This article introduces a school-based social pedagogical programme using horses to support pupils’ educational development, social and emotional skills and self-esteem. These are essential for pupils’ well-being, to reduce the risk of developing emotional disorders in youth and later life. In terms of academic outcomes, these social-emotional skills, character strengths and health benefits are recognised in the Finnish educational agenda. Equine-assisted social education (EASE) differs from recreational riding programs by its frame of reference in social pedagogy and in the human–equine bond it features, positioning horses as co-educators to improve interaction and collaboration. This human–equine communication supports both human and equine welfare if applied with attention, respect and empathy. Furthermore, the stables environment provides a setting for enhancing the pedagogical relationship and trust between pupils and their teacher. This equine activity practice, like other educational interventions, has physical, behavioural, social and emotional intentions. In addition, as social pedagogy is a complex and innovative discipline, EASE represents a ground-breaking practice within this discipline. The purpose is to respond to individual and social difficulties with preventive and problem-solving practice. As Finnish social pedagogy emphasises educational dialogue and communication, EASE facilitates non-verbal communication and positive behaviour. Additionally, it consists of factors improving collaboration through experiences, activities and dialogue.

This research was conducted based on students’ diverse learning outcomes. To maximize learning outcomes, a supportive learning resource is needed. 8th grader students of Junior High School 12 Bandung have used the internet in social science subject learning. Given the limitations of school facilities and infrastructure, all students access the internet in social science subject learning using personal data connection. The internet is used by teachers and students in finding learning materials and seeking completion of school assignments. The internet helps students to get up to date and relevant learning resources. The method used for collecting the data in this study was through observation, interview, and documentation. The research target was students. The findings of this study indicated that by using the internet, students are easier to find learning material and it helps them to work on school assignments completion, and it helps them to obtain scores that tend to increase. The use of the internet as a learning resource makes students better understand the subject matter, makes it easier to find learning material as well as to find answers for their assignments. However, the barrier to the use of the internet as a source of learning for students was when the learning materials sought are combined with other learning materials.

This study was conducted since there is a problem of limited social studies learning source for junior high school or SMP. Mostly, teachers only provide textbooks or other learning material, but do not use environment as the source of social studies learning. Thus, learning source which uses environment is highly needed, such as role Dynamics of Asy-syuro Mosque in 1912-2015, which aims to increase students’ enthusiasm in learning social studies in class and to make students understand the lesson more easily because they can see it directly. In this research, the case study method was used because the researcher carefully observed the role of Asy-syuro Mosque in the Pre Independence (1912-1945) and the Post-Independence (1949-2015) periods. Data collection technique of this study was through Literature study, Observation, interview, and documentation study. The subjects of this study are the family of the mosque’s founder, Asy-syuro Mosque management, Cipari village’s elders, social studies teachers, and students of MTs Ponpes Cipari. Based on the research, it is found that Asy-syuro Mosque had a quite significant role change in seven aspects (Ritual, Social, Economy, Education, Da’wah, Politics, and Health). The role of Asy-Syuro Mosque in politics in 1912, 1945 and 1949 has values and meanings of great fighting, togetherness, cooperation, and nationalism soul. This case is included into learning source "Message" component. Meanwhile, Asy-Syuro Mosque's role in other aspects, has piety, responsibility, concern, honesty, values and as the application of Social Interaction and Social Motives Economic Action materials. These are included into learning source "Environment" type. Asy-Syuro Mosque is a kind of "Learning Resources by Utilization" which uses environment or surroundings and is relevant to social studies learning material.

This article strives to reinterpret educational values in social pedagogy to provide a basis for a critique of evidence-based practices. The article focuses on traditions and developments in social pedagogy from a Danish perspective. However, the author often refers to ‘Denmark and the other Nordic countries’ due to the fact that many of the traditions and developments mentioned have taken place throughout Scandinavia. The author argues that ‘the social’ or ‘sociality’ in social pedagogy is not an evidence-based concept and must therefore be continually open for interpretation by professionals and clients alike. Furthermore, it is argued that this continual interpretive ‘quest’ ( MacIntyre, 2003 ; Taylor, 1989 ) is a foundational practice in social pedagogy. As a response to the prevalence of ‘evidence-based practice’ and so-called scientific ‘hard facts’ within the social professions, the author argues for the necessity of interpretive spaces. The article explicates how the social pedagogical tradition in Denmark has built on the German educational tradition of Bildung, i.e. a broad, holistic, humanistic concept of education. The objective of Bildung is to educate not just toward knowledge but toward sociality. To work with Bildung within a social pedagogical framework, it is argued, practitioners need to be sensitive to historical, cultural and biographical narratives. However, such narrative sensitivity is only one side of the coin in working with Bildung in social pedagogy. It is equally important is to develop a culture that produces human presence ( Gumbrecht, 2004 ). Practitioners must therefore navigate between interpretation and presence. The author argues that the knowledge base that this type of practice builds on is phenomenological hermeneutics ( Ricoeur, 1976 ; van Manen, 2016 ). From this perspective the author discusses how the values of this tradition can be re-interpreted in a late modern society.

This mixed methods study introduces the concept of purpose in the social pedagogical education of Finnish social services students ( N = 151). The aim of this study is to specify the purpose profiles of the students and to investigate how students with different profiles define the intended outcome of having a purpose in life and why they want to help unknown others. Three purpose profiles are identified: dabbler, purposeful and dreamer. Most of the social services students appear to be dabblers, who differ from the purposeful group in that they keep searching for new purposes in life. Purposeful students were the most able to address values as their guiding principles in life, although what was most important for students in all profiles was to pursue a pleasant life rather than a value-driven or some form of good life. Purposeful students also specified value-based helping goals more than others and felt that their own well-being was the key to helping others. The study points out that students’ awareness of their values and purposes should be promoted during their social pedagogical education. Most students might not be aware why they are pursuing a helping profession. Students could be supported in identifying helping unknown others as their life purpose in order to promote their wellbeing, satisfaction at work and wider understanding of the personal level and social level impacts of helping.

This International Journal of Social Pedagogy special issue on Social Pedagogy in the Nordic Countries generally stems from Hämäläinen’s (2012) definition of two main developmental lines of social pedagogy: a line of social care and welfare activities preventing and alleviating social exclusion, and a line of social education supporting growth into membership of society. In the Nordic countries, both of these lines exist in social pedagogical discussion, research and practice. The special issue aims to both discuss the existence of these lines as such and show examples of social pedagogical work in the arenas of both general and special social education.

This paper discusses the nature of the professional expertise needed in residential child care (RCC) in light of recent debate on social pedagogy. Focusing on the question of what kind of expertise is introduced in this debate, the paper deals with the contribution of social pedagogy to the professional development and professional competences of the RCC field, as well as the characteristics of professional knowhow in particular. The paper discusses also the research on how RCC expertise is constructed among RCC workers and how they demonstrate their expertise to other professional groups. The final aim is to outline a social pedagogy-informed profile of professional RCC competences. The purpose is to stimulate and enable multidisciplinary reflections about different kinds of expertise and shared responsibilities, towards developing an integrated framework for RCCs. Moreover, the paper emphasises the relevance of social pedagogy as a subject for training to promote RCC professionalism.

In his book The Killing Fields of Inequality (2013/2014), sociologist Göran Therborn brought together empirical data, theoretical reflections and historical and political analysis in order to outline an analytical tool for understanding the complex phenomenon of inequality. In this article, it is asked whether Therborn’s framework, rooted in the idea that social inequality is a social construction that may be transformed, could provide one possible analytical tool that could help professionals in the area of social pedagogy to better understand inequalities and ways to combat them. Following the orientation of critical social pedagogy, it is argued that, in order to better direct the planning and implementation of theoretical and practical work aiming at taking steps towards a more egalitarian future, it is necessary to see the connectedness of individual hardships with wider and deeper societal structures of inequality. The first part of the article offers a short historical analysis of inequality as a question of social pedagogy. The second part is dedicated to Therborn’s theoretical framework of the different dimensions of inequality. It is introduced within a social pedagogical context. Different mechanisms leading to inequality are also outlined, together with their counterforces, or the mechanisms producing equality. Using Therborn’s framework as an analytical tool, a suggestion is formulated on how his theory could be applied as a general framework for work in the field of social pedagogy attempting to prevent and alleviate social exclusion and inequality in society. The article outlines a set of ‘social pedagogical tools for equality’, the use of which should be contextualised within a well-rooted conceptual understanding of inequality.
