Redesigning a Serious Game App with LESLLA Teachers for Adult Migrant Second Language and Literacy Learners: Enhancing Accessibility and Usability
Full text linkThe lack of adequate digital learning material is a contentious issue in adult migrant literacy education. This study focused on enhancing a serious game’s accessibility and usability for adult second language users with emergent literacy. Using a participatory design approach, teachers redesigned the Lukukupla literacy support app, developed for Finnish-speaking children, elaborating on potential barriers and redesign suggestions in game diaries and interviews. Motor skill and visibility were identified as crucial non-game-specific issues. Game-specific issues, including trauma insensitivity, were identified in learning content, instructions, feedback, visual and auditory input. Teachers’ suggestions emphasized customization and vocabulary training to make the game more relevant and comprehensible for adults. These results highlight how digital learning environments are not automatically suitable for all literacy learners but need to be (re)designed to meet learners’ needs. The article presents recommendations for the development of digital, target-group-specific learning environments for adult learners with limited formal education
Verso casa: lo spazio domestico nei romanzi multigenerazionali dell’Ottocento e del Duemila in Italia
Full text linkThe house constitutes a central topos of the multigenerational novel as we’ve have known it since the late 19th century. In I Malavoglia (1881) by Giovanni Verga and I Viceré (1894) by Federico de Roberto, for instance, the family house is not only reduced to a physical space where characters act and socialize, but is also a metaphor for the lineage itself and its destiny. This spatial paradigm has changed considerably in the multigenerational novels of the 2000s in Italy, such as Fra due mari (2002) by Carmine Abate, Conta le stelle, se puoi (2008) by Elena Loewenthal, and Canale Mussolini (2010) by Antonio Pennacchi. In these novels, the unity of the home, understood as the original place of ancestry, has been replaced by its remoteness in space and time: this is symptomatic of the individual’s internal fragmentation, but also of their search for their own identity and their own space in the family genealogy and in history.La casa costituisce un topos centrale del romanzo multigenerazionale così come lo conosciamo dalla fine del XIX secolo. Nei Malavoglia (1881) di Giovanni Verga e nei Viceré (1894) di Federico de Roberto, per esempio, la dimora di famiglia non si riduce solamente allo spazio fisico in cui si muovono e interagiscono i personaggi, ma è anche metafora della discendenza stessa e del suo destino. Tale paradigma spaziale è mutato notevolmente nei romanzi multigenerazionali degli anni Duemila in Italia, come Fra due mari (2002) di Carmine Abate, Conta le stelle, se puoi (2008) di Elena Loewenthal e Canale Mussolini (2010) di Antonio Pennacchi. In questi testi, l’unità della casa, intesa come spazio originario della stirpe, è stata sostituita dalla sua lontananza nel tempo e nello spazio: ciò è sintomatico della divisione interna all’individuo, ma anche della ricerca intrapresa per trovare la propria identità e il proprio spazio nella genealogia familiare e nella Storia

Jewish Cultural Heritage, Minority Agency, and the State: Introduction
Full text linkUsing an interdisciplinary perspective at the intersections of anthropology, Jewish Studies, and critical academic scholarship of heritage, this special issue presents ethnographic examples to explore the relationship between minority groups and the state through the prism of representations of Jewish cultural heritage in the European public sphere. On an empirical level, the articles focus on personal, community-led, and wider public discussions of the way Jewish experience and histories of migration have been (or should be) represented in museums and historical sites, in musical productions and open-air displays, at sites of restitution and in virtual spaces. In this introductory article we summarise the main points of each contribution and some of their connected themes. We then briefly discuss the articles we brought together and outline the main matters of theoretical concern they raise. Key are the aspirations that members of Jewish communities have in negotiating representations of Jewish heritage in Europe and the agentive capacity that diverse Jewish publics, including individual artists and professionals, demonstrate in shaping these representations to achieve, disrupt, or suspend state-sponsored consensus about the preservation of minority heritage
Educational pathway coaching as an innovative design component of a study-integrated programme: Implementation as part of a design-based research study
Full text linkEin beträchtlicher Teil der Schulabgänger:innen ist nach dem Erwerb der Hochschulzugangsberechtigung unentschlossen, ob sie eine Berufsausbildung oder ein Studium aufnehmen sollen. Trotz vielfältiger Angebote der Berufs- und Studienorientierung fühlen sie sich nicht hinreichend entscheidungssicher. Bei vielen von ihnen führt die Einmündung in ein Studium zu Abbrüchen und Umorientierungen, was als eine Fortsetzung der beruflichen Orientierung bzw. des Berufswahlprozesses verstanden werden kann.
In dem neu konzipierten Modell einer studienintegrierenden Ausbildung (SiA) ist die Entscheidung über die Option Ausbildung und / oder Studium erst nach Ende einer Grundphase von 12-18 Monaten zu treffen, ohne das damit ein Abbruch verbunden wäre. Die Grundphase wird durch ein Bildungsweg-Coaching (BC) begleitet, dessen Zielausrichtung und Ausprägungen zunächst nur grob definiert waren.
Der Beitrag dokumentiert die Implementierung des BC im Rahmen der SiA auf der methodologischen Grundlage eines Design-Based Research (DBR) Konzepts. Nach den Ausführungen der forschungsmethodologischen Grundlagen und der Entwicklung eines theoretischen Bezugsrahmens werden die Befunde aus den Entwicklungs- und Implementierungsprozessen dargestellt. Über zwei Entwicklungs-, Erprobungs- und Evaluationszyklen entstand aus praktischer Perspektive ein zielpräzisiertes Umsetzungskonzept für das BC, das über den engeren Erprobungsrahmen hinaus in anderen Anwendungsfeldern genutzt werden kann. Als Substrat der wissenschaftlichen Auswertungen wurden insgesamt 29 „Design Principles“ herausgearbeitet, die im Rahmen des DBR-Konzepts als fallübergreifende Befunde die theoriegeleitete Entwicklung von BC-Konzepten anleiten könnenA significant proportion of school leavers are undecided as to whether they should pursue vocational education or embark upon further study following the completion of their higher education entrance qualification. Despite the wide range of available career and study guidance programmes, they do not feel sufficiently confident in their decision. For a significant proportion of individuals, commencing a degree programme often results in the phenomenon of dropout and reorientation. This phenomenon can be interpreted as a continuation of the vocational orientation or career choice process.
In the recently developed model of study-integrated vocational education (SiA), the decision regarding the choice of vocational education and/or study is only to be made upon the conclusion of a preliminary phase spanning 12 to 18 months, without this being associated with a dropout. The fundamental stage is accompanied by educational pathway coaching (EPC), the objectives and characteristics of which were initially only approximately defined.
The article provides a comprehensive account of the implementation of the EPC within the framework of the SiA, underpinned by the methodological principles of Design-Based Research (DBR). Following a thorough exposition of the methodological principles underpinning the research and the establishment of a theoretical frame of reference, the findings from the development and implementation processes are presented. Over two cycles of development, testing and evaluation, a goal-oriented implementation concept for the EPC was formulated from a practical perspective. This concept can be employed in a range of other fields of application beyond the narrower testing framework. A total of 29 "design principles" were developed as the substrate of the scientific analyses, which can guide the theory-based development of EPC concepts within the framework of the DBR concept as cross-case findings

Islamic Law, Linguistic Complexity and Scientific Knowledge: A Note on an Arabic Zoological List from Ethiopia
Full text linkIn the present article a list of Arabic animal names copied in a codex kept in a collection in the town of Agaro (Jimma Zone, Oromia Region) is published and analyzed. Together with the Arabic words, the short text contains also explicatory glosses and translations into Amharic and Oromo. The authors describe the origin and the function of the text, setting it into the wider framework of the production of lists and glossaries in the manuscript traditions of Ethiopia. They then study the structure and content of the list from zoological and linguistic points of view, highlighting the interpretational issues that the author of the text had to face and solve
