Empirische Studien zeigen, dass der Lehrerberuf psychisch stark belastend ist und dass Zusammenhange zwischen dem Gesundheitszustand der Lehrkrafte und der Bildungsqualitat der heranwachsenden Generation vorliegen. Auf diesen Erkenntnissen aufbauend beschaftigt sich die vorliegende Studie damit, welche subjektiven Theorien Lehrkrafte bezuglich des Erhalts ihrer Gesundheit im beruflichen Kontext explizieren und welche eigenen Handlungsmoeglichkeiten sie dabei sehen. Die Ergebnisse werden im Kontext von Schul- und Personalentwicklung sowie Lehrerprofessionalitat diskutiert und fur Wissenschaft und Praxis anschlussfahig gemacht.

This book examines how educational practice can be improved through practice-focused educational research. The editors and contributors explore the issues involved in breaking down boundaries between educational research and practice - research often seen as an elitist activity that can only be determined by a favoured few - as well as the socially constructed nature of boundaries between academic and vocational education. Containing illuminating case studies written by practicing teachers from the further and vocational education sector, it posits that educational research should enable teachers to learn from research in order to improve their own educational practice. This book will be of interest and value to scholars of further and vocational education, as well as those wanting to bridge the gap between research and practice.

Im Zentrum des Bandes stehen monetare und nicht-monetare Ertrage von Weiterbildung, die sich auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, im Einkommen oder auch im zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagement zeigen. Trotz der thematischen und institutionellen Vielfalt der Weiterbildung und der Unterschiedlichkeit der damit einhergehenden Erwartungen stellen sich die Autorinnen und Autoren der Herausforderung, kausale Wirkungszusammenhange zu identifizieren. Impulse dafur bietet der Vergleich der vorgestellten internationalen Analysen.

This edited collection offers a unique multidisciplinary perspective into the many factors that go into designing, facilitating, expanding, and assessing experiential learning (EL) from the perspective of faculty and staff educators. The editor and contributors bring decades of expertise with different forms of EL, including community-engaged learning, education abroad, internships, and more. Chapters offer case studies and reflections which highlight personal experiences and anecdotes which illuminate the realities of experiential teaching and learning. Through these stories and narratives, readers may better understand what doing EL entails on an everyday basis-both on a local and global scale-and learn how to enhance support and resources for experiential educators on college and university campuses.

This book explores academic identity development in the 21st century university. Recognising dramatic shifts in academic practices and landscapes, the book pushes back on rising neoliberalism with a person-focused, culturally aware pathway for career development. Stories of the author's own experiences intersect a solid grounding in educational literature, encouraging scholars to take an active role in considering their own academic identity. In doing so, this volume suggests that academics look inward at what matters to them - rather than being overwhelmed by academia - in order to shape identities and career trajectories that are dynamic and satisfying.

A comprehensive exploration of technology's role in adult learning Technology and Innovation in Adult Learning introduces educators and students to the intersection of adult learning and the growing technological revolution. Written by an internationally recognized expert in the field, this book explores the theory, research, and practice driving innovation in both adult learning and learning technology, and illuminates a powerful approach to recognize and leverage these opportunities. Building on current trends and research in technology and its use, each chapter illustrates the need, opportunities, and examples of current and future technologies that scaffold adult learning, and provides comprehensive coverage of both current and emerging challenges. Many adult learning faculty, practitioners, and students realize that technology presents a growing and ever-present set of issues, yet few feel confident in identifying the opportunities that arise with each step forward. This book clarifies the interplay between adult learning and learning technology, and characterizes the cyclic exchange of information and opportunities that link these fields now and in the future. * Understand the critical issues currently affecting adult learning * Learn how technology is presenting both opportunities and challenges for the teaching and learning of adults in different contexts * Examine recent research on learning technology for adult learners * Discover how technological innovation can be applied now and how it will continue to shape the future of learning Adult learning is on the rise, and there is no mistaking technology's role; whether they're learning with or about technology, today's adult learners come with unique sets of needs and skills that demand specialized approaches. Traditional pedagogical techniques don't transfer directly, and learning technology requires its own unique approach to development and use. Technology and Innovation in Adult Learning equips practitioners to further adult learning and shape the future of the field, while providing a rich perspective for classroom inquiry and research.

This book examines the nature of age as an aspect of social identity and its relationship to experiences of formal education. Providing a new and critical approach to debates about age and social identity, the author explores why age remains such an important aspect of self-making in contemporary society. Through an ethnographic account of a secondary school in the south-east of England, the author poses three principal questions. Why are schools in English organised according to age? How do pupils and teachers learn to 'act their age' while at school? Ultimately, why does age remain such an important and complex organising concept for modern society? Cutting across lines of class and gender, this timely book will be of interest to students and scholars of self-making and identity in educational contexts, and others interested in how schooling socialises young people into categories of age as the foundational building blocks of modern society.
