    Advancing higher education on sustainable land use: designing socioscientific inquiry-based learning units on oil palm cultivation

    No full text
    Land-use change driven by the global oil palm boom has widespread environmental and socioeconomic consequences. Recent scientific research offers strategies to mitigate negative effects of oil palm cultivation. This Curriculum, Instruction, and Pedagogy article presents a design-based research (DBR) approach to increase students’ knowledge and interest in interdisciplinary scientific research for sustainable oil palm cultivation. The land-use research addressed in this DBR is based on the international Collaborative Research Centre 990 “Ecological and Socioeconomic Functions of Tropical Lowland Rainforest Transformation Systems” (EFForTS). It focused on sustainable land-use change in Indonesia. Through a collaborative design process, researchers and educators from Indonesian and German universities designed two educational units on oil palm cultivation as a socioscientific issue for Indonesian higher education, specifically for science teacher education and forestry study programs. We systematically analyzed curricular needs, objects of recent scientific research, teaching and learning frameworks, and evaluation approaches to determine design principles. A pre-post-follow-up evaluation (N = 943) showed that the units, when integrated into curricular courses, increased and sustained students’ self-reported knowledge and interest, with improvements from pilot to implementation cycles. The formative and summative evaluations indicated positive ratings for instructional design quality, while also identifying areas for future improvement. Our DBR focused on Indonesian higher education, but the evaluation and reflection findings suggest that our approach can be adapted to a wide range of educational contexts and environmental socioscientific issues, also beyond Indonesia. Our DBR serves as a transferable approach for making scientific research topics, methods, and findings accessible and interesting to students, thereby contributing to the preparation of future change agents for sustainable land use at both local and global scales.Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 202

    Soziale Interaktionen im Blick: Konstruktion und Evaluation eines Mysterys zum Sozialverhalten von Primaten

    Das Sozialverhalten von Primaten ist ein zentraler Inhalt des Biologieunterrichts, der mittels des Basiskonzepts individuelle und evolutive Entwicklung erarbeitet werden kann. Dieser Beitrag stellt die Konstruktion und Evaluation eines Mysterys zum Sozialverhalten von Rhesusmakaken vor, das auf aktuellen Erkenntnissen verhaltensbiologischer Forschung basiert. Adressiert wird die in der Oberstufe bei Lernenden zu fördernde Kompetenz, exogene und endogene Ursachen für das Sozialverhalten von Primaten bei Rhesusmakaken erläutern zu können. Das entwickelte Mystery ermöglicht es, curricular relevante evolutionäre Zusammenhänge strukturiert zu erschließen. Nach einer fachlichen Klärung des Sozialverhaltens von Primaten sowie fachdidaktisch relevanten Erläuterungen zur Mystery-Methode wird die Konstruktion des Mysterys Soziale Interaktionen im Blickbeschrieben. Das Mystery wurde im Rahmen eines iterativen, sechsschrittigen Evaluationsprozesses in 18 Kleingruppen (N = 70) aus allen drei Phasen der Lehrer:innenbildung in Deutschland getestet. Dabei standen neben der curricularen Passung die Präzision der fachlichen Darstellung für Schüler:innen der Oberstufe und die Einsetzbarkeit des Bildungsmaterials (Mystery, Aufgaben zur Kompetenzförderung, Musterlösungen) im Fokus. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen der einzelnen Evaluationsschritte wurden sowohl das konzipierte Bildungsmaterial als auch ein exemplarischer Unterrichtsverlaufsplan weiterentwickelt. Das Mystery zum Sozialverhalten von Rhesusmakaken ist ein in der Praxis erprobtes, curricular valides Bildungsmaterial zur Förderung des Verständnisses exogener und endogener Faktoren sowie deren Einfluss auf das Sozialverhalten von Primaten

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
