When the ECLAS Conference took place in 1972 western societies were undergoing profound change: They transformed from industrial to postindustrial societies – the so-called service societies. 50 years later, the knowledge society is emerging: Knowledge is considered the key resource of this era. Digitalization and widespread dissemination of ICT allow information to be obtained anywhere anytime. This has severe implications for individual lifestyles and everyday practices. Different aspects of living, learning and working are no longer bound to physical limitations but can be enhanced by or even transferred to the virtual space. So being on the move today means travelling in hybrid spaces. We call this the space and practice “en route”.
At the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück we explore the following questions:
What does “en route” mean and look like in landscapes of higher education?
How is it perceived individually?
(How) can landscape architecture shape it?
Our transdisciplinary research project EN ROUTE aims to meet current challenges at universities (e.g. digitalisation, sustainable development) with a comprehensive understanding of space and practices “en route”. In a transdisciplinary process, researchers from various disciplines – landscape architecture, geography, urban planning, business administrations and marketing, energy technology and computer science – develop concepts and strategies for sustainable and digital mobility in the higher education sector. New “EN ROUTE” types provide insights into the individual production and utilization of spaces “en route”.
The campuses of the University of Applied Science Osnabrück as well as the virtual and physical space network of its members serve as research example. Initial findings will be presented at the conference. While the ECLAS conference in 1972 focused on physical scales, landscape architecture has to reflect them critically and ask: What could be an innovative understanding of spaces “en route”?
Purpose
In a knowledge-based society, one of the main driving forces of prosperity at city and regional levels is the ability to attract students and recently qualified graduates. The purpose of this paper is to identify the urban factors that contribute to “attractiveness” from a student perspective and to subsequently analyse the influence of these factors on students’ location choices. In the corresponding case study, the criteria identified were used to evaluate student satisfaction with the German city of Osnabrück.
Design/methodology/approach
A multi-level empirical research concept was used to analyse the relevant criteria. Focus group discussions served as the basis to design and conduct a survey of almost 2,300 students in the university city of Osnabrück at the end of 2016. A follow-up study in November 2017 at two universities in Berlin provided data for comparison.
Findings
Accessible – safe – clean and with affordable housing: these terms sum up the core expectations that students have of an attractive city. In contrast to the findings of Richard Florida regarding the creative class, cultural opportunities, exciting nightlife and a multicultural population were not important factors among the survey participants.
Research limitations/implications
As the study was conducted in two cities only, the findings cannot be generalised. It should be replicated in at least five other cities to validate and compare the research findings presented here. Furthermore, this study focused on the factors influencing the attractiveness of the city as a whole. However, the attractiveness of a specific neighbourhood may be of greater relevance to the decision-making process. As housing plays a major role, students’ particular needs with regard to accommodation should also be examined at greater depth.
Practical implications
Insights generated by the empirical study provide relevant information that may assist city stakeholders in taking effective measures regarding place management to attract and retain students.
Originality/value
To date, little research has been undertaken to empirically examine the specific factors that German students look for when deciding where to study and live. The goal of this paper is to present new empirical insights concerning the quality-of-life factors that influence students’ decision-making processes.
Die alltägliche pädagogische Praxis von Grundschulen hat sich durch die Implementierung unterschiedlicher multiprofessioneller Kooperationsprozesse maßgeblich geändert (vgl. Beck & Maykus 2016, S. 148f.). So kooperieren laut Thieme (2019) seit dem Ausbau von ganztägig-inklusiven Schulsettings zunehmend auch Lehrkräfte und sozialpädagogische Fachkräfte unterschiedlicher Fachbereiche und Institutionen (vgl. Thieme, 2019, S. 247). Die Schulsozialarbeit an Grundschulen ist dabei ein sozialpädagogisches Arbeitsfeld, welches als Schnittstelle zwischen verschiedenen pädagogischen Berufsgruppen gilt (vgl. Thimm 2017, S. 108) und dem der Vernetzungs- und Kooperationsgedanken als Leitmotiv (sozial-)pädagogischer Praxis inhärent ist. Vor allem die Kooperation zwischen den Lehrkräften und der Schulsozialarbeit ist dabei an bestimmte Voraussetzungen geknüpft. Das BMBF-geförderte Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekt „Qualifizierungsmodule für die interprofessionelle Kooperation in inklusiven Grundschulen – Entwicklung und Evaluation des Manuals InproKiG“ (kurz: InproKiG) hat mit unterschiedlichen Erhebungsinstrumenten u.a. diese Voraussetzungen und Herausforderungen in der alltäglichen Kooperationspraxis näher analysiert. Der Beitrag stellt Ergebnisse einer quantitativen Erhebung zum Stand der Kooperation und zu Kooperationsbedarfen von Grundschulteams vor, welche in den Jahren 2018 und 2019 an Grundschulen in Hannover, Osnabrück und Gießen durchgeführt wurde. In Einzelanalysen werden vor diesem Hintergrund vertiefend die Perspektiven von Fachkräften der Schulsozialarbeit und ihre Erfahrungen interprofessioneller Kooperation untersucht.
This article is based on an international comparative social policy module held annually at Malmö University (Sweden) with partner universities from several countries. Our study examines the results of intra- and interpersonal dynamics among participants and lecturers, which we call "productive tension", in relation to overarching questions about knowledge acquisition and the importance of reflexivity and reflectivity in the learning process. Students and faculty create a "community of practice" (CoP) (Lave & Wenger 1991) that benefits from a continuous interactive environment and direct engagement. Our study uses a mixed method approach. The analysis considers qualitative data from interviews with the participating students and quantitative data from questionnaires. In this article, we focus on the productive tension inherent in the reflective and reflexive processes. Reflective and reflexive processes are identified that influence the students' experience of cross-border cooperation and their professional identity. Our study also demonstrates how the knowledge about "Social Work" as a profession can be broadened through international comparative teaching and learning. The main conclusion of this work is that reflective and reflexive learning processes in social work education enable participants to see and understand themselves from a broader perspective and strengthen their own professional identity.
Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit befasst sich mit den Auswirkungen der Covid-19-Pandemie in Familien. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Familienleben, sowie auf der Zufriedenheit und dem Wohlbefinden von Eltern mit Sorgeverantwortung. Ebenfalls wurde beleuchtet, ob in der Covid-19-Pandemie in den Familien auch psychische und physische Folgen entstanden sind. Insbesondere das Belastungserleben von Eltern mit Sorgeverantwortung wurde in einer quantitativen Befragung im Juni 2021 mit der Forschungsfrage: „Wie wirken sich Maßnahmen der Coronaschutzverordnung auf Eltern mit Sorgeverantwortung aus?“ untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass während des Lockdowns ein hohes Belastungserleben der Eltern mit Sor- geverantwortung durch die Übernahme der Kinderbetreuung und durch das Fehlen der sozialen Kontakte entstand. Als gesundheitliche Folgen ging damit ein hohes Stresserleben und Erschöpfungsgefühl einher und ließ sich auf die Coronamaßnahmen zurückführen.
Auf diese Ergebnisse sollte die Soziale Arbeit reagieren und ihre Arbeitsprozesse anpassen. Hieraus ergeben sich klare Handlungsempfehlungen an die Familienpolitik, damit Eltern mit Sorgeverantwortung eine gelingende Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf auch in Pandemiezeiten möglich ist.
