Social Goals in the Classroom is the first volume to comprehensively examine the variety of students’ non-academic goals and motivations within the classroom.

Each expertly written chapter defines and investigates a particular aspect of students’ social objectives before addressing related findings on academic performance, interpersonal outcomes, and directions for future research. Presented in three succinct and comprehensive parts, this book reviews, expands upon, and theoretically synthesizes current research on the many different social goals to offer readers a thorough understanding of non-academic desires and their consequences on learners’ educational experiences.

Situated in evidence-based theory as well as real-world contexts such as ethnicity, sexual orientation, and social media, this insightful collection—ideal for graduate students, teachers, and researchers—explores how students'' social motives influence their academic performance and peer relationships.

Peer Relationships in Classroom Management offers pragmatic, empirically validated guidance to teachers in training on issues pertaining to students’ interpersonal relationships. Concepts such as bullying, popularity, and online friendships are ubiquitous in today’s schools, but what kinds of scientific and pedagogical knowledge can support teachers navigating students’ complex lives? Using real-world examples and case studies, this book helps preservice educators to enhance their knowledge of classroom management by focusing on the interpersonal relationships in their schools. Each chapter includes an accessible approach to understanding the social motives in student’s peer interactions inside school, and how to best intervene when these social interactions become detrimental to learning or cause negative interpersonal interactions.

Die lange Reihe der Forschungen zu Text-Bild-Relationen in mittelalterlicher Dichtung wird in diesem Sammelband um stärker thematisch und poetologisch ausgerichtete Aspekte ergänzt: Zum einen wird Visuelles, wenn es als Gegenstand der Texte in den philologischen Blick gerät, in seiner sinnstiftenden Funktion für Einzeltexte ausgedeutet; dabei lassen sich bestimmte literarische Visualisierungsoptionen profilieren. Zum anderen werden Vorschläge zu einer Poetik des Visuellen formuliert, die der mittelalterlichen Literatur in spezifischer Weise eingeschrieben ist. Die Beiträge untersuchen das Spannungsfeld von Visualisierung und Wahrnehmung sowohl an höfischen Dichtungen als auch an religiösen Texten und machen so ein breites Panorama mittelalterlicher Literatur in ihrem Potential, Sehen zu inszenieren, sichtbar. Der Band versammelt Vorträge, die im Rahmen des 21. Anglo-German Colloquiums in London im Jahre 2009 gehalten wurden.
