Kunstpädagogik im Fokus von Digitalisierung, Künstlerkooperation und Lernortwechsel: Eine empirische Studie zur Professionalisierung kunstgemäßen Handelns Jugendlicher in intermedialen Lernsettings
by Stefan SpenglerDie letzten Jahrzehnte, insbesondere die letzten drei Jahrzehnte, haben die Gemüter der kunstpädagogischen Fachwissenschaft nach der Frage einer fachspezifischen Einbindung digitaler Medientechnologien in kunstgemäße Lehr- und Lernszenarien bewegt. In der kunstpädagogischen Praxis und fachwissenschaftlichen Theorie lassen sich jedoch bislang nur weitgehend punktuelle und exemplarische Ansätze dieser Bestrebungen und keine flächendeckende Einbindung in kunstpädagogische Konzepte ausmachen.Mit der vorliegenden theoretischen und empirischen Studie wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern die Kunstgemäßheit, insbesondere im Kontext der Anwendung digitaler Medientechnologien, im Wege einer Kooperation mit Künstlerpersönlichkeiten in Kombination mit außerschulischen kunstpädagogischen Lernsettings, gefördert werden und unter welchen Bedingungen der sich daraus ergebende didaktisch-methodische Dreiklang fachspezifisch-kunstgemäße kreative Denk- und Handlungsprozesse von Schüler:innen nachhaltig professionalisieren kann.
Leadership in Early Childhood Education: A Cultural-Historical Theory of Practice Development (Educational Leadership Theory)
by Elizabeth Wood Jenny Martin Joce Nuttall Linda HendersonThe book presents a conceptual framework for understanding leadership for effective educator learning in early childhood settings. The book describes how leaders can move centre practices from crisis to stabilization. It argues that a core component of leaders' work in early childhood settings is to construct and enact epistemological accounts of practice change. The book includes case examples that bring to life the contexts early childhood services and services leaders who participated in the research. The book also describes the application of cultural-historical activity theory to the development of practice in early childhood education. It describes how background theory, literature, and data can be synthesized to create new focal theory in education. Readers will benefit from the theory that is presented, establishing a sound basis for testing in future research in schools as well as in early childhood education. “Joce Nuttall and team are congratulated for their ground-breaking scholarly endeavour in designing, implementing, validating findings, and then writing a book that unambiguously connects theory-policy-practice in enacting leadership in early childhood settings. This book is ambitious, eloquent, and inspirational. The research was driven by a bold vision to build a new theorisation of early childhood leadership. The writing style of the book makes the complex clear and easy to digest, and thereby strengthening its readability and understanding. The comparative lens adopted in the study, underscores the neoliberal control of the working lives of early childhood leaders in both Australia and England. The use of case study narratives to explain various aspects including the study design and methodology, was refreshingly engaging. Notes of encouragement addressed to novice researchers such as those embarking on higher degree studies, also provide apt guidance about the messiness of conducting qualitative research. The book is infused with lots of examples demonstrating the transformative power of learning – especially when expertly scaffolded by the research team, and thereby increasing practitioner agency and quality improvement across the early childhood setting. If professional autonomy is the driver of reform and change, then we must find ways to nurture strong educational leaders who can think outside the box. Overall, Nuttall and team succeed in arousing learning-rich possibilities for reimagining early childhood leadership in theory and in practice, and thereby making a magnificent contribution to the scholarship of educational leadership.” Professor Manjula Waniganayake PhD, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia

Knowledge: Keywords in Teacher Education (Keywords in Teacher Education)
by Victoria Elliott Dr Steven Puttick Dr Jenni IngramKey to teacher education is the knowledge base of the teacher educator, and the ways in which knowledge is conceptualised. This book explores how ideas about knowledge are used in teacher education to critically examine what knowledges are valued across research, policy and practice. The authors explore international and interdisciplinary perspectives on the nature of knowledge (and what counts as knowledge) and how these perspectives on knowledge translate into teacher education, , with a final chapter dedicated to exploring consequences for practice.
Organizational Theory in Higher Education (Core Concepts in Higher Education)

Rethinking Weapon Play in Early Childhood: How to Encourage Imagination, Kindness, and Consent in Your Classroom
by Samuel Broaden Kisa MarxThis thought-provoking read invites you to reconsider your automatic "no" when it comes to young children’s weapon play. It offers new perspectives on how weapon play and other risky or controversial play can provide opportunities for healing discussions—including around boundaries, kindness, and consent—and create positive learning experiences for children and teachers alike. Centered in an antiracist framework with applications across diverse communities, the book is written by two educators with unique lived experiences of community violence and safety who each share their perspectives on risky play, questions to consider, and strategies to try in the classroom. Aiming to inspire new ways of thinking, instead of trying to change your mind outright, this book asks deep questions to support you in carefully thinking about the kind of play allowed in your classroom. This book is an essential resource for early years teachers, practitioners, and anyone with a key interest in creating supportive spaces for young children.

Working with Children in Contemporary Performance: Ethics, Agency and Affect
by Sarah AustinThis book outlines how an innovative ‘rights-based’ model of contemporary performance practice can be used when working with children and young people.This model, framed by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), challenges the idea of children as vulnerable and in need of protection, argues for the recognition of the child’s voice, and champions the creativity of children in performance. Sarah Austin draws on rich research and practitioner experience to analyse Youth Arts pedagogies, inclusive theatre practice, models of participation, the symbolic potential of the child in performance, and the work of contemporary theatre practitioners making work with children for adult audiences. The combined practical and written research reflected in this book offers a new, nuanced understanding of children as cultural agents, raising the prospect of a creative process that foregrounds deeper considerations of the strengths and capacities of children.This book would primarily appeal to scholars of theatre and performance studies, specifically those working in the field of applied theatre and theatre for children and young people. Additionally, the practice-based elements of the book are likely to appeal to theatre professionals working in youth arts or theatre for young audiences or associated fields.
