The ancient Chinese philosophy of Taoism contains profound wisdom about the cosmos, nature, human life, and education. Taoism seeks to be in harmony with nature, and using it as a guide can help us live in a way that is healing to both ourselves and the planet. Taoism, Teaching, and Learning identifies key aspects of Taoist thought and highlights how these principles can promote a holistic approach to teaching and learning. In particular, this book offers educators guidelines and pedagogical examples for how to instil a perspective of interconnectedness into their classrooms. It sheds light on how philosophical Taoism articulates a vision of the universe and life that mirrors the actual realities of nature. Providing frameworks and methods for teaching and learning based on the interconnectedness of life, Taoism, Teaching, and Learning develops an inspiring vision for education and helps us to see our world in a deeply holistic and meaningful way.

As a history teacher it is important to acquire a meaningful understanding of what constitutes history, how historical knowledge is developed, and how historical learning and teaching of young people can succeed. Since these assumptions influence history teaching, it is necessary for teachers to reconsider their epistemological concepts and approaches while training to become a history teacher. The present study analyses the effects of teacher training on Swiss-German prospective history teachers’ epistemological beliefs, as well as on their assumptions about learning and teaching by applying quantitative methods of survey analysis. The results underline the importance of courses in history and history didactics for the formation of students’ concepts. The analysis does, however, also reveals that teacher training in German-speaking Switzerland may also lead to beliefs that are not necessarily defined as goals of higher education in history. Based on survey answers, a qualitative in-depth study with experienced teachers underlines the importance of beliefs for the design of history classes. Furthermore, the use of their assumptions for teaching is also influenced by the pedagogical content knowledge and other concepts (e.g. about learners) of the teachers. On the one hand, the results illustrate the effectiveness of future history teachers’ training courses, but on the other hand, they also underpin the need to discuss the design of higher education training for history teachers.

This book highlights the design of an educational module for an innovative intensive program. The theme is very relevant in the contemporary approach to teaching activities. In fact, thanks to the didactic design, it is possible to obtain a strong relationship between teachers and learners, as required by the Bologna Process. It also allows a stronger definition of learning outcomes. After a general excursus on the subject, the manuscript refers to a recent experience carried out in the Aeolian Island for the Erasmus + Programme, called VVITA. In it, an international group of students and teachers spent a period in the Aeolian Islands, to focus on the features of local vernacular architecture. The attention has been addressed to the Aeolian House, which is a wonderful example of ante litteram sustainable architecture. On the island of Filicudi, one of the most beautiful of the archipelago, it has preserved its characteristics intact. The book is completed by teachers’ lectures and students’ final reports.

Im Zentrum des vierten Beiheftes der DDS zum Thema „Schule und Corona“ steht die Frage, wie das von Bund und Ländern beschlossene Aktionsprogramm „Aufholen nach Corona“ in den Ländern bisher umgesetzt wurde. Auf der Grundlage von umfassenden Dokumentenanalysen und Expert*inneninterviews werden die von den Ländern geplanten Förder- und Unterstützungsmaßnahmen beschrieben und vergleichend ausgewertet.Der Aufbau flächendeckender Unterstützungsstrukturen ist für alle Länder mit konzeptionellen und praktischen Herausforderungen verbunden, die zudem noch durch einen chronischen Mangel an pädagogischem Personal massiv verschärft werden. Der Ländervergleich zeigt, wie unterschiedlich die Länder mit diesen Herausforderungen umgehen. Während einige Länder gut an vorhandenen Strukturen anknüpfen konnten, fehlt es in anderen Ländern weitgehend an einem den Zielsetzungen des Aktionsprogramms entsprechenden und in sich stimmigen Konzept. Besonders deutlich wird dies bei der Verteilung der Mittel an die Schulen. Hier steht eine zielgruppenorientierte Mittelzuweisung dem altbekannten Gießkannenprinzip gegenüber. Nichtsdestotrotz zeichnen sich auch wegweisende Ansätze für die kompensatorische Förderung von Schüler*innen ab, die künftig für den Abbau von Bildungsungleichheit auch jenseits von Corona genutzt werden können.Ergänzend werden in einem Beitrag von Armin Himmelrath die Aufholprogramme der EU-Länder in den Blick genommen und deren finanzielles Engagement für den Abbau von Lernrückständen verglichen.

This book is an adaptation of a research presented at the University for Andean Development (Huancavelica - Peru), whose objective was to describe the relationship between the "puchka" as a technique and manual eye development in preschool children, demonstrating as the "puchka" intervenes in the development of certain manual eye coordination exercises in the I.E.P of Initial "Corazón de Jesús" -Lircay (Peru). The “puchka” is a spinning technique. This technique, in its execution and application, allows developing hand-eye coordination in children. The performance of certain exercises and fine psychomotor movements involve the eyes, hands, fingers and other aspects in certain manual eye coordination exercises that serve to initiate pre-writing and instruct in cognitive development, abilities, skills and others. The "puchka" is an ancient art that the ancient Peruvians have passed from generation to generation, allowing them to make beautiful cloaks and other pieces of fascinating cultural expression. The study is applied type and descriptive level. The result showed that, through the use of the "puchka" as a technique, manual eye development in children was improved, as stated in the main hypothesis of the project. The results can be used by the teachers of the Educational Institutions of the initial level in the realization of their activities related to the development of the manual eye coordination, since it will also favor the development of writing, strokes, molding, painting. , etc. Another aspect that must be taken into account is that it helps improve preschool care, as it is a more appropriate technique, since it is part of our socio-cultural environment. Este libro es una adaptación de una investigación presentada a la Universidad para el Desarrollo Andino (Huancavelica – Perú), cuyo objetivo fue describir la relación que se da entre la “puchka” como técnica y el desarrollo óculo manual en los niños pre escolares, demostrando como la “puchka” interviene en el desarrollo de ciertos ejercicios de coordinación óculo manual en la I.E.P de Inicial “Corazón de Jesús” -Lircay (Perú). La “puchka” es una técnica de hilado. Esta técnica, en su ejecución y aplicación, permite desarrollar la coordinación óculo-manual en los niños y niñas. La realización de ciertos ejercicios y movimientos psicomotoras finos, hacen que intervengan los ojos, manos, dedos y otros aspectos más en ciertos ejercicios de coordinación óculo manual que sirven para la iniciación de la pre escritura e instruir en el desarrollo cognitivo, habilidades, destrezas y otros. La “puchka” es un arte ancestral que los antiguos peruanos han pasado de generación en generación, permitiéndoles hacer hermosos mantos y otras piezas de fascinante expresión cultural. El estudio es de tipo aplicada y el nivel descriptivo. El resultado demostró que, mediante el uso de la “puchka” como técnica, se llegó a mejorar el desarrollo óculo manual en los niños, tal como lo plantea la hipótesis principal del proyecto. Los resultados pueden ser usados por los docentes de las Instituciones Educativas del nivel inicial en la realización de sus actividades relacionados con el desarrollo de la coordinación óculo manual, ya que favorecerá, además, el desarrollo de la escritura, de los trazos, moldeos, pintado, etc. Otro aspecto que deben tomar en cuenta es que ayuda a mejorar la atención preescolar, al ser una técnica más apropiada, ya que es parte de nuestro medio socio cultural.
