Erfassung motorische Basiskompetenzen in der fünften Jahrgangsstufe
No full textMotorische 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

The functional relationship between yawning and vigilance
No full textBACKGROUND: Although yawning is a ubiquitous and phylogenetically old phenomenon, its origin and purpose remain unclear. The study aimed at testing the widely held hypothesis that yawning is triggered by drowsiness and brings about a reversal or suspension of the process of falling asleep. METHODS: Subjects complaining of excessive sleepiness were spontaneously yawning while trying to stay awake in a quiet and darkened room. Changes in their electroencephalogram (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) associated with yawning were compared to changes associated with isolated voluntary body movements. Special care was taken to remove eye blink- and movement-artefacts from the recorded signals. RESULTS: Yawns were preceded and followed by a significantly greater delta activity in EEG than movements (p< or =0.008). After yawning, alpha rhythms were attenuated, decelerated, and shifted towards central brain regions (p< or =0.01), whereas after movements, they were attenuated and accelerated (p<0.02). A significant transient increase of HRV occurred after the onset of yawning and movements, which was followed by a significant slow decrease peaking 17s after onset (p<0.0001). No difference in HRV changes was found between yawns and movements. CONCLUSIONS: Yawning occurred during periods with increased drowsiness and sleep pressure, but was not followed by a measurable increase of the arousal level of the brain. It was neither triggered nor followed by a specific autonomic activation. Our results therefore confirm that yawns occur due to sleepiness, but do not provide evidence for an arousing effect of yawning
