Self-regulated learning in mathematics lessons at secondary level
Get PDFSelf-regulation is a prerequisite to be able to set goals and to find suitable ways to reach them. Furthermore, it is an important ability which affects different areas of every day’s life. In educational context, self-regulation is often linked to self-regulated learning. The concept of self-regulated learning as well as key terms related to this topic such as problem-solving and modelling tasks will be discussed, while an emphasis lays on the role of the teacher. In this paper, a study on the attitudes of mathematics teachers towards self-regulated learning is presented. It focuses on teachers’ assessment of the possibility and limitations of self-regulated learning in mathematics lessons. It can be observed that most of the surveyed teachers try to incorporate self-regulatory processes in their teaching, but encounter difficulties related to various factors, such as their students, framework conditions, and the time required for such learning processes.

A tervezés mint vezetési feladat szerepe a szervezeti változásokban – észak-alföldi szervezetek empirikus vizsgálata
Get PDFOrganizational change today represents an unavoidable challenge for all organizations, in which leaders play a key role. Planning as a management task is not merely a technical tool but also a strategic process that determines how organizations are able to adapt to changes arising in their external and internal environments. The aim of the present study was to explore how planning contributes to the successful management of change and how it influences organizational transformation in institutions of the North Plain Region. The empirical investigation was based on a sample of 236 respondents, including a diverse range of organizational types. Beyond descriptive statistics, correlation analyses were conducted to uncover the relationship between planning practices and change management. The findings reveal that planning is not merely as an administrative duty but as a strategic management tool that enhances organizational flexibility and long-term adaptability. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of organizational change practices and may serve as practical guidance for leaders in the planning and implementation of change.A szervezeti változások napjainkban minden szervezet számára elkerülhetetlene kihívást jelentenek, amelyek kezelésében a vezetőnek kulcsszerepe van. A tervezés mint vezetési feladat nem csupán technikai eszközt jelent, hanem stratégiai folyamatot is, amely meghatározza, hogy a szervezetek miként tudnak alkalmazkodni a külső és belső környezetükben jelentkező változásokhoz. Jelen vizsgálat célja annak feltárása volt, hogy a tervezés hogyan járul hozzá a változások sikeres menedzseléséhez, hogyan befolyásolja azt az észak-alföldi régió szervezeteiben. Az empirikus vizsgálat 236 fős mintán alapult, mely különböző szervezeti típusokat foglalt magában. Az adatfeldolgozás során a leíró statisztikán túl összefüggésvizsgálatokat is végeztem a tervezési gyakorlatok és a változásmenedzsment közötti reláció feltárására. A vizsgálat rávilágít arra, hogy a tervezés nem pusztán adminisztratív feladat, hanem olyan stratégiai vezetési eszköz, amely elősegíti a szervezetek rugalmasságát és hosszútávú alkalmazkodóképességét. Az eredmények hozzájárulnak a szervezeti változások gyakorlatának jobb megértéséhez és gyakorlati iránymutatásként szolgálhatnak a vezetők számára a változtatások tervezésében és megvalósításában
Ein böhmischer Ritter an der Epochenwende: Peter Doudlebský von Doudleby (* vor 1492, † 1550)
No full textThe study is dedicated to the remarkable personality of Peter Doudlebský of Doudleby (b. before 1492, d. 1550). A member of a South Bohemian knightly family, he devoted his life to serving the Lords of Rosenberg. As their official, gradually rising to the top of the Rosenberg bureaucratic hierarchy, he was in constant contact with a large number of aristocrats and was also very well informed about events not only in the Kingdom of Bohemia, but also in other parts of the then known world. He used his contacts for generous lending. He multiplied his wealth by investing in loans, which he constantly expanded by using all available funds, including interest income. Doudlebský’s activities anticipated the behaviour of later financiers from the lower nobility, but at the same time his lifestyle also had some unusual features. He showed no interest in building up his own land holdings; on the contrary, he sold the estates he had inherited from his ancestors. Peter remained unmarried and childless, so he did not have to worry about providing for his descendants. He bequeathed only half of his estate to his relatives; the other half went to members of the last generation of the Rosenberg family, to whom he was personally attached. Thanks to the preserved inventories, it is possible to gain an insight into Peter’s household, the composition of which provides a number of insights into his personality. The sources suggest that he spent his leisure time hunting game and catching birds. Otherwise, there is not a single reference to the knight’s literary interests, suggesting a “practical” rather than an intellectual dimension to his personality
Balancing between Loyalties The Teutonic Order Bailiwick of Utrecht and the Formation of the Dutch State, 1528–1648
No full textDuring the Dutch Revolt, the Teutonic Order Bailiwick of Utrecht found itself caught between two fires: the rebels and the legitimate authority of the Spanish king, who had been sovereign of the Netherlands since Charles V expanded his Burgundian inheritance with a few territories and loosened the Burgundian Circle from the Holy Roman Empire, transferring it together with the Spanish possessions to his son Philip II. While at first the fiction was maintained that the battle was not against the king himself but against his evil advisers, with the abjuration of Philip II in 1581 that was over. The rebellious area became a republic of independent provinces, increasingly Calvinistic in character. From then on, the province of Utrecht had authority over the Bailiwick of Utrecht. This institution, under the leadership of the fiercely Catholic Land Commander Jacob Taets van Amerongen, resisted the push for Protestantization. He also remained loyal to the Habsburg Grand Master of the Teutonic Order and in 1594 he sent knights to Hungary to fight the Turks, whom the Dutch actually viewed as allies. This created a security problem for the new state. In 1615, the States of Utrecht decided that the next land commander and also new knights should be Protestant. In 1640, the Protestantization process was finished with the abolition of celibacy, which marked a break with the Grand Master. Henceforth, the Utrecht Teutonic knights were Protestant, mostly married nobles, who functioned as politicians or army officers in the Dutch Republic. This state was recognized at the Westphalian Peace in 1648, including by the Spanish king
Some Notes on the Putsch Map (“Europa Regina”) and Its Depiction of Southeastern Europe
No full textThis paper examines a series of anthropomorphic maps depicting Europe in the form of a woman, now collectively referred to as Europa Regina. The first such map was created by Johannes Putsch of Innsbruck (1516–1542) as a visual accompaniment to his poem Europa Lamentans, dedicated to Archduke Ferdinand I of Habsburg and his brother, Charles V. The concept gained widespread popularity through adaptations of Putsch’s map, including a more detailed version by Matthias Quad and Johann Bussemacher, printed in Cologne in 1587, and two smaller, simplified versions featured in Heinrich Bünting’s Itinerarium Sacrae Scripturae (1587) and Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographia (1588).Previously, the earliest known version of Putsch’s map was thought to have been printed in Paris in 1537. However, in 2019, an earlier edition printed in 1534 – now kept in the Retz Museum in Lower Austria – was (re)discovered. Along with describing this map and the circumstances of its rediscovery, this presentation will examine the representation of the south-eastern regions of the European continent in Putsch’s map and its derivatives. It is suggested that Putsch, in addition to drawing from Ptolemaic geography, was probably familiar with Lázár Deák’s Tabula Hungariae (1528)

When Was Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos Born?
No full textThis paper investigates the birth date of Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos, analyzing conflicting accounts of historical sources. The sources provide two primary narratives: the eulogies of Theodore Prodromos and Michael Italikos, which align Manuel's birth with his father John II Komnenos’ ascension in 1118, and the account of John Kinnamos, who suggests a birth year around 1122, based on Manuel's age during the Battle of Neokaisareia. This analysis is further enriched by examining the feast days of several saints named Stephen, as referenced by Prodromos. The paper seeks to reconcile these divergent perspectives, exploring the implications of each for our understanding of Manuel's life and reign. The study underscores the challenges in Byzantine historiography, where historical facts intertwine with literary motifs
Zur Rezeption Claudians: Das Wunderreich der Venus (Epithalamium de nuptiis Honori Augusti 47–98)
No full textThe major influence of Claudian on Neo-Latin poetry is well known but the reception of the late antique poet is still poorly studied in its details. This paper examines four typical imitations of Claudian’s splendid description of the realm of Venus. The influence of the ekphrasis will be analysed in Boccaccio’s description of the afterlife (Buccolicum carmen), in Baptista Mantuanus’ depiction of the Garden of Eden (Parthenice), in the exotic landscapes of Lorenzo Gambara’s epic poem (De navigatione Christophori Columbi), and finally in a metapoetic elegy by Girolamo Balbi
