​Fehler im Unterricht werden oftmals nicht als Lernchance wahrgenommen und genutzt – stattdessen werden Fehler häufig als etwas Negatives und Beschämendes empfunden, da sie in der Regel a number of unfavorable Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen. Gabriele Steuer konzeptualisiert das Fehlerklima in der Schulklasse anhand von acht Dimensionen sowie einem übergeordneten Faktor und entwickelt ein entsprechendes Messinstrument. Anhand dessen untersucht sie die Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Fehlerklima und zahlreichen unterschiedlichen lernrelevanten Konstrukten sowie Leistungsmaßen. Zusätzlich leistet die Autorin eine Abgrenzung zu weiteren Kontextmerkmalen. Das Ergebnis der Arbeit ist ein differenzierteres Verständnis eines adaptiven bzw. maladaptiven Umgangs mit Fehlern in der Schule – sowohl auf individueller Ebene als auch auf Klassenebene.​

Erst heute setzt sich die Erkenntnis durch, dass auch in Deutschland ein Armutsproblem besteht - mit weitreichenden Folgen für die betroffenen Kinder und Jugendlichen.
Einschränkungen im Wohn- und Freizeitbereich, schlechte schulische Leistungen, ungünstige Startvoraussetzungen für Ausbildung und Beruf bis hin zu negativen gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen zählen noch immer zu den weit verbreiteten, nicht aber unausweichlichen Folgen von Kinder- und Jugendarmut, wie der vorliegende Band darstellt.
Nach einer umfassenden theoretischen Klärung, used to be heute unter Armut verstanden wird und wer von Armut betroffen ist, widmet sich der Autor dem Ausmaß, den Ursachen, den Folgen sowie möglichen Ansätzen zur Prävention von Kinder- und Jugendarmut in Deutschland.
