Gerda Lerner Family Collection 1939-1978
No full textThe collection contains materials related to several members of the Kronstein/Neumann/Mueller families; both original documents as well as additional biographical information and excerpts from Gerda Lerner's book "A Death of One's Own". The bulk consists of correspondence, mainly written from Ilona Kronstein's exile in Nice to her daughter Gerda in the United States. In one letter, Ilona Kronstein describes a brief stay in the Gurs camp. Most of the correspondence has been summarized by John and Eva Englander, the summaries are included in the folders.Austrian Heritage CollectionGerda Lerner, October 2003; April 2004 (Addenda 1)The Gerda Lerner Papers are on deposit at the Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute. See also the Nora Kronstein-Rosen Family Collection at the LBI (AR 25257)Ilona Kronstein (nee Neumann) was born in Budapest in 1897 to Sigmund Neumann and Emma Deutsch. In 1918, she met Robert Kronstein. The couple married a year later and moved to Vienna. They had two daughters: Gerda, born in 1920, and Nora, born in 1925. Between 1928 and 1933 Ilona studied art with Johannes Itten. She opened her own studio in 1933. In 1938, after several weeks in a Gestapo prison, she fled with her two daughters, Gerda and Nora, to Liechtenstein, where her husband was already waiting. After a few months in Vaduz, she went to a small town near Nice and solely devoted herself to art. It was in Nice that she became friends with the painter Rudolf Ray. In 1940 she was detained in the concentration camp at Gurs for several weeks and from 1941 onwards she began to show signs of multiple sclerosis. Her family managed with great difficulty to get her back to Liechtenstein in 1942 and to obtain medical assistance for her in Switzerland. She died in Zurich in 1948.In 2000, the Jewish Museum Vienna exhibited drawings and pastels by Ilona Kronstein, which her daughters Gerda Lerner and Nora Kronstein-Rosen donated to the museum in 1997.Ilona's sister Margit Neuer (born 1899) was a physician and perished in Auschwitz. Her second sister Klara (born 1903) married Alexander Mueller, a psychiatrist and close co-worker of Alfred Adler. As a stateless person he was denied residence in several countries and forcibly sent across the border back to Germany, until he finally obtained residence in Holland. After the Nazi takeover of the Netherlands, he and his wife fled to Budapest, where they survived the Russian siege and he survived Eichmann's death march to Austria. After the end of the war they first returned to The Netherlands, then found refuge in Switzerland, where Alexander Mueller accepted a position at the University of Zuerich. He died in 1968.Elizabeth Breznitz, née Klein, was born in Léva (then Hungary, today Levice, Slovakia). Her first husband, Leo Kalmer, died in a concentration camp in Bavaria; she was liberated from Auschwitz in 1945, but her father and her stepmother perished. After the war she lived in Plzen, Czech Republic. Her letters are of great interest to understand the daily life of a Holocaust survivor in Czechoslovakia.Gerda Kronstein came to the US in 1939, where she married Carl Lerner in 1941. She received her Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1966. She is one of the founders of women's history and a former President of the Organization of American Historians. In 1972, she founded the first graduate (M.A.) program in women's history in the US at Sarah Lawrence College. In 1980 she founded the first PH.D. program in women's history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has won many honors, including 17 honorary degrees and is the author of 13 books.See also the catalog of an exhibition held at the Juedisches Museum Wien in 2000: Die Welt der Ili Kronstein = the world of Ili Kronstein : Werke 1938-1943 / herausgegeben von Werner Hanak im Auftrag des Juedischen Museums Wien.

Les Delassements D\u27Eros : sexuality and gender identity in Gerda Wegener\u27s erotic aquarelles
No full textThis thesis examines the representations of sexuality and gender identity in Gerda Wegener\u27s erotic illustrations in Les Delassements D\u27Eros: Douze Sonnets Lascifs ( The Amusements of Eros: Twelve Lustful Sonnets ). In 1925, Gerda Wegener, a Danish artist, collaborated with Louis Perceau, a French poet and connoisseur of erotica, to illustrate a book of erotic poetry known as Les Delassements D\u27Eros. Her illustrations consist of twelve watercolors, called aquarelles, with female-female sex as well as other sexual mythological and carnival imagery. For many years, both the author and the artist were unknown because the book was published anonymously due to its erotic content. The popular female model in her artworks was her husband, Einar, who in 1930 underwent the first successful sex reassignment surgery to identify as a woman. Through the inclusion of Einar as her female model in her illustrations as well as female-female sex, Gerda pushes and blurs the boundaries of gender and sexuality during the early twentieth century in Paris. Her works explore the fashioning of identity and the collapse of cultural barriers, and express a passion for women and beauty, all of which are still relevant today
Ziehen und Beweisen mit DGS : Welche Beweiskraft haben für Studierende die Erkenntnisse, die sie im Zugmodus gewinnen?
No full textSeit der Weltpremiere von Cabri Géomètre 1988 hat sich die Software für Dynamische Geometrie (DGS) als hilfreiches Werkzeug beim Treiben von Elementargeometrie etabliert. Von Anfang an ging es selbstredend auch um das Lehren und Lernen von Geometrie mit DGS. Hierbei hegte man hohe Erwartungen an das heuristische Potenzial beim Problemlösen, bei der induktiven Satzfindung usw. In der vorliegenden Arbeit gehe ich zwei Forschungsfragen nach: (i) Wie wirkt sich DGS auf das Beweisverständnis der Lernenden aus? (ii) Wie verwenden sie den Zugmodus, und welchen kognitiven Nutzen ziehen sie aus diesem? Bei meinen Lernenden handelte es sich um Studierende des Grund- und des Hauptschullehramts an der Universität Paderborn, deren Umgang mit der DGS ich im Rahmen eines teilstandardisierten Interviews nach Mayring beobachtete, um anschließend die Transkripte mit der Methode der Objektiven Hermeneutik nach Oevermann auszuwerten. Es ergaben sich folgende Befunde: (i) Wer überhaupt ein unangemessenes Verständnis vom Wesen mathematischer Beweise hat, neigt zum Glauben an eine - bekanntlich nicht vorhandene - Beweiskraft der DGS. (ii) Wer im Umgang mit dem Zugmodus unerfahren ist, hat oft ausgeprägte handwerkliche kognitive (!) Probleme mit diesem. Insgesamt werden entsprechende frühere Untersuchungen bestätigt, nach denen das unbestritten vorhandene didaktische Potenzial der DGS sich beim Geometrietreiben keineswegs von selbst realisiert.Since the appearance of the computer geometry program Cabri Géomètre in 1988, Dynamic Geometry Environments (DGE) have shown themselves to be useful tools for doing work in elementary geometry. From the beginning, it has been clear that these were tools for the teaching and learning of geometry as well. Thus, high expectations surrounded their heuristic potential to aid in problem solving, for inductive proofs, etc. In this thesis, I am investigating two research questions: (i) What are the effects of DGE on a learner's understanding of geometrical proofs? (ii) How do they use the drag mode and what cognitive benefit do they obtain from their use of it?The learners for this study were mathematics teacher students at the University of Paderborn. Their interaction with the DGE was observed and recorded within the framework of semi-structured interviews according to Mayring; afterwards the transcriptions from the interviews were evaluated based on the principles of Objective Hermeneutics according to Oevermann. The results found were the following: (i)Those students with an inappropriate understanding of the nature of a mathematical proof tend to believe in an implicit ability of the DGE to prove statements - an ability which is known to be non-existent. (ii) Those students with little or no experience with the drag mode display technical cognitive (!) problems in using it. In general, the results of earlier studies have been confirmed, according to which the undeniable didactic potential of DGE will in no way realize by itself.Tag der Verteidigung: 01.10.2014Paderborn, Univ., Diss., 201
Der Einzug der Mathematik in die Bildungspläne der höheren Mädchenschulen zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts
No full textBis zum Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde in (höheren) Mädchenschulen keine Mathematik, sondern nur Rechnen gelehrt. Ein Zugang zur Berechtigung - dem Abitur nach heutigem Sprachgebrauch - und somit ein Zugang zum Studium, war nicht vorgesehen. Im Vortrag wird dargelegt, wie sich dieses - auch aufgrund der starken Bestrebungen der Frauenbewegung - änderte und welche Inhalte in die Lehrpläne für Mädchen aufgenommen wurden. Gleichzeitig wird thematisiert, welche Schwierigkeiten sich in diesem Prozess ergaben und mit welchen Vorurteilen die Mädchen zu kämpfen hatten

No full textNeue Wege im Mathematikunterricht – Auf den Spuren Mathilde Vaertings
No full textIn der Zeit der Reformpädagogik kamen viele Ansätze auf, (Mathematik-) Unterricht zu verändern und zu verbessern. Prominente Pädagog*innen aus dieser Zeit, wie beispielsweise Gaudig, Kerschensteiner oder Montessori, sind auch heute noch bekannt. Mathilde Vaerting (1884–1977) hingegen wird mit den reformpädagogischen Ideen der damaligen Zeit eher nicht in Zusammenhang gebracht, sondern, wenn überhaupt, aus der Gender-Perspektive in den Fokus genommen (Kraul, 1999; Naumann, 2001). Dabei sind ihre Ideen zur Verbesserung des Mathematikunterrichts nicht nur aus damaliger Sicht revolutionär, sondern auch aus heutiger Perspektive höchst interessant. Zudem ist Vaerting eine bemerkenswerte Persönlichkeit: Zum einen ist sie Deutschlands erste Professorin für Erziehungswissenschaften auf einem Lehrstuhl, der eigens für die akademische Ausbildung von Volksschullehrer*innen an der Universität Jena eingerichtet wurde. Zum anderen beruht ihr Werk „Neue Wege im mathematischen Unterricht“ (1921) auf ihren Erfahrungen als Lehrerin an Mädchenschulen. Und das zu einer Zeit, in der – von zumeist männlichen Protagonisten – darüber diskutiert wurde, ob Frauen überhaupt eine mathematische Begabung vorzuweisen hätten, obwohl es Mathematik erst ab 1908 in den Lehrplänen der Mädchen gab. Da sich vor dem Hintergrund der „alten Wege“ im Mathematikunterricht das innovative Moment von Vaertings „neuen Wegen“ besser verstehen und einordnen lässt, folgt zunächst ein Blick in die Rahmenbedingungen der Mädchenbildung der damaligen Zeit
Der Begriff der Arbeitsschule im Mathematikunterricht
No full textZur Zeit der Reformpädagogik um die Wende vom 19. ins 20. Jahrhundert kamen zahlreiche Ideen auf, Mathematikunterricht zu verbessern. Viele der Forderungen, wie "Pädagogik vom Kinde aus", sind sicherlich immer noch einsichtig, während das ebenfalls populäre Schlagwort des "Arbeitsschulunterrichts" vermutlich weniger Assoziationen hervorruft.
Im Vortrag werden verschiedene Definitionen unterschiedlicher Protagonisten sowie deren konkreten Vorschläge für die Umsetzung des Arbeitsschulunterrichts in Unterrichtsbeispielen vorgestellt, um aufzuzeigen, welch große Bandbreite der Begriff inne hatte
