Abstract

This book introduces a selection of examinations written for the First State Board Examination for prospective teachers. Former students of the editor, Dr. Gisela Steins, a professor for general psychology and social psychology, each summarized their final papers in essays. Most of the essays contain smaller empirical studies on the topic of school and gender. The two final contributions deal with the themes of body disaffection and the sensitization of school children toward processes of stigmatization using the example of obesity. Gisela Steins herself composed an introduction as well as short transitions between the articles. The students’ articles are for the most part interesting, although the question remains at to the book’s intended audience.
