Jungen – Pädagogik: Praxis und Theorie von Genderpädagogik (Kinder, Kindheiten und Kindheitsforschung)

Ergebnisse aus der Bildungs- und Jugendforschung haben in den letzten Jahren dazu beigetragen, dass Jungen und männlichen Heranwachsenden eine gesteigerte Aufmerksamkeit in der (Fach-)Öffentlichkeit entgegengebracht wird. In diesem Kontext hat ein Perspektivwechsel in der Auseinandersetzung um Fragen der Geschlechtergerechtigkeit in Bildungsinstitutionen eingesetzt: Jungen werden in der medialen Berichterstattung und öffentlichen Debatte dargestellt als gesellschaftliche Verlierer und Benachteiligte gegenüber den Mädchen. In diesem Band werden solche Verkürzungen aufgegriffen und es wird gefragt, was gute pädagogische Arbeit mit Jungen ausmacht und was von den Krisenszenarien zu halten ist, die gegenwärtig den Diskurs um die Situation von Jungen bestimmen.

Jungen - Sorgenkinder oder Sieger?: Ergebnisse einer quantitativen Studie und ihre pädagogischen Implikationen

Sind Jungen das 'schwache' Geschlecht? Für Pädagogen, die in der Jungensozialarbeit tätig sind, besteht daran schon seit einiger Zeit kein Zweifel mehr. Aufgrund ihres Abschneidens bei Schulleistungsvergleichsstudien und der hohen Schulabbrecherquoten werden Jungen zunehmend als 'Risikogruppe' problematisiert. Jungen sind nicht nur Thema der Bildungs- und Schulpolitik, sondern darüber hinaus auch in der (medialen) Öffentlichkeit. Im wissenschaftlichen Bereich wurde ihnen bisher nicht genügend Untersuchungsbeachtung gegeben. Mit den Ergebnissen der Befragung von 1600 Jungen im Alter von 14 bis 16 Jahren liegen jetzt Daten vor, die uns Jungen, wie sie wirklich sind, etwas näher bringen.

Jungen und Gewalt: Die Anwendung der Konfrontativen Pädagogik mit türkeistämmigen Jungen

Das Thema Gewalt ist in jedem Kulturkreis und in allen gesellschaftlichen Milieus anzutreffen. Bezogen auf Jugendliche mit Migrationshintergrund scheinen aber die Fachkräfte, die sich mit dem Problem der Gewalt auseinandersetzen, mit ihrem pädagogischen Latein am Ende zu sein, weil die Jugendlichen sich meist auf die Besonderheiten ihrer kulturellen Identität berufen. In der dritten komplett neu überarbeiteten Auflage werden nicht nur die Bedingungen für abweichendes Verhalten analysiert, sondern auch neue Themen aufgegriffen, wie zum Beispiel Salafismus unter Jugendlichen. Im Methodenteil werden aus unterschiedlichen pädagogischen Handlungsfeldern Beispiele dargestellt und diskutiert. Darüber hinaus wird analysiert, wie konfrontativ gearbeitet werden kann, wenn Jugendliche mit Salafismus argumentieren.

Jungen und Männer als Betroffene sexualisierter Gewalt (Sexuelle Gewalt und Pädagogik #7)

Das Buch bietet einen Rückblick auf den ab 2010 öffentlich und wissenschaftlich geführten Diskurs um Jungen und Männer als von sexualisierter Gewalt Betroffene. Die aktuellen Diskussionsstränge werden zusammengefasst und verschiedene Aspekte und Perspektiven sexualisierter Gewalt gegen Jungen und Männer neu verortet. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, ob nach zehn Jahren Aufdeckung und öffentlicher Wahrnehmung tatsächlich das Ende eines Tabus erreicht ist.

Jungen- und Männerarbeit: Bildung, Beratung und Begegnung auf der „Baustelle Mann“

Im Lebensalltag entwerfen Männer ihre Rollen im Spannungsfeld von gesellschaftlichen Ansprüchen und realen Möglichkeiten ihrer Lebenswelt. Tradierte oder medial vermittelte "gemachte" Männerbilder liefern dafür Bausteine und Konstruktionsmodelle. Doch was aussieht wie ein schlüssiger Bauplan, erweist sich oft auch für den erfahrenen Heimwerker als unsicher, widersprüchlich oder gar unvereinbar. Bildung und Beratung stellen sich der Aufgabe, wie man gut fundierte Bewältigungsstrategien und tragfähige Lösungen erarbeiten kann. Konkrete Herausforderungen und Problemstellungen des Alltages und seiner gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen sind Gegenstand der "Baustelle Mann".

Jungenforschung empirisch: Zwischen Schule, männlichem Habitus und Peerkultur

Über Jungen in der Schule wird aktuell viel geredet, eine umfassende wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung steht jedoch bislang noch aus. Der Stand der Jungenforschung erweist sich als empirisch und theoretisch wenig fundiert, ein systematischer Bezug auf die Schule als Institution fehlt weitestgehend. Dieses Buch zeigt aktuelle Perspektiven im Anschluss an das Habituskonzept auf und stellt Bezüge zwischen Schule, Jungen und Peerkultur aus nationaler und internationaler Sicht her. Die wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse zeigen, dass Jungen eine höchst heterogene Gruppe sind und dass das vereinfachte Bild der Jungen als Bildungsverlierer nicht haltbar ist.

Jungenfreundschaften: Zur Konstruktion von Männlichkeit in der Adoleszenz (Forschung Pädagogik)

Gegenstand der fallrekonstruktiven empirischen Studie sind freundschaftliche Beziehungen männlicher Jugendlicher zum eigenen und zum anderen Geschlecht. Mit diesem Blick auf die männliche peer-group betritt Sabine Jösting ein sowohl in der Jugend- als auch Geschlechterforschung randständiges Forschungsfeld. Der Schwerpunkt zum Verständnis der Beziehungswelt männlicher Jugendlicher liegt in der Analyse der Konstruktionsprozesse von Männlichkeit und Jugendlichkeit und deren Verschränkung. Die Freundschaften der in Gruppendiskussionen befragten männlichen Jugendlichen werden dabei in ihrer Bedeutung für die Bearbeitung biographischer Orientierungen betrachtet. Jugend und Geschlecht werden als Prozess und Praxis konzipiert.

Jüngere Jugendliche zwischen Familie, Peers und Schule: Zur Entstehung von Bildungsungleichheit an außerschulischen Bildungsorten (Studien zur Schul- und Bildungsforschung #54)

Was in der gesellschaftlichen Realität untrennbar erscheint und im Alltagsverständnis häufig als zusammengehörig betrachtet wird, muss in der wissenschaftlichen Analyse als Zusammenhang nicht unbedingt Beachtung finden. Dazu gehört der Gegenstand des Bandes: der Beitrag von Familie und Peers für die Entstehung von Bildungsungleichheit. Darin werden die Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Studie, in der die Entstehung von Bildungsungleichheit aus der Perspektive von ca. 13-Jährigen, ihren Eltern und ihren Freunden untersucht wurde, präsentiert. Das Buch bietet neue empirische Einblicke in das Wechselverhältnis von Familie und Peers in ihrer Bedeutsamkeit für die Bildungsbiografien von ca. 13-jährigen Schülern und für die Entstehung von Bildungsungleichheit. Darüber hinaus werden ausführlich die empirischen und theoretischen Voraussetzungen der Studie geklärt und im Anschluss an die Ergebnisse neue theoretische und empirische Perspektiven für die Erforschung von Bildungsungleichheit eröffnet.
