Education between Quality and Equity.

Overview & Synopsis

Papers read by three German educationalists at a workshop on "Education between Quality and Equity" are included in this document. The first, by Han Leo Reimann, is entitled "Simulated Reality: The Instructional Objectives within the Framework of Pedagogical Paper Plays." This paper describes a gaming method of simulating realistic planning and decision-making situations for adults. The second paper, by Lutz-Rainer Reuter, is "Migrants' Education as a Focus of the FRG Educational Policy between Quality and Equity." It outlines themes that have dominated West German educational policy since World War II and then focuses specifically on the education of migrants and the concept of intercultural education. Finally, the third paper, by Hans Ritscher, is called "A Concept of Basic Teaching Abilities." It discusses directions in teacher training that might be useful for developing a fundamental repertoire of skills and behaviors that enhance teacher performance beyond the level of competence in a special field or educational level.
