“…In the Galapagos Islands the COVID-19 pandemic therefore had a comparatively more severe effect on the online education of children from disadvantaged families. Just as intersectionality seeks to understand inequality from the convergence of the different axes of a person's identity, such as race, gender, age and disability (Gross et al. , 2016), so phenomena such as COVID-19 have differing impacts and effects on members of society according to their social context.…”

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic caused schools across the world to close their physical facilities and switch from face-to-face classes to remote learning. This research investigates the consequences of school closures during the pandemic on families and children from marginalized sections of society. The setting of the Galapagos Islands is characterized by poor Internet access and performance, resulting in a detrimental effect on the education of students from vulnerable sectors of society.Design/methodology/approachUsing data from an empirical context, this case study seeks to enhance statistical results from a provincial level household survey with quantitative information from participatory development planning workshops and plans.FindingsStatistical analysis evidences the compound effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the more vulnerable families living in the Galapagos. Both economic wellbeing and children's ability to attend classes online during school closures were linked to respondents' education levels. Participatory development planning workshops highlighted further inequality, and the plans resultant from the process sought to overcome challenges and address needs by contextualizing education for sustainable island living.Originality/valueThis case study emphasizes the impact of school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable sectors of society. In the Galapagos Islands, the response to the compound effect of the pandemic and the other situational challenges has been to contextualize the educational curriculum towards the goal of sustainable living. The lessons learned from this experience will be applicable to other remote island groups.

“…To consider this heterogeneity within categories may help to study the mechanisms behind educational inequalities in more detail and to come up with more targeted and more efficient measures. Following contemporary approaches such as the intersectionality approach (Crenshaw, 1991; Gross et al, 2016a), it appears to be meaningful to consider inequalities at the intersection of axes of inequality such as social origin and gender and to take into account the diversity within these social groups and the interdependencies between certain axes of inequality. Some classic studies have already considered intersectionalities implicitly—such as Dahrendorf (1965), who revealed the Catholic working-class girl originating from a rural area as being most disadvantaged regarding educational attainment in Germany, or Willis (1977), who analyzed working-class boys in Britain as a risk group in the education system.…”

This is the third and final of multiple themed issues of International Journal of Comparative Sociology ( IJCS) dedicated to the question of how education systems shape educational inequalities in terms of systematic variations access to and uptake of education along certain axes of inequality such as social origin, gender, and immigrant background. While the previous introductions dealt with the research program, conceptual background, and methodological challenges in the study of the link between institutional characteristics of education systems and educational inequalities (Introduction I) as well as with the state-of-research (Introduction II), this third and final introduction is dedicated to discuss certain research desiderata in terms of an outlook with an eye on the latest major studies in this vibrant research field.

“…Dabei sollte Diversität in einem intersektionalen Verständnis in die empirischen Analysen eingehen (vgl. Gottburgsen & Gross, 2012;Gross et al, 2016), um so zugleich auch die Interaktionen der verschiedenen Diversitätsmerkmale abbilden zu können. Zum anderen gilt es, die Forschung zu digital vermittelten Lernprozessen und deren Learning Outcomes nicht nur weiter voran zu treiben, sondern dabei auch die Einbeziehung studentischer Diversität als Forschungsfokus zu stärken.…”

Der Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz erfährt in hochschuldidaktischen Kontexten wachsendes Interesse. Durch individualisierte Lernwege ergeben sich für Studierende und Dozierende neue Lern-Lehr-Möglichkeiten. Der Band befasst sich jedoch auch mit den daraus resultierenden Gefahren: Es sind Demarkationslinien zu ziehen, wenn es um Datenschutz oder ethische Bedenken geht. Die Autor*innen des Bandes nehmen verschiedene Sichtweisen ein, um eine multidisziplinäre Betrachtung der neuen Problemstellungen, die die Anwendung von KI im Hochschulkontext mit sich bringt, zu ermöglichen.
