„Professionalisierung, das heißt also, wenn ich definiere, wer was zu tun hat“ – Aufgaben des Sozialen Dienstes in der stationären Altenhilfe vor dem Hintergrund sozialer und sozialpolitischer Transformationsprozesse aus Sicht der Sozialen Arbeit
No full textSeit fast fünf Jahrzehnten wird – aus Sicht der Sozialen Arbeit – bemängelt, dass dem Sozialen Dienst in der stationären Altenhilfe ein originäres, differenziertes Aufgabenprofil fehlt. Angesichts sozialer und sozialpolitischer Transformationsprozesse, die Anforderungen an den Sozialen Dienst in diesem Feld verändert haben, ist eine Konkretisierung gegenwärtig von besonderer Relevanz. Anhand der Ergebnisse von Fokusgruppen und Expert*inneninterviews mit Fachkräften des Sozialen Dienstes in der stationären Altenhilfe in NRW stellt der Beitrag ihre aktuellen Aufgaben sowie diesbezügliche Veränderungen in jüngerer Zeit dar
"Virtual Unreality": Unreal Augmentation of Perception and Action Must Fit the Task to Be Beneficial
No full text"Unreal" augmentations of perception and action (e.g., looking through walls, flying) represent a distinctive design opportunity in Virtual Reality (VR), allowing users to transcend real-world limitations. Yet the conditions under which such augmentations yield positive experience remain unclear. In this study, we tested whether the experience of being augmented depends on compatibility with the given task. In a between-subject experimental vignette study (N=120 experienced VR users), participants watched first-person videos in one of three conditions: (1) reality-oriented object manipulation (control), (2) task-compatible augmentation (growing/shrinking), or (3) non-task-compatible augmentation (distant grasping). As expected, the augmentation-oriented design only led to a greater sense of augmentation when it was compatible with the task. In turn, the experience of augmentation was positively related to positive affect, need fulfillment, and hedonic quality. These findings suggest that unreal augmentations are beneficial, but only when the new abilities match the task

No full textWords Don't Come Easy to Me – Teaching Academic Writing to Engineering Students in the Age Of AI
No full textThe competence of academic writing is currently still a central requirement for obtaining an academic degree. However, in teaching academic writing, lecturers have to deal with the two challenges of decreasing reading competence in young people and increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in reading and writing assignments. In engineering in particular, literacy understood as reading and writing competence is essential - whether for understanding complex tasks, analysing case studies or dealing with technical documents such as the product requirements document. Against this background, it is crucial to develop strategies and discuss modern approaches to specifically promote students' reading and writing skills and thus create an essential basis for successful scientific work and problem-solving. This workshop aims to stimulate an interactive exchange and develop practical solutions in the three core areas strengthening reading competence, developing academic writing skills, and substituting for reading and writing assessments
Social Capital and National Innovativeness – The Influence of Trust and Tolerance on the National Capacity to Innovate
No full textWhile national innovativeness is of pivotal relevance for economic development, so far, relatively little attention has been paid to the social drivers of innovativeness. Thus, the role of social norms and values as drivers of innovativeness is somewhat blurry. Tackling this gap, the article at hand reflects the concepts of social capital, trust, and tolerance, before a model of social capital and innovativeness is developed and tested empirically, followed by the presentation and discussion of the results and a brief conclusion
