Eine empirisch-rekonstruktive Untersuchung zur Förderung der nonverbalen Kommunikation zwischen Teilnehmer und Hund T1 - Domestic dogs as a means of education in boarding school. An empirical-reconstructive study of the promotion of nonverbal communication between participant and dog N2 - Die Symbiose zwischen Mensch und Hund ist die wohl engste und zugleich auch älteste Verbindung zwischen Mensch und Natur. Dass Hunde als Rudeltiere vorurteilsfrei und ehrlich die bewusste Nähe zu Menschen suchen, wurde sich bereits im anglo-amerikanischen Raum im psychologisch-pädagogischen Bereich bedient. Im Internatsbereich der Caritas Don Bosco gGmbH, bei dem das Promotionsprojekt ein halbes Jahr stattgefunden hat, sind die jungen Menschen, die aufgrund einer physischen bzw. psychischen Teilhabeeinschränkung eine berufliche Reha-Maßnahme durchlaufen, untergebracht. Aufgrund des vorausgegangenen Versagens in ihrer vorigen (Bildungs-)Laufbahn, ihrer negativen Erfahrungen oder auch wegen ihrer Einschränkungen besitzen sie kaum bis keinerlei soziale Kompetenzen, die für ein späteres Leben in der Gesellschaft unerlässlich sind. Da das Tier mit keinerlei Erwartungshaltung an die Betroffenen herangeht, kann sich dies zunutze gemacht werden. Den jungen Menschen wird in diesem tiergestützten Trainingskonzept die Möglichkeit gegeben, in verschiedenen Übungsinteraktionen mit dem Hund ihr (non-)verbales Verhalten abzustimmen, um anschließend einen sozio-emotionalen Kompetenzzuwachs zu erlangen, der sich dann im Verlauf unterbewusst auf den zwischenmenschlichen Bereich transformieren lässt. In dieser Arbeit zeigt sich, inwieweit der eingesetzte Hund, den jungen Menschen als assistierendes Erziehungsmittel der pädagogischen Studienleiterin dabei helfen kann, über die positiven, nonverbalen Interaktionserfahrungen mit dem Tier einen sozio-emotionalen Kompetenzzuwachs zu erlangen. N2 - The symbiosis of man and dog is probably the closest and at the same time also the oldest connection between man and nature. Since dogs as group-living animals honestly and without prejudice look for the conscious proximity to humans, this fact was already used in the last century particularly in the Anglo-American area in the psychological as well as pedagogical field. Because of the beneficial health factor on humans, dogs were then quickly trained here for a wide variety of areas - such as guide dogs for the blind, assistance dogs or therapy dogs, to name just a few. The boarding house of Caritas Don Bosco gGmbH, where this PhD project took place during a period of six months, accommodates young people who – due to their physical or psychological participation restriction – undergo a vocational rehabilitation measure. Due to failures in their previous (educational) career and because of their negative experiences or even social inability, many young people have little to no socio-emotional skills that are essential for living in a social as well as professional community. As the animal approaches the people concerned with no expectations, this unbiased behaviour can be taken advantage of. The dog, which reacts completely naturally to the behaviour of its counterpart, functions here as a means of education. The young people are thus given the opportunity to adjust their (non-)verbal behaviour in various practice interactions with the dog, in order to subsequently achieve an increase in socio-emotional competence, which can then be subconsciously applied to the interpersonal sphere. In order to obtain meaningful nonverbal micro-educational moments between the participant and the dog, which form the justification of the educational tool dog, the videos made during the training were analyzed with a reconstructive approach. This shows the extent to which the dog concerned can function as an assisting educational tool KW - nonverbal KW - tiergestützte KW - soziale Kompetenz KW - Erziehungsmittel KW - Förderung KW - Trainingskonzept KW - sozio-emotionale Kompetenz KW - Kommunikation Y1 - 2022 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-287734 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Hein, Rebecca M.

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.

T1 - Is Applied Ethics Morally Problematic? JF - Journal of Academic Ethics N2 - 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. I also propose strategies for communicating ethics effectively.

T1 - Closing the gap: potentials of ESE distance teaching JF - Sustainability N2 - Environmental and sustainability education (ESE) traditionally relies on green teaching environments and active participation. Thus, during the lockdown phase, a gap between curricular goals and learning outcomes appeared. This study investigates the impact of ESE distance teaching on 288 Bavarian fifth-graders and learning factors that could bridge this gap. 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. Implications for digital ESE, especially between outdoor learning centers and schools, are discussed.

In an evolving school system, the existing special schools keep struggling to justify their existence. This study investigates the regional distribution effects based on official school data and shows the influence of a pull effect on special schools as a distance effect of special schools affecting the placement of students. For this purpose, official school statistics including all students at special and regular schools in the years 2010, 2015 and 2020 (N = 11 280 040) are evaluated in a spatiotemporal comparison using Educational Data Mining. In a hierarchical regression model on school placement in inclusive schools, the distance between primary and special schools has the highest influence (β = 0.48) on the inclusion rate (i.e., the proportion of students with special needs who are educated in regular schools in relation to all students with disabilities), along with the size (β = −0.14) and the density of special schools in a district (β = −0.12). The effects differ according to the population density of the region and are stronger in large cities. When the proportion of students with and without SEN in regular schools is considered (support rate), the density of special schools has the greatest impact on school placement (ß = 43.44). Self‐preservation of schools, traditional funding systems and regional differences between urban and rural areas are discussed as possible reasons.

Thus, there is a need to educate students in these subjects to meet the current and future demands of personal life and society. While applications, especially in science, engineering, and technology, are directly obvious, mathematics underpins the other STEM disciplines. It is recognized that mathematics is the foundation for all other STEM disciplines; the role of mathematics in classrooms is not clear yet. Therefore, the question arises: What is the current role of mathematics in secondary STEM classrooms? To answer this question, we conducted a systematic literature review based on three publication databases (Web of Science, ERIC, and EBSCO Teacher Referral Center). This literature review paper is intended to contribute to the current state of the role of mathematics in STEM education in secondary classrooms. Through the search, starting with 1910 documents, only 14 eligible documents were found. In these, mathematics is often seen as a minor matter and a means to an end in the eyes of science educators. From this, we conclude that the role of mathematics in the STEM classroom should be further strengthened. Overall, the paper highlights a major research gap, and proposes possible initial solutions to close it.

Die hier vorgestellte quantitative Studie gibt einen Einblick, mit welchen mediendidaktischen Überzeugungen und motivationalen Orientierungen als zentrale und handlungsrelevante Bereiche professioneller Kompetenz Studierende der Grundschuldidaktik (N = 344) ins Lehramtsstudium starten, wie diese Konstrukte miteinander in Verbindung stehen und welche Prädiktoren dafür identifiziert werden können. In der Befragung wird das Tablet als exemplarisches digitales Endgerät gewählt.

N2 - The media pedagogical competence of future teachers for primary education has hardly been explored yet. Moreover, it requires specific approaches. In this article, we present a quantitative study with students who aim to become teachers for primary education at the beginning of their teaching studies (N = 344). We provide an overview of their media didactical beliefs and motivational orientations as central and action-relevant areas of professional competence. We furthermore show how these concepts are related to each other and identify predictors for our constructs of investigation. In the study, the tablet was chosen as an exemplary digital device. The results show that prospective teachers consider themselves to be competent in using the tablet and have a positive attitude toward the use of tablets in the classroom, whereas they view them critically in the context of initial instruction.
