    Reflexives Schreiben an der Schnittstelle von Ausbildungswissen und Praxiserfahrungen

    No full text
    Im Lehramtsstudiengang Vorschulstufe und Primarstufe der Pädagogischen Hochschule Bern setzt das reflexive Schreiben an der Schnittstelle von theoriebezogenen Lehrveranstaltungen und der Praxisausbildung an. In Praxisbegleitgruppen lernen die Studierenden, wie sie ihre Praxiserfahrungen im studienbegleitenden E-Portfolio produktiv verarbeiten und Bezüge zu den theoretischen Ausbildungsmodulen sowie zur wissenschaftlichen Literatur herstellen können. Der Beitrag beschreibt die Implementierung des E-Portfolios im Rahmen der Praxisbegleitgruppe und zeigt den Stellenwert von reflexivem Schreiben und wissenschaftlicher Reflexivität für die Ausbildung professioneller Lehrpersonen auf. 09.05.2016 | Caroline Bühler, Ursula Fiechter & Beat Reck (Bern

    Code choice and code-switching in Swiss-German internet relay chat rooms

    In the German-speaking regions of Switzerland, dialect is spoken by all social groups in most communicative situations, Standard German being used only when prescribed. Swiss dialects rarely appeared in written form before the 1980s, apart from the genre of dialect literature. Due to the growing acceptance of informal writing styles in many European languages, dialect is increasingly employed for written personal communication, in particular in computer-mediated communication (CMC). In Swiss Internet Relay Chat (IRC) rooms, varieties of German are used side by side as all chatters have a command of both standard and dialectal varieties. Depending on the channel, the proportion of dialectal contributions can be as high as 90 percent. The choice of a particular variety depends on both individual preference and on the predominant variety used within a specific thread. In this paper I take a quantitative approach to language variation in IRC and demonstrate how such an approach can help embed qualitative research on code-switching in CMC

    The role of beat gesture and pitch accent in semantic processing: An ERP study

    The present study investigated whether and how beat gesture (small baton-like hand movements used to emphasize information in speech) influences semantic processing as well as its interaction with pitch accent during speech comprehension. Event-related potentials were recorded as participants watched videos of a person gesturing and speaking simultaneously. The critical words in the spoken sentences were accompanied by a beat gesture, a control hand movement, or no hand movement, and were expressed either with or without pitch accent. We found that both beat gesture and control hand movement induced smaller negativities in the N400 time window than when no hand movement was presented. The reduced N400s indicate that both beat gesture and control movement facilitated the semantic integration of the critical word into the sentence context. In addition, the words accompanied by beat gesture elicited smaller negativities in the N400 time window than those accompanied by control hand movement over right posterior electrodes, suggesting that beat gesture has a unique role for enhancing semantic processing during speech comprehension. Finally, no interaction was observed between beat gesture and pitch accent, indicating that they affect semantic processing independently. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
