A Systemic Approach to School Development
The project School-In was an in-service professional development project which aimed to improve inclusion and facilitate schools' academic results by taking the local context, expectation structures, and school culture into consideration. This intervention project was based on a systemic approach and designed to include the entire teaching staff, ensuring cross-disciplinary and cross-level impact. Conducted in five Norwegian municipalities, School-In was financed by the Research Council of Norway (NFR) as an innovation project for the public sector. This book gives a detailed overview of the project School-In, documenting its research and intervention methods. It provides stakeholders, educational researchers, and practitioners with information about the make-up of the study. In this book, School-In is presented as an example of how new ideas and knowledge can be gained from several research approaches and readers are given specific examples of how development processes may be conducted and investigated in schools.
Model-Based Approaches to Learning
Model-Based Approaches to Learning provides a new perspective called learning by system modeling. This book explores the learning impact of students when constructing models of complex systems. In this approach students are building their own models and engaging at a much deeper conceptual level of understanding of the content, processes, and problem solving of the domain, which is proven to be successful by research from the area of mindtools. Topics covered include the foundations of knowledge structures and mental model development, modeling for understanding, modeling for assessment, individual versus collaborative modeling, and the use of simulations to support learning and instruction ...
Heterogeneity
It is true that modern teaching is faced with heterogeneous students. Ironically, this is not a recent development: students have always been different. Consequently, there is a broad discourse on "heterogeneity" in education. On the normative level of meta-narratives about modern democracy one will find the idea that more and more people have to be included in the modern welfare state. Nevertheless, before talking about inclusion one has to deal with the mechanisms of exclusion, if one is interested in the phenomenon of heterogeneity. At the heart of it, one will find the debate on the meaning of differences between students from an age group and their implications for school-based learning...
Are European Vocational Systems Up to the Job?
The evaluation of vocational education and training (VET) is in the focus of this report. Within this effort the reports on the progression of the vocational education and training systems have been compiled. They give proof of approaches and results for best practice within the participating countries. While the projects are tied up in the national vocational systems the volume gives evidence of the growing significance of vocational education and training within member states of the European Union.

Lehren und Lernen in der beruflichen Erstausbildung
Der Band legt Forschungsergebnisse zur Gestaltung einer qualifizierten kaufmännischen Berufserziehung vor. Er gibt Auskunft darüber, welche Modernisierungsmaßnahmen eingesetzt werden können und was sie bewirken. Angesichts der aktuellen Wirtschaftsentwicklung sind modernisierte Ansätze in der Gestaltung beruflicher Lehr-Lern-Prozesse zur Sicherung eines anspruchsvollen Qualitätsstandards unverzichtbar geworden. Mit ihrer Anwendung reagiert die Berufsausbildung auf die Herausforderungen des komplexer gewordenen kaufmännischen Handlungsfeldes. Die Autoren referieren Ergebnisse eines Forschungsprogramms, das die Bedingungen untersucht hat, unter denen kaufmännische Berufserziehung heute erfolgreich sein kann. Probleme der Interessenförderung und Motivation werden ebenso behandelt wie Fragen der Kompetenzentwicklung und der Gestaltung komplexer Lehr-Lern-Arrangements.
