The O-TAPSE study deals with the question to what extent the sustainable development goals (SDGs) formulated by the UN (2015) are addressed in the latest online tasks for primary science education. The tasks of three online platforms were evaluated by four primary school teachers with regard to the occurrence of content on the SDGs. The results of the study and their analysis show a clear need for action to further implement these contents in online tasks. [less ▲]

This paper investigates seven early education practitioners’ attitudes towards multilingual activities and translanguaging as well as their actual practices in Luxembourg. They took part in a professional development comprising a course, coaching, and regular meetings to deepen their understanding of multilingualism and language learning, and enable them to implement activities in multiple languages. The findings, drawn from questionnaires, observations, and interviews, show that all practitioners opened up towards multilingual activities and translanguaging, increased activities in such languages, and translanguaged frequently. The practitioners analyzed their beliefs and practices, connected theory and practice, constructed new knowledge, developed positive attitudes and changed their practice. This study is the first one to investigate the attitudes and practices of professionals in formal and non-formal education settings as well as the effect of professional development in Luxembourg. It also addresses the research gap regarding professional development on multilingualism in early childhood. [less ▲]

This article deals with the development of quality criteriaof inclusive teaching materials in mathematics. As part of an international comparative research design, group discussions were held with primary school math teachers. After analyzing the content of the group discussions there were sixcriteria that characterize inclusive teaching material in mathematics, including the structure of the material, individualization, collaborativelearning, conceptualization e.g. with regard to principles of mathematical education, mathematical task culture and metacognitive support. The findings presented in the form of the criteria catalogprovide new impulses for teacher trainings and the development of inclusive teaching material. [less ▲]

Assessment of the 2020 National Reform Programme

From the perspective of primary, secondary and higher education, the 2020 NRP focuses on the two objectives (1) dropping out of school with a target rate under 10% and (2) higher education with a target ... [more ▼]

From the perspective of primary, secondary and higher education, the 2020 NRP focuses on the two objectives (1) dropping out of school with a target rate under 10% and (2) higher education with a target rate of people between 30 and 34 years of age having a HE qualification reaches 66%. At first glance, both of these target rates may not appear ambitious enough, since similar results have already been achieved in previous years (e.g., 9.3% ESL rate in 2015; see section 2.0). Nevertheless, in view of the specific situation of Luxembourg, which has the highest proportion of foreigners in the European Union, the rates described in the 2020 NRP appear appropriate. In order to achieve the objectives of the 2020 NRP on the ESL rate and the HE rate, the considerations formulated on lifelong learning appear to be of particular importance. [less ▲]

Political Correctness (PC) has been mainly discussed in the focus of language so far; this paper widens the viewpoint by the dimension of PC in the context of language and pictures. PC should activate pupils to reflect human images linguistically and visually. Language and pictures as powerful instruments of representations can contribute to the inclusion or exclusion of people. With increasing heterogeneity and diversity, school has a particular responsibility to support children and youths in their development to self-critical citizens and to prepare them for social interaction with the 'other'. This paper asks which constructive moments for the questioning of ambiguities and which opportunities but also limitations primary and secondary schoolbooks for natural sciences and ethics comprise for reflection of PC in focus of recognition and participation. Along examples of language and pictures, it will be shown how the medium schoolbook activates pupils to reflect and articulate about oneself and about the 'other' focusing on recognition. [less ▲]
