Sommario/riassunto

Demokratie wird auch im Alltag »gemacht«: in der Verteidigung oder Aufgabe persönlicher Freiheiten, im Zulassen von oder Aufbegehren gegen Ungerechtigkeiten, in Gesten des Sich-Einsetzens für andere. Doch wie werden Gleichheit, Freiheit und Solidarität dabei konkret verhandelt? Dieser Frage nehmen sich die Beiträger*innen des Bandes - ausgehend von dem gemeinsam mit Schüler*innen durchgeführten Forschungsprojekt »Making Democracy« - anhand von Praxisbeispielen aus Demokratietheorie, Pädagogik und Kunstvermittlung an. Sie geben einen multiperspektivischen Einblick in Methoden, theoretische Zugänge und die Komplexität von Projekten, die demokratische Aushandlungsräume im Bildungs- und Kunstkontext schaffen und verstehen wollen.

Demonstrates how anyone in math, science, and engineering can master DFT calculations Density functional theory (DFT) is one of the most frequently used computational tools for studying and predicting the properties of isolated molecules, bulk solids, and material interfaces, including surfaces. Although the theoretical underpinnings of DFT are quite complicated, this book demonstrates that the basic concepts underlying the calculations are simple enough to be understood by anyone with a background in chemistry, physics, engineering, or mathematics. The authors show how the widespread

Sommario/riassunto

This book focuses on the literacy beliefs and practices of parents and children from Asian and Latinx heritage backgrounds. In the US, children from Asian and Latinx immigrant backgrounds represent the largest population of dual language learners in schools. While existing research has paid significant attention to the roles of parenting and the home literacy environment on children's literacy development, relatively little attention has been allocated to immigrant families. Chapters aim to meet the need in the field to understand the roles of culture and immigrant experiences on children's literacy learning and development, including immigrant families' home environments and parents' involvement in literacy-related activities in both English and the parents' native language. As Hispanic/Latinx and Asian American populations grow in the US, this book answers an urgent call for school systems and child and family professionals to be aware of issues in this area and how to address them in culturally responsive ways.
