Authors: Wu Qiang , Ma Xiaoxiao , Wang Chunliang , Yan Kai , Liu Chao , Liu Fan , Li Bing , Qiu Yong
Published: October 2024

The construction period of pumped storage power stations (PSPS) generates amounts of production wastewater, which may contain pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in these bacteria, potentially posing environmental and health risks. This study used the metagenome approach to analyze the distribution of microorganisms, ARGs and their correlation with water quality indicators in wastewater collected from two typical PSPSs. Coagulation system wastewater exhibits strong alkalinity (11.88), and aggregate system wastewater has high suspended solids (SS, 8 × 104 mg/L), resulting in lower richness and diversity of bacterial communities. Serpentinimonas, a kind of alkaliphilic bacteria, had the highest relative abundance (48.58–99.7%). The ARG subtypes obtained conferred wastewater resistance to tetracycline, macrolide, fluoroquinolone and so on, but wastewater treatment has limited removal effect on ARGs. The results indicate that resistant bacteria and resistance genes can still be present and distributed under highly alkaline conditions, and the removal efficiency of ARGs by wastewater treatment in PSPS is limited. Attention should be given to the environmental and health risks posed by production wastewater, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the sustainable development of the PSPS industry.

Published: October 2024

Fish invasions can damage the ecological environment of invaded areas, causing negative effects such as monotony of ecological types in invaded waters and endangerment of native species. It is important to monitor their presence and spread in invaded areas. This study aims to update the available data on non-native fish species in the inland waters of Guangxi and to determine their seasonal and spatial distribution in this region. Taking the inland waters of Guangxi as the study area, 34 sampling sites were set up in the major river systems, and systematic sampling was conducted in four seasons in 2023. The data showed that a total of 7690 non-native fish were collected from 23 species, belonging to 7 orders, 13 families, and 20 genera. Of the non-native fish species, 19 species were introduced for aquaculture purposes, and three species were introduced for ornamental purposes. The most non-native fish species were found in summer with 21 species, which were followed by 20 species in winter, 18 species in spring, and only 15 species in autumn. However, the distribution composition was similar in each season, with Coptodon zillii being dominant in each season, which was followed by Oreochromis niloticus. The Hongshuihe River had the highest number of non-native fish species with 16 species, followed by the Xunjiang River with 14 species, the Qianjiang River with 13 species, and the Npanjiang River had the lowest number of non-native fish species with 7 species. In addition, the Xunjiang River and the Qianjiang River showed significant separation in the PCoA results, and the overall test showed significant differences in non-native fish composition among the river system. The main reasons for the differences in their spatial distribution are geographical location and temperature. O. niloticus and C. zillii were found in all river systems and have become the main invasive non-native fish species in the inland waters of Guangxi.

CONCEPT OF CRISIS IN SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE
Authors: Hong Wang
Published: October 2024

The article examines the main approaches to the concept and content of crisis in scientific literature. The main trends in the development of the crisis and its contradictions are analyzed. It is emphasized that most crises and their understanding are the result of a combination of human errors, institutional «failures» and constant changes in the sphere of functioning of society and states. The main stages of the development of theoretical approaches regarding the concept and content of the crisis and its main derivatives are considered. It has been proven that he does not have a clear understanding of the concept and essence of the crisis; there are three main approaches to understanding the concept and content of crisis; there are several stages of development and formation of the concept and content of the crisis; for the most part, researchers give this phenomenon a positive or negative character. This is explained by the complex nature of these phenomena and insufficient attention for a long time.
It is indicated that analyzing the existing definitions of the concept of «crisis», we can talk about three main approaches: a crisis is a stage of the life cycle of any system, that is, a form of its development; crisis is a turning point in the functioning of the system, which provokes any changes, regardless of the result; a crisis is a deterioration of one or more parameters of the system's functioning, which can even lead to its final disappearance. It is emphasized that the crisis is not a separate phenomenon, but a process unfolding as various factors and forces interact in an unpredictable manner; disruption of the usual daily rhythm of life; the emergence and increase of anxiety and stress in the population; potential and real threats to basic values and structural social systems. It has been proven that all views on the concept and meaning of «crisis» and related concepts are determined by the established framework of their interpretation, as well as by the theoretical and spatiotemporal relationship in which they are interpreted. The conducted research shows that in modern scientific literature there are many approaches to understanding the concepts of crisis and risk, sometimes they are even opposite to each other.
In this regard, it is appropriate to generalize the existing approaches to these concepts. This will provide an opportunity to more comprehensively reveal the essence of the concepts and will help during the formation of crisis and risk management policy. The modern world is quite complex and dynamic, which leads to the appearance of an increasing number of various crises and risks. Only a thorough understanding and perception of the crisis will allow, if not to avoid them, then to get out of them with the least losses.
ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL LEGISLATION REGARDING REGULATION OF THE MANIFESTATIONS OF CORRUPTION IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Authors: Ketskalo Roman
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of international legislation on the regulation of manifestations of corruption in public administration. The introductory part states that corruption affects all spheres of social life, contributes to the spread of organized crime, creates social tension, creates uncertainty among the population in the ability of the authorities to implement organizational and practical measures to overcome the systemic crisis and revive Ukraine. Various approaches to the interpretation of the concept of «corruption» have been presented, in particular that it is both a «struggle for obtaining the maximum benefit» and «a social evil that spreads a negative image, or public crimes that usually intensively spread a negative image and practices», or «abuse state powers to create personal benefits» etc.
It is noted that developing countries are more susceptible to the influence of corruption for various reasons, including the following: total poverty and low wages in the public sector; the absence of any risk-sharing mechanisms, such as insurance and a developed market; opportunities provided by complex, ill-defined, constantly changing and inadequate rules and regulations; lack of properly established laws and principles.
A number of different international acts (conventions) adopted to combat corruption in a strategically planned manner are analyzed. It was emphasized that the introduction of changes in the legislative sphere took place on the basis of global surveys.
It was concluded that the process of systematic updating and analysis of the international legal field contributes to the development of capacity, and also establishes benchmarks for the effectiveness of public administration, which can be monitored and measured. In view of global achievements, there is a need to develop and adopt a national system of integrity, which will provide a basis for analyzing both the causes of corruption and the adequacy and effectiveness of anti-corruption reforms.

Authors: Nepsha Oleksiy
Published: October 2024

There has been made an attempt in the article to assess the possibility and expediency of application of information and communication technologies and their highest manifestation – artificial intelligence – as an anti-corruption tool in the judiciary. The essence and modern forms of the artificial intelligence phenomenon and its connection with information and communication technologies have been analyzed. There has been researched national and foreign legal regulation on the application of artificial intelligence both in the field of public administration in general and in the field of the judiciary and administration of justice in particular. The cases of the most «significant» corruption events in the judiciary have been presented and an attempt to find out the reasons of the failure of traditional tools to prevent corruption has been made. There has been called into question the ability of the state to overcome such a negative socio-power phenomenon as corruption without the implementation of radical steps which have long been overdue and became even more actualized during the armed conflict. Some positive examples of the information and communication technologies use in the judiciary have been demonstrated. Separate advantages of using artificial intelligence as a new tool for preventing corruption in the administration of justice have been briefly systematized. There has been emphasized that artificial intelligence due to its impartiality is fully capable to ensure the realization of the right to a fair trial, preserving time, financial and human resources, and reducing the level of corruption. At the same time, there has been underlined that without studying the risks and threats of using computer programs at this level of their development, relying only on them as a panacea for the destruction of corruption practices is imprudent and premature. Finally, an impulse for further research of artificial intelligence and its features as a tool of corruption prevention in the judicial system has been given.

Authors: Larin Stanislav
Published: October 2024

The author of the article reveals the purpose of implementing the international experience of the system of state protection of national values through the prism of two important trends that should be implemented and and enshrined in the practice of state-building processes in modern Ukraine. One of them stipulates that national values are the central core of the national security system security system, they define the triad of ‘values-interests-goals’. The second trend defines the system of creating mechanisms for legislative support of guaranteeing and protecting of national values, which is embodied in the systemic nature of the state policy on national development and is the actual consolidation of the civilisational civilisational choice of the Ukrainian nation at the level of legal acts.
The purpose of the article is to analyse practical aspects of implementation of the state mechanisms for protection of national values in foreign countries and their implementation in the Ukrainian State.
The author emphasises that national values of of modern Ukraine should not be subject to political bargaining, speculation, etc. They are are always an element of political struggle. Without this, political processes are impossible, and therefore, national values should be defined and prohibited for political speculation on them, which, by the way, requires the development of an institution of for their criminal law protection; and - to have its own system of mechanisms of legislative protection. 
It is determined that the first step towards the implementation of the experience of foreign countries in protecting national values should be the introduction of an all-Ukrainian analytical study of the system of national values. It should should be based on long-term and medium-term forecasts of domestic development and the development of the system of world politics, its specific regional and functional subsystems. This means that the full potential of national research institutes in the field of public opinion, civil society, and sociological research should be used to society, and sociological research should be directed within the framework of a single state policy to study and define national values.

Authors: Sunil Prakash N , Thanduthapani S
Published: October 2024

This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing personal savings behavior, focusing on the independent variables of financial literacy, economic conditions, and cultural factors. The research employed a snowball sampling method, with a sample size of 200 participants through structured questionnaire.The Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationships between the independent variables and the dependent variable, personal savings behavior. Positive correlations and significant regression coefficients were found in the data, suggesting that increasing personal savings behavior was correlated with both good economic conditions and better levels of financial literacy. Notably, financial literacy exhibited a stronger influence on personal savings behavior compared to economic conditions. However, the impact of cultural factors on personal savings behavior was relatively weaker. The findings underscore the importance of financial education and stable economic environments in promoting positive savings habits among individuals. Furthermore, the study highlights the potential benefits of tailoring interventions and policies to address cultural norms and attitudes that may hinder or promote personal savings behavior. Notwithstanding the drawbacks of the snowball sampling method, the study offers insightful information about the intricate interactions among variables influencing people’s inclination to save. To further our understanding of this important component of financial well-being, future research may look at more variables, use bigger and more representative samples, and examine possible interactions among the independent variables.

Nendran Banana is one of the most common fruits consumed worldwide, and it contributes significantly to the waste produced by food consumption. Banana peel waste has a significant amount of food fibre, phenols, flavonoids, antioxidants, antibacterial, and anticarcinogenic substances. Repurposing banana processing waste, such as peel, has the potential to boost raw material output and, as a result, reduce food industry waste while simultaneously improving the availability of nutritional and nutraceutical potential among the human population. This study is aimed to assess the nutritional, functional and bioactive compounds of prepared nendran banana peel flour and its incorporation in to various proportion of cookies formulation. Nendran bananas were purchased from a local market, sorted, peeled, soaked in 2% lime juice for 15 minutes, dried, powdered with a mixer grinder, sieved to produce a fine powder, and analysed for physical and functional properties such as length, width, and dimension, water and oil holding capacity, swelling powder, and proximate composition such as moisture, ash, carbohydrate, protein, fat, and fibre. The approximate composition of the banana flour was determined using AOAC standard techniques. Bioactive components were also assessed. The two varieties of cookies were prepared with the incorporation of nendran banana peel powder at the rate of 5 % and 10% and analysed for their nutritional components. The functional features of nendran banana peel powder revealed that it had a higher water-holding capacity, good oil-holding capacity, high solubility, and a high swelling capacity. Nendran Banana Peel Flour was discovered to be high in protein and crude fibre. It possesses greater antioxidant scavenging activity as well as possible polyphenolic substances. The produced food formulation was organoleptically evaluated using a 5-point hedonic rating scale, and the best product was chosen based on the sensory scores. The study suggested that the nendran banana peel flour is a versatile nutritional supplementation and provides a great health impact.

Authors: Akilandeswari S
Published: October 2024

SIRT6 has been suggested that SIRT6 functions in cells as a helpful modulator and tumor suppressor. Because the induction or blocking of apoptosis affects the course of cancer, SIRT6 has a dual function in the growth and spread of tumors. This study aims to investigate the post transilational modification at AKT signaling pathway under SIRT6 slicening. The main objectives are Silencing SIRT6 by siRNA (SIRT6 siRNA 1, SIRT6 siRNA 2), Investigation of the phosphorylation status of AKT, Examining PTEN expression and examining the AKT pathway while SIRT6 is silenced. To evaluate the SIRT6, phospho-AKT, AKT, and PTEN proteins, western blot was used. It was discovered that SIRT6 expression was significantly elevated in both NSCLC cells and primary lung cancers. Mechanistic research has shown that silencing SIRT6 increases AKT phosphorylation. Overall, the research demonstrated that SIRT6 downregulation induced posttranslational modification in NSCLC cell lines to control AKT/Wnt/β-catenin signaling, offering a potential biomarker and strategy for lung cancer prevention.

"Pädagogik vom Kinde aus heute?". Grundschule zwischen Tradition und Zukunft
Authors: Deckert-Peaceman Heike
Published: October 2024

Der Beitrag nimmt systematisch auf die Tagungskonzeption Bezug und zielt auf Vertiefung und Differenzierung der formulierten Annahmen, Schwerpunktthemen und Krisensemantiken. Er verweist auf die Anerkennung der Eigenart und des Eigenrechts des Kindes als konstitutives Merkmal von Pädagogik sowie auf den gemeinsamen Weg von Kinderwissenschaften und Pädagogik vor mehr als 120 Jahren. Im Mittelpunkt stehen zwei Perspektiven, die als Leerstellen identifiziert werden: Rolle der Krise für das Pädagogische; die Neue Rechte und das Kind, auch im Kontext der Krisensemantik. Schließlich wird von der gemeinsamen Tradition auf die Zukunft verwiesen. Es geht um die Frage nach einer erziehungswissenschaftlichen Kindheitsforschung mit dialektischer Gegenstandbestimmung, bei der Kinder nicht nur als Seiende, sondern auch als Werdende konzeptualisiert werden. Das bedeutet folglich eine Auseinandersetzung mit der Zukunft von Kindern und Gesellschaft. (DIPF/Orig.)

Der Beitrag nimmt zunächst einen Blick in die Verhältnisbestimmung von Kindheits- und Grundschulforschung von vor 20 Jahren vor. Dabei wird das Argument fokussiert, es sei zu einer Trennung zwischen dem ‚Innen‘ und ‚Außen‘ der Grundschule und zu einer Arbeitsteilung zwischen Kindheits- und Grundschulforschung gekommen. Am Beispiel einer neueren ethnographischen Studie wird anschließend ausgehend von der Verhältnisbestimmung zwischen ‚Innen‘ und ‚Außen‘ der erziehungswissenschaftlichen Migrationsforschung herausgearbeitet, wie das Verhältnis unter der Frage der Herstellung vom ‚Außen‘ (hier: ‚Herkunft‘ bzw. ‚Hintergrund‘) im ‚Innen‘ im Schnittfeld von Kindheits- und Grundschulforschung bearbeitet werden kann.

Kindheitstheoretische, kindheitssoziologische sowie kinderrechtebasierte Begründungslinien unterstreichen die Bedeutung einer forschenden Annäherung an die Kinderperspektiven (Beck/Deckert-Peaceman/Scholz 2021) und den Einbezug ihrer Sichtweisen als „Experten in eigener Sache“ (Büker et al. 2018, S. 109). Im Rahmen einer qualitativ längsschnittlichen Studie zum Erleben und zur Bewältigung des Übergangs von der Grundschule auf die weiterführende Schule werden 20 Viert- und dann Fünftklässler:innen jeweils vor und nach dem Wechsel mittels eines komplexen qualitativen methodischen Designs befragt, um in der Eröffnung unterschiedlicher interaktiver Ausdrucksformen und (Frei-)Räume ihre subjektiven Perspektiven auf die bildungsbiografisch bedeutsame und zugleich institutionell vorgegebene ‚Gelenkstelle‘ im deutschen Bildungswesen in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen. Dazu werden u.a. sog. Gedankenhöhlen-Monologe (ursprünglich aus der Literaturdidaktik nach Kruse 2020) aufgezeichnet. Unter methodologischer Perspektive fokussiert der Beitrag das Potenzial als auch Grenzen dieses Formats in der (Transitions-)Forschung mit Kindern. Die Ergebnisse der Studie legen nahe, dass ein Raum geschaffen wird, der zu besonderen Erzählfähigkeiten herausfordert (vgl. Vogl 2021) und zu einer inhaltlich komplementären Nachvollziehbarkeit des Erlebens vom Grundschulübergang aus Kinderperspektiven beiträgt. Trotzdem schaffen die gegebenen (Frei-)Räume auch Anlass zur Diskussion über Grenzen der Forschung mit Kindern, denen in diesem Beitrag nachgegangen wird. (DIPF/Orig.)
Leistung aus der Sicht von Grundschulkindern
Authors: Seitz Simone , Auer Petra , Imperio Alessandra
Published: October 2024

Das italienische Bildungssystem kommt bis Ende des achten Schulbesuchsjahres gänzlich ohne institutionelle Separierung aus, sodass der Grundschule kein mit Deutschland vergleichbarer Zuweisungsauftrag zu differenzierenden Bildungsgängen obliegt. Zugleich ist seit 2020 der Verzicht auf Ziffernzeugnisse in der Grundschule zugunsten von Berichtszeugnissen gesetzlich verankert. Dies wirft die Frage nach der Relationierung von Leistung und Inklusion auf. Ein genaueres Verständnis des Leistungsbegriffs auf der Ebene sozialer Praktiken innerhalb der Grundschule ist daher Gegenstand der Studie CrisP (Children‘s Perceptions of Performance in Primary Schools). Mittels materialgestützter, narrativer Interviews wurden die Orientierungen von Kindern hinsichtlich von schulischer Leistung rekonstruiert. Im Beitrag wird anhand eines Kernfalls aufgezeigt, wie Kinder innerhalb didaktischer Arrangements an (inklusiven) Grundschulen ihre Handlungsmöglichkeiten und ihre Rolle ausdeuten. (DIPF/Orig.)

Während der COVID-19-Pandemie rückten neben inhaltsbezogenen Fragestellungen vor allem soziale Aspekte des schulischen Lernens in den Hintergrund (vgl. Helm/Huber/Loisinger 2020). Einige Schulen haben es geschafft, dass sich ihre Schüler:innen auch unter Pandemiebedingungen gut umsorgt fühlten. Der vorliegende Artikel befasst sich auf Grundlage der Selbstbestimmungstheorie (vgl. Ryan/Deci 2017) sowie Modellen des Distance Learnings (vgl. Garrison 2007; Moore 2013) mit der Frage, welche Maßnahmen diese Schulen ergriffen haben, um ihre Schüler:innen in ihren psychologischen Grundbedürfnissen zu unterstützen. Hierzu wurden retrospektiv 36 Lehrkräfte und acht Schulleitungen aus zehn Grundschulen qualitativ zu den an der Schule getroffenen Maßnahmen zur Beziehungsgestaltung während des Distanzlernens befragt. Basierend auf den Grundbedürfnissen nach Kompetenz, Autonomie und sozialer Verbundenheit erfolgte eine strukturierende und zusammenfassende Inhaltsanalyse. Zur Förderung sozialer Verbundenheit wurde von den Befragten häufig angeführt, dass Lehrkräfte soziale Aktivitäten initiierten und sich Zeit für jedes Kind nahmen, insbesondere für Persönliches. Kompetenzunterstützung wurde z. B. durch individualisierte Aufgabenstellungen oder wertschätzendes Feedback umgesetzt. Aspekte der Autonomieunterstützung wurden nur selten genannt, kommunikationsunterstützende und strukturgebende Maßnahmen dagegen sehr häufig. Neben der Bedeutung gelingender Kommunikation werden weitere Möglichkeiten diskutiert, wie die psychologischen Grundbedürfnisse von Schüler:innen auch während des Distanzlernens unterstützt werden können.

Entwicklung eines Kategoriensystems zur Identifizierung adaptivem Lehrer:innenhandelns im Mathematikunterricht der Grundschule
Authors: Buttchereyt Anne-Kathrin , Kastens Claudia
Published: October 2024

Adaptivität wird vielfach als Schlüssel im Umgang mit Heterogenität diskutiert und beschreibt Maßnahmen einer Lehrkraft, wenn sie unterschiedlichen Lernausgangslagen gerecht wird und ihren Unterricht an die unterschiedlichen Lern- und Unterstützungsbedarfe anpasst. Wenngleich es sich hierbei um ein in der Unterrichts- und Lehrer:innenforschung viel beachtetes Konstrukt handelt, fehlt es an Instrumenten zur Erfassung eines adaptiven Lehrer:innenhandelns (ADLH) in realen Unterrichtssettings. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt das Desiderat und stellt die deduktiv-induktive Entwicklung eines Kategoriensystems zur Operationalisierung adaptiven Lehrer:innenhandelns im Mathematikunterricht der Grundschule vor. Anhand von Videographien des Mathematikunterrichts in acht Schulklassen sollen Interaktionen zwischen Lehrkräften und Schüler:innen extrahiert und analysiert werden, die darauf fokussieren, auf welchen Merkmalsebenen und in welcher Form, Lehrkräfte Unterrichtsund Lernprozesse analysieren und adaptiv eingreifen. Dieser Beitrag präsentiert ein deduktiv erstelltes Schema zur Beschreibung von Merkmalen des ADLH. Außerdem werden erste Ergebnisse aus der induktiven Analyse eines Unterrichtsvideos dargestellt. Es deutet sich an, dass ADLH seine komplexe und multifaktorielle Struktur auch in der empirischen Rekonstruktion beibehält und Merkmale des Lehrer:innenhandelns im Zusammenspiel interpretiert werden sollten.

Das Instrument wurde an 245 Studierenden des Lehramts Grundschule (2. Fachsemester) pilotiert. Erste Analysen verweisen auf interessante deskriptive Daten und Zusammenhänge. (DIPF/Orig.)
LesePfad - digitale Lesepakete zur Förderung der Lesekompetenz im inklusiven Unterricht
Authors: Hanke Judith , Diehl Kirsten
Published: October 2024

In Deutschland haben viele Schüler:innen erhebliche Leseschwierigkeiten. Die Kultusministerkonferenz empfiehlt daher verstärkte Diagnostik und Förderung. Digitalisierung gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung für die Bildung. So betont z.B. die IGLU insbesondere digitale Leseformen. Das BMBF-geförderte Projekt DaF-L verbindet Digitalisierung und Förderdiagnostik. Die im Projekt entwickelten digitalen Tools basieren auf dem Ansatz des formativen Assessments. Das Lesescreening und die darauf abgestimmten Lesepakete ermöglichen es, Lernfortschritte effektiv zu erfassen sowie Feedback für Lehrkräfte und Schüler:innen unmittelbar zu geben. Zusammen bilden das Screening und die Lesepakete ein ganzheitliches digitales Paket zur Diagnostik und Förderung des Leseverständnisses. (DIPF/Orig.)
Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung als Thema eines universitären Seminars. Entwicklung von Präkonzepten bei Grundschullehramtsstudierenden

BNE gilt als relevante Aufgabe für Grundschulen. Verankert ist dies in der Agenda 2030 (vgl. Vereinte Nationen 2015, S. 18), im Perspektivrahmen Sachunterricht (vgl. GDSU 2013, S. 75 ff.) und in Lehrplänen (z.B. ISB 2014, S. 34). Dennoch zeigen viele (angehende) Lehrkräfte Wissens- und Professionalisierungsdefizite, was sie an der Umsetzung von BNE im Unterricht hindern kann (vgl. Baumann et al. 2023a, S. 80; Brock/Grund 2018, S. 3). In einer Lehrveranstaltung der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) werden künftige Grundschullehrkräfte daher zu BNE im Sachunterricht professionalisiert. Analog zu Präkonzepten vor Seminarteilnahme (vgl. Baumann et al. 2023a, S. 80) zu BNE wurden die Postkonzepte der 54 Studierenden nach der Teilnahme im offenen Antwortformat in Fragebögen erhoben und mit qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Während die Hälfte der Studierenden vor Seminarteilnahme das eigene mangelnde Wissen beklagt, wird die Kategorie nach Teilnahme nicht mehr identifiziert. Stattdessen werden nach Teilnahme signifikant mehr Aussagen zur Gestaltungskompetenz (vgl. BMU 2009, S. 22 ff.) und „Legitimation und Umsetzbarkeit von BNE“ getätigt. Obwohl die mittels offener Fragebögen erhobenen Prä- und Postkonzepte in ihrer Aussagekraft eingeschränkt sein können, lassen sich Hinweise auf eine gelungene Professionalisierung ableiten.

Professionalisierungsprozesse in Hochschullernwerkstätten. Analyse- und Beurteilungsfähigkeiten entwickeln
Authors: Griesel Clemens
Published: October 2024

Die vorliegende qualitative Studie widmet sich der Entwicklung eines reflexiven Habitus bei Lehramtsstudierenden der Grundschulpädagogik. Angesichts der sich ständig wandelnden Bildungslandschaft ist es unerlässlich, dass angehende Lehrkräfte nicht nur über fundiertes Fachwissen verfügen, sondern auch in der Lage sind, Lernumgebungen kritisch zu reflektieren und zu gestalten. Hochschullernwerkstätten stellen sich diesem Anspruch, indem sie einen praxisnahen und reflexiven Rahmen für die Lehrer:innenbildung bieten. Das Ziel dieser Studie ist es, durch ein speziell entwickeltes Seminarkonzept den reflexiven Habitus von Lehramtsstudierenden zu fördern. Dies soll dazu beitragen, Professionalisierungsprozesse bei den Studierenden zu initiieren und zu unterstützen. Unter Berücksichtigung der strukturtheoretischen Ansätze nach Helsper (2021) und Kramer (2020) sowie der Erkenntnisse von Nehle (2022) und Gruhn (2021) über die Rolle von Lernwerkstätten, wird der theoretische Rahmen erläutert (1), bevor die Methodologie, inklusive eingesetzter Methoden, das Seminarkonzept und die Untersuchungsgruppe (2) beschrieben werden. Anschließend werden die Ergebnisse der Studie präsentiert und diskutiert (3), bevor die Arbeit mit einem Fazit abgeschlossen wird (4). (DIPF/Orig.)
