Chapter 7, “Child-Affirming Artifacts,” uses ideas from Vygotskian theory to describe the child-affirming artifacts that populated children’s homes. Some artifacts were widely distributed consumer products. Children interacted with toys and electronic games that dispensed praise. Children’s books and TV shows, marketed as promoting children’s self-esteem, featured characters who were celebrated for their achievements, individuality, inherent worth, and potential. Several children loved Blue’s Clues, a show whose star constantly praised its characters and audience. These consumer products instantiated the same self-enhancing practices that parents believed fostered children’s self-esteem, thereby amplifying the social imaginary. This chapter also describes personalized, handmade artifacts designed by the families to celebrate their children. Photos of the children and artwork by children were on display in every household, and some adults created original homages to their children, which prompted commentary and stories that extolled the children’s achievements and reminded them how much they were loved and cherished.

Abstract Background Ongoing developments in medical education recognize the move to curricula that support self-regulated learning processes, skills of thinking, and the ability to adapt and navigate uncertain situations as much as the knowledge base of learners. Difficulties encountered in pursuing this reform, especially for pharmacology, include the tendency of beginner learners not to ask higher-order questions and the potential incongruency between creating authentic spaces for self-directed learning and providing external expert guidance. We tested the feasibility of developing, implementing, and sustaining an innovative model of social pedagogy as a strategy to address these challenges. Methods Constructivism, communities of practice, and networked learning theory were selected as lenses for development of the model. Three hundred sixty-five first-year medical students participated between 2014 and 2018; they were introduced to pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics via 15 online modules that each included: learning objectives, a clinical vignette, teaching video, cumulative concept map, and small group wiki assignment. Five-person communities organized around the 15 wiki assignments were a key component where learners answered asynchronous, case-based questions that touched iteratively on Bloom’s cognitive taxonomy levels. The social pedagogy model’s wiki assignments were explored using abductive qualitative data analysis. Results Qualitative analysis revealed that learners acquired and applied a conceptual framework for approaching pharmacology as a discipline, and demonstrated adaptive mastery by evaluating and interacting competently with unfamiliar drug information. Learners and faculty acquired habits of self-directed assessment seeking and learner-centered coaching, respectively; specifically, the model taught learners to look outward to peers, faculty, and external sources of information for credible and constructive feedback, and that this feedback could be trusted as a basis to direct performance improvement. 82–94% of learners rated the social pedagogy-based curriculum valuable. Conclusions This social pedagogy model is agnostic with regard to pharmacology and type of health professional learner; therefore, we anticipate its benefits to be transferable to other disciplines.

Resumen: En la Educación Social, en el programa del Aula Permanente de Formación Abierta de la Universidad de Granada, no suele impartirse el análisis de obras literarias, desde la perspectiva de la Ciencia de la Filología. El análisis de novelas clásicas literarias puede ayudar a educar en la muerte, partiendo por el interés de la lectura y la reflexión crítica de la visión hacia lo leído y su aplicación práctica en la construcción de una nueva actitud y un nuevo modo de afrontar el tema de la muerte. En este artículo planteamos desde una visión interdisciplinar desde la Pedagogía Social y la Filología Hispánica un acercamiento hacia la muerte a través del análisis de la novela romántica Sab a través de la reflexión y la crítica a la libertad, al género y la muerte romántica en la sociedad decimonónica.Abstract: In the programme of the Opened Training at University of Granada, where the education would be given in the Death, there is not the habit of being given the analysis of literary works, from the perspective of the Philology Science.

In this article we propose a contribution to interdiscipline, constructed to departing the Social Pedagogy and Hispanic Philology an approximation to the Education in the Death through the analysis of text of the romantic novel Sab, as tool of reflection the freedom, the genre and the romantic death, in the nineteenth-century society.

The article analyzes the use of German professional social and pedagogical vocabulary in scientific, academic and practical spheres of activity in order to clarify the functioning of terminological units in these spheres. Due to the peculiarities of tasks facing different spheres of social pedagogy specialists’ activity, there was a certain linguistic differentiation in them. Terminological changes in the language of social pedagogy signal the phenomenon of certain concepts euphemisation and indicate the use of parallel paradigmatically different lexical meanings. Professional concepts define the process of narrow-branch terminology perception by the recipients and control their actions. Due to some arbitrary use of terms within the social and pedagogical professional language, there is sometimes a partial loss of the meaning of the concept caused by the lack of clear and formalized theoretical concepts in social pedagogy. Terminological units in the professional language of social pedagogy constantly correlate with theoretical concepts, in the pragmatic context of which they reveal their specific meaning. The issue of the scientific content of terminological units is connected with the dominance of certain social and pedagogical scientific schools and the imposition of their terminological apparatus on the whole field of knowledge. In recent decades, there has been a significant impact of economic processes on the German language of the social and pedagogical field, which leads to the active use of economic vocabulary in it.

Many young people in South America experience repeated conditions of economic, social, and cultural exclusion, with low rates of secondary school completion and high unemployment exposing them to social violence. Yet, they are also the driving force for change in the region; their creativity is a transformative power. This chapter proposes a pedagogical reflection on the learning process and on social and educational participation. Each young person’s individual experiences and the knowledge they acquire in institutions and diverse social contexts are a platform to develop cultural promotion opportunities that produce the conditions to build a future project. Social educators practice one of the social tie professions that help generate bonds with culture, institutions, and other people, whereas educational action relates each young person to common cultural heritage. Social pedagogy faces the challenge and responsibility of creating strategies and cultural transmission methods for all youth, becoming a political action that fosters equality.

A major challenge in contemporary welfare societies is the delivery of services affirming people’s expectations for their life standard, health and social care services. For decades, there has been a search to understand new ways of conceptualising social pedagogy as a field of practice, as a theory, and as a programme design and implementation. Despite the growing body of literature on social pedagogy, to date, little has been written on the subject of the unique complexities of social pedagogy knowledge expertise when bridging the supporting relationships between an individual and the social dimensions in his/her world. Based on research conducted in Northern Europe, particularly focusing on Denmark and Sweden, the aim of this special issue of International Journal of Papers of Social Pedagogy (PSP) on Contemporary Issues in Social Pedagogy in Northern Europe is to convey the central importance of social pedagogy for the study of vitality and diversity behind social pedagogy thought. The presented research projects in this special issue are, in their foundation, associated with a constructivist approach that views the body of knowledge development as an active and cooperative process of knowledge construction and its application in social pedagogy discipline. This article intends to provide a general perspective concerning the presence of various knowledge forms according to the search for, and implementation of, thinking and acting in a social pedagogy inspired way, and working under various conditions.
