Studies on the educational quality of schools
The priority program 'The educational quality of schools' has been established seven years ago by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The projects in this program investigated conditions inside and outside of school and their impact on the development of mathematical, scientific, and cross-curricular competencies. In this book major findings of the program are presented. The projects not only give an overview of their research questioning methods and findings, but also of approaches and materials that have been developed to support learning and teaching in mathematics and science class rooms. The studies reported here identify factors for weaknesses in the educational outcomes that became apparent in the international comparisons like TIMSS and PISA. The projects, however, provide empirically substantiated units on approaches that can help to improve the educational quality of schools. [Publisher, ed].
Untersuchungen zur Bildungsqualität von Schule
Vor sieben Jahren hatte die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) das Schwerpunktprogramm Bildungsqualität von Schule eingerichtet. Das unter dem Kürzel "BiQua" bekannte Programm untersuchte, wie schulische und außerschulische Bedingungen die Entwicklung mathematischer, naturwissenschaftlicher sowie fächerübergreifender Kompetenzen beeinflussen. Dieser Band präsentiert wichtige Ergebnisse dieses Programms. Die beteiligten Projekte stellen ihre Forschungsvorhaben, Methoden und die Erkenntnisse über Bedingungen der Bildungsqualität vor. Sie berichten ebenfalls über Materialien und Interventionen, die in dem Programm entwickelt und erprobt wurden, um das Lehren und Lernen an Schulen zu unterstützen. Damit vermittelt der Band einen Eindruck von der empirischen Bildungsforschung der letzten Jahre. Die Projekte identifizieren Gründe für die bei TIMSS und PISA entdeckten Schwächen und untersuchen, wie in Zukunft bessere Bildungsergebnisse an den Schulen in Deutschland erreicht werden können.
Competence Assessment in Education
This book addresses challenges in the theoretically and empirically adequate assessment of competencies in educational settings. It presents the scientific projects of the priority program “Competence Models for Assessing Individual Learning Outcomes and Evaluating Educational Processes,” which focused on competence assessment across disciplines in Germany. The six-year program coordinated 30 research projects involving experts from the fields of psychology, educational science, and subject-specific didactics. The main reference point for all projects is the concept of “competencies,” which are defined as “context-specific cognitive dispositions that are acquired and needed to succ...
Mediating Alzheimer's
An exploration of the representational culture of Alzheimer’s disease and how media technologies shape our ideas of cognition and aging With no known cause or cure despite a century of research, Alzheimer’s disease is a true medical mystery. In Mediating Alzheimer’s, Scott Selberg examines the nature of this enduring national health crisis by looking at the disease’s relationship to media and representation. He shows how collective investments in different kinds of media have historically shaped how we understand, treat, and live with this disease. Selberg demonstrates how the cognitive abilities that Alzheimer’s threatens—memory, for example—are integrated into the operations ...
Knowledge Acquisition from Text and Pictures
Media-didactics have recently become more firmly grounded on cognitive theory, with an increasing concern for the internal processes of knowledge representation and acquisition. With this cognitive aspect in mind, an international group of researchers held a meeting in Tübingen, Federal Republic of Germany, to present and discuss the theoretical approaches to and empirical investigations of knowledge acquisition from text and pictures. This volume contains the revised contributions resulting from that meeting.
