonen. Mit dieser doppelten Zuschreibung sind zwei Sozialisationsinstanzen – Universität und Schule – verbunden und spezifische Auswirkungen auf das sprachförderbezogene Professionswissen verknüpft. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird in der vorliegenden Studie, die empirische Erkenntnisse einer theoretischen Modellierung gegenüberstellt, untersucht, über welche sprachförderbezogenen Professionswissensbestände in der Sprachförderung tätige Lehramtsstudierende verfügen. Neben der Relevanz von Perspektivierung und Gegenstandsspezifizierung wird deutlich, dass sowohl ein weiter Wissensbegriff als auch die verschiedenen Rollen der Studierenden in Praxisprojekten zu berücksichtigen sind.

Zygmunt Bauman on Education in Liquid Modernity

Zygmunt Bauman on Education in Liquid Modernity evaluates the contribution that Bauman has made to education studies. It outlines the central themes within social analysis in Bauman’s writings, and examines how researchers have applied his key ideas to explore current theoretical issues. The book focuses on Bauman’s ideas in relation to the management and consumption of education, including topics such as student voice and individual identity; relationships and inclusive education. Identifying and discussing underpinning assumptions about Bauman’s work and its application to education, the book addresses the connection between his work and wider debates, providing a critical and clarifying re-examination of Bauman’s contribution to the role of education within solid, post and liquid modernity. This book will appeal to academics, researchers and postgraduate students of education theory and the sociology of education. It will be of great interest to readers seeking a critical appreciation and application of Bauman’s work to an educational context and Bauman scholars interested in the application of contemporary social theory to education and its role in identity formation in areas such as sex and relationships education.
