Rethinking Teacher Education for the 21st Century
This book focuses on current trends, potential challenges and further developments of teacher education and professional development from a theoretical, empirical and practical point of view. It intends to provide valuable and fresh insights from research studies and examples of best practices from Europe and all over the world. The authors deal with the strengths and limitations of different models, strategies, approaches and policies related to teacher education and professional development in and for changing times (digitization, multiculturalism, pressure to perform).
The Base of the Iceberg
Alan Rogers looks at learning (formal, nonformal and informal) and examines the hidden world of informal (unconscious, unplanned) learning. He points out the importance of informal learning for creating tacit attitudes and values, knowledge and skills which influence (conscious, planned) learning – formal and non-formal. Moreover, he explores the implications of informal learning for educational planners and teachers in the context of lifelong learning. While mainly aimed at adult educators, the book’s arguments apply also to schooling and higher education, in both industrialised societies and developing countries where large numbers of children and adults are not and have not been in school and so rely on informal learning to manage change.
Leadership in Early Education in Times of Change

VET Boost: Towards a Theory of Professional Competencies
The themes of the different papers in this book are related to five major areas of research. First, the book presents the work on a large-scale assessment in vocational and occupational education and training. Reason was the work of Frank Achtenhagen and his colleagues on the preparation of a VET-PISA which started in 2004 which has now become more and more a concrete program. The contributions to this part of the book contain a project description and profound presentations and discussions of measurement and evaluation problems. It reflects also the work of Achtenhagen with respect to item response theory, measurement and testing. The second part of this book presents a unique endeavour of ...
Methods for Researching Professional Learning and Development
This volume provides alternatives for tackling existing empirical, methodological, and analytical challenges. It does so by providing a broad overview of less established, as well as emerging methods, which are of great relevance for current research on professional learning and development. As such, it offers a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art methodologies and future directions within the workplace learning and professional development research. By describing these novel approaches and providing empirical illustrations, the book promotes innovative methodologies for investigating professional learning and development. It also supports scholars to understand upcoming empirical research and methods and encourages novice as well as established researchers to adopt new empirical strategies beyond traditional ones that have the potential to enrich a better understanding of professional learning and development.
From Diagnostics to Learning Success
Accelerated substantial progress regarding many fields of production and services imposes pressure upon the labor market. Employers are desperately looking for skilled workers in nearly all technological fields. All over the world this pressure reaches the national systems of vocational education and training. Along with the output orientation turn new standards are imposed, forcing firms and schools to make every endeavor to improve and remodel their programs as well as their practices to reach more and more ambitious goals. To be successful they need the results of scientific research from which they demand reliable information on methods to diagnose the state and learning progress of students and on means to foster and promote competencies of heterogeneous groups of leaners. The book offers 22state-of-the-art articles covering the central fields of vocational education and training and reporting on new and adequate ways to deal with these challenges.
Kompetenzentwicklung im Masterstudium Wirtschaftspädagogik
Ziel der Analyse ist die Professionalisierung von Lehrenden an berufsbildenden Schulen im Bereich des Rechnungswesens. Die Autorin stellt die Frage, wie sich das fachdidaktische Wissen und Können von Studierenden entwickelt. In einer Längsschnittstudie im Paneldesign wurden 2016 alle Studienanfänger:innen im Masterstudium Wirtschaftspädagogik an den Universitäten Graz, Innsbruck und Wien befragt. Die nächsten Erhebungen folgten vor und nach der schulpraktischen Phase. Anhand dieser Daten analysiert Elisabeth Riebenbauer mit einem Mixed-Methods-Ansatz die individuelle Entwicklung der Studierenden im Studienverlauf: Welche Lerngelegenheiten sie wahrnehmen, wie diese zum Kompetenzerwerb beitragen, wie Fachwissen, persönliche Merkmale und Vorerfahrungen die Fähigkeit zur Unterrichtsplanung beeinflussen. Die Befunde zeigen große individuelle Unterschiede bei den Lernfortschritten und liefern wertvolle Impulse für die Weiterentwicklung universitärer Lerngelegenheiten. Mit ihrer umfangreichen, längsschnittlichen Erhebung und Analyse schließt die Autorin eine Forschungslücke im Bereich der Lehrerbildung.
