Qualitative Sekundäranalysen: Daten der Sozialforschung aufbereiten und nachnutzen
Im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes steht die Praxis der Qualitativen Sekundäranalyse in der Sozialforschung und angrenzenden Fach- und Forschungsdisziplinen. Mit Qualitativer Sekundäranalyse ist der Rückgriff auf bereits vorhandene Forschungsdaten gemeint, wenn es gilt, Ergebnisse zu überprüfen oder eine neue oder ergänzende Fragestellung zu beantworten. Daten, die aus einem anderen Forschungszusammenhang vorliegen, müssen dafür einerseits aufbereitet, andererseits erneut genutzt werden. Dies erfordert vielfältige methodische, forschungsethische und datenschutzrechtliche Überlegungen. Die Beiträge beleuchten aus verschiedenen fachlichen Perspektiven das Potential von Datenaufbereitung, Datenarchivierung und sekundäranalytischer Datennutzung für die Forschungspraxis, für die Lehre und für studentische Qualifikationsarbeiten. Es werden unterschiedliche Anwendungsbeispiele und Erfahrungen diskutiert, sowohl methodisch als auch methodologisch. Der Band enthält auch ausgewählte studentische Beiträge aus einem an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum durchgeführten Forschungsmodul für Masterstudierende der Sozialwissenschaft, in dessen Mittelpunkt die Aufbereitung und Nachnutzung von qualitativen Daten der Sozialforschung standen.
Queering Critical Literacy and Numeracy for Social Justice: Navigating the Course (Queer Studies and Education)
by Summer Melody PennellThis volume explores the value of using queer pedagogy in an interdisciplinary middle school classroom to promote a better understanding of social justice and the social construction of knowledge among students. In the course of the study, which combined student-centered literacy and mathematical inquiries through a social justice lens, students used critical literacy skills to research social justice topics, learned to read numerical data like traditional print text, and created and solved their own math problems. In bringing together critical mathematics and critical literacy through a queer lens, the author offers new ways of thinking that challenges norms and helps students embrace new concepts of learning for the modern era.

Re-Imagining Curricula in Global Times: A Music Education Perspective (Global Perspectives on Adolescence and Education #4)
by Jennifer M. MellizoThrough this book, the author examines the role of music education within the larger global education movement. Specifically, the author argues music education has unique potential to foster positive global identity and to promote higher levels of intercultural sensitivity during adolescence. Music educators can use the framework in this book to craft lessons that will help their adolescent students develop positive global identities as they progress towards higher levels of intercultural sensitivity within the context of musical learning experiences. The book also offers a framework that can help practicing and pre-service music educators to engage in the type of cultural and musical self-reflection needed to resist deeply engrained hegemonic tendencies. As such, more students have access to an inclusive, flexible, and meaningful musical education. Within the final two chapters, the author proposes - and provides concrete examples of - a new curricular planning strategy for music educators which synthesizes the information presented in the preceding chapters and provides a concrete vision for (re)imagining music education as global education.

Reading and Making Notes (Pocket Study Skills)
by Jeanne GodfreyUniversity students are typically exposed to a much wider variety of academic sources at university – including monographs, textbooks, journals, reports – and, crucially, a much larger proportion of their time is spent on independent academic reading, relative to their time in school.There are lots of study skills texts which deal with academic writing in some form or other, but there are far fewer resources which provide helpful guidance about how to manage the early stages of an assignment. The quality of a student's written work reflects the quality of their reading and note-making skills. If students don't understand what their assignment is asking; if students don't take control of their reading list and consult the most appropriate sources; and if students don't end the process of reading with meaningful notes it's very unlikely that they will score high marks for their assignment.This book helps readers to take charge of their reading at university and provides succinct and practical guidance at key stages of the assignment. It helps students to understand what their assignment title means and how to identify useful, reliable academic sources. It helps students to apply different reading strategies, depending on the task at hand, and to approach texts actively so that they are questioning and evaluating materials as they go. In addition to reading strategies, the Pocket introduces readers to useful strategies and tips for note-making. The final part helps readers to make the most of their notes by engaging with and reviewing the material they've created.New for this edition:- A science-based example for STEM students- New section which helps readers think about what type of information and evidence they need to find- New tips on managing large volumes of reading- Updated material on note-making software and online tools to reflect latest technology
