Berufs — Lexikon: Welchen Beruf soll ich ergreifen? 600 Berufsbilder mit Angaben über Ausbildung, Fortbildung und Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten
by Hans DeekenDie Berufswahl ist die bedeutsamste Entscheidung für einen Menschen; denn sie ist ausschlaggebend für den Verlauf des größten Teils seines Lebens. Wie oft aber wird dieseWahlnach augenblicklichen Gegebenheiten getroffen, die später keine Gültig keit mehr haben! Wie oft auch macht sich der Junge ein ganz falsches Bild von "seinem" Beruf! Sinn und Zweck dieses Buches ist es deshalb in erster Linie, den vor der Berufswahl stehenden Jugendlichen sowie ihren Eltern und Erziehern einen umfassenden Ein blick in das gesamte Berufsleben zu ermöglichen und damit Anregungen für die Berufswahl zu geben; denn nur wer die vielen Berufe kennt, die einem jungen Menschen offenstehen, wer über die Fähigkeiten, die sie voraussetzen, über die An forderungen, die sie stellen, und über die Arbeits-und Aufstiegsmöglichkeiten Be scheid weiß, kann seine Wahl richtig treffen, kann seinen Beruf finden und sich damit viele Enttäuschungen, ja vielleicht sogar ein verpfuschtes Leben ersparen. Das Buch bringt keine wissenschaftliche und psychologische Berufskunde. Es zeigt den berufstätigen Menschen an seinem Arbeitsplatz, schildert seine Ausbildung, was er zu leisten hat, wie er vorwärtskommen kann. Von dem Grundsatz ausgehend, daß Anschauung die beste Lehrmeisterin ist, wird der in leichtverständlicher Sprache gehaltene Text durch reiche Bebilderung erläutert. Der Jugendliche, der das Buch gelesen hat, wird sich eine richtige Vorstellung von den verschiedenen Berufen machen können. Damit sind viele Fehlentscheidungen bei seiner Wahl von vornherein ausgeschlossen. Den Eltern erleichtert das Buch die Beratung, mit der sie ihren Kindern, die ins Berufsleben eintreten, zur Seite stehen.

The University as a Critical Institution? (Higher Education Research in the 21st Century)
by Rosemary Deem Heather EgginsWhether universities can survive as critical organisations in the current time is an open question which this volume seeks to address. The book examines particular aspects of three main themes: governance, critical regulation and regulated criticism; growth, equality, movement and instability in higher education systems; and teaching and learning. Topics range from ‘University Futures’ to an examination of governance by procedure and the loss of the social process of the university; a discussion of the meaning of academic freedom; and approaches to managerialism. Quality management is discussed, along with the question of whether European Liberal Education actually exists. Various aspects of the theme of teaching and learning are examined, from student participation in out-of-class activities, to the role of Centres of Excellence, and a consideration of widening participation. The book is international in its reach, and addresses the continuing dilemmas faced in higher education systems, within Europe and beyond.
Nurse Practitioners and the Performance of Professional Competency: Accomplishing Patient-centered Care
by Staci DefibaughThis book examines the interactional practices of nurse practitioners (NPs) and the delivery of health care in the US. The author takes a discourse analytic approach, examining the linguistic resources that NPs employ in their interactions with patients. These linguistic features are connected to the concept of professional competency with specific focus on the enactment of the patient-centered approach. Analytic focus is placed on how NPs address organizational responsibilities during medical visits with patients, the form and function of patient education, the use of indirect speech, and the role that small talk plays in health care encounters. The book explores the understudied professional field of nurse practitioners and examines their linguistic practices with an eye on crossing disciplinary boundaries, integrating research from linguistics, discourse analysis and health communication. It will appeal to those interested in medical discourse analysis and health communication, as well as applied linguistics scholars.

Designing Critical and Creative Learning with Indigenous Youth: A Personal Journey (Bold Visions in Educational Research)
by Donna DeGennaroDesigning Critical and Creative Learning with Indigenous Youth: A Personal Journey traces the events leading to the creation of Unlocking Silent Histories (USH) and outlines the program’s foundational and methodological principles. The book opens with an explanation of the author’s struggles with the theory-practice tension, a conflict that has inhibited the widespread adoption and actualization of socially just learning engagements. She then offers her rationale for taking a leave from academia to concentrate fully on developing a critical pedagogy-informed learning design facilitated by combining community-connected inquiry with video ethnography. The substance of the text focuses on the identified foundational and methodological principles, explained through first-hand accounts of USH’s year-one participants. These youth-centered chapters assist in presenting an argument for employing culturally responsive and socially just educational engagements. At the same time, the chapters illustrate how drawing on youth voice can more broadly contribute to bridging theory and practice in communities that are often disconnected from the larger educational discourse. The author does not intend to provide a scripted implementation process within USH or of educational in general. Rather she uses first-hand youth accounts in this cultural context to give the reader a lived experience of how a youth-directed, emergent learning path materializes when employing a model that draws on local knowledge and invite youth voice.
Zivilgesellschaftliches Wirtschaften: Ein konzeptioneller Vorschlag (essentials)
by Philipp Degens Lukas LapschießGegenstand dieses essentials ist die Erarbeitung und theoretische Auskleidung einer eigenständigen Konzeption zivilgesellschaftlichen Wirtschaftens. Dazu bietet es eine Einführung in die Begriffe des Wirtschaftens und des Gemeinwohls und diskutiert verschiedene Perspektiven auf Zivilgesellschaft als eigenständige Sphäre bzw. Dritter Sektor, als spezifische, zivile Handlungsweise und als utopisches Projekt. Es werden Kernmerkmale, Prinzipien und normative Gehalte der Zivilgesellschaft identifiziert und auf wirtschaftliches Handeln und wirtschaftliche Organisationen übertragen. Hier zeigt sich, dass zivilgesellschaftliches Wirtschaften im weiten Sinne als notwendigerweise gemeinwohlorientiert verstanden werden kann und im engen Sinne ausschließlich demokratisch verfasstes Wirtschaften für das Gemeinwohl bezeichnet. Der Band hat damit einführenden Charakter und legt darüber hinaus auch eine eigene Positionierung vor.
The Relationship Worlds of Infants and Toddlers: Multiple Perspectives From Early Years Theory And Practice (UK Higher Education OUP Humanities & Social Sciences Education OUP)
by Sheila Degotardi Emma PearsonThe Relationship Worlds of Infants and Toddlers explores the concept of relationships as a core element of early childhood education and care. Taking as its starting point that children from birth to three learn and develop in a network of relationships, it examines what these relationships look and feel like, how they can be fostered and why they are important for children, educators and families who are involved in early years settings. In particular, it examines:Which kinds of relationships are important in early education and care settings?How can we understand the characteristics and meaning of these relationships for individuals and groups?How can we use our understandings to build relationships in early childhood programmes that benefit children, families and educators?The authors approach the topic of relationships in infant-toddler early childhood and care settings from a range of different perspectives. Drawing on real-world examples from their own research, they show how - by understanding the diverse features and functions of the many relationships at play in infant-toddler early childhood programmes - it is possible to create opportunities to strengthen these relationships and enhance the learning opportunities that these relationships provide.Compelling reading for both early years students and professionals this book provides a valuable resource with which to approach the diversity and dynamics of infant and toddler relationships.

How We Learn: The New Science of Education and the Brain
by Stanislas DehaeneHumanity's greatest feat is our incredible ability to learn. Even in their first year, infants acquire language, visual and social knowledge at a rate that surpasses the best supercomputers. But how, exactly, do our brains learn?In How We Learn, leading neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene delves into the psychological, neuronal, synaptic and molecular mechanisms of learning. Drawing on case studies of children who learned despite huge difficulty and trauma, he explains why youth is such a sensitive period, during which brain plasticity is maximal, but also assures us that our abilities continue into adulthood. We can all enhance our learning and memory at any age and 'learn to learn' by taking maximal advantage of the four pillars of the brain's learning algorithm: attention, active engagement, error feedback and consolidation.The human brain is an extraordinary machine. Its ability to process information and adapt to circumstances by reprogramming itself is unparalleled, and it remains the best source of inspiration for recent developments in artificial intelligence. How We Learn finds the boundary of computer science, neurobiology, cognitive psychology and education to explain how learning really works and how to make the best use of the brain's learning algorithms - and even improve them - in our schools and universities as well as in everyday life.
