Seeking sustainability competence and capability in the ESD and HESD literature: an international philosophical hermeneutic analysis     

Kerry Shephard  Marco Rieckmann  Matthias Barth 《Environmental Education Research》2019,25(4):532-547

Education for sustainable development (ESD) and higher education for sustainable development (HESD) are complex, multidisciplinary fields of enquiry, drawing on concepts and terms from different disciplines and languages. Although the fields are advancing in their acceptability within educational systems worldwide, they are currently struggling to achieve sought-after graduate and societal outcomes such as environmentally-responsible or sustainability-focussed-citizenship. The research described in this article explores the possibility that miscommunication or misunderstanding of basic concepts within these fields is contributing to slow progress towards their objectives. We used a philosophical hermeneutic analysis to explore how the terms ‘competence’ and ‘capability’ are used within selected ESD/HESD papers. We identify substantial internal contradictions and inconsistencies with respect to differences between learners’ abilities and their willingness to perform these abilities, and to the educational context in which these outcomes are sought. We emphasise the importance of linking educational objectives with pedagogical approaches to teaching and assessment.  相似文献

Testing Measurement Equivalence of Eudaimonic and Hedonic Entertainment Motivations in a Cross-cultural Comparison     

Özen Odağ  Matthias Hofer  Frank M. Schneider  Katharina Knop 《Journal of Intercultural Communication Research》2016,45(2):108-125

Within Hofstede’s framework of individualistic and collectivistic cultures, this contribution examines measurement equivalence of hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment motivations in two different cultures, namely Germany representing a more individualistic culture (N = 180) and Turkey representing a more collectivistic culture (N = 97). By means of a multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, we could secure configural invariance for both hedonic and eudaimonic entertainment motivations across the German and Turkish sample. Metric invariance, however, could only be obtained for hedonic, but not for eudaimonic motivations. Scalar invariance was obtained for neither of the two entertainment motivations. The study points to the importance of equivalence testing when conducting cross-cultural research.  相似文献

Global science: the eruption of Krakatau     

Dörries M 《Endeavour》2003,27(3):113-116

The eruption of the volcano Krakatau in the Netherlands East Indies (Indonesia) in 1883 had worldwide impact. This was perceived in the three quite different types of global propagation that occurred after the eruption: a rapid pressure wave, noticeable only to measuring instruments, followed a few hours later by the spread of the news of the event, succeeded by a slowly expanding optical phenomenon that lasted for a couple of years. Krakatau was the first natural catastrophe of global magnitude that was almost immediately recognized as such throughout the world, largely thanks to the recently installed worldwide telegraphic network.  相似文献   

Modellbasierte Entwicklung eingebetteter Fahrzeugsoftware bei DaimlerChrysler     

Mirko Conrad  Ines Fey  Matthias Grochtmann und Torsten Klein 《Informatik - Forschung und Entwicklung》2005,20(1-2):3-10

Steigende Softwareumf?nge und die damit einhergehende Komplexit?tssteigerung erfordern neue Herangehensweisen an die Entwicklung eingebetteter Fahrzeugsoftware. Als Reaktion auf diese Herausforderungen vollzieht sich seit einigen Jahren ein Paradigmenwechsel von der klassischen Programmentwicklung hin zu modellbasierten Techniken. Der Beitrag gibt einen überblick über den Einsatz modellbasierter Entwicklungstechniken bei DaimlerChrysler und zeigt aktuelle Forschungsschwerpunkte auf. The growing amount of software and attendant rise in complexity demand new approaches to the development of embedded vehicle software. For some years now, a paradigm change from classical program development to model-based techniques has been taking place in reaction to these challenges. This paper provides an overview of the application of model-based development techniques at DaimlerChrysler and presents the main foci of current research.

Perceptions of national identity and attitudes toward immigrants and immigration in Canada and Germany     

Victoria M. Esses  Ulrich Wagner  Carina Wolf  Matthias Preiser  Christopher J. Wilbur 《Int J Intercult Relat》2006,30(6):653

In the current research, we examined whether promoting an inclusive national ingroup that includes both immigrants and nonimmigrants would improve attitudes toward immigrants and immigration among members of receiving societies. We also determined whether one's nation of citizenship and individual differences in social dominance orientation would moderate the effects. Participants were 126 Canadian students and 282 German students, who completed a measure of social dominance orientation and were then asked to respond to a series of questions designed to heighten the salience of national identity (national identity), promote a national ingroup that includes immigrants (common national ingroup), or irrelevant questions (control). The dependent measures included attitudes toward immigrants and immigration, and subtle prejudice toward immigrants. Results revealed that the manipulation of a common national ingroup successfully promoted more positive attitudes toward immigrants and immigration among higher social dominance oriented Canadian participants, but tended to have detrimental effects on the attitudes of higher social dominance oriented German participants. Results are discussed in terms of the importance of considering the context in which groups are situated, as well as implications for developing strategies to promote harmony between immigrants and members of receiving societies.  相似文献

A Comparison of Training Methods on the Acquisition of Automotive Product Knowledge     

Rhiannon M. Fante  Barbara R. Bucklin  Lori Diener‐Ludwig  Daniel B. Sundberg  Alyce M. Dickinson 《Performance Improvement Quarterly》2016,29(3):287-305

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a traditional training program with a fluency‐building training program on the acquisition of automotive product knowledge in a lab setting. The effects were assessed by how accurately and quickly participants responded on a product‐knowledge test. Results indicated that participants who completed the fluency training responded faster and more accurately than control groups immediately after the study. However, the difference between the fluency group and the group that received study objectives disappeared when retention was assessed several weeks after training. The difference remained between these groups and a group that did not receive study objectives. The results were used to modify globally delivered training. This study extended previous studies by examining the effects of training designed to teach product knowledge to sales representatives in automotive dealerships and illustrates the benefits of collaboration between academic researchers and professional trainers.  相似文献
