Dieses Buch trägt dazu bei, die sozialen Mechanismen des "Bedürfnisses nach Zugehörigkeit" bei Schüler*innen in Schulkontexten zu erklären. Der theoretische Rahmen basiert auf einem Verständnis von Bedürfnissen als kognitive Mechanismen neuronaler Prozesse, die menschliches Verhalten und Körperwerte regulieren. Die Feldforschung wurde in zwei Sekundarschulen in Österreich und Australien durchgeführt. Handlungsleitlinien, die Schüler*innen dabei helfen sollen, sich zugehörig zu fühlen, werden von den Ergebnissen abgeleitet Analysis Bedürfnistheorie belonging children's rights content analysis focus group interviews Fokusgruppeninterviews human needs theory Inhaltsanalyse international social work internationale Soziale Arbeit Kinderrechte qualitative Methodologie qualitative methodology realism Realismus systemism Systemismus Tripelmandat triple mandate Zugehörigkeit Notes "Budrich Academic Press" Audience Lecturers and researchers in Social Work and Educational Science, social workers Notes Sharon du Plessis-Schneider, MSW, is a lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences Vorarlberg in Dornbirn, Austria Vendor-supplied metadata Subject Belonging (Social psychology) in children -- Austria Belonging (Social psychology) in children -- Australia Education, Secondary -- Austria -- Psychological aspects Education, Secondary -- Australia -- Psychological aspects Belonging (Social psychology) in children Education, Secondary -- Psychological aspects Australia Austria Form Electronic book ISBN 9783966659420 3966659425
