This handbook provides an important overview of corporeality, embodiment and learning in education from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Situating the body at the centre of educational practice, the editors and contributors introduce the concept of ¿tact¿ as a practical corporeal language. The chapters provide a spectrum of historical, conceptual, empirical and practical educational approaches for embodied pedagogical engagement. Tact and embodied knowledge form a significant component of a teacher¿s capability and professionalism: interacting with students, a pedagogue responds to them tactfully, emotionally, sensitively, and reflectively searching for the right thing to do, the right words to say, improvising in aural, linguistic, spatial, and visual way that are as restrained as they are enabled by the body. This handbook questions the familiar and established essentialist and naturalist view of the body to allow new perspectives on how corporeality affects learners.It will be of interest to scholars in education and philosophy as well as those researching in across social sciences.

This book presents diverse processes of crafting that bring humans, more-than-humans and the environment closer to one another and, by doing so, addresses personal and educational developments towards ecological sustainability. It discusses the human-material relationship, introduces posthuman theoretical entry points and reflects on the implementation of such theoretical perspectives in education. The practical examples of crafting-with the environment, the material practices and reflections posed in the book, provide insights into possible ways of levelling out human and material hierarchies.  The chapters of this book give examples of artists' and craftspeople's processes of thinking through materials and with materials, but also their reflections on how more-than-humans (animals and plants) craft from available materials, and how the environment and landscapes re-craft themselves through tedious processes of transformation. These case examples are founded on the authors' own experiences with phenomena they are trying to understand and critically explore.This book is of interest to professional creative practitioners, art and craft educators, art teacher educators or researchers in the field of creative practices. It has power to inspire rethinking of present educational practices, to ignite critical reflections about materials and more-than-humans, and, hopefully, motivate transformations toward more ecologically sustainable ways of life.

I efteråret 2022 blev der indgået en aftale om reform af læreruddannelsen. Med denne genindføres dansk som andetsprog som undervisningsfag. Samtidig bliver fagområdet en obligatorisk del af grundfagligheden som erstatning for det, der tidligere hed undervisning af tosprogede. Det kalder på opmærksomhed og fordybelse og på en aktualisering af centrale begreber og stofområder! Temanummeret vil belyse fagområdet dansk som andetsprog, så vi i læreruddannelse og skole sammen kan skabe de bedste forudsætninger for, at elever med dansk som andetsprog kan deltage og få det fulde udbytte af skolens undervisning.

This book examines the role of teaching within public education. It critiques its function in today's educational policies and theories and establishes an alternative way of understanding teaching. It explores teaching from within a Sophist tradition of educational practice and thought.The first part of the book discusses the vital link between public education and democracy, the shifts in schooling's role in fostering competition and comparisons at the cost of social responsibility and democratisation. It identifies the driving force of those shifts as forces of aggression and destruction, central to a neoliberal ideology. The second part of the book argues for a practice of Sophistical teaching rather than Socratic teaching. It explores in-depth what it could mean to be teaching in an up-to-date sophist tradition of educational thought and practice.The book also includes insights for teaching to counter aggressive forces of nationalism, racism, and late capitalism's violence and the escalating climate crisis. Readers will be able to understand teaching within educational thought and precisely how different teaching forms can contribute to education as democratisation.

This book traces raciolinguistic ideologies in England's schools, focusing on post- 2010 policy reforms which frame the language practices of low-income, racialised speakers as limited and deficient. Across interviews, policy mechanisms and classroom observations, the author shows how raciolinguistic ideologies are rooted in British colonial logics which continue to shape contemporary education policy. He shows how these policies require marginalised speakers to modify their speech patterns in line with normative standards of whiteness under new guises of social justice and research robustness. Finally, new visions for language education and linguistic justice are offered, demonstrating how teachers can see themselves as language activists to identify, resist and reject faults in a hostile and oppressive policy architecture. This book draws on fields including critical language policy, educational sociolinguistics, genealogy, raciolinguistics and critical language awareness.

Teaching is hard. And in the last three years, for so many of us, the job has gotten so much harder. When we teach, a whole lot is expected of us-- but we expect a whole lot from ourselves, too. That's a lot of pressure! No wonder so many of us go into school every day giving the job everything we've got only to go home feeling demoralized, discouraged, and disgruntled -- feeling like no matter what we do, it will never be enough. That's the unbearable weight of great expectations right there! It's those unrealistic and untenable expectations that weigh so many of us down, pushing our toes to the precipice of that ever-looming burnout that has claimed so many of our most seasoned teachers. For us try-hards, just being "proficient" will never be sufficient -- but know this: there really is something we can do to make the vocation of teaching more sustainable, rewarding and enjoyable -- and it starts with us.

Der Band greift Überlegungen auf, die an postcolonial studies im erziehungswissenschaftlichen Kontext anschließen. Schule als Ort der Bildung, aber auch häufig als Ort von Othering und Diskriminierung wird hierbei in den Blick genommen. Die internationale Fachdebatte wird für die deutschsprachige Bildungsforschung erschlossen, gebündelt und in den hiesigen Kontext transferiert. Ziel ist es, den Blick auf Bildung, Schule und die meist verdeckt mitlaufenden Themen zu erweitern, für Diskriminierungswirkungen der Bildungsinstitutionen zu sensibilisieren und der epistemologischen Gewalt eine Dekonstruktion hegemonialen Wissens entgegenzusetzen.

This edited book brings together an international cast of contributors and chapters which recognise the complexity of teacher leadership and its situated and dynamic nature. Chapters in this book are research-driven, and each reports on findings from (teacher-led and otherwise) research, synthesising the current state-of-the-art in each area. Each chapter uses illustrations of relevant practices from which lessons can be drawn. The aim is to come to a broad understanding of what best practices have emerged over the years, and where gaps still remain. Each of the chapters contributes to our understanding of how the different elements that make up teacher leadership are interconnected, with the concluding chapter synthesising these into a framework of language teacher leadership. This book will be of interest to pre-service and in-service teachers in the context of a professional learning community, as well as students and scholars of Applied Linguistics, Language Teaching and Learning,and Teacher Education.

Die Dissertation widmet sich dem Ruf Lehramtsstudierender nach ¿mehr Praxis¿ in ihren Studiengängen. Auf der Grundlage fallrekonstruktiver Interviewanalysen wird gezeigt, dass dieser Wunsch als sozialisatorisches Problem verstanden werden kann, resultierend aus dem Zusammenwirken individueller Hochschulsozialisationsprozesse und Strukturen der Lehrkräftebildung. Damit trägt die Untersuchung nicht nur zu einem besseren Verständnis über Ursachen hinter dem Praxiswunsch Lehramtsstudierender bei, sondern verdeutlicht zugleich, dass dieser Wunsch Ausdruck eines komplexen Problems ist, welches die Universität selbst beeinflusst.

Digital Education is recognised as a key transformative innovation for K-12 school and university teaching and learning, as well as, for professional development and vocational training. As a result, blended and online courses are nowadays widely deployed to meet the needs of K-12, higher education and vocational training students, as well as, the needs for professional development of in-service professionals. In this context, important professional roles in digital education and training, such as, the Instructional Designers, who design and develop online and blended courses, and the Trainers or Tutors who support the delivery of these online and blended courses, require new professional competences compared to those assumed at the traditional face to face education and tra ining programs.This is particularly relevant today, in the post Covid-19 era, where educational organisations, leaders and teachers are challenged with reinventing their teaching and learning environments to offer higher quality, more accessible and inclusive teaching, learning and assessment. Educational Data Literacy (EDL) is a core competence for all education professionals, including school teachers, instructional designers and tutors of online and blended learning courses, as well as educational institutions' leaders. Nevertheless, existing professional competence frameworks for educators pay little attention to EDL, missing out the potential of using emerging EDL methods and tools in online and blended teaching and learning - thus there is a need for extending existing professional competence frameworks for educators with new competences to accommodate the emerging field of EDL. To this end, this brief monograph presents a comprehensive proposal of an Educational Data Literacy Competence Profile (EDL-CP) framework for education professionals, as well as, exemplary learning outcomes for the proposed EDL-CP framework, and use-case examples for indicative target groups, namely instructional designers, e-Trainers and K-12 school teachers. The work of this book has been produced within the project "e;Learn2Analyze - An Academia-Industry Knowledge Alliance for enhancing Online Training Professionals' (Instructional Designers and e-Trainers) Competences in Educational Data Analytics"e; which is co-funded by European Commission through the Erasmus+ Program (Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices - Knowledge Alliances).
