Handbuch Ethik für Pädagogen: Grundlagen und Praxis

In the ongoing education debate, it is important for all involved to become clear and understand their goals. Thomas Kesselring makes a decisive contribution to this. His manual is so clearly divided into two clearly separate parts by an understandable language, clear tables and a unique structure that the reader quickly sees through complex facts. The first part discusses the basic concepts of ethics as well as the concept of freedom, virtue and justice, the further chapters apply to the development of moral judgment, the role of ethics in cooperation and competitive contexts, human rights in modern society, and the alternative between universalist and relativistic attitudes in ethics. The second part is about the concept of education, justice in sanctions, student assessment as well as access to higher education, children's emotional development, children's rights, and ethical issues of a multicultural school. The twelve chapters of the first and second parts are directly related to each other, so the reader can always look up the ethical basics first for a certain partial aspect and then find out about the practical effects on pedagogy in the corresponding chapter.
