    Erfassung motorische Basiskompetenzen in der fünften Jahrgangsstufe

    No full text
    Motorische Basiskompetenzen werden als nachhaltig erlernbare und funktionale Leistungsdispositionen verstanden. Sie gewährleisten eine basale Handlungsfähigkeit im Sport, indem Schüler (1) Sport und Bewegung qualifiziert ausführen können. Aufbauend auf dem MOBAK-1 und MOBAK-3 Testinstrument (ausführlich Herrmann & Gerlach, 2014; Herrmann, 2015) wird das MOBAK-5 Testinstrument für die fünfte Schulklasse vorgestellt, welche mittels unterrichtsnaher Testaufgaben die Kompetenzbereiche Sich-Bewegen und Etwas-Bewegen abdeckt. Die daraus gewonnenen Informationen können neben der Evaluation des Sportunterrichts dazu genutzt werden, eine gute Passung zwischen den unterschiedlichen Schülervoraussetzungen und den Lerngelegenheiten herzustellen. Basic motor competencies are defined as a functional level of competence which can be learned and retained. Such competencies provide a guarantee of a student’s elementary ability for students to actively participate in sports. Based on the test instruments MOBAK-1 and MOBAK-3 (see Herrmann and Gerlach, 2014; Herrmann, 2015), the author presents the adaptation for fifth graders (MOBAK-5), which uses test items closely related to the curriculum to cover the areas of competence defined as “self-movement” and “object movement.” The recorded data can be used to both evaluate the physical education class as well as better coordinate the students’ varying prerequisites and learning opportunities

    Preface. World's new princedoms: critical remarks on claimed alternatives by new life

    No full text
    [Extract] The way we view the world, envisage possibilities for social change and strive for improvement in the quality of life is highly complex, with significant challenges in rapidly changing landscapes of the 21st century. This book, edited by Herrmann and with contributions from Earles and Kratzwald, revisits, with fresh insight, key sociological, philosophical, political and cultural theoretical frameworks of relevance to contemporary globalised world. The book is thought-provoking in its central thesis which posits that there is a tendency for the 'refeudalisation' of production and reproduction and where economics is enmeshed with all elements of social life. Herrmann takes us on a journey of revisiting the concept of citizenship, that all important, and yet unclear concept We are confronted with how citizenship is redefined in the face of modern globalised capitalism where the state is an instrument of global economics. The author visits key questions of rights, inclusion-exclusion within bounded territoriality and spatial boundaries in the context of globalisation where borders are porous. The notion of citizenship calls into question its inextricable links to the nation-state. Herrmann challenges us to think through the complexity of this relationship including the technocratic nature of contemporary nation-states, what is the 'common good' and the relevance of collective rights. He also presents a critique of the nation state across the different historical stages of society (from slave society to global capitalist) and how the different stages of the nation state are characterised (i) on power, (ii) territoriality and (iii) on how it is related to economic structures and class division/division of labour

    Ve své diplomové práci jsem se zaměřila na systematický rozbor několika vybraných povídek spisovatele Ignáta Herrmanna. Ignát Herrmann (1854-1935) byl novinářem, fejetonistou, romanopiscem, autorem mnoha povídek a vzpomínek na starou Prahu. K jeho nejznámějším dílům patří existenciální román U snědeného krámu a humoristický román Otec Kondelík a ženich Vejvara. Ve své práci jsem se orientovala na způsob zobrazení jednotlivých postav v rámci jejich fikčních světů, které jsou tvořeny především rodinným prostředím. Ve vybraných dílech jsem analyzovala literární ztvárnění rodiny, vzájemných rodinných vztahů a každodennosti. Výzkum jsem zaměřila na díla vydaná mezi lety 1893 až 1913 s důrazem na různě zobrazené téma rodiny. Pro svůj výzkum jsem vybrala povídky z těchto svazků povídkových souborů: Evička a jiné výjevy rodinné, Páté přes deváté, Rodiny a rodinky, Staří mládenci, Z pamětí starého mrzouta. Jako metodu výzkumu jsem zvolila analýzu z hlediska skladby, počtu a typologie členů jednotlivých rodin, jejich vzájemných vazeb a vztahů, rodinných událostí a každodennosti.In my work, I have focused to stance of making literature family, its members and relations in the writings of Ignát Herrmann.

    Naturalizing institutions: Evolutionary principles and application on the case of money

    No full text
    In recent extensions of the Darwinian paradigm into economics, the replicator-interactor duality looms large. I propose a strictly naturalistic approach to this duality in the context of the theory of institutions, which means that its use is seen as being always and necessarily dependent on identifying a physical realization. I introduce a general framework for the analysis of institutions, which synthesizes Searle's and Aoki's theories, especially with regard to the role of public representations (signs) in the coordination of actions, and the function of cognitive processes that underly rule-following as a behavioral disposition. This allows to conceive institutions as causal circuits that connect the population-level dynamics of interactions with cognitive phenomena on the individual level. Those cognitive phenomena ultimately root in neuronal structures. So, I draw on a critical restatement of the concept of the meme by Aunger to propose a new conceptualization of the replicator in the context of institutions, namely, the replicator is a causal conjunction between signs and neuronal structures which undergirds the dispositions that generate rule-following actions. Signs, in turn, are outcomes of population-level interactions. I apply this framework on the case of money, analyzing the emotions that go along with the use of money, and presenting a stylized account of the emergence of money in terms of the naturalized Searle-Aoki model. In this view, money is a neuronally anchored metaphor for emotions relating with social exchange and reciprocity. Money as a meme is physically realized in a replicator which is a causal conjunction of money artefacts and money emotions. --Generalized Darwinism,institutions,replicator/interactor,Searle,Aoki,naturalism,memes,emotions,money
