The Ultimate Marine Recruit Training Guidebook: A Drill Instructor’s Strategies & Tactics for Success
by Nick PopaditchThe transition from civilian to that of a Marine is a process unlike any other in any branch of the military. As any potential recruit can imagine, Marine recruit training is difficult and challenging. Its purpose is to mold a Marine from the inside out. Nick “Gunny Pop” Popaditch is best known as the “Cigar Marine” and author of Once a Marine, a candid memoir about his service as a tank commander in Iraq, his horrific wounding in the first battle of Fallujah (where he was hit in the head by a rocket-propelled grenade), and his long and difficult recovery. Gunny Pop has experienced the Marine recruit training process from both perspectives: as a new recruit and as a drill instructor. This new book brings together his nearly 16 years of Marine Corps expertise. The Ultimate Marine Recruit Training Guidebook is a comprehensive, practical, and easy-to-follow guide written specifically for every new or prospective recruit about to enter basic training. Gunny Pop offers step-by-step instructions and solutions, including helpful charts and graphics, for how to prepare both physically and mentally for boot camp. Written by a Marine who experienced it firsthand many times over, Gunny Pop explores what recruits will be asked to do (and in many cases, explain why) and the motivating forces behind drill instructor lessons and behavior. The Ultimate Marine Recruit Training Guidebook was written by a Marine and former drill instructor for young men and women who want to become one of the few and the proud. No one should undertake Marine recruit training without having read this book. About the Author: From East Chicago, Indiana, Nick Popaditch enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1986. He was wounded while commanding a tank in Fallujah (Iraq) in 2004 and medically retired from the Marines in 2005 at the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. “Gunny” and his wife April have two children, Richard and Nicholas. They reside in Chula Vista, California.

Umgang mit Fehlern und seine Bedeutung für den Lernerfolg im Englischunterricht
by Julia KäferDie Arbeit widmet sich dem Umgang mit Fehlern im Unterricht und untersucht empirisch seine Bedeutung für den Lernerfolg von Schülerinnen und Schülern im Fach Englisch der Sekundarstufe I. Hierzu wird ein multiperspektivischer Untersuchungsansatz verfolgt: Neben der Perspektive der Schülerinnen und Schüler werden auch Einschätzungen externer Beobachterinnen und Beobachter zum Umgang mit Fehlern im Unterricht herangezogen. Unter Berücksichtigung des aktuellen theoretischen und methodischen Forschungsstandes wird damit einerseits der Zusammenhang zwischen der Wahrnehmung von Schülerinnen und Schülern zum Umgang mit Fehlern im Unterricht und ihrer Leistung wie auch ihrer Lernmotivation untersucht und gleichzeitig geprüft, inwieweit die Schülerwahrnehmung durch individuelle Schülermerkmale sowie durch Merkmale des Lernkontexts beeinflusst wird. Andererseits wird in dieser Arbeit das Potenzial der in der empirischen Unterrichtsforschung bislang wenig eingesetzten Thin-Slices-Methode exploriert und geprüft, inwieweit heuristische Urteile externer Beobachterinnen und Beobachter geeignet sind, um ein so spezifisches und komplexes Unterrichtsmerkmal wie den Umgang mit Fehlern zuverlässig zu erfassen.
