In many countries social pedagogues apply ART (Aggression Replacement Training), a multimodal programme designed to help juveniles with severe behaviour problems. In this programme Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development makes up an important element. The first part of this article offers a presentation of Kohlberg's theory and some of the critique made of it. The second part describes how the Kohlbergian tradition is implemented in ART. In the final part of the article a problem with the ART programme is pointed out and an alternative neo-Kohlber-gian approach is described. This method may prove to be a viable approach in the field of social pedagogy and an adequate supplement to the ART programme.

This article gives an introduction to the life and work of the Ukrainian social pedagogue and educational theorist Anton Makarenko. In the early part of the 1920s, he formulated a theory that he further developed while helping orphans under the most difficult and dramatic conditions. When he died, aged only 51 years old, Makarenko left behind a multifaceted theory, or a system of theories, that deals with many aspects of social pedagogy. Unfortunately, this source is ignored by most professionals in the Western countries. Those embarking on this substantial body of work will experience exciting reading. Most likely they will also acquire new insights and perspectives, which may be useful when trying to help young people. Makarenko's theory is directly inspired by his background and life experiences. In order to fully understand and thereby be able to assess his texts one needs thorough insight into the difficult political and social conditions under which he lived. The initial part of this article describes some of the key events in his life and also provides an overview of his most important texts. The subsequent part describes the essence of the theory and links its different elements to contemporary professional discourse. In the concluding part the holism and dialectics in Makarenko's reasoning and his intellectual kinship with John Dewey are highlighted.

Die norwegische Gewerkschaftsbewegung ist ein umfassender Organisationskomplex mit vielen Ebenen, großen Differenzen und vielen verschiedenen Tätigkeitsfeldern. Die Darstellung behandelt primär die Leitungsebenen der Gewerkschaftsbewegung, hier vor allem den Gewerkschaftsbund und in einem gewissen Grad die angeschlossenen Verbände - besonders die ehemalige Metallarbeitergewerkschaft. Des weiteren wird die Darstellung auf vier wichtige Tätigkeitsfelder begrenzt: zum ersten die Produktionswachstums- und Modernisierungsebene - und die Reaktionen auf diese. Danach werden zweitens die Lohnpolitik, drittens die Mitbestimmungsfrage und viertens das politische Zusammenspiel mit der Arbeiterpartei - der sozialdemokratischen Partei - behandelt. (pre)
