Pädagogik/Psychologie für die sozialpädagogische Erstausbildung -

The classic with a new cover and modernized layout! This textbook provides fundamental insights and knowledge in the field of pedagogy/psychology for professional work as a childcare worker or social pedagogical assistant in various social pedagogical fields. The topics and content also prepare for further training as an educator. It covers all the content of the Bavarian curriculum for training as a childcare worker; this applies to both vocational schools and the social pedagogical seminar at technical academies. The book is applicable nationwide for childcare, social pedagogical assistance, and social assistance. The topics and content largely align with the competency-oriented qualification profile for training social pedagogical assistants at vocational schools (KMK 2020). The structure of the book is based on the learning field concept. Each chapter begins with a practical learning situation. Theoretical content in the information section repeatedly refers back to this learning situation, thus ideally linking theory and practice. At the same time, theoretical content is comprehensively and systematically addressed within the chapters, allowing students to gain insight into the subject's systematics. Summaries conclude each chapter and provide an overall overview, while the subsequent questions and suggestions at the end of the chapters, along with new thought-provoking prompts, enable the application and deepening of learning content. What’s new in the 6th edition? The chapters "The Current Image of the Child" and "The Nature of Education" have been merged, restructured, and expanded to include the aspects of "Professional Self-Understanding" and "Important Professional Competencies of a Childcare Worker." A new element is now the "Thought Provocation." Quotes, opinions, or questions encourage reflection here.
