Since adult education academia, research, and practice is closely intertwined with global and international de- velopments, there is a need for adult education programmes to prepare their students for these interconnections. This can be examined in the context of international teaching and learning settings that integrate international, inter- cultural, or global perspectives into teaching and learning and are part of the internationalisation efforts of higher education. The focus of this international and comparative study is on how international teaching and learning settings contribute to the academic professionalisation in adult education in three mas- ter's programmes with a focus on adult education at the University of W{\"u}rzburg (Germany), University of Belgrade (Serbia) and University of Florence (Italy). International teaching and learning settings are examined on the structural and individual level of academic professionalisation. The aim is to explore the provision of international teaching and learning settings in the master's pro- grammes on the one hand, and to analyse the contribution of international teach- ing and learning settings to the development of students' professionalism on the other. For this purpose, three focus group interviews with programme heads, (academic) staff, and students as well as 22 guided interviews with graduates of the three master's programmes at the three university locations are collected and analysed in an international and comparative study design. The study reveals similarities and differences in the forms, framework con- ditions, and goals of international teaching and learning settings between the three master's programmes. Overarching contexts that guide the internationalisation of the master's programmes become apparent (e.g. education and higher education policy, internationalisation of the university, programme structure). The triangulation of the interview data of the graduates shows that the interna- tional environment, the structural arrangement, and the practical relevance of the international teaching and learning settings support the development of the graduates' professionalism. The results underline the relevance of international teaching and learning settings for the development of professionalism in adult education and point to the requirement for a systematic and comprehensive in- ternationalisation of adult education programmes.}, subject = {Erwachsenenbildung}, language = {en} } @book{Riva2024, author = {Riva, Nepomuk}, title = {Teilnehmende Betonungen : Schl{\"u}sselszenen musikethnologischer Feldarbeit}, publisher = {W{\"u}rzburg University Press}, address = {W{\"u}rzburg}, isbn = {978-3-95826-246-1}, doi = {10.25972/WUP-978-3-95826-247-8}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-351057}, publisher = {W{\"u}rzburg University Press}, pages = {v, 120}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Teilnehmende Beobachtungen geh{\"o}ren zum grundlegenden Handwerkszeug musikethnologischer Feldforschung.

This paper examines this challenge in the context of simulations and mathematical modelling with digital tools: in addition to mathematical difficulties when autonomously working out individual solutions, students may also experience challenges when using digital tools. These challenges need to be closely examined and diagnosed, and might - if necessary - have to be overcome by intervention in such a way that the students can subsequently continue working independently. Thus, if a difficulty arises in the working process, two knowledge dimensions are necessary in order to provide adapted support to students. For teaching simulations and mathematical modelling with digital tools, more specifically, these knowledge dimensions are: pedagogical content knowledge about simulation and modelling processes supported by digital tools (this includes knowledge about phases and difficulties in the working process) and pedagogical content knowledge about interventions during the mentioned processes (focussing on characteristics of suitable interventions as well as their implementation and effects on the students' working process). The two knowledge dimensions represent cognitive dispositions as the basis for the conceptualisation and operationalisation of a so-called adaptive intervention competence for teaching simulations and mathematical modelling with digital tools. In our article, we present a domain-specific process model and distinguish different types of teacher interventions. Then we describe the design and content of a university course at two German universities aiming to promote this domain-specific professional adaptive intervention competence, among others. In a study using a quasi-experimental pre-post design (N = 146), we confirm that the structure of cognitive dispositions of adaptive intervention competence for teaching simulations and mathematical modelling with digital tools can be described empirically by a two-dimensional model. In addition, the effectiveness of the course is examined and confirmed quantitatively. Finally, the results are discussed, especially against the background of the sample and the research design, and conclusions are derived for possibilities of promoting professional adaptive intervention competence in university courses.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Beer2022, author = {Beer, Stephanie}, title = {Haushunde als Erziehungsmittel im Internat.

However, in virtual reality (VR), there are few systematically and empirically derived databases. This paper proposes the first collection of virtual objects based on empirical evaluation for inter-and transcultural encounters between English- and German-speaking learners. We used explicit and implicit measurement methods to identify cultural associations and the degree of stereotypical perception for each virtual stimuli (n = 293) through two online studies, including native German and English-speaking participants. The analysis resulted in a final well-describable database of 128 objects (called InteractionSuitcase). In future applications, the objects can be used as a great interaction or conversation asset and behavioral measurement tool in social VR applications, especially in the field of foreign language education. For example, encounters can use the objects to describe their culture, or teachers can intuitively assess stereotyped attitudes of the encounters.}, language = {en} } @article{Franz2022, author = {Franz, David J.}, title = {Is Applied Ethics Morally Problematic?}, series = {Journal of Academic Ethics}, volume = {20}, journal = {Journal of Academic Ethics}, issn = {1572-8544}, doi = {10.1007/s10805-021-09417-1}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-269095}, pages = {359-374}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This paper argues that applied ethics can itself be morally problematic. As illustrated by the case of Peter Singer's criticism of social practice, morally loaded communication by applied ethicists can lead to protests, backlashes, and aggression. By reviewing the psychological literature on self-image, collective identity, and motivated reasoning three categories of morally problematic consequences of ethical criticism by applied ethicists are identified: serious psychological discomfort, moral backfiring, and hostile conflict. The most worrisome is moral backfiring: psychological research suggests that ethical criticism of people's central moral convictions can reinforce exactly those attitudes. Therefore, applied ethicists unintentionally can contribute to a consolidation of precisely those social circumstances that they condemn to be unethical. Furthermore, I argue that the normative concerns raised in this paper are not dependent on the commitment to one specific paradigm in moral philosophy. Utilitarianism, Aristotelian virtue ethics, and Rawlsian contractarianism all provide sound reasons to take morally problematic consequences of ethical criticism seriously. Only the case of deontological ethics is less clear-cut. Finally, I point out that the issues raised in this paper provide an excellent opportunity for further interdisciplinary collaboration between applied ethics and social sciences.

The influence of digital preferences on learning progress is examined and compared with the influence of fascination levels. A negative correlation between spending time outside in nature and spending time inside in front of a digital device is expected. A control group completed a learning unit about biological topics such as plant identification and environmental factors, as well as ESE topics such as characteristics of sustainable agriculture, at an out-of-school ESE center. The experimental group completed the same learning unit in distance teaching. Fascination with Biology (FBio) and Digital Nativity Assessment Scale (DNAS) were applied in addition to a customized knowledge test. Both values seem to have a positive impact on learning outcomes. There were no significant differences between the control and experimental group. Surprisingly, Fascination and Digital Nativity show a low, if not negligible, relationship.
