In Anlehnung an die Erfahrungen der Vignetten- und Anekdotenforschung https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vignetten-_und_Anekdotenforschung haben die Autorinnen eine Methodologie entwickelt, nach der ...zunächst merk-würdige Momente aus der pädagogischen Praxis sprachlich verdichtet und schriftlich festgehalten werden. Damit kann der Gehalt einer Wahrnehmung wie durch eine Lupe vergrößert einer professionalisierenden Auseinandersetzung zugänglich gemacht werden. Durch die aufmerksame Zuwendung und das teilhabende Wahrnehmen der Bedürfnisse und Lebenslagen der jeweils Betroffenen kann pädagogisches Handeln personenbezogen und situationsgemäß entfaltet und entwickelt werden. „Jeder einzelnen Person die wahrnehmende Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken und die daraus gewonnenen Erfahrungen zu reflektieren, ist die Intention der Wahrnehmungsvignetten-Methodologie.“ (Studien- und Arbeitsbuch, S. 9)
In a political and economic climate in which school performance is made public, performance tables and inspectors' reports can only tell a partial story. This is a unique book. It tells the story of ...one school seen through the eyes of a pupil, a parent, a teacher, a headteacher and a critical friend. The story is a compelling journey through the process of school improvement; theories of school effectiveness and school improvement are progressively clarified. This book is based on a well-known and well-documented research project that represents eighteen European countries, which clearly sets it in a European Policy context. It includes a wealth of practical tools for raising standards for teachers and school managers to refer to, and guidance on how to use them. This eagerly awaited follow-up to Schools Must Speak for Themselves by John MacBeath (RoutledgeFalmer 1999) is a vital and useful source of good ideas, challenging insights and practical strategies for real schools.
John MacBeath is Director of the Quality in Education Centre, University of Strathclyde, and author of the well received Schools Must Speak for Themselves for Routledge, Lars Bo Jakobsen works for the European Commission, Denis Meuret teaches at the University of Dijon and Michael Schratz teaches at the University of Innsbruck.

It covers the things that matter to pupils, teachers and parents, and its strength lies in its simplicity ...

Journal Article
Ein Band zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit Reformen „von oben“, der nicht – wie oft – in der Kritik am Status quo stehen bleibt, sondern Bewusstsein für ein paxisnahes Verständnis von Forschung ...schafft und konstruktive Beispiele dafür liefert, wie Bildungsreformen praxisnah Schulalltag von der Didaktik im Unterricht bis zur Schulentwicklung auf der organisationalen Ebene weiterentwickeln können.
Leaving one's own territory in research by taking part in an international project is like learning a new language: it's not just learning a new vocabulary and grammar, but is a total human ...experience which is best learnt in everyday activity. Social scientists like Jean Lave argued that 'knowledge-in-practice, constituted in the settings of practice, is the locus of the most powerful knowledgeability of people in the lived-in world'. Different scientific communities have culture-bound discourse norms, therefore, differences in discourse patterns sometimes operate as a barrier to the exchange of scholarship between two related cultures. 'In view of the importance of international communication between scholars, it is vital for scholars to understand the cultural basis of many discourse patterns.' This article gives an insight into how individuals and schools involved in an international project struggle to find new understandings of their own attempts at leadership and learning. Throughout the project the interconnectedness between places, rooms, areas and feelings during the journey of the 'Carpe Vitam: Leadership for Learning' project was a cooperative endeavour to extend and deepen the understanding of one's own theories and practices in relation to that of others, on both the individual and organizational levels. A collaboration of this kind can help in understanding the cultural bias of one's own research approach and that of the other cultures involved. The visual account is a narration of collegial development between educators from universitites and schools struggling for clarification, experience and evidence of leadership for learning.
