Get PDFMy research-creations question the forms of modernity and the phenomena of mutations specific to the era of globalization and the Anthropocene. My artistic creations probe the themes and symptomatic issues of our contemporary era where the real and the artificial are mixed. This hybrid work combines an asserted materiality, with mixing techniques, influences, supports and temporalities; and where the boundaries between disciplines are narrowing, stemming from scientific devices, with references to history, while others are more political.Artiste-chercheur, mes recherches-créations interrogent les formes de modernité et les phénomènes de mutations spécifiques à l’ère de la globalisation et de l’Anthropocène. Des réalisations artistiques qui abordent les thématiques et les problématiques symptomatiques de notre époque contemporaine où se mêlent le réel et l’artificiel. Une œuvre hybride qui se manifeste dans une matérialité affirmée, mélangeant les techniques, les influences, les supports et les temps ; et où les frontières entre les disciplines s’amenuisent, relevant de dispositifs scientifiques, de référence à l’Histoire, alors que d’autres sont plus politiques

On Syllable Weight in Amharic
Get PDFContrary to the claim made in a recently published article, that literature on Amharic stress is ‘almost nonexistent’, I present and quote from the works of Armbruster, Guidi, Abraham, and others, and discuss their concept of stress patterns in Amharic. However, my criticism mainly concerns the data base used in the aforementioned article which addresses the topic of syllable weight, and where an attempt is made to analyse stress in Amharic based on a large number of examples. In these examples, however, consonantal lengthening and the distinction between the central vowels ǝ and ä and ä and a are incorrectly represented in almost all verbal forms, infinitives, and adjectives. This is partly the result of the informants speaking Amharic as their second language, and partly due to the fieldworkers’ incomplete knowledge of the language. This gives rise to many mistakes even amongst the simplest one- and two-syllable words. Ultimately this raises the question of whether those authors’ linguistic conclusions on the moraic nature of codas can be regarded as safe since it is based on inaccurate data. I also apply my own analysis to Amharic reduplicated adjectival forms, which differs from the one proposed in the said article
Pre-service teachers as designers in the context of advertising literacy education
Get PDFThe present study describes how teacher design teams (TDTs) in pre-service education were set up to create in-school programs about advertising. A multiple case-study design was employed to reveal what kinds of input-, process-, and output-related factors facilitate or hinder the collaboration of three voluntarily participating teams of pre-service teachers. By combining pre-TDT questionnaire data with an analysis of audiorecorded team design discussions and reflective data collected after the design process, we found that the participating student teachers (1) were unfamiliar with design assignments at the start of the project, but were all intrinsically motivated to take part; (2) especially express practical concerns when designing learning materials, and (3) argue that TDTs positively contribute to their professional development. As this study revealed both facilitating and hindering factors, recommendations for future organization of and research on TDTs in pre-service education are offered

Digital design of design processes – A case study of a design research study in vocational education
No full textThe digital transformation affects all aspects of the society, including educational and scientific areas. Regarding the educational area, digital devices as a part of vocational lessons seem to be promising a better support of the learning processes. In a given design research project (tabletBS.dual) in the field of vocational education, didactical prototypes for using tablets in a motivational and effective way are developed in different vocational schools. For this, four design cycles with the phases design application and evaluation are carried out. The article focuses on the description of the digital character of the design cycles. In the presented project, different digital devices and tools are used in the several phases of a design cycle (e.g. digital consultation hours for vocational teachers to plan lessons or to conduct digital interviews with their students in the evaluation phase). We will go into detail about the digital devices and technologies used to point out the potentials of digitization in regard to the design of design and evaluation processes
Dual Study Programmes as a Design Challenge: Identifying Areas for Improvement as a Starting Point for Interventions
Get PDFThe proportion of freshmen enrolled in dual study programmes has steadily increased in recent years. From the perspective of potential students, these programmes are highly attractive because they combine types of learning that used to be largely separate at an institutional level: vocational and academic learning. In training-integrated dual study programmes, different institutional contexts, governance regimes, teaching styles and learning environments make bridging these two worlds of learning a challenge for both educators and learners. However, these programmes also allow leeway for didactic innovation, through the cooperation of different types of educational institutions and through new ways of using available didactic methods, and for establishing a new relationship between higher education (HE) and vocational education and training (VET). This paper positions training-integrated dual study programmes as an object of design-based research (DBR). By developing and using an extended model for the pedagogic development of HEIs, “pädagogische Hochschulentwicklung” (Brahm, Jenert, & Euler, 2016a, p. 19; Euler, 2013, p. 360), the paper systematically identifies generic educational problems in these hybrids. Based on a literature review, this paper classifies and explains the design challenges at the level of the learning environment, the study programme and the organisation. The challenges revolve mainly around the cooperation and integration of HE and VET. The paper concludes with an outlook on future DBR projects designing dual studies.
