  • Global Learning in Austria: Towards a National Strategy and Beyond
    Global Learning in Austria: Towards a National Strategy and Beyond Neda Forghani-Arani University of Vienna (Austria) Helmuth Hartmeyer Global Education Network Europe and University of Vienna (Austria) Abstract This paper discusses the development of Global Learning in Austria, paying special attention to the process and outcome of the major undertaking of developing a national strategy.The first part of the paper provides a descriptive outline of the contextual development, while the second part conjoins the description of the process of strategy development with policy discourse analysis to ask how the idea of a pedagogical response to globalisation affects policy and how engaging with policy affects that idea. The concept of Global Learning as defined in the strategy document is examined in its orientation and intent using a conceptual framework that highlights differing approaches to global citizenship education, in an attempt to situate the Strategy’s conceptual approach in the broader international discourse. Keywords: Global Learning, global education, Austria, formal education, policy discourse analysis Introduction The history and development of Global Learning1 in Austria is diverse and complex. The term ‘Global Learning’ was first used in discussions on education in the early 1990s; its conceptual roots, however, go back several decades. From the outset, far- reaching international influences have shaped the discourse on the conceptual orientation of Global Learning in Austria. Today, many actors with various orienta- tions and approaches are active in the field. The conceptual and institutional development of Global Learning in Austria has been documented, described and examined in recent years (Hartmeyer, 2008; Forghani-Arani and Hartmeyer, 2008).

  • Innovative Learning Environments (ILE)
    Directorate for Education Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI), OECD Innovative Learning Environments (ILE) INVENTORY CASE STUDY New Secondary School Europaschule Linz Austria This secondary school is a pilot school affiliated with a university college of teacher education, and functions both as a centre for practical in-school training of teacher- students and as a school with the objective to offer (and empirically investigate) ideal learning conditions. The school has an emphasis on language learning and international contacts, but students can also choose a science, artistic or media focus. Students learn in flexible heterogeneous groupings, some of which are integrative. Teaching activities aim at ability differentiation and include open teaching during which students work with weekly work schedules. Individual feedback on performance and student behaviour is given in the form of portfolios which include teacher reports and student self-assessments. Based on the feedback, students can prepare a remedial instruction and resources plan with the objective that learning becomes self-managed and intrinsically motivated. This Innovative Learning Environment case study has been prepared specifically for the OECD/ILE project. Research has been undertaken by Ilse Schrittesser and Sabine Gerhartz from the University of Innsbruck under the supervision of Josef Neumueller from the Federal Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture of Austria, following the research guidelines of the ILE project. © OECD, 2012. ©Federal Ministry

  • In Austria: Progress Toward a Professional Model Or Status Quo?
    c e p s Journal | Vol.2 | No4 | Year 2012 91 The “New Doctorate” in Austria: Progress toward a Professional Model or Status Quo? Hans Pechar,*1 Gülay Ates2 and Lesley Andres3 • Until recently, both policy direction and public awareness of the Bologna Pro- cess has been focused almost unilaterally on the introduction of the Bachelor’s degree to European universities. This is understandable, as for most European countries, the Bachelor is a new academic degree. However, commencing with the Berlin Ministerial Conference (Realising the European Higher Education Area, 2003), reform of doctoral studies has been highlighted as a second equal pillar in the Bologna reform process. In this paper, we begin by providing an overview of the general policy background and the rationales that under- lie the attempts to restructure doctoral studies in Europe. Next, we focus on the specific situation in Austria, where peculiarities of the status quo collide with uniquely Austrian approaches to reforming doctoral education. Finally, through two case studies, we examine initial attempts – and related challenges – to implement the “New Doctorate” in Austria. Keywords: Bologna reform, doctoral studies, professional model, ap- prenticeship model, Austria 1 *Corresponding author.

For four decades the Purdue University Press series in Central European Studies has enriched our knowledge of the region by producing scholarly monographs, advanced surveys, and select collections of the highest quality. Since its founding, the series has been the only English-language series devoted primarily to the lands and peoples of the Habsburg Empire, its successor states, and those areas lying along its immediate periphery. Among its broad range of international scholars are several authors whose engagement in public policy reflects the pressing challenges that confront the successor states. Indeed, salient issues such as democratization,
