Schulentwicklung - Bildungspolitische Wunschvorstellung Oder Paedagogische Realitaet? (German, Paperback): Silke Fischer Schulentwicklung - Bildungspolitische Wunschvorstellung Oder Paedagogische Realitaet? (German, Paperback)
Silke Fischer
R1,806 Discovery Miles 18 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Die hier durchgefuhrte Querschnittsstudie evaluiert erstmalig, ob Schulen sich erfolgreich eigenstandig - wie bildungspolitisch gefordert -, in sogenannte "problemloesende" Organisationseinheiten transformieren koennen, um ihren Unterricht im Rahmen der Schulentwicklung kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie stellen hierbei vor allem die Nachhaltigkeit von Schulentwicklung in Frage, da weder die Lehrpersonen noch Schulleitungsmitglieder an den evaluierten Berufsfachschulen der Meinung waren, dass Schulentwicklung den Unterricht und die beruflichen Fahigkeiten der Einzellehrperson uberhaupt beeinflusst. Begrundet liegt dieses Ergebnis u.a. in der von den Schulen vorgenommenen Implementierungsstrategie. So wird das Lehrerkollegium allgemein zu wenig in Entscheidungsprozesse involviert und beispielsweise nur unzureichend uber den Zielerreichungsgrad und Massnahmen abgeschlossener Schulentwicklungsprojekte informiert.

R2,648 Discovery Miles 26 480 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Dieses Buch entwickelt auf Basis internationaler Diskussionen im Bereich der schulischen Padagogik Standards fur den gymnasialen Geschichtsunterricht. Nach den PISA-Studien besteht weiterhin die Notwendigkeit einer fachlichen Weiterentwicklung und der Implementierung nachhaltiger Standards in Bildung und Kompetenzorientierung. Mit Hilfe aktueller padagogischer Theorien und der Auswertung gegenwartiger Trends der Schulforschung werden Konzepte, Kompetenzen und Standards fur das Fach Geschichte evaluiert. Dabei wertet der Autor zahlreiche nationale und internationale Beispiele empirischer Bildungsforschung aus, um eine enge Kombination von Theorie und Praxis in der Entwicklung von Bildungsstandards zu ermoeglichen.

The Mind within the Brain - How We Make Decisions and How those Decisions Go Wrong (Paperback): A. David Redish The Mind within the Brain - How We Make Decisions and How those Decisions Go Wrong (Paperback)
A. David Redish
R1,090 Discovery Miles 10 900 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In The Mind within the Brain, David Redish brings together cutting edge research in psychology, robotics, economics, neuroscience, and the new fields of neuroeconomics and computational psychiatry, to offer a unified theory of human decision-making. Most importantly, Redish shows how vulnerabilities, or "failure-modes," in the decision-making system can lead to serious dysfunctions, such as irrational behavior, addictions, problem gambling, and PTSD. Told with verve and humor in an easily readable style, Redish makes these difficult concepts understandable. Ranging widely from the surprising roles of emotion, habit, and narrative in decision-making, to the larger philosophical questions of how mind and brain are related, what makes us human, the nature of morality, free will, and the conundrum of robotics and consciousness, The Mind within the Brain offers fresh insight into one of the most complex aspects of human behavior.

Models of Decision-Making - Simplifying Choices (Hardcover): Paul Weirich Models of Decision-Making - Simplifying Choices (Hardcover)
Paul Weirich
R2,551 Discovery Miles 25 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Classical decision theory evaluates entire worlds, specified so as to include everything a decision-maker cares about. Thus applying decision theory requires performing computations far beyond an ordinary decision-maker's ability. In this book Paul Weirich explains how individuals can simplify and streamline their choices. He shows how different 'parts' of options (intrinsic, temporal, spatiotemporal, causal) are separable, so that we can know what difference one part makes to the value of an option, regardless of what happens in the other parts. He suggests that the primary value of options is found in basic intrinsic attitudes towards outcomes: desires, aversions, or indifferences. And using these two facts he argues that we need only compare small parts of the options we face in order to make a rational decision. This important book will interest readers in decision theory, economics, and the behavioral sciences.

R2,025 Discovery Miles 20 250 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In einem perspektivverschrankenden Ansatz untersuchen die Autorinnen und der Autor die polyvalenten Wirkungen von Bildungsurlaub. Ausserdem befassen sie sich mit den durch die Gesetzesanderung evozierten Steuerungseffekten auf der Ebene der Anbieter und Angebote. Es werden daruber hinaus die professionellen Handlungsmodi der Programmplanung untersucht und die Interessens- und Verwertungszusammenhange der Teilnehmenden. Hintergrund ist die Tatsache, dass es in Deutschland nur wenige gesetzliche Regelungen gibt, die ein Recht des Einzelnen auf Weiterbildung sichern. Ein besonderes Beispiel sind die Landesgesetze zum Bildungsurlaub (auch Bildungsfreistellungsgesetze). Das Bundesland Bremen hat sein Bildungsurlaubsgesetz im Jahre 2010 novelliert und versucht die Teilnahmequote zu erhoehen, indem es das Spektrum an Bildungsurlaubsanbietern und Veranstaltungsformaten ausdifferenziert und erweitert.

UEber die Ergebnisse gibt das Buch Aufschluss.

Picturing the Uncertain World - How to Understand, Communicate, and Control Uncertainty through Graphical Display (Paperback):... Picturing the Uncertain World - How to Understand, Communicate, and Control Uncertainty through Graphical Display (Paperback)
Howard Wainer
R648 Discovery Miles 6 480 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In his entertaining and informative book "Graphic Discovery," Howard Wainer unlocked the power of graphical display to make complex problems clear. Now he's back with "Picturing the Uncertain World," a book that explores how graphs can serve as maps to guide us when the information we have is ambiguous or incomplete. Using a visually diverse sampling of graphical display, from heartrending autobiographical displays of genocide in the Kovno ghetto to the "Pie Chart of Mystery" in a "New Yorker" cartoon, Wainer illustrates the many ways graphs can be used--and misused--as we try to make sense of an uncertain world.

"Picturing the Uncertain World" takes readers on an extraordinary graphical adventure, revealing how the visual communication of data offers answers to vexing questions yet also highlights the measure of uncertainty in almost everything we do. Are cancer rates higher or lower in rural communities? How can you know how much money to sock away for retirement when you don't know when you'll die? And where exactly did nineteenth-century novelists get their ideas? These are some of the fascinating questions Wainer invites readers to consider. Along the way he traces the origins and development of graphical display, from William Playfair, who pioneered the use of graphs in the eighteenth century, to instances today where the public has been misled through poorly designed graphs.

We live in a world full of uncertainty, yet it is within our grasp to take its measure. Read "Picturing the Uncertain World" and learn how.

Theory of Conditional Games (Paperback): Wynn C Stirling Theory of Conditional Games (Paperback)
Wynn C Stirling
R1,429 Discovery Miles 14 290 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Game theory explains how to make good choices when different decision makers have conflicting interests. The classical approach assumes that decision makers are committed to making the best choices for themselves regardless of the effect on others, but such an approach is less appropriate when cooperation, compromise and negotiation are important. This book describes conditional games, a form of game theory that accommodates multiple stakeholder decision-making scenarios where cooperation and negotiation are significant issues and where notions of concordant group behavior are important. Using classical binary preference relations as a point of departure, the book extends the concept of a preference ordering that permits stakeholders to modulate their preferences as functions of the preferences of others. As these conditional preferences propagate through a group of decision makers, they create social bonds that lead to notions of group concordance. This book is intended for all students and researchers of decision theory and game theory.
