Armut von Kindern mit Migrationshintergrund: Ausmaß, Erscheinungsformen und Ursachen
by Carolin ButterweggeKinder mit Migrationshintergrund leben hierzulande mehr als doppelt so häufig wie jene ohne in Armut. Wie sich diese im Bereich des Wohnens, der Gesundheit, der Bildung und in sozialen Kontakten bei verschiedenen Gruppen von Zuwandererfamilien äußert, zeigt die Verfasserin mittels umfassender Analysen. Sie belegen, dass die Armut von Migranten in eine klassen- und migrationsspezifische Neustrukturierung von sozialer Ungleichheit im Zuge neoliberaler Gesellschaftsveränderungen eingebettet ist. Auslöser von Armut sind z.B. die Exklusion auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, (Aus-)Bildungsdefizite und Kinderreichtum. Über die Schichtzugehörigkeit eines Migranten bestimmt auch das Ausländerrecht. Ob ein Kind trotz Armutsbedingungen im Wohlbefinden aufwächst, entscheidet sich indes durch ein für Migrantenkinder weitgehend unerforschtes Zusammenspiel v.a. personaler und familiärer Risiko- und Schutzfaktoren.
Kinderarmut in Ost- und Westdeutschland
by Christoph Butterwegge Michael Klundt Matthias Belke-ZengSeit geraumer Zeit erregt das Problem einer wachsenden und sich gleichzeitig verjüngenden Armut in entwickelten Wohlfahrtsstaaten öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit und fachliches Interesse, was sich in einer Fülle einschlägiger Forschungsprojekte und einer Flut wissenschaftlich fundierter Publikationen zu diesem Thema niederschlägt. Dabei sind die spezifischen Rahmenbedingungen des vereinigten, vormals aus zwei Staaten mit unterschiedlichen Gesellschafts-, Wirtschafts- und Wohlfahrtssystemen sowie konträren (sozial)politischen Kulturen bestehenden Deutschland aber gegenüber anderen Faktoren vernachlässigt worden. Das Buch beleuchtet die Ursachen und psychosozialen Folgen der Kinderarmut in den alten und den neuen Bundesländern. Ein empirischer Vergleich der sozialen Situation von Erfurter und Kölner Schulkindern gab darüber Aufschluss, welche Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten der Lebenslagen in Ost- und Westdeutschland existieren. Schließlich werden Gegenmaßnahmen auf unterschiedlichen Politikfeldern vorgeschlagen, um Kinderarmut zu verringern und zu verhindern.
Kinderarmut in Ost- und Westdeutschland
by Christoph Butterwegge Michael Klundt Zeng MatthiasDer Band beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem der Kinderarmut im deutschen Ost-West-Vergleich. Dabei werden Ursachen und Erscheinungsformen von Kinderarmut in Ost- und Westdeutschland verglichen. Im Rahmen einer "dualen Armutsforschung", die sowohl gesellschaftliche Strukturen und subjektive (Kinder-)Perspektiven einfängt als auch der (infantilisierten) Armutsstruktur auf den Grund geht, entwickeln die Forscher/innen bildungs-, familien- und sozialpolitische Gegenstrategien.
Working the Margins of Community-Based Adult Learning: The Power of Arts-Making in Finding Voice and Creating Conditions for Seeing/Listening (International Issues in Adult Education)
by Shauna Butterwick Carole RoyThis volume gathers stories about how various art and creative forms of expression are used to enable voices from the margins, that is, of underrepresented individuals and communities, to take shape and form. Voice is not enough; stories and truths must be heard, must be listened to. And so the stories gathered here also speak to how creative processes enable conditions for listening and the development of empathy for other perspectives, which is essential for democracy. The chapters, including some that describe international projects, illustrate a variety of art-making practices such as poetry, visual art, film, theatre, music, and dance, and how they can support individuals and groups at the edges of mainstream society to tell their story and speak their truths, often the first steps to valuing one’s identity and organizing for change. Some of the authors are community-based artists who share stories thus bringing these creative endeavors into the wider conversation about the power of arts-making to open up spaces for dialogue across differences. Art practices outlined in this book can expand our visions by encouraging critical thinking and broadening our worldview. At this time on the earth when we face many serious challenges, the arts can stimulate hope, openness, and individual and collective imaginations for preferred futures. Inspiration comes from people who, at the edges of their community, communicate their experience.
Dyscalculia: From Science To Education
by Brian ButterworthDyscalulia is caused by developmental differences in the structures and patterns of activation in the brain. Affected learners require timely and tailored interventions, informed and shaped by neurological findings. In this ground-breaking text, Professor Butterworth explains the latest research in the science of dyscalculia in a clear non-technical way. Crucially, he shows that dyscalculia is caused by a core deficit in the ability to accurately and swiflty represent the number of objects in a set, an ability that underpins learning arithmetic, and clearly differentiates dyscalculia from other forms of early maths learning difficulties. Butterworth uniquely links research to pedagogical practice, to explain how science can be used for the identification of dyscalculia, and for the development of strategies to best help affected learners acquire arithmetical competence. The text provides robust interventions that focus on helping pupils to strengthen their ability to process numerosities and link them to the familiar number symbols, counting words and digits. It shows that science has clear and specific implications both for assessment and intervention. A landmark publication for the dyscalculia community, Dyscalculia: From Science to Education will become an essential resource for teachers, professionals, parents and sufferers, as well as for university courses that include specific learning disabilities.

Structure and the Book of Zechariah (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies)
by Mike ButterworthThis synthetic study has two primary tasks. The first is to elucidate the structure of the book of Zechariah. But in order to do this, a satisfactory method of analysis must be found. Thus the author begins by drawing up suitable literary criteria that will help to frame a reliable way of proceeding. The method is then tested on the book of Zechariah, and the results are compared with those of other biblical scholarship. Although this is a study in 'rhetorical criticism', it approaches the text from the standpoint of the authors' and redactors' intentions. The result is a convincing and wide-ranging analysis of the various and complex structural patterns of Zechariah.

Transforming Learning and Teaching: We can if...
by Ms Margaret Buttress Professor Barbara Macgilchrist`Transforming Learning and Teaching is well worth reading. The story of five schools acting together to improve what they do is a heroic and admirable one, especially in the present climate. The pressure to comply with prevailing orthodoxy, rather than devise orginal treatments, has been too strong for many to act with the same courage and insight as the five Redbridge schools, but it can be done with enthusiasm and integrity, as these teachers, heads and pupils show' - Ted Wragg, The Times Educational Supplement, Friday Magazine `Rigorous, realistic, accessible and eye-opening - this book ought to be at the well-thumbed heart of any primary school where building children's "learning power" is a genuine priority' - Guy Claxton, Professor of the Learning Sciences, University of Bristol This book shows how a group of primary schools transformed their learning and teaching. The authors share the practical strategies the schools used for supporting and enhancing - children's learning - teachers' learning - the schools' capacity for learning. They show how the focus on learning led to significant improvements in children's motivation, behaviour, engagement in learning and learning outcomes. This book reminds us that there is more to education than a narrow concentration on target setting and league tables. Based on an action research project in which five schools focused on developing children's learning and thinking skills, it tells how the schools committed themselves to inclusive education and the provision of a broad curriculum. Through this commitment, the schools enabled young people to develop their confidence, their self esteem and the attitudes needed to become lifelong learners. The authors describe what worked and draw out the main lessons for: children teachers; support staff; headteachers; parents; external consultants. This book is for school leaders at all levels and for practising teachers. It will also be useful to student teachers, those who work with schools in an advisory capacity and those involved with school improvement, educational leadership and developing learning and teaching in the classroom.
