Algebraisches Denken im Arithmetikunterricht der Grundschule: Muster entdecken – Strukturen verstehen (Mathematik Primarstufe und Sekundarstufe I + II)
by Kathrin Akinwunmi Anna Susanne SteinwegDieses Buch thematisiert algebraisches Denken in der Grundschule als wesentlichen Kern der übergreifenden Leitidee „Muster, Strukturen und funktionaler Zusammenhang“ in den aktuellen KMK-Bildungsstandards.Für algebraische Lehr-Lernprozesse ist eine Unterscheidung zwischen sichtbaren Mustern und allgemeinen Strukturen wesentlich; eine solche wird hier vorgelegt und an vielen Beispielen konkretisiert: Muster machen aufmerksam und lassen neugierig werden. Die Suche nach Begründungen des Musters erwartet, die Tür zu dahinterliegenden Strukturen zu öffnen. Strukturen, d. h. die mathematischen Eigenschaften und Relationen, können so als ursächlich für die Regelmäßigkeit des Musters erkannt werden.Für die unterrichtliche Förderung und gezielte Unterstützung der algebraischen Denkentwicklung werden in diesem Buch einerseits Grundideen algebraischen Denkens für den Arithmetikunterricht ausgearbeitet und andererseits Prinzipien für Unterricht zu algebraischen Grundideen und ihr Zusammenspiel mit prozessbezogenen, allgemeinen Kompetenzen erläutert. Den vier algebraischen Grundideen folgend werden vielfältige, didaktisch aufbereitete Anregungen zur praktischen Umsetzung sowie jeweils entsprechendes Hintergrundwissen angeboten.Das Buch richtet sich an Lehramtsstudierende, an angehende und bereits praktizierende Lehrkräfte sowie an Personen, die in der Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung tätig sind.

Status Quo: Legasthenie oder Dyskalkulie im Tertiärbereich Studium (Higher Education Research and Science Studies)
by Henrike SchmidtchenMenschen mit Legasthenie und Dyskalkulie sind an deutschen Hochschulen stark unterrepräsentiert und die Forschung zu diesem Thema ist rar. Eine gleichberechtigte und diskriminierungsfreie Teilhabe von Studierenden mit studienerschwerenden Beeinträchtigungen gemäß der UN-Behindertenrechtskonventionen kann durch die Hochschulen allerdings nur sichergestellt werden, wenn wissenschaftlich fundierte Ergebnisse in den Prozess bis hin zur 2009 von der Hochschulrektorenkonferenz geforderten „Hochschule für alle“ einfließen. In diesem Buch wird untersucht, wie sich der Tertiärbereich Studium in der Bildungskarriere von Personen mit den Teilleistungsstörungen Legasthenie oder Dyskalkulie gestaltet und gibt damit erstmals einen Überblick über den Status Quo dieser Studierendengruppe. Die inhaltlich-strukturierende qualitative Inhaltsanalyse zeigt, dass Studierende mit Legasthenie und Dyskalkulie bereits hilfreiche individuelle Ressourcen beispielsweise in Form von Lern- und Copingstrategien nutzen und auch den an Hochschulen gesetzlich-verankerten Nachteilsausgleich teils als unterstützend empfinden. Dennoch sind die befragten Studierenden - nicht zuletzt durch die Covid-19-Pandemie – auf diversen Ebenen mit verschiedensten Herausforderungen konfrontiert, die zu psychischer Belastung und Studienerschwernissen führen können.

Minds on Fire: How Role-Immersion Games Transform College
by Mark C. CarnesA Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the YearIn Minds on Fire, Mark C. Carnes shows how role-immersion games channel students’ competitive (and sometimes mischievous) impulses into transformative learning experiences. His discussion is based on interviews with scores of students and faculty who have used a pedagogy called Reacting to the Past, which features month-long games set during the French Revolution, Galileo’s trial, the partition of India, and dozens of other epochal moments in disciplines ranging from art history to the sciences. These games have spread to over three hundred campuses around the world, where many of their benefits defy expectations.“[Minds on Fire is] Carnes’s beautifully written apologia for this fascinating and powerful approach to teaching and learning in higher education. If we are willing to open our minds and explore student-centered approaches like Reacting [to the Past], we might just find that the spark of student engagement we have been searching for in higher education’s mythical past can catch fire in the classrooms of the present.”—James M. Lang, Chronicle of Higher Education“This book is a highly engaging and inspirational study of a ‘new’ technique that just might change the way educators bring students to learning in the 21st century.”—D. D. Bouchard, Choice
Stylish Academic Writing
by Helen SwordElegant data and ideas deserve elegant expression, argues Helen Sword in this lively guide to academic writing. For scholars frustrated with disciplinary conventions, and for specialists who want to write for a larger audience but are unsure where to begin, here are imaginative, practical, witty pointers that show how to make articles and books a pleasure to read—and to write.Dispelling the myth that you cannot get published without writing wordy, impersonal prose, Sword shows how much journal editors and readers welcome work that avoids excessive jargon and abstraction. Sword’s analysis of more than a thousand peer-reviewed articles across a wide range of fields documents a startling gap between how academics typically describe good writing and the turgid prose they regularly produce.Stylish Academic Writing showcases a range of scholars from the sciences, humanities, and social sciences who write with vividness and panache. Individual chapters take up specific elements of style, such as titles and headings, chapter openings, and structure, and close with examples of transferable techniques that any writer can master.
The Young Professional’s Survival Guide: From Cab Fares to Moral Snares
by C. K. GunsalusImagine yourself in your new job, doing your best to make a good impression—and your boss asks you to do something that doesn’t feel right, like fudge a sales report, or lie to a customer. You have no idea how to handle the situation, and your boss is hovering. When you’re caught off guard, under pressure from someone more powerful, it’s easy to make a mistake. And having made one, it’s easier to rationalize the next one.The Young Professional’s Survival Guide shows how to avoid these traps in the first place, and how to work through them if you can’t avoid them. Many of the problems that arise in the workplace are predictable. C. K. Gunsalus, a nationally recognized expert on professional ethics, uses short, pungent real-world examples to help people new to the work world recognize the situations that can lead to career-damaging missteps—and prevent them. Gunsalus offers questions to ask yourself (and others) to help you recognize trouble and temptation, sample scripts to use to avoid being pressured into doing something you’ll regret, and guidance in handling disputes fairly and diplomatically. Most of all, she emphasizes, choose your mentors for their characters as well as their titles and talents.You can’t control the people around you, but you can control what you do. Reliance on a few key habits and a professional persona, Gunsalus shows, can help you advance with class, even in what looks like a “casual” workplace.
