Full Description
In her doctoral thesis, Mara Gerich makes an important contribution to research on the topic of teachers' counseling competence, particularly in the specific domain of parent-teacher talks with regard to the support of students' learning processes. The author gains insights that permit several implications for educational practice, particularly within the context of teacher preparation and continuing education. Parent counseling on the support of students' learning processes is emphasized as a central pedagogical task of teachers in international research on teacher professionalization and standards for teacher education.
