Reflecting the growing integration of the European Union, this volume presents one of the results of an increasing cooperation between the education departments of Berlin, Amsterdam and London universities. The aim is to achieve a better understanding of the cultural and socio-political differences of the educational sciences and, more generally, the educational consequences and possibilities of both globalizing and pluralist developments in European countries. The areas covered include theoretical discussions of educational developments in contemporary society, education organization and policy, intercultural and integration pedagogics, education for young children as well as higher education.
Up to now European unification has primarily been considered a matter of political and economic concern. Very little attention has been paid to education and training, although many resolutions of various treaties, especially regarding the labor market, would remain ineffectual without any synchronization of the various systems of education and training. Moreover, if popular support for political and economic integration is to be secured, the citizens of Europe, in Delors' words, must "genuinely have the feeling that they are involved in this joint adventure (Europe)," whichwill be achieved only through a better understanding of each other's history and also an awareness of common European history and common cultural traditions. This volume presents a selection of papers given at a recent meeting, attended by representatives from about thirty European countries who had come together to take stock after Maastricht and to develop new perspectives for a future European educational system.
This important new book presents a 'dual strand' argument: Firstly, it gives a comprehensive account of methods in philosophy of education, with leading international figures in the field of writing from a variety of methodological and epistemological perspectives. Secondly, it examines their application in the 'real world' of education, using the topical area of children's rights as a basis for investigation. It will therefore be of interest to philosophers and educationalists alike.
In this book, Dieter Lenzen analyzes the world's three major educational systems: the Continental-European, the Atlantic (Anglo-American) and the East Asian. Distancing himself from the current trend towards the economically driven Anglo-American system of education, the author proposes an alternative model, "a university of the world". Contents: * Three concepts of the university in the globalization process * The dynamics of global social systems * Global challenges in the post-secondary educational sector as springboard for comparing systems * Convergence and divergence: current system dynamics in the post-secondary sector * Can there be fair chances in a world university system? * Conclusion Target readers: * Theorists of higher education * Policy makers of higher education * Administrators of higher education * Social scientists The author: Professor Dr. Dieter Lenzen is the president of Universitat Hamburg, vice president of the German Rectors' Conference (HRK) in Germany and the German universities' spokesperson for the HRK.
Der Band fasst Beitrage zum 16. Kongress der Deutschen Gesellschaft
fur Erziehungswissenschaft zusammen. Er reprasentiert die
Hauptlinien der Debatten uber die Herausforderungen an die
Erziehungswissenschaft, die sich durch "Medialisierung"
stellen.
Die deutsche Erziehungswissenschaft ist nicht sehr gut aufgestellt. Im Vergleich zu anderen Disziplinen sind nur ansatzweise unbestrittene Qualitatsstandards vorhanden, die schwer in Lehre und Forschung durchzusetzen und weiterzuentwicklen sind. Die AutorInnen dieses Sonderhefts der "Zeitschrift fur Erziehungswissenschaften" identifizieren Qualitatsdefizite, formulieren darauf bezogen Standards und beschreiben Prozesse, die im Endeffekt Qualitatsstandards schaffen und sichern konnen.
Die in diesem Beiheft versammelten Beitrage diskutieren erforderliche Entwicklungen in der Erziehungswissenschaft sowie Forschungsperspektiven, die sich im Anschluss an die Veroffentlichungen zur PISA-Studie ergeben."
Der Band verhandelt unter systemtheoretischer Perspektive die Frage, inwieweit das Erziehungssystem eine sich wandelnde Sonderstellung im Club der funktional differenzierten Systeme einnimmt. Was sind Besonderheiten der Struktur, des Mediums und der Codierung des Erziehungssystems im Vergleich mit anderen Funktionssystemen der Gesellschaft? Die einzelnen Beitrage zeichnen den Wandel des Erziehungssystems in der Moderne nach, stellen Bezuge zu Phanomenen wie Regionalisierung und Medialisierung her, und diskutieren Gemeinsamkeiten und Differenzen einzelner Funktionssysteme, wie das Erziehungs-, Gesundheits- und Wirtschaftssystem."
