Elevens læring og udvikling handler om, hvordan man skaber fællesskaber og leder læreprocesser, og om, hvilke kompetencer læreren må have for at bidrage til elevernes læring og udvikling i sociale relationer. Bogen indeholder otte kapitler om elevens læring og udvikling: Læring Udvikling Relationer Klasseledelse Kommunikation og samarbejde Vejledning Konflikt Inklusion Kapitlerne er alle fulgt op af studiespørgsmål og opgaveforslag, som giver anledning til, at de studerende tænker teori og praksis sammen med henblik på handling.

Bogen henvender sig til undervisere, studerende, ledere og forskere, der arbejder med unges uddannelse og læring, og til de politikere og beslutningstagere, der skaber rammerne for arbejdet med de unge. Bogen stiller skarpt på unges motivation for læring og uddannelse i lyset af de brydninger og forandringer, der præger samfundet, uddannelsesverdenen og ungdomslivet. I bogen fortæller 12 eksperter om motivationens udfordringer og præsenterer centrale begreber, man kan forstå motivation og læring igennem. De formulerer også en række anbefalinger til arbejdet med at skabe motivation for læring og uddannelse blandt unge. Denne udgave af Unges motivation og læring har undergået en del forandringer i forhold til 1. udgave: Sammenhængen mellem læring, motivation og undervisning er blevet stærkere pointeret, en del af de danske interview er udgået, og i stedet indgår flere interview med forskere fra andre nordeuropæiske lande for at tegne et mere nuanceret billede. Flere af disse forskere befinder sig i uddannelses- og ungdomsforskningens superliga, og selv om deres tankegods er velkendt for mange, fører de dem i bogen ind i motivationsfeltet og føjer nye indsigter til dette. Bogen er redigeret af Noemi Katznelson, Niels Ulrik Sørensen og Knud Illeris. Den udspringer af Center for Ungdomsforsknings forskningsprojekt ”Unges lyst til læring”, der er støttet af Egmont Fonden.

Med 16 af sine centrale artikler fra de seneste år afrunder professor Knud Illeris med denne bog sit mere end 50 år lange forfatterskab om uddannelse, undervisning og læring.Artiklernes emner spænder fra læringsformer og ikkelæring i forskellige sammenhænge og med forskellige anvendelsesmuligheder til en uddybelse af den overordnede og helhedsbetonede læringsforståelse, som i de seneste årtier har gjort Illeris til en internationalt anerkendt læringsteoretiker.Bogens artikler er fortrinsvis oversat fra internationale publikationer og danner et udvalg af forfatterskabets mest centrale pointer, samtidig med at de udgør et væsentligt supplement til forfatterens helhedsmæssige præsentation af hans velkendte læringsforståelse, som den kommer til udtryk i bogen Læring.

Through interviews with a selection of the most qualified and well-reputed Northern European researchers, Understanding Learning and Motivation in Youth explores, and offers a range of solutions to, one of the central problems in modern education: motivation for learning.The way that teaching is currently delivered to students aged 11–19 often does not support positive learning; the ongoing encouragement to produce as much competence as possible at the lowest possible costs elicits critical conditions for learning processes, endangering not only the motivation of students, but also the engagement and motivation of teachers themselves. This book examines how this can be handled in practice by teachers and educators, drawing on the perspectives of carefully selected experts to provide an introduction to the debates surrounding neoliberal education, as well as a means to counteract the damages in their everyday teaching and activities.With an original and accessible format and a unique insight into the thoughts of a select group of academics, Understanding Learning and Motivation is essential reading for students, researchers and academics studying the effects of neoliberal education, as well as practicing teachers and educational leaders who are attempting to combat the problem.

In the World Library of Educationalists, international experts themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands and see how their work contributes to the development of the field. This volume brings together the selected works of Knud Illeris.Leaving a promising business career at age 27 to begin his higher education, Knud Illeris exemplifies the true spirit of youth and adult education that has resulted in him having published in almost twenty countries, including the UK, Germany, China, Korea and Brazil. Knud Illeris’ work revolves around the way learning takes place and in some cases does not take palce. Split into five parts; Learning Theory, Lifelong Learning as a Psychological Process, Special Learning Issues, Various Learning Approaches to Education, Learning in Working Life, Learning, Development and Education: From learning theory to education and practice is arranged thematically and examines youth and adult learning through Illeris’ model based on three dimensions of learning and competence development– emotional, cognitive and social, and four kinds of learning.In this collection of his papers, written over a period of almost five decades, and published in multiple languages, spanning from Faroese to Chinese, some of his most important works are chronicled. This compelling overview of Illeris’ contribution to educational thinking and theory charts the challenges and obstacles faced by disciplination and selection, and offers a genuine impression and understanding of an almost lifelong engagement with a wide range of topics in the field of learning – an engagement which has been the central area of Illeris’ academic life.

læring. behandler de grundlæggende spørgsmål om læringens processer og strukturer, forskellige læringstyper og barrierer mod læring. Desuden inddrages en række emner, som er centrale i forhold til en dækkende læringsforståelse: læring i forhold til kropslighed, hjerneforskning, selvforståelse, motivation, intelligens, læringsstil, køn, livsalder, undervisningsformer, uddannelsespolitik og læring i arbejdslivet. Denne 3. udgave af læring. har, ud over en generel opdatering og nye henvisninger, fået vigtige, nye afsnit, der uddyber de områder, som Illeris har beskæftiget sig med i de seneste år: kompetencebegrebet, transformativ læring, identitet samt en kritik af konkurrencestatens læringsforståelse.Siden bogen blev udgivet første gang i 1999 har læring. været skelsættende og definerende for opfattelsen af læring, ikke blot i Danmark, men internationalt. Den forrige udgave er oversat til mere end ti sprog, og samlet har bogen solgt i over 100.000 eksemplarer.Om forfatteren:Knud Illeris har arbejdet med lærings- og uddannelsesforhold siden slutningen af 1960'erne, har været professor i uddannelsesforskning og med til at udvikle projektarbejdsformen ved Roskilde Universitetscenter, senere forskningsleder ved Learning Lab Denmark og professor i livslang læring ved Danmarks Pædagogiske Universitet.

Vi lever i ett kunskaps- och informationssamhälle där lärande är centralt både för den enskilda individen och för samhället. Lärande är en engagerande och kunskapsrik introduktion till både den traditionella och den allra senaste lärandeforskningen. Den täcker in en rad ämnen av central betydelse för en helhetsförståelse: lärandets förhållande till kroppslighet, självuppfattning, motivation, kompetens utveckling, intelligens, lärstil, kön, livsålder, den moderna hjärnforskningen, undervisningsformer och utbildningspolitik samt skollärande, internetlärande och lärande i arbetslivet.Den tredje upplagan är uppdaterad med hänsyn till den senaste forskningen på fältet. Lärande innehåller även fördjupade resonemang kring kompetensbegreppet, transformativt lärande, identitet och identitetsutveckling samt konkurrensstatens omfattande förändringar av ramarna för utbildning och lärande. Boken vänder sig till studenter i pedagogik och inom lärarutbildning samt verksamma lärare och skolledare i kompetensutveckling.

In the current ever changing world – the liquid modernity – the most pressing psychological challenge to all of us is to create and maintain a personal balance between mental stability and mental flexibility. In Transformative Learning and Identity Knud Illeris, one of the leading thinkers on the way people learn, explores, updates and re-defines the concept and understanding of transformative learning while linking the concept of transformative learning to the concept of identity. He thoroughly discusses what transformative learning is or could be in a broader learning theoretical perspective, including various concepts of learning by change, as opposed to learning by addition, and ends up with a new, short and distinct definition. He also explores and discusses the concept of identity and presents a general model depicting the complexity of identities today. Building on the work of Mezirow, various perspectives of transformative learning are analysed and discussed, including; transformative learning in different life ages; progressive and regressive transformations; motivation and identity defence; development of identity; personality and competence, and transformative learning in school, education, working life, and in relation to current and future life conditions.This vital new book by one of the leading learning theorists of our time will prove of lasting interest to academics, teachers, instructors, leaders and researchers in the field of adult learning and education. It will also appeal to many students and researchers of psychology and sociology in general.

Transformativ læring omfatter al læring, der indebærer ændringer i den lærendes identitet. Så enkelt definerer Knud Illeris i denne bog det begreb, der i de senere år er blevet et hit indenfor moderne læringsforståelse. Samtidig leverer han i sin sædvanlige veloplagte kritisk-konstruktive stil en dækkende udfoldelse af begreberne om transformativ læring og identitet, deres indbyrdes sammenhæng, og hvad deres sammenkobling kan føre til på en række centrale praktiske og teoretiske områder inden for uddannelserne, arbejdslivet og samfundslivet i det hele taget.

Vad är kompetens? Kompetens är ett viktigt begrepp inom både utbildning och arbetsliv. I den här boken finns en grundlig och klargörande genomgång av vad som kan ingå, både traditionella kategorier och sådana som kommer från ett utvidgat kompetensbegrepp.Varför är användningen av kompetensbegreppet så utbredd? Därför att det mycket bättre än kunskap, kvalifikationer och utbildning lyfter fram det som liv och arbete i det moderna samhället fordrar.Hur utvecklas kompetens? Det handlar inte om en viss metod. Författaren presenterar de centrala element som gör kompetensutveckling möjlig.Kompetens. Vad, varför, hur? är en nödvändig bok för alla som arbetar inom skola, utbildning och organisationsutveckling.

Boken tar opp de grunnleggende spørsmål om læringens prosesser og dimensjoner, forskjellige læringstyper og hinder for læring.Videre omtales emner som er sentrale for en helhetlig læringsforståelse, blant annet hjerneforskning, selvforståelse, motivasjon, kompetanseutvikling, intelligens, læringsstil, kjønn, alder, undervisningsformer, nettbasert læring og læring i arbeidslivet.Læring kom første gang ut på dansk i 2006 og foreligger nå i norsk utgave.

Hvad er kompetence? I de senere år er kompetencebegrebet blevet centralt inden for uddannelse og ledelse, men det er stadig uklart, hvad begrebet dækker over. Knud Illeris gennemgår i denne bog omhyggeligt, hvad der ligger i begrebet, og udvikler herigennem det ordinære og det udvidede kompetencebegreb, der tilsammen grafisk illustreres ved hjælp af kompetenceblomsten. Hvorfor er kompetencebegrebet så udbredt? Fordi det langt bedre end f.eks. viden, kvalifikationer og dannelse fokuserer på, hvad der skal til for at håndtere både tilværelsen og arbejdslivet i det moderne samfund. Kompetence er potentialet til at handle hensigtsmæssigt såvel i kendte som i nye og uforudsigelige situationer. Hvordan udvikles kompetence? Hvis læring skal have karakter af kompetenceudvikling, må processen have nogle særlige kvaliteter. Dette drejer sig ikke om at anvende bestemte metoder, men om selve læringsgrundlaget. Illeris diskuterer desuden de centrale problemer omkring kompetencemåling. Kompetence - hvad, hvorfor, hvordan er en kortfattet og let tilgængelig redegørelse for kompetencebegrebet og dets konsekvenser og udfordringer. En nødvendig bog for alle, der beskæftiger sig med skole, uddannelse og management.
