In an era characterized by rapid technological advancements, economic shifts, and global challenges, it is crucial for universities to adapt their curricula to equip students with the skills necessary for the future. These skills, often referred to as "future skills," encompass a set of competencies that go beyond subject-specific knowledge and are essential for success in the evolving workforce and society. Future skills are accordingly a diverse set of competencies that enable individuals to navigate an increasingly complex world effectively. These skills-set includes the so-called digital literacy, which encompasses a range of skills, knowledge, and competencies that enable individuals to access, evaluate, create, and communicate information using digital tools (Ehlers 2020; Schüller et al.2019;).However, digital literacy as a future skill is increasingly the subject of debate, as the rapid spread of AI is raising the question for many universities as to which core skills students actually still need and what AI can do for them in terms of academic work (Wannemacher & Bodmann 2021). No one would have thought in the current fall of 2023 that we would find ChatGPT almost a normality and that there would be a multitude of similar AI´s by now. Jenny AI, Jasper or Copy AI are just a few examples of how scientific writing and scientific work are significantly influenced by AI today. For universities, this does not only pose problems with regard to authorship and author issues or plagiarism checks. On a didactic level, many university teachers feel that their role is being sensitively disturbed by AI-based writing tools. If technical questions can also be posed to the AI or technical discussions can be held with ChatGPT, who still needs the expertise of university lecturers? The paper takes up this, deliberately striking question, by critically analyzing the classical understanding of education at universities, especially at German universities. As a counterproposal, a co-constructive educational framework is introduced, which enables educators to change their role (Weimann-Sandig 2023b). The main difference between constructivism (Vygotskij 1964)and co-constructivism lies in the emphasis on the social element, i.e. a two-way teaching-learning relationship. While constructivism focuses on individual learning, co-constructivism emphasizes the importance of social interactions and the joint construction of knowledge in social contexts. In the coconstructivist concept, lecturers also become knowledge recipients and thus continue to educate themselves through the input of their students (Weimann-Sandig 2023b). This role change offers them the possibility of a fundamental further development of their understanding of teaching and makes them adaptable to the needs of the universities of the future. In a best practice example from our university development project BediRa, we provide didactic recommendations and exercises for teachers to face the new challenge of AI in teaching and try it out together with students.

In Deutsch-land fehlen Fachkräfte und qualifiziertes Personal, um Betreuungsbedarfe aufzufangen und Rechtsansprüche auf Betreuungsplätze zu gewährleis-ten. Die Tekit-Studie geht der Frage nach, ob pädagogisches Personal in Teilzeit ggf. Potenziale zur Stundenaufstockung besitzen. Sie liefert auf Basis einer Untersuchung in vier Bundesländern jedoch vor allem Er-kenntnisse über Motive und Beweggründe diese nicht aufzustocken, son-dern beizubehalten. Mögliche Potenziale fallen daher gering aus; viel-mehr geht es um die Sicherung der verbliebenen Stundenkontingente und die Vermeidung weiterer Abstockung, etwa über gesunde Arbeitsbedin-gungen.

Traditionally, the applied social sciences rely on highly discursive teaching methods that train their students' communicative and reflective competencies (Weinert 2001). Obviously, the exams respond to this-to date. To a large extent, students within the applied social science had to prove critical thinking, by writing thematic essays, showing their ability to create logical theory-practice reflections-to date. But how will the future of teaching an examining look like? In fact, Chat GPT a chatbot provided by Open AI, is described as a milestone of artificial intelligence. The software is able to write Wikipedia-entries as well as essays or even curricula. The better you formulate the order, the better the software will do and reach an appropriate level of academic writing. Opponents and critics of this new artificial intelligence claim the end of the traditional university system, at least in the fields of humanities and social sciences. The BediRa-Project (Building Reflexive Professionalism and Relationsships in Remote Teaching), located at the University of Applied Sciences for Social Work, Education and Nursing Dresden, introduces students as well as teachers to create new forms of digital relationships in remote teaching by creating a con-constructivist atmosphere (Weimann-Sandig 2022). In our paper we present a lecture called Digital Literacy and Academic Writing as well as our so-called BediRa-Lab where we are critically analyzing the effects of using artificial intelligence in academic teaching and writing. We will highlight the advantages and disadvantages of using Chat GTP in academic teaching scenarios. Additionally, we will present new ways of Critical Thinking discussing what artificial intelligence means to recent and future academic discourses.

Juli 2022 fand das Virtuelle Summer Barcamp „Building Bridges - Promoting Digital Relationships in the Study of Social Work, Education, and Health Care” im Rahmen des BediRa-Projektes an der ehs Dresden statt. Gegenstand des Virtual Summer Barcamps war das Ausloten von Möglichkeiten, Beziehungsarbeit im digitalen Raum innerhalb der Hochschullehre zu ermöglichen und zu gestalten. Im Sinne der Barcamp-Methode standen dabei der Erfahrungsaustausch, die Vernetzung verschiedener Hochschulakteur:innen sowie die Erprobung unterschiedlichster Methoden, didaktischer Herangehensweisen und Tools im Mit¬telpunkt. Die Motivation zur Veranstaltung des Barcamps war darin begründet, dass digitale und hybride Lehr-Lern-Arrangements, die die reflexive Professionalität in den Blick nehmen, erst am Anfang ihrer Entwicklung stehen. Gleichzeitig bedarf es – im Sinne des Mehrwertes digitaler Lehre – sehr zügig der Entwicklung und Diskussion von Konzepten für die Ausbildung entsprechender Kompetenzen bei Lehrenden und Studierenden. Das Virtual Summer Barcamp von BediRa verstand sich daher - mit einem Mix aus synchronen und asynchronen Formaten – als Rahmen für unterschiedlichste Ansätze. Von der ersten Idee über Initiativen, Konzepte und Strategien bis hin zu bereits veröffentlichten Forschungsergebnissen wurde zwei Tage lang rund um das Thema Beziehungsarbeit in der digitalen Hoch¬schul¬lehre gesprochen. Der Schwerpunkt lag dabei stets auf den sozialen, personenbezogenen Studiengängen. Um diese Diskussionen möglichst nachhaltig aufzubereiten, sowie die Themen Beziehungsarbeit und reflexive Professionalität im digitalen Raum vermehrt in den Köpfen von Hochschulakteuer:innen zu verankern, wurde zum Ende des Barcamps die Idee geboren, ein Herausgeberwerk mit Barcamp-Beiträgen zu initiieren. Dieses liegt nun vor. Die Besonderheit: alle Beiträge fokussieren auf digitale Lehr-Lern-Settings in sozialen, personenbezogenen Studiengängen. Dies stellt insofern ein Novum dar, als dass gerade diese Studienbereiche mit Blick auf digitale Settings an Hochschulen noch wenig reflektiert oder erforscht sind. Wir bedanken uns bei allen Autor:innen, die ihre spannenden Barcamp-Beiträge verschriftlicht haben.

Right from the start of the Covid-19 crisis, families were confronted with a host of entirely new challenges. Phases of general lockdown in Germany and repeat-ed quarantine periods brought family members into closer physical and organi-sational proximity. Questions on the compatibility of paid work and family care work attracted scrutiny from the beginning of the crisis. Lengthy periods of home schooling in Germany and a high infection rate here in the federal state of Saxo-ny compelled a large proportion of parents and children to repeatedly engage with the challenges entailed in organising learning at home for sustained peri-ods. German bodies concerned with child and youth welfare rightly called atten-tion to the increasing numbers of problematic situations that emerged as a re-sult and the intensity of conflicts associated with them in families that had al-ready been disadvantaged and under pressure before the pandemic. Valid em-pirical research results on the development of conflicts in families under the conditions of the pandemic were clearly urgently needed. The “KonFa” research project (“Conflicts in families during the Covid-19 pandemic”) accordingly aimed to contribute to closing this research gap, specifically by examining develop-ments in the state of Saxony.

Residenz-, Wechsel- oder Nestmodell? Und wie gelingt es, sich als Paar zu trennen, und doch gemeinsam Eltern zu bleiben? Die Familiensoziologin Nina Weimann-Sandig berät Mütter und Väter sachlich, mit viel Expertise und immer am Wohl des Kindes orientiert. Sie ermutigt dazu, Elternschaft auch nach der Trennung gleichberechtigt zu leben und Lasten fair zu teilen.

Research paper thumbnail of Erkenntnisse narrativer Landkarten zur Neustrukturierung der Entlohnung im Berufsfeld Kindertagesbetreuung – Entgeltbänder als Möglichkeit zur Vereinbarkeit tariflicher Vergütung und leistungsorientierter Entlohnungsmodelle

Forschungsfeld Kita, 2021

Flache Hierarchien und geringe berufliche Ausdifferenzie-rungen standen viele Jahrzehnte ebenso synonym für das Berufsfeld Kita wie eine mangelnde Professionalisierung. Dies hat sich gerade in den vergangenen zehn Jahren erheblich gewan-delt. Heute handelt es sich um ein Feld, welches konfrontiert ist mit gestiegenen Qualitätsan-sprüchen und einem zunehmenden Fachkräftemangel. Die fehlende Attraktivität des Berufs-feldes liegt dabei auch im Bereich der Entlohnung. Starre tarifliche Entgeltstufen und unfle-xible Einstufungspolitiken führen einerseits dazu, dass potentielle Bewerbende noch immer mit Skepsis auf das Berufsfeld blicken, andererseits behindern ausdifferenzierte Entloh-nungsmöglichkeiten auch die Qualitätsentwicklung des Feldes. Auf Basis narrativer Landkar-ten mit Fachkräften aus dem Feld der FBBE, wurden die Negativaspekte der gegenwärtigen Vergütungsregelungen analysiert sowie ein neues Modell entwickelt, welches moderne Prä-missen der Personal- und Organisationsentwicklung aufgreift und unter dem Vergütungs-instrument „Entgeltbänder“ subsumiert. In einem ersten Schritt wird eine Einführung in die Methode der narrativen Landkarten und ihre Anpassung auf die Forschungsfrage gegeben. Der Artikel beschäftigt sich weiterhin mit der Analyse der fehlenden Passungsfähigkeit ge-genwärtiger Vergütungsstrukturen und schlägt dann den Bogen zur Idee der Entgeltbänder. An Praxisbeispielen wird die exemplarische Ausgestaltung dieses neuen Vergütungsinstru-mentes nachgezeichnet, auch die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen für das Berufsfeld werden thematisiert.

Der Weg zum Gegenstand in der Kinder- und Jugendhilfeforschung Methodologische Herausforderungen für qualitative Zugänge, 2019

Gerade dieses Feld leidet derzeit unter einem Fachkräftemangel, der alleine durch originäre Ausbildungswege nicht zu kompensieren ist. Dementsprechend müssen neue Einmündungen in das Berufsfeld, beispielsweise über Quereinstiege, angestrebt werden. Die zentrale Absicht besteht darin, zu zeigen, dass die Biografieforschung trotz ihrer vermeintlichen Subjektzentrierung ei-nen interessanten und bedeutsamen Ansatz zur Herausarbeitung der Kontextabhängigkeit menschlicher Biografien liefern kann. Durch ein solches "biografisches Forschungspro-gramm" kann ein Erkenntnismehrwert gewonnen werden, der die Interdependenz mensch-licher Biografien von sozialen Veränderungsprozessen und vice versa deutlich macht. Die Thematik des beruflichen Quereinstiegs bietet sich als Forschungsfeld für eine Auseinander-setzung mit der Eignung qualitativer biografischer Methoden an, da es sich nicht nur um berufliche, sondern auch biografische Brüche handelt, die von den Betroffenen eben nicht nur die grundlegende Neuausrichtung ihrer Biografien, sondern gleichzeitig eine tiefgehende Auseinandersetzung mit gesellschaftlichen Veränderungsprozessen erfordern. Die These der Biografieforschung, dass das eine nicht ohne das andere stattfinden kann, wird in der Ausein-andersetzung mit dem beruflichen Quereinstieg noch einmal besonders deutlich. Gleichzeitig sollen jedoch im nachfolgenden Beitrag auch Voraussetzungen und Problematiken biografi-scher Interviews-sowohl für die Interviewenden als auch die Interviewten-reflektiert wer-den.

This article deals with the question if biographic interviews are an appropriate method to reconstruct the motives of lateral entrants in Child Day Care. The German Child Care System is currently facing a lack of skilled professionals, so lateral entries are one strategy to increase employment figures. Persons who think of lateral entries in Child Care do this because of a biographic life-turn-so the central thesis of this article. So their motives can be best reconstructed by using biographic interviews as an empirical method and biographic case reconstruction as a method of analysis. Nevertheless problems and challenges of dealing with biographic interviews should also be highlighted-both from the interviewers and interview-ees perspective.

In this context, the Barcamp addresses these questions from an interdisciplinary level, focusing on the "students as partners" approach. The Virtual Summer Barcamp considers itself as a place for exchanging experiences, connecting various university players, and testing different methods, didactic approaches and tools. By providing synchronous as well as asynchronous presentation possibilities, different discussion and exchange formats, the Barcamp therefore offers a broad variety of approaches-from initial ideas, initiatives, concepts and strategies to already published research results on the topic of relationship building in digital university teaching.
