Wirksamkeit einer Lehrkräftefortbildung: Integrierendes Rahmenmodell und empirische Befunde zur berufsbezogenen Interessenentwicklung

by Anja Heinrich-Dönges

Schule ist ein Ort des Lernens der Schüler*innen, aber auch der Lehrer*innen. Professionelle Praktiker*innen verändern ihr unterrichtliches Denken und Handeln nicht aufgrund einmaliger Nachmittags-Fortbildungen, sondern in komplexen und vielschichtigen Reflexions- und Erprobungsprozessen, begleitet durch längerfristige umsetzungsorientierte Fortbildungen. Die bislang wenig befriedigende Befundlage der Wirksamkeitsforschung wird in dieser Arbeit in einem integrierenden Ansatz der Wirksamkeit von Lehrkräftefortbildung strukturiert und ein mehrdimensionales Rahmenmodell der Wirksamkeit von Lehrkräftefortbildung skizziert. Mit der berufsbezogenen Interessenentwicklung von Lehrkräften im Kontext von Fortbildung fokussiert die Arbeit bislang in der Wirksamkeitsforschung noch wenig berücksichtigte motivationale Orientierungen. Drei Fortbildungsszenarien differenzieren Zugänge wirksamer Lehrkräftefortbildungen zu Schulen mit unterschiedlichen Kooperationsformen in einer theoretisch rahmenden Konklusion der Arbeit. Eine konkrete Checkliste überführt diese drei Szenarien wirksamer Lehrkräftefortbildung in konkrete Planungs- und Reflexionshilfen für Praktiker*innen in der Fortbildung.

Wirtschaftspsychologische Grundlagen für Personalmanagement: Fach- und Lehrbuch zur modernen Personalarbeit

by Michael Treier

Eine moderne Personalarbeit kann es sich in Anbetracht der Herausforderungen der Arbeit 4.0, des demografischen Wandels und Fachkräftemangels nicht leisten, Personal nur zu verwalten, denn der Mensch avanciert zum Potenzial- und Wertschöpfungsträger. Personalarbeit transformiert sich deshalb zum Gestalter mit dem erklärten Ziel, das organisationale Verhalten des Personals zielgerichtet zu beeinflussen. Personalmanagement und Wirtschaftspsychologie treten dabei als Gespann auf, um die knappen und wertvollen Humanressourcen im Spannungsfeld zwischen ökonomischen und sozialen Zielen zu erhalten und zu fördern. Viele „Nicht-Wirtschaftspsychologen“ im Personalbereich stehen vor der Herausforderung, psychologische Methoden und Instrumente in ihr Aufgabenportfolio zu integrieren. Dieses systematisch und didaktisch klar aufgebaute Fach- und Lehrbuch greift die Herausforderung auf, wirtschaftspsychologische Themen im Personalmanagement entlang der Wertschöpfungskette der Personalarbeit theoretisch fundiert und praxisnah zu platzieren. Auf jeder Station der Personalarbeit - von der Planung bis zur Freisetzung - werden Ihnen personalwirtschaftliche Grundlagen und wirtschaftspsychologische Bausteine vorgestellt, anschaulich erklärt und verknüpft. Zu den Herausforderungen der Zeit wie Digitalisierung, flexible Arbeitszeitmodelle und Wertewandel bietet es Ihnen hilfreiche Beispiele und Tipps. Zusätzlich gibt es Arbeits- und Informationsmaterialien Online zum Download.Die Zielgruppen Personalverantwortliche, Führungskräfte und Berater sowie Wissenschaftler und Studierende im Bereich Personalmanagement und Wirtschaftspsychologie, die Personal als wertschaffende Ressource wertschätzen.

The Wisdom Books: A Translation with Commentary

by Robert Alter

First time in paperback: "One of the most ambitious literary projects of this or any age."--Adam Kirsch, New Republic Here in Robert Alter's bold new translation are some of the most magnificent works in world literature. The astounding poetry in the Book of Job is restored to its powerful ancient meanings and rhythms. The creation account in its Voice from the Whirlwind is beautiful and incendiary. By contrast, a serene fatalism suffuses Ecclesiastes with a quiet beauty, and the pithy maxims of Proverbs impart a worldly wisdom that is satirically shrewd. Each of these books addresses the universal wisdom that the righteous thrive and the wicked suffer in a rational moral order; together they are essential to the ancient canon that is the Hebrew Bible.

Wisdom Discourse in the Ancient World

by Sara De Martin Anna Lucia Furlan

This book moves beyond the debate on ‘wisdom literature’, ongoing in biblical studies, to demonstrate the productivity of ‘wisdom’ as a literary category. Featuring work by scholars of Egyptology, classics, biblical and Near Eastern studies, it offers fresh perspectives on what makes a text ‘wisdom’.This interdisciplinary volume widens the scope of the investigation into ‘wisdom literature’, chronologically, geographically, and methodologically. Readers are given insights into how the label ‘wisdom’ contributes to our understanding of diverse literary forms across time periods and cultural contexts. In the volume’s introduction, the editors consider ‘wisdom’ as a ‘discourse’, shifting the focus from the debate on whether ‘wisdom literature’ is a genre to the properties of the texts, namely exploring what makes a text ‘wisdom’. This offers a methodological backdrop against which the diverse approaches of the single authors productively coexist. The chapters examine texts that are the products of different ancient cultures, with several of them bridging diverse cultural, social, and chronological contexts. By sampling how different methodologies interact both within individual interpretative efforts and in wider attempts to understand cross-cultural literary phenomena, this volume also contributes new perspectives to the scholarship on ancient literary genres.Wisdom Discourse in the Ancient World will interest both students and scholars of the ancient Near East, Egyptology, classical studies, biblical studies, and theology and religious studies, particularly those working on wisdom literature in antiquity. It will also appeal to readers with an interest in comparative approaches and genre studies more broadly.

Wisdom for Faithful Reading: Principles and Practices for Old Testament Interpretation

by John H. Walton

The church has too often lost its way in reading the Old Testament for lack of sound principles of interpretation. When careless habits get us off track, we can lose sight of what the Bible is really saying, derailing our own spiritual growth and even risking discredit to God’s word. We need a consistent approach to give us confidence as faithful interpreters. In Wisdom for Faithful Reading, the trusted Old Testament scholar John Walton lays out his tried-and-true best practices developed over four decades in the classroom. His principles are memorable, practical, and enlightening, including: The Bible is written for us, but not to us. Reading the Bible instinctively is not reliable and risks imposing a foreign perspective on the text. More important than what the characters do is what the narrator does with the characters and what God is doing through the characters. Not everything has a "biblical view." Along with identifying common missteps, Walton's insights point the way to stay focused on what the Old Testament text communicated to its original audience—and what it has to say for us today. When we submit ourselves to be accountable to the authors' intentions we experience the true authority of Scripture, and faithful reading fuels a faithful life. Using numerous examples across the breadth of the Old Testament and its genres, Walton equips thoughtful Christians to read more knowledgeably, to pay attention to God’s plans and purposes, to recognize good interpretations, and to truly live in light of Scripture. You may never read the Old Testament the same way again.

Wisdom in the University

by Ronald Barnett Nicholas Maxwell

This provocative and challenging book questions how people think about what universities should seek to do and how they should respond to the grave problems of our age. It addresses issues such as: What is wisdom? Ought universities to seek, promote and teach wisdom and what would this involve? Does it mean we need a revolution in the aims and methods of academic inquiry? What implications would the pursuit of wisdom have for science, for social inquiry and the humanities, for education? Is it reasonable to ask of universities that they take up the task of helping humanity learn how to create a wiser world? Is there a religious dimension to wisdom? What can non-academics do to encourage universities to take wisdom seriously? Would the pursuit of wisdom be possible given that universities are increasingly subjected to commercial pressures? With contributions from leading experts in various fields Wisdom in the University is essential reading for all those interested in the future of universities and philosophy of education.This book was previously published as a special issue of London Review of Education

Wisdom, Knowledge, and the Postcolonial University in Thailand (Postcolonial Studies in Education)

by Zane Ma Rhea

This book examines Thai knowledge and wisdom from the perspective of postmodern, postcolonial globalization. Ma Rhea explores the ways in which the Thai university system attempts to balance old knowledge traditions, Buddhist and rural, with new Thai and imported knowledge. It traces the development of Thai university partnerships with outsiders, focusing on the seventy year relationship between Thailand and Australia. In comparison, it analyses the old Thai Buddhist wisdom tradition and in the final chapters proposes its worthiness as a pedagogical pathway for universities globally.

The Wisdom Literature: Interpreting Biblical Texts Series (Interpreting Biblical Texts)

by Richard J. Clifford

In this volume, Richard J. Clifford seeks to make the biblical wisdom literature intelligible to modern readers. It is easy to quote the occasional proverb, say a few things about "the problem of evil" in Job, or quote "vanity of vanities, " but far more rewarding to read the whole book with an appreciative and informed eye. Opening chapters of The Wisdom Literature comment on the striking similarities between ancient and modern "wisdom literature" and on the comparable literature from ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Canaan. Thereafter, a chapter is devoted to each biblical wisdom book (Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Sirach, and Wisdom of Solomon), studying not only its content but also its rhetoric -- how it engages the reader.

Wisdom Literature: Job, Proverbs, Ruth, Canticles, Ecclesiastes, and Esther (The Forms of the Old Testament Literature)

by Roland E. Murphy

Murphy sees three of the six books (Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes) as being technically 'wisdom literature.' The others are either love poems or historical narrative that fit well within the context of the subject presented here. In this volume previous form-critical work is carefully evaluated, and the result is a thorough-going form-critical treatment of this part of the Old Testament. The work is enhanced by bibliographies for each Old Testament book and a glossary of general terms.

The Wisdom of Balahvar: A Christian Legend of the Buddha (David Marshall Lang's Journey from Russia to Armenia via Caucasian Georgia #3)

by David Marshall Lang

Originally published in 1957 and forming a companion volume to The Balavariani, this volume provides valuable research into the biography of Gautama Buddha and its influence on medieval Christian thought. This work, the romance of Barlaam and Josaphat, was included by Caxton in The Golden Legend and inspired the episode of the Caskets in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice; its heroes were venerated as Saints. Over a century ago, however, the legend was finally identified as an adaptation of episodes from the life and ministry of the Buddha. The first part of the book is devoted to tracing the development and migration of the Barlaam and Josaphat legend from its original Buddhist environment to the West. The second part is a translation of the Georgian text – the first published in any Western European language. The volume therefore gives one of the oldest Near Eastern versions of the story.

The Wisdom of Ben-Sira (Ecclesiasticus)

by Washington Leslie Gladden

The Book of Sirach is a Jewish work, originally in Hebrew, of ethical teachings, from approximately 200 to 175 BC, written by the Judahite scribe Ben Sira of Jerusalem, on the inspiration of his father Joshua son of Sirach, sometimes called Jesus son of Sirach or Yeshua ben Eliezer ben Sira.In Egypt, it was translated into Greek by the author's unnamed grandson, who added a prologue. This prologue is generally considered the earliest witness to a canon of the books of the prophets, and thus the date of the text is the subject of intense scrutiny. The book itself is the largest wisdom book from antiquity to have survived.-Wiki

The Wisdom of Proverbs, Job and Ecclesiastes

by Derek Kidner

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." In the Wisdom literature of the Bible we first hear the cool voice of a teacher calling us to think--to think hard and humbly. "How long will fools hate knowledge?" cries Wisdom in the book of Proverbs. Then in Job comes the anguished voice of the questioner, earnest enough to seek answers, honest enough to doubt easy ones. In Ecclesiastes the chastened tone of the Preacher warns of the vanity of all life under the sun. Sensitive to both literary form and theological content, Derek Kidner introduces Proverbs, Job and Ecclesiastes, explaining their basic character and internal structure. He also summarizes and evaluates the wealth of modern criticism focused on each book. Looking at all three books together, Kidner shows how their many voices compare, contrast and ultimately give a unified view of life. Kidner extends his analysis to include Ecclesiasticus and The Wisdom of Solomon from the Apocrapha, and he reprints excerpts from non-Israelite works that parallel the three major books treated.
