  abstract  = {Die hier vorliegende Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Erforschung von Lernprozessen in biographischen Zusammenh{\"a}ngen. Im Zentrum der Betrachtung stehen kritische Lebensereignisse als Impulsgeber. Konkret wird die Untersuchung an dem kritischen Lebensereignis ‚Nichtbestehen eines Assessment Centers (ACs) zur Zulassung einer F{\"u}hrungsaufgabe' durchgef{\"u}hrt. Ziel der Untersuchung ist es, herauszufinden, welche Lernprozesse bei unterschiedlichen Individuen in Folge des Nichtbestehens des ACs zu beobachten sind. Im Rahmen der Untersuchung stehen dabei drei unterschiedliche Analyseebenen im Fokus: die Einzelfallanalyse, die fall{\"u}bergreifende und die fallvergleichende Analyse. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus ist die Untersuchung in einem Paneldesign angelegt, um zus{\"a}tzlich einen Beitrag {\"u}ber die Ver{\"a}nderungen jener Lernprozesse im zeitlichen Verlauf leisten zu k{\"o}nnen. Im Rahmen der Datenerhebung sind daf{\"u}r zw{\"o}lf Interviews in der Panelwelle t1 und aufgrund der Panelmortalit{\"a}t elf Interviews in der Panelwelle t2 mit AC-Teilnehmer(inne)n, die das Verfahren nicht bestanden haben, gef{\"u}hrt worden. F{\"u}r alle drei Ebenen gilt, dass Lernprozesse sowohl auf mentaler als auch auf aktionaler Ebene eintreten und zudem im zeitlichen Verlauf und durch weitere (Lebens-) Ereignisse einer Ver{\"a}nderungsdynamik unterliegen.},

  abstract  = {The use of digital media by children and young people offers opportunities for communication, collaboration, and participation. However, to prepare them for the risks and challenges of media usage, promoting digital competencies of students and teachers is an indispensable goal for educational institutions. To meet this requirement, teacher education must be opened to innovative pedagogical concepts for initial teacher education that considers new technologies in a reflective, action-oriented way to promote competencies. Therefore, this work aims to promote the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) of prospective teachers that enables the purposeful integration of social virtual reality (social VR) into the classroom. Consequently, a pedagogical concept is developed and evaluated in an iterative research and development process following the design- based research approach (DBR) through four consecutive studies. The first study involved an analysis of the requirements of teachers and students for the effective use of social VR in the classroom. The second study examined how prospective teachers perceive teaching and learning activities within two theory-driven scenarios in social VR. The third study investigated the development of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) among students in social VR compared to video-based communication. Finally, the fourth study measured the development of TPACK in social VR using epistemic network analysis, finding that social VR can be an effective tool for teacher education, emphasizing the importance of authentic contexts and practical experiences for effective teaching in social VR. In the concluding chapter, appropriate implications for teacher education research and practice are derived from findings. For example, that a deeper understanding of TPACK as metacognitive awareness could enhance teacher education for media integration. It also highlights the need for digital literacy in seminars that address new technologies, emphasizing the importance of considering moral values and sustainability when using VR.},

  abstract  = {Diese Studie widmete sich dem Beitrag von Erwachsenenbildung zum Empowerment von Teilnehmenden. Ihr Empowerment zeigt sich darin, dass diese ihr Handeln st{\"a}rker selbst steuern und ihre pers{\"o}nliche Lebenswelt in h{\"o}herem Umfang selbst gestalten. Ausgehend von Diskursen im deutschsprachigen Raum wird untersucht, in welcher Weise Erwachsenenbildung das Empowerment von Frauen st{\"a}rken kann. Zur Gestaltung von Erwachsenenbildung z{\"a}hlen die Selbstreflexion der Mitarbeitenden, Zielgruppen- und Teilnehmendenorientierung, lebensweltorientierte Lerninhalte und didaktische Methoden sowie Gemeinschaft und Austausch. Aus gesellschaftskritischer Perspektive wird das Empowerment-Konzept in Individualisierungsprozessen und im Kontext sozialer Benachteiligung verortet. Damit stellt das Empowerment von Teilnehmenden einen Zwischenschritt von traditionell gepr{\"a}gter Erwachsenenbildung zum Paradigma Lebenslangen Lernens dar. Erwachsenenbildung erf{\"u}llt in diesem Verst{\"a}ndnis die gesellschaftliche Funktion, die Teilnehmenden zu st{\"a}rken, die durch einen sozialen Wandel verunsichert und {\"u}berfordert sein k{\"o}nnen. Der Studie beinhaltet eine empirische Erhebung in der indischen Erwachsenenbildung, in der dem Empowerment-Konzept eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit zukommt. Anhand von Expert/inn/en-Interviews mit Mitarbeitenden von Erwachsenenbildungseinrichtungen in Indien wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie Erwachsenenbildung gestaltet sein soll, damit sie zum Empowerment der Teilnehmenden beitragen kann. Die Interviewauswertung orientiert sich an der Qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse. Sie verschafft Erkenntnisse {\"u}ber die pers{\"o}nliche Lebenswelt von Frauen aus benachteiligten sozialen Gruppen, die an Erwachsenenbildung teilnehmen. Der Beitrag zum Empowerment der Teilnehmenden wird durch einen beziehungsstiftenden Kontext geleistet, der sich an der Lebenswelt der Teilnehmenden orientiert. Dieser erm{\"o}glicht diesen neue Beziehungserfahrungen. Zudem k{\"o}nnen sie sich Wissen und F{\"a}higkeiten aneignen und ihre Lebenswelt selbst gestalten. Teilnehmenden aus benachteiligten sozialen Gruppen erm{\"o}glicht dies, die gesellschaftlichen Anforderungen zur Selbststeuerung zu bew{\"a}ltigen, die in Individualisierungsprozessen an sie gerichtet werden.},

  abstract  = {Media have become omnipresent in children's and youths' everyday lives, and they also offer rich chances and challenges for educational contexts. On the one hand, media can, for example, support students' learning effectively, enhance lessons with innovative tools and methods and help individualize teaching and learning processes. On the other hand, students need to learn, e.g., how to use these media, how to select and evaluate them and how to act responsibly in a digitalized and mediatized world. Teachers are a core stakeholder in this context. To take advantage of the benefits media offer for teaching and learning processes, to support students in the acquisition of respective competencies and to fulfill numerous other media-related tasks and challenges, teachers need to acquire respective competencies in their initial teacher education, which can be summarized as media-related educational competencies. The relevance of these competencies is evident on different levels. In related research, respective competency models are developed, and in practices of teacher education, competencies are measured and efforts are taken to advance the competencies of preservice teachers. Against this background, this semi-cumulative dissertation presents a theory-based and empirical analysis of the competencies in question from a comprehensive and multidimensional perspective. In accordance with the central aspects outlined, the three systematic main fields focused on are models of media-related educational competencies, their measurement and practices of advancement in teacher education, as well as the interplay of these three fields. The dissertation takes on an international comparative perspective and focuses on the examples of initial teacher education in Germany and the USA. The article-based dissertation comprises three main parts, framed by introduction and conclusion. The introduction provides a basis for the following work with regards to terminology, scope of research and overall methodology. The first main part is concerned with models of media-related educational competencies and includes a theory-based systematic comparison of three relevant models. This part explicates the varieties between competency models, and it discusses central aspects of selection and application. In Part II, methods and varieties of competency measurement are focused on, and an article is presented which shares results of an exploratory quantitative measurement of the respective competencies of German and US preservice teachers. Overall, this part reveals the potential and limitations of competency measurement and transfers these conclusions to the competency models introduced in Part I. Part III is concerned with an analysis of current practices of advancing media-related educational competencies in Germany and the USA. In this context, stakeholders influencing these practices will be systemized and analyzed in their role and impact. The article included in Part III introduces interviews which were conducted to achieve insights into the perspectives of selected experts, regarding relevant models, practices and outcomes of media-related teacher education in Germany and the USA. Finally, the Conclusion of the dissertation will draw together the different strands, clarify the close connection between the domains of modeling, measuring and advancing the competencies in question and discuss the interdependencies of these three dimensions. These perspectives help both to contextualize and bring together important facets which have often been treated separately in related research and will add new facets to ultimately achieve a comprehensive and multifaceted viewpoint. Against the background of the intercultural comparative perspective, the results and findings will ultimately achieve an enhanced and deep analysis and reflection on the complex field of media-related educational competencies in Germany and the USA and beyond.},

Zur Bearbeitung der Forschungsfrage wurde eine qualitative Panelerhebung zu zwei Erhebungszeitpunkten durchgef{\"u}hrt. Basierend auf fokussierten Interviews wurde eine qualitative Inhaltsanalyse in Anlehnung an Gl{\"a}ser und Laudel sowie Kuckartz mit einem deduktiven-induktiven Vorgehen anhand eines 9-Schritte Plans angewandt. Lerntransfer kann unter anderem als eine Identifikation von Weiterentwicklungspotentialen in der Lehre, Ver{\"a}nderungen im Verhalten der Teilnehmenden sowie eine Reflexion der Lehre nach der Weiterbildungsteilnahme angesehen werden. In diesem Zusammenhang k{\"o}nnen die Lehre im Krankenhaus, die Eigenverantwortlichkeit in der Lehrgestaltung und der Handlungsmodus der {\"A}rzt*innen als beeinflussende Aspekte herausgearbeitet werden. Die Erkenntnisse dieser Arbeit k{\"o}nnen bei zuk{\"u}nftiger Ausgestaltung, Angebots- und Programmplanung ber{\"u}cksichtigt werden sowie dazu beitragen neues Wissen zu dem spezifischen Feld der medizindidaktischen Qualifizierungen und den Bedingungen der medizinischen Lehre zu generieren.},

  abstract  = {Academic education is seen as an important place for the development of professionalism of (future) adult educators. Since adult education academia, research, and practice is closely intertwined with global and international de- velopments, there is a need for adult education programmes to prepare their students for these interconnections. This can be examined in the context of international teaching and learning settings that integrate international, inter- cultural, or global perspectives into teaching and learning and are part of the internationalisation efforts of higher education. The focus of this international and comparative study is on how international teaching and learning settings contribute to the academic professionalisation in adult education in three mas- ter's programmes with a focus on adult education at the University of W{\"u}rzburg (Germany), University of Belgrade (Serbia) and University of Florence (Italy). International teaching and learning settings are examined on the structural and individual level of academic professionalisation. The aim is to explore the provision of international teaching and learning settings in the master's pro- grammes on the one hand, and to analyse the contribution of international teach- ing and learning settings to the development of students' professionalism on the other. For this purpose, three focus group interviews with programme heads, (academic) staff, and students as well as 22 guided interviews with graduates of the three master's programmes at the three university locations are collected and analysed in an international and comparative study design. The study reveals similarities and differences in the forms, framework con- ditions, and goals of international teaching and learning settings between the three master's programmes. Overarching contexts that guide the internationalisation of the master's programmes become apparent (e.g. education and higher education policy, internationalisation of the university, programme structure). The triangulation of the interview data of the graduates shows that the interna- tional environment, the structural arrangement, and the practical relevance of the international teaching and learning settings support the development of the graduates' professionalism. The results underline the relevance of international teaching and learning settings for the development of professionalism in adult education and point to the requirement for a systematic and comprehensive in- ternationalisation of adult education programmes.},
