In dem vergangenen Jahrzehnt sah sich der Kindergarten vor neuen Herausforderungen gestellt, welche die Gesellschaft an ihn heranträgt: Das ist einerseits der gestiegene Anspruch an die Bildungsarbeit bereits im Kindergarten und andererseits der Anspruch an die bessere Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit die Strukturen der pädagogischen Praxis im Kindergartenalltag analysiert und beschrieben.
Datengrundlage sind Videografien von Kindergartenalltagen in 61 Kindergartengruppen, davon 41 Aufnahmen in Deutschland und 20 in der Deutschschweiz. Zusätzlich wurden die strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen mit einem Fragebogen erhoben. Diese Daten entstanden im Rahmen der Studie „Professionalisierung im Elementarbereich“ (PRIMEL) (Kucharz et al., 2014), welche in der Linie „Ausweitung der Weiterbildungsinitiative Frühpädagogische Fachkräfte“ (AWiFF) vom BMBF gefördert wurde.
Zur Beantwortung der Fragestellung wurden in Anlehnung an Andrist und Chanson (2003) die Videografien inhaltsanalytisch (deskriptiv und induktiv ergänzt) hinsichtlich der gezeigten Strukturelemente kodiert, welche die Gestaltung eines Kindergartenalltags ausmachen: geführte Sequenz, freie Sequenz, angeleitete Sequenz und verbindende Sequenz. Mit Hilfe einer Clusteranalyse (Ward-Methode) wurden die unterschiedliche Verteilung der Sequenzen eines gezeigten Alltages gruppiert und somit einem Strukturierungsmuster (Cluster) zugeordnet. Die Clusteranalyse ergab, dass die Strukturen der pädagogischen Praxis drei Strukturierungsmuster bilden: „Kind-initiiert“, „Fachperson-initiiert“ und „Alltags-orientiert“. In allen Strukturierungsmuster kommen alle Strukturelemente vor. Kennzeichnend für das Strukturierungsmuster „Kind-initiiert“ ist das häufige Vorkommen der freien Sequenz und für das Strukturierungsmuster „Fachpersonen-initiiert“ die vielen geführten Sequenzen. Im Strukturierungsmuster „Alltags-orientiert“ machen verbindenden Sequenzen (Rituale, Routine, Essen und Übergänge), welche alltägliche Handlungen und Rituale umfassen, den größten Teil der Zeit aus.
Die Gestaltung des Mittagessens wurde in drei Videografien inhaltsanalytisch hinsichtlich der Arrangements analysiert. Hier ließen sich induktiv vier Kategorien – Instruktion/ Anweisung, Autonomie/Eigenständigkeit, Akzeptanz von Vorlieben und Abneigungen, Klima/Kultur/Rituale – herausarbeiten und drei Gestaltungstypen – „Familienähnlich“, „Mensaähnlich“ und „pädagogisches Familien-Restaurant“ – unterscheiden.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen auf, dass neben der Altersspanne der Kinder in der Gruppe, das Makrosystem (Länderebene) die Tagesgestaltung des Kindergartens stark beeinflusst. Die Sichtbarmachung der Strukturen auf der Mesoebene ermöglicht es, diese vergleichend zu diskutieren und Implikationen für die pädagogische Praxis abzuleiten.
Previous research has found higher levels of heatwave mortality and morbidity among urban residents with a migration background because of their social, health and environmental conditions. The purpose of the study was to investigate and compare heat induced changes in the outdoor recreation behaviours of Turkish migrants with those of non-migrants on hot days in Vienna. Specifically, the study compared coping behaviours due to heat such as inter-area, intra-area, temporal and activity displacement between migrants and non-migrants. The study interviewed 400 migrants and non-migrants in four public green spaces of different area sizes and asked about their outdoor recreation motives and activities, as well as behavioural changes, due to summer heat. Results show that migrants have different motives for visiting urban green spaces on hot days, and that they visit these less frequently on hot days compared to non-migrants. While both groups shift their outdoor uses more to shady areas and the cooler times of the day, more migrants visit green spaces in the afternoon, perform more energetic recreational activities, and use sunnier sites more frequently than non-migrants on hot days. Few migrants and non-migrants stated that they would visit alternative green spaces when it is hot. The results indicate that migrants’ behaviours result in higher heat exposure, while making less use of the opportunities larger green spaces such as forests can provide for heat relief. Recommendations on how green and city planners could reduce heat related health risks for both study groups are presented.
In Kindertageseinrichtungen und Schulen wird dem pädagogischen Personal in Bezug auf Sprachförderung ein hoher Qualifizierungsbedarf attestiert; zugleich gibt es wenig gesichertes empirisches Wissen über die Wirkungen entsprechender Fortbildungen. Das Fortbildungsangebot und die Teilnehmenden sind heterogen. Um die Heterogenität der Teilnehmenden zu entschlüsseln, wurden im BiSS-Evaluationsprojekt „SPRÜNGE“ (Sprachförderung im Übergang Kindergarten – Grundschule evaluieren) auf Grundlage einer Typenbildung von N = 27 Fach- und Lehrkräften Unterschiede in ihren Sprachförderkompetenzen und im Fortbildungsbesuch empirisch-quantitativ mittels des Online-Tests SprachKoPF überprüft und für zwei Sprachfördertypen ihre handlungsleitenden Orientierungen in Bezug auf die Wirkungen von Fortbildungen rekonstruiert. Bei diesen beiden, stark fortgebildeten Sprachfördertypen konnten differenzierbare Deutungen zu den Wirkungen von Fortbildungen herausgearbeitet werden, wobei einerseits eine stärkere Kita-Orientierung und andererseits eine stärkere Schulorientierung als (implizite) Referenz deutlich wird. Zudem ließen sich Gelingensbedingungen von Fortbildungen wie „Praxisrelevanz“, die als allgemeingültig angenommen werden, typenspezifisch ausdifferenzieren. Mit der multiperspektivischen Untersuchung der differentiellen Wirkungen von Fortbildungen leistet das Projekt einen explorativen Beitrag zu einer quantitativ und qualitativ ausgerichteten Wirkungsforschung am Übergang Kita-Grundschule.
The use of scaffolding to promote preschool children’s competencies of evidence-based reasoning
(2021)
Scientific reasoning encompasses individuals‘ evaluation of evidence with regard to a given hypothesis. In this study, we investigated whether preschool children are able to reason with empirical evidence in the science context of elasticity. N = 63 preschoolers were presented with tasks following the deductive reasoning paradigm and were asked to evaluate the relevance of given events (objects) with regard to a hypothesis. In a repeated measures experimental design with three groups, we tested whether different forms of scaffolding (adaptive prompts with/without modeling of advanced reasoning) would promote children’s reasoning compared to a control group without intervention. We found that adaptive prompts with modeling significantly improved children’s evaluation of irrelevant events in the posttest. Further, these children’s reasoning patterns scored significantly higher than those of the control group. Our results suggest that preschool children are able to reason with evidence if they are given adequate support. Specifically, the modeling of advanced reasoning functioned as a scaffold beyond the use of adaptive prompts in irrelevant event evaluations.
Lockdown measures including the closure of physical activity facilities were installed against the spread of the novel coronavirus in March 2020. The aim of the current online survey was to assess the lockdown effects on physical activity in German adults. We assessed physical activity using the European Health Interview Survey (EHIS) questionnaire. Pre-lockdown vs. lockdown differences were tested with the X2 test and the Student’s t-test for paired data. Predictor variables to explain compliance with physical activity recommendations were identified using a fixed effects binary logistic regression analysis. Data of 979 respondents were analyzed. Transport related and leisure time physical activity decreased (p < 0.001, d = 0.16; p < 0.001, d = 0.22, respectively). Compliance with physical activity recommendations decreased from 38.1% to 30.4% (chi2 [1, 1958] = 12.754, p < 0.001, V = 0.08). In the regression analysis, BMI (OR 0.944, 95% CI 0.909–0.981; p = 0.003), education (OR 1.111, 95% CI 1.021–1.208; p = 0.015), transport related (OR 1.000, 95% CI 1.000–1.000; p = 0.008) and leisure time physical activity (OR 1.004, 95% CI 1.003–1.004; p < 0.001), muscle strengthening (OR 5.206, 95% CI 4.433–6.114; p < 0.001), as well as the ‘lockdown vs. normal’ categorical variable (OR 0.583, 95% CI 0.424–0.802; p = 0.001) showed a contribution, while sex (p = 0.152), age (p = 0.266), work related physical activity (p = 0.133), and remote working (p = 0.684) did not. Physical activity declined in German adults, and should also be promoted in light of the emerging evidence on its protective effects of against COVID-19. Special attention should be given to muscle strengthening activities and groups with lower educational attainment.
When discussing possible consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems certain that the effects of the pandemic will most likely magnify existing educational disparities in Europe and around the world. However, so far, little is known about how the conditions and consequences of distance learning intensify existing dynamics of educational inequalities. This paper aims at answering the question of how educational disadvantages in socially deprived settings are exacerbated through the pandemic. On this basis, it reflects on potential educational practices that can help countering these dynamics. For this study, interviews with teachers in socio-economically disadvantaged (n = 12) and in privileged settings (n = 4) were conducted, transcribed and investigated through qualitative data analysis. The data were categorized with reference to Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of capital to analyze and systematize the empirical results. Finally, a case study from the interview material offers options for action that can counteract a possible worsening of educational disadvantages and help (re-)think school and teaching based on the experiences gained during the lockdown.
We investigate the effectiveness of professional development (PD) aimed at promoting teachers' language-support skills in elementary school science instruction. In a 2-year quasi-experimental field trial study with 32 teachers in Germany, an intervention group (IG) and a control group (CG) received PD for teaching selected science topics; the IG additionally received PD for language support. Strong treatment effects emerged on teachers’ language-support skills and, to a lesser extent, on language support activities in classroom teaching. All teachers gained pedagogical content knowledge and self-efficacy for teaching elementary school science, thus pointing to the effectiveness of the PD.
In the process of life course transitions, relations between the self and the world transform, which can according to Hartmut Rosa be framed as resonance. This article focuses on the retirement transition and thus on the exit from gainful employment as one of the central spheres of our world relationship in late modernity. It raises the following questions: How do experiences of resonance change in the course of the retirement transition? Does the loss of gainful employment lead to disruptions or even the absence of resonance in terms of alienation? And which role do dimensions of social inequality, such as gender, income, education or mental health status play for resonance transformations in the transition to retirement? In terms of a reflexive mixed-methods design, this article combines quantitative panel data from the German Ageing Survey (2008–17) with a qualitative longitudinal study from the project “Doing Retiring” (2017–21). Our results show that the transition from work to retirement entails a specific “resonance choreography” that comprises a phase of disaffection (lack of resonance) at the end of one’s working life followed by a liminal phase in which people search for intensified experiences of resonance. We outline practices in which transitioning subjects seek out resonance, and the experiences they make within this process according to their social positions. We thereby find that the desire for resonance tends to be beyond intentional resonance management which manifests in products and services like coaching or wellness. In our conclusions, we discuss how resonance theory and retirement research/life course research can be fruitfully combined, but also highlight the methodological challenges the operationalization of resonance entails.
Child sexual abuse has been discussed thoroughly; however, marginalized groups of victims such as victims of child sexual abuse in early childhood and victims of maternal sexual abuse have rarely been considered. This essay combines these two relevant perspectives in child protection and aims to pin out future directions in the field of child abuse and specifically maternal sexual abuse and its early prevention. In the course of the 7th Haruv International PhD Workshop on Child Maltreatment at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, in 2019 the topics of maternal sexual abuse and early prevention of child maltreatment in Germany were discussed and intertwined. Problems concerning the specific research of maternal sexual abuse in early childhood and prevention were identified. Both, maternal sexual abuse as well as sexual abuse in early childhood, i.e. before the age of three, are underreported topics. Society still follows a “friendly mother illusion” while recent cases in German media as well as research findings indicate that the mother can be a perpetrator of child sexual abuse. Similarly, sexual abuse in early childhood, namely abuse before the age of three, is existent; although the recognition of it is difficult and young children are, in regards to their age and development especially vulnerable. They need protective adults in their environment, who are aware of sexual abuse in the first years of life. Raising awareness on marginalized or tabooed topics can be a form of prevention. An open dialog in research and practice about the so far marginalized topics of maternal sexual abuse and sexual abuse in early childhood is crucial.
Due to the increasingly heterogeneous trajectories of aging, gerontology requires theoretical models and empirical methods that can meaningfully, reliably, and precisely describe, explain, and predict causes and effects within the aging process, considering particular contexts and situations. Human behavior occurs in contexts; nevertheless, situational changes are often neglected in context-based behavior research. This article follows the tradition of environmental gerontology research based on Lawton’s Person-Environment-Interaction model (P-E model) and the theoretical developments of recent years. The authors discuss that, despite an explicit time component, current P-E models could be strengthened by focusing on detecting P-E interactions in various everyday situations. Enhancing Lawton’s original formula via a situationally based component not only changes the theoretical perspectives on the interplay between person and environment but also demands new data collection approaches in empirical environmental research. Those approaches are discussed through the example of collecting mobile data with smartphones. Future research should include the situational dimension to investigate the complex nature of person environment interactions.
