Planungskompetenzen von Volksschullehrpersonen beim Einsatz audiovisueller Medien im Englischunterricht
No full textIn der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wurde untersucht, wie die Planungskompetenzen von Englischlehrpersonen der Volksschule für die Arbeit mit audiovisuellen Medien klarer skizziert werden können. Wegleitende Fragestellung war, wie der Bereich der Unterrichtsplanung im Englischunterricht auf der Volksschule klarer beschrieben werden kann. Zur Beantwortung der Leitfrage werden im theoretischen Teil der Arbeit die politischen Rahmenbedingungen für Fremdsprachenlehrpersonen auf europäischer, nationaler und kantonaler Ebene skizziert. Anschließend wird die Fach- und Mediendidaktik zum Einsatz audiovisueller Medien aus der Fachliteratur gesichtet und der aktuelle Stand dargestellt. Ein weiteres Kapitel widmete sich den in den letzten Jahren zum Thema durchgeführten Studien, um allfällige Forschungslücken und den aktuellen Stand zu Planungskompetenzen zu eruieren. Planungskompetenzen als theoretisches Konstrukt und audiovisuelle Medien als Lerngegenstand wurden definiert, und das für den Kanton Thurgau vorgesehene Lehrmittel wurde vorgestellt. Bei der Sichtung der Theorie wird klar, dass Volksschullehrpersonen Planungskompetenzen benötigen, um mit audiovisuellen Medien zu arbeiten. Da die Fachdidaktik dem Einsatz von AV-Medien eine hohe Komplexität zuschreibt, wird mit Blick auf die Vorgaben und den aktuellen Stand der Forschung deutlich, dass die Arbeit mit audiovisuellen Medien für den Unterricht in der Volksschule für Lehrpersonen eine große Herausforderung darstellt. Im empirischen Teil der Arbeit werden die audiovisuellen Medien des Lehrmittels für die Volksschule (n=35) anhand eines auf der Literatur und Forschung basierenden Kriterienkatalogs analysiert. Zusätzlich wird je ein Medium aus der Primarstufe und eines aus der Sekundarstufe beispielhaft analysiert. Die Befunde machen deutlich, dass die Qualität der Medien größtenteils hoch ist, sie jedoch Mängel in der technischen Aufbereitung besitzen. Ebenfalls waren 80 % der Medien entweder Reportagen oder Ausschnitte aus Dokumentarfilmen. Die Gegenüberstellung der Theorie und der Empirie macht deutlich, dass für die Ausbildung von Volksschullehrpersonen hohe Ansprüche bestehen. Die folgende Arbeit ist eine Annäherung an die Herausforderungen für die Pädagogischen Hochschulen der Schweiz. Diese müssen der Komplexität audiovisueller Medien in ihren Ausbildungsinhalten durch aktuelle Curricula und Ausbildungsinhalte gerecht werden. Abschließend werden die benötigten Planungskompetenzen für Volksschullehrpersonen beim Einsatz audiovisueller Medien skizziert
Language Education in Europe Today - Interview with S. Slivensky and G. Jaritz: EAIE Podcast (No. 103)
No full textUnderstanding and fostering the plurilingual wellbeing of (language) teachers
No full textAre language teachers aware of their plurilingual repertoire and its potential? Do they call upon their own language resources to implement plurilingual approaches in their teaching? Do teachers really understand plurilingualism? What relationship do teachers have with their own languages? Is this important? How can we help teachers step out of their comfort zone? This presentation will refer to the concept of plurilingual wellbeing by explaining the ECML project ‘Fostering the plurilingual wellbeing of language teachers’. Plurilingual wellbeing is defined as being aware of and valuing the potential of one’s own language repertoire and feeling comfortable with using it in a variety of personal and professional contexts. Rooted in research about (teacher) wellbeing, language awareness and plurilingual identity (e.g. Young & Mary, 2021; Mercer, 2021; Seligman, 2011), the project aims to understand how fostering plurilingual wellbeing among teachers can positively shape their plurilingual teaching practices and ultimately benefit their students’ learning. Teachers often find it challenging to navigate between their own beliefs and emotions and the task of promoting students' plurilingual competence. The PLURIWELL project is working with teachers for teachers. It does so by following a formative intervention which understands that teacher education should not be based solely on theoretical instruction on what is to be taught and how (Lantolf & Esteve, 2019) but should first challenge teachers’ own beliefs about the languages they teach and know, as well as the ones which surround them and thus influence their language identities. This approach is meant to allow for the development of highly applicable and individualised practice-oriented tools fostering the plurilingual wellbeing of teachers which support them in the task of implementing plurilingualism-sensitive language teaching
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
