These crises have created a unique challenge for STEM educators, given that STEM disciplinary knowledge and skills are often viewed as the panacea to the world’s economic and environmental problems. This popular view tends to focus narrowly, however, on students learning scientific, technological, engineering and mathematical concepts about the world out there, thereby ignoring the crucial role education must play in shaping students’ attitudes and values – their inner worlds – that drive moral agency to live and work in sustainable ways. It is moral agency that empowers socially and environmentally responsible citizens to tackle global crises.
In this timely book you will read inspiring stories of how professional educators in STEM-related fields have embraced transformative learning and arts education to develop and implement integrated STEAM education programs and practices that are preparing young people with special capabilities and values to actively contribute to the sustainable development of a world in crisis.

Ausgehend von der Tatsache, dass sich Lernen nicht allein von den Dozent:innen aufschlüsseln, planen und erzeugen lässt, sondern es prinzipiell von den Lernenden selber abhängt, ob und was gelernt wird, spannt der vorliegende Sammelband einen thematischen Bogen von der theoretischen Diskussion über verschiedene Ansätze und Methoden angewandter Praxisforschung im Studium bis hin zu ganz alltäglichen Fragen aus Sicht von Dozierenden, Studierenden und auch Einrichtungen der Praxis. Die hier versammelten Beiträge zeigen in Theorie, Methode und Anwendung deutlich auf, dass eine Professionalisierung von Studierenden und damit der Aufbau eines Forschenden Habitus nur mit einer (eigen)verantwortlichen Einbindung der Studierenden gelingen kann.

Wie kann Bildung sichtbar werden? Mit vorliegendem Band wird erstmalig der Versuch unternommen, über Bildungsfiguren, als plastische und anschauliche Repräsentation pädagogischer Sachverhalte, einen neuen Zugang zur bildungstheoretischen Forschung zu legen. Was Pilger, Künstler, Neuankömmlinge oder Gastgeber im Einzelnen auszeichnet und welche Lehren bzw. didaktischen Impulse aus ihnen abgeleitet werden können, wird mit bedeutenden Denkerinnen und Denkern von Comenius und Nietzsche bis zu Hannah Arendt und Jacques Derrida in dieser Arbeit grundlegend erforscht und im wörtlichen Sinne ‚evident‘.

Teaching in the Pandemic Era in Saudi Arabia presents to educators, parents, and other interested readers a variety of perspectives, challenges, and highlights of the teaching methods that could be useful in the era of COVID-19. Its purposes are to not only document an important time of human history, education, and the outbreak of unknown pandemics but also outline strategies to serve as insights into and predictions of the unknown future of humanity, diseases, and human learning.

The book series “Culture and Education” includes publications about both the theory and the practical implementation of education. The volumes are selected with regards to the manifold connections among different understandings of culture. At a time of the ongoing quantification and numerical comparison of education processes, the publications of this series share the idea that education is a fundamental and anthropological element of man’s culture. The different volumes of this series focus on the idea that the human being is inseparably connected to, and even dependent with and on, learning. However, learning is always realized in specific cultural contexts.
Examples of this are the relationships between education and religion, education and literature, education and politics or education and aesthetics. With this plurality of possible connections in mind, the series broaches the issue of the relationship between culture and education with regards to three distinct methodological approaches.
First, the series includes work on foundational research that becomes manifest in publications about the philosophy of education. Second, the series includes publications on fundamental ideas of education and their realization in different historical constellations and/or significant works on educational theory. Third, the series includes publications which address the relationship between culture and education from a comparative perspective. These volumes attempt to broaden the intercultural discussion on learning as an anthropological constant.
