Theoretisches Philosophieren und Lebensweltorientierung: Ein Wegweiser für Hochschule und Schule (Philosophische Bildung in Schule und Hochschule)
by Philipp Mayr Bettina BussmannDie globalen Veränderungen fordern unser Wissen über die Welt und über uns selbst heraus. Der Klimawandel, die globale Covid-19-Pandemie und Konflikte um die Bedeutung wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse führen uns unweigerlich zu einer Vielzahl komplexer philosophischer Fragen. Dabei rücken verstärkt Themen der theoretischen Philosophie in den Vordergrund: Was ist eigentlich Wissen? Auf welche Informationen können wir uns verlassen? Ist die Wahrheit relativ? Was macht ExpertInnen aus? Was ist gute wissenschaftliche Praxis? Was bedeutet ‚evidenzbasiert‘? Welchen sozialen und globalen Einflüssen ist unser Wissenserwerb ausgesetzt? In der Ausbildung von Philosophie- und Ethikstudierenden gibt es oft eine große Scheu, Disziplinen wie Erkenntnistheorie und Wissenschaftsphilosophie zu erlernen und zu unterrichten. Zu abstrakt und lebensweltlich irrelevant, sagen viele. Dieses Buch soll diese Berührungsängste beseitigen helfen, indem die theoretischen Grundlagen auf die Probleme der Gegenwart angewendet und mit vielseitigen Methoden erschlossen werden. Zwei Ziele stehen im Vordergrund: Zum einen soll deutlich werden, dass die Beschäftigung mit theoretischer Philosophie für das persönliche und das gesellschaftliche Zusammenleben von zentraler Bedeutung ist. Zum anderen zeigen eine Reihe didaktischer Tools, wie man Lernende dabei aktiv in den Lernprozess miteinbezieht.

Theorie und Praxis des Mentalen Trainings in der Klavierpädagogik: Eine vergleichende Systematisierung methodischer Zugänge unter Einbeziehung sportwissenschaftlicher Studien
by Miho OhkiAuftrittsangst ist ein weit verbreitendes Phänomen unter Musikern. Das Ziel der Forschung ist, mit Hilfe der Sportpsychologie die Techniken des Mentalen Trainings für die Klavierpädagogik systematisch und praxisorientiert auszubauen. Den Kern der Arbeit bilden folgende drei Forschungsfragen: 1. Welche Methoden des Mentalen Trainings werden in den Bereichen von Musik und Sport angewendet? 2. Ist es möglich, die Methoden des Mentalen Trainings für Musikausübende anzuwenden und in den Klavierunterricht systematisch zu integrieren? 3. Kann eine regelmäßige Anwendung des Mentalen Trainings den Umgang mit der Auftrittsangst verbessern? Um die erste Frage zu beantworten, wird zuerst die Fachliteratur beider Bereiche (Musik und Sport) betrachtet. Danach werden die in beiden Disziplinen genutzten Methoden systematisiert und ausführlich dargestellt, um die Anwendbarkeit des Mentalen Trainings im musikalischen Bereich zu überprüfen und systematisch in den Klavierunterricht zu integrieren. Anschließend wird der Einsatz des Mentalen Trainings in der Klavierpädagogik anhand einer kleinen Studie untersucht und hinsichtlich seiner Effektivität ausgewertet.

Theorie-Praxis-Verzahnung im dualen Studium: Verstehen, gestalten, umsetzen
by Valeska Gerstung-Jungherr Ernst DeuerDie Theorie-Praxis-Verzahnung (TPV) ist das Markenzeichen des dualen Studiums – doch was sie genau ausmacht und wie sie optimal umgesetzt werden kann, ist oft unklar. Dieses Buch analysiert die TPV umfassend und entwickelt anwendungsorientierte Konzepte zur erfolgreichen Verbindung akademischer und berufspraktischer Bildung. Es definiert die theoretischen Grundlagen, Funktionen und Wirkmechanismen der TPV, zeigt konkrete Ansätze zur Einbindung in Studienstrukturen, Lehrpläne und Praxisphasen und gibt Hochschulen, Berufsakademien sowie dualen Partnern praxisorientierte Handlungsempfehlungen. Zugleich liefert es wertvolle Impulse für die Gestaltung praxisnaher Studienformate jenseits des dualen Studiums und trägt zur Diskussion um den Praxisbezug in der Hochschulbildung bei. Ein fundiertes Grundlagenwerk für alle, die TPV verstehen, weiterentwickeln und zukunftsfähig gestalten wollen.

Theories and Practices of Architectural Representation
by Mike ChristensonTheories and Practices of Architectural Representation focuses on the study of architectural knowledge approached through the lens of representation: the making of things-about-buildings. Architectural knowledge systems continue to shift away from traditional means, such as books and photographs, into modes dominated by digital technologies. This shift parallels earlier ones developed by craftspeople into the knowledge of painters and writers, or shifts from manually produced knowledge into the mode of photography and film. These historical shifts caused profound disruptions to established patterns, and in general the shift currently underway is no different. This book considers essential questions including: How does architecture become known? How is knowledge about architecture produced, structured, disseminated, and consumed? How in particular do historical patterns of knowledge production persist within contemporary culture and society? How are these patterns affected by changes in technology, and how does technology create new opportunities? These questions are examined through five chapters dealing with exemplary buildings and representational methods selected from worldwide locations including the United States, Japan, and Italy. Theories and Practices of Architectural Representation proposes that historical theories and practices of architectural representation remain distinct, robust, and uniquely viable within the context of rapidly changing technologies. It is an essential read for students of architectural theory of representation.

Theories in and of Mathematics Education
by Angelika Bikner-Ahsbahs Andreas Vohns Regina Bruder Oliver Schmitt Willi DörflerThis survey provides an overview of German meta-discourse on theories and mathematics education as a scientific discipline, from the 1970s to the 1990s. Two theory strands are offered: a semiotic view related to Peirce and Wittgenstein (presented by Willibald Dorfler), and the theory of learning activity by Joachim Lompscher (presented by Regina Bruder and Oliver Schmitt). By networking the two theoretical approaches in a case study of learning fractions, it clarifies the nature of the two theories, how they can be related to inform practice and renew TME-issues for mathematics education as a scientific discipline. Hans-Georg Steiner initiated the first of five international conferences on Theories of Mathematics Education (TME) to advance the founding of mathematics education as a scientific discipline, and subsequently German researchers have continued to focus on TME topics but within various theory strands.
