Gibt es ein padagogisches Konzept, das in einer globalisierenden Gesellschaft eine erfolgreiche Schuledukation gewahrleisten kann? Dieser Frage nachzugehen, scheint nicht nur vor dem Hintergrund von Pisastudien und ihren Ergebnissen aktuell und lohnenswert. Ausgehend von globalen Interdependenzen kommt der Begriff Burgergesellschaft mit seinen Moeglichkeiten zu aktivem, handlungsorientiertem Lehren und Lernen ins Blickfeld. Es werden Denkmuster und Ansatze der vormodernen, modernen und postmodernen Padagogik befragt, die zur Loesung der Frage nach einem padagogischen Konzept beitragen koennten. Ob die hier gefundenen Ansatze sich auch fur eine Padagogik der Globalgesellschaft eignen, soll am Beispiel Indien eine Untersuchung von Dokumenten indischer Primarerziehung, national bedeutsamen reformpadagogischen Modellen und aktuellen Projekten erbringen.

Employees are increasingly asked to make sophisticated decisions about their pension and healthcare plans. Yet recent research shows that the decisions 'real' people make are often not those of the careful and well-informed economic agent conventionally portrayed in economic research. Rather, decision-makers tend to operate with flawed information and make some of the most critical financial decisions of their lives lacking a full understanding of the options before them and the implications of their decisions. Pension Design and Structure explores the assumptions behind commonly-held theories of retirement decision-making, in order to draw out the consequences of frontier research in behavioral finance and economics for those interested in better design and structure of retirement pensions. Using large datasets newly provided by financial service firms and real-world experiments, this volume tests the hypotheses of this research. This is the first book to explore the implications of behavioral finance research for pensions and retirement studies. The authors blend cutting-edge research from several fields including Finance, Economics, Management, Sociology, and Psychology. The book will be of interest to pension plan participants and sponsors, financial service groups responsible for pensions, and retirement system regulators.

Die hier durchgefuhrte Querschnittsstudie evaluiert erstmalig, ob Schulen sich erfolgreich eigenstandig - wie bildungspolitisch gefordert -, in sogenannte "problemloesende" Organisationseinheiten transformieren koennen, um ihren Unterricht im Rahmen der Schulentwicklung kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie stellen hierbei vor allem die Nachhaltigkeit von Schulentwicklung in Frage, da weder die Lehrpersonen noch Schulleitungsmitglieder an den evaluierten Berufsfachschulen der Meinung waren, dass Schulentwicklung den Unterricht und die beruflichen Fahigkeiten der Einzellehrperson uberhaupt beeinflusst. Begrundet liegt dieses Ergebnis u.a. in der von den Schulen vorgenommenen Implementierungsstrategie. So wird das Lehrerkollegium allgemein zu wenig in Entscheidungsprozesse involviert und beispielsweise nur unzureichend uber den Zielerreichungsgrad und Massnahmen abgeschlossener Schulentwicklungsprojekte informiert.
