Anlässlich des 1050. Todestages der Königin Mathilde (gest. 968) bietet hier der bekannte Münsteraner Mediävist Gerd Althoff eine sehr knappe biographische Studie, die eine Ausstellung anlässlich dieses Ereignisses begleitet. Enger gehörte zum Familienbesitz
der Widukund-Familie, und dorthin zog sich Mathilde zeitweise zurück, als ihr Mann, König Heinrich I., 936 starb und in Quedlinburg beigesetzt wurde. 912 war bereits ihr Sohn Otto, der spätere Kaiser Otto I., geboren worden; 919 errang ihr Mann die Königskrone, womit Mathilde
eine zentrale Funktion im Deutschen Reich erwarb. Sie lebte als Witwe bis 968 und war über diese viele Jahre hinweg intensiv darum bemüht, die Memoria ihrer Familie zu pflegen, wozu auch die Gründung eines Stiftes in Quedlinburg diente, was aber zu Zwistigkeiten mit ihrem
Sohn führte. 961 gründete sie ein Stift in Nordhausen, um dessen Fortbestand und Weiterentwicklung sie sehr bemüht war, obgleich Otto ihr dabei offensichtlich stark im Wege stand. Mathilde wurde nach ihrem Tod auch in Quedlinburg beerdigt.

Published: April 2020

This collection of eleven essays has its origins in a conference held in Aberdeen in 2009 on the topic “Myth and Theory in the Old Norse World”. The organizers, editors of the present volume, invited participants to address the question “What are the theoretical and
methodological foundations on which we base our work, in our attempts to understand the Old Norse myths and mythological world” (1). As the editors acknowledge, and the reader may regret, essayists were given a free hand and most contributions avoid comment on theory and evaluate method
only implicitly in their studies of individual texts, gods, other supernatural beings, and ritual sites.

A Handbook to Eddic Poetry: Myths and Legends of Early Scandinavia, ed. Carolyne Larrington, Judy Quinn, and Brittany Schorn. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2016, xii, 413 pp., 12 b/w ill.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2020

Eddic poetry constitutes one of the most important genres in Old Norse or Scandinavian literature and has been studied since the earliest time of modern-day philology. The progress we have made in that field is impressive, considering the many excellent editions and translations, not
to mention the countless critical studies in monographs and articles. Nevertheless, there is always a great need to revisit, to summarize, to review, and to digest the knowledge gained so far. The present handbook intends to address all those goals and does so, to spell it out right away,
exceedingly well. But in contrast to traditional concepts, the individual contributions constitute fully developed critical article, each with a specialized topic elucidating it as comprehensively as possible, and concluding with a section of notes. Those are kept very brief, but the volume
rounds it all off with an inclusive, comprehensive bibliography. And there is also a very useful index at the end. At the beginning, we find, following the table of contents, a list of the contributors, unfortunately without emails, a list of translations and abbreviations of the titles of
Eddic poems in the Codex Regius and then elsewhere, and a very insightful and pleasant introduction by Carolyne Larrington. She briefly introduces the genre and then summarizes the essential points made by the individual authors. The entire volume is based on the Eddic Network established
by the three editors in 2012, and on two workshops held at St. John’s College, Oxford in 2013 and 2014.

Ein monumentales Werk mittelalterlicher Kunst hat hier eine ebenfalls monumentale Interpretation/Wiedergabe gefunden: auf großformatigem Glanzpapier wechselt der Text mit einer fast erdrückenden Fülle von manchmal lebensgroßen, sich oft,
ihrer mehrfachen Betrachtung in der Argumentation zuliebe, wiederholenden Abbildungen. Mit seinem Umfang und Gewicht hätte das Buch auf dem Lesepult einer mittelalterlichen Bibliothek einen geeigneten Platz gefunden – einen Platz, den man ihm aber auch auf Grund seiner geistigen
Verwandtschaft mit der geistlichen Literatur des Mittelalters gern zuerkennen möchte. Die Verfasserin bietet in der Tat eine Auslegung der Hildesheimer Bronzetüren, die es mit der Schriftauslegung des Mittelalters durchaus aufnehmen kann, bzw. die eine Art Schriftauslegung zweiten
Grades, über die Vermittlung der Bilder, darstellt. Des zweiten und nicht des dritten Grades, wenn man annimmt, dass die bildlichen Darstellungen des Mittelalters nicht oder nicht notwendigerweise Transpositionen exegetischer Texte sind, sondern (auch) originelle Schöpfungen (sein
können), die ihrerseits die schriftliche Exegese beeinflusst haben. Wie Herbert Kessler in seinem einfühlenden Vorwort bemerkt und mit einem Zitat aus Anselms von Canterbury Cur Deus homo belegt, gehört zu den zahlreichen Verdiensten dieser Arbeit ,,its overturning of
the priority usually accorded texts over pictures and its suggestion that the typological structure of so much medieval art may, in fact, be based on images not on words.“1

In 809, Carolingian prelates under the direction of Adalhard of Corbie convened at Aachen to discuss, among other pressing issues, the state of the knowledge of computus in the realm. The ability of churchmen to reckon the exact day when Jesus was crucified, the age at which
he died, and the correct date to celebrate Easter, a moveable feastday, were of vital importance for the Carolingian program of correctio. The product of their meeting was a practical treatise of computistical, calendrical, and astronomical information known to scholars as the Handbook
of 809. Culled from ancient and Christian authorities and lavishly illustrated with a total of forty-six diagrams and star pictures, the Handbook of 809 served as an important pedagogical tool for Carolingian intellectuals, who sought a Christian understanding of the heavens.

Dario Bullitta, Niðrstigningar saga: Sources, Transmission, and Theology of the Old Norse “Descent into Hell”. Toronto Old Norse and Icelandic Series, 11. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2017, pp. XIX, 203.
Authors: Oberlin Adam
Published: April 2020

Alongside the source and contextual study promised by the title, this volume also delivers an edition and the first English translation of the two primary redactions of the Old Norse version of the Descensus Christi or Harrowing of Hell translated from the medieval tradition
of the Evangelium Nicodemi or Acta Pilati (for a modern Norwegian translation and parallel normalized edition of the Old Icelandic text see Odd Einar Haugen, Norrøne tekster i utval, 2nd ed., Oslo: Gyldendal, 2001 [1st ed. 1994], pp. 250–65).
While the texts themselves are short and have attracted relatively little attention compared to the immense consideration afforded saga literature or Norse poetic traditions, they are nevertheless of great philological significance in the history of Old Norse-Icelandic literature and provide
a window into the transmission of Latin and Christian texts. Given the amount of material covered in such few pages while retaining the fullness of the textual tradition, this study, edition, and translation is both conceptually outstanding and strong in execution. The fields of Old Norse-Icelandic
language and literature and Germanic philology in a wider sense are enriched by the publication of such multipurpose volumes, whose organization should increase interest in and coverage of otherwise minor or overlooked texts.
The Cistercian Monastery of Zaraka, Greece, edited by Sheila Campbell. Kalamazoo, MI: Medieval Institute Publications, May 2018; pp. xviii, 260.
Authors: Berman Constance H.
Published: April 2020

Excavations undertaken by Sheila Campbell and her associates at Zaraka, Greece, beginning in the early 1990s provide much of the evidence for this volume on this thirteenth-century Cistercian monastery in the eastern Mediterranean established after the Latin Conquest
of Constantinople. Ten experts contributed articles that provide evidence about the political and religious context of the Frankish Morea; the architecture and the sculpture of the abbey; a comment on what its library may have contained; its medieval pottery, glass and coins; human and faunal
remains, and the archaeology of nearby settlements. More than 200 black and white photos and drawings and four plates in color document the finds and their context. There are very few surviving documents that make mention of the abbey, and it would have been useful to have included them in
this publication. The site was probably only occupied by Cistercian monks from circa 1225 to circa 1262. Still this is a very impressive report of the excavations and related topics for the site.
Iben Fonnesberg-Schmidt and Andrew Jotischky, ed., Pope Eugenius III (1145–1153): The First Cistercian Pope. Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2018, 362 pp., 2 maps
Authors: Connell Charles W.
Published: April 2020

This is an important collection of thirteen different studies that do much to overcome the degree to which Eugenius III has been underappreciated, as well as to illustrate the complexity of the medieval papacy with its conflicting spiritual and secular roles. One of the central issues
addressed is whether the office makes the man. The various scholars take up such issues as the use of learned law in ecclesiastical courts, the papal stamp on the crusades, the tendency of the papal curia to attract morally weak characters, and the degree to which Eugenius was able to free
himself from the influence of his Cistercian mentor, Bernard of Clairvaux. Naturally, these independent approaches to the issues tend to overlap and not always agree, but in so doing they strengthen the more complete picture of Eugenius as a skilled politician, communicator, and humane individual.
C. Philipp E. Nothaft, ed., Walcher of Malvern, De Lunationibus and De Dracone: Study, Edition, Translation, and Commentary. Turnhout: Brepols: 2017, pp. 346, 6 color plates.
Authors: Bruce Scott G.
Published: April 2020

When Walcher, the second prior of Great Malvern Priory in Worchestershire, died in October 1135, his Benedictine brethren composed an epitaph that remembered him as a “geometer and abacist” (geometricus ac abacista) and, above all, as a “good astrologer”
(bonus astrologus). His two surviving treatises on astrology attest to his industry as a keen observer of the night sky. In the volume under review, C. Philipp E. Nothaft presents critical editions, translations, and historical commentary on the two treatises attributed to Walcher:
De lunationibus (On Lunations) and De dracone (On the Dragon). Despite recent interest in early medieval astrology, particularly in the Carolingian period, very little work has been done to make Latin astrological texts available in convenient editions and translations
for scholars and their students. This has certainly been true of Walther’s treatises. Nothaft’s book provides the first edition and translation of De lunationibus, while updating José Maria Millás Vallicrosa’s deficient 1943 edition of De dracone
and rendering it in a modern language for the very first time.
James L. Smith, Water in Medieval Intellectual Culture: Case-Studies from Twelfth-Century Monasticism. Cursor Mundi, 30. Turnhout: Brepols, 2017, xiii, 209 pp., 8 b/w fig.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2020

As recent scholarship has amply demonstrated, medieval writers were thoroughly engaged with nature and reflected upon its many features and properties. We have learned to understand the great significance of mountains and of the forest, of animals and birds, for example, and James L.
Smith now brings to our attention the great role of rivers especially for twelfth-century Cistercian authors. The fairly slim volume, based on his 2017 Ph.D. thesis (University of Western Australia, Perth), explores how the imagery of rivers and their extensions into side arms and estuaries
apparently profoundly appealed to theological writers because a river lent itself exceedingly well to explain the concept of the growth and flow of ideas and understanding. Considering the great emphasis placed on water in Cistercian monasteries, it does not come as
a surprise that Cistercian authors drew so much on the natural phenomenon of rivers. In Smith’s own words: “water as a metaphor for intellection, and its role in creating spaces for thought mapped oout through aqueous imagery” (11). This makes very good sense both in medieval
and modern terms, which allows Smith and others to pursue this ecocritical approach further in a very productive fashion.
The Nibelungenlied with the Klage, ed. and trans. with an intro. by William Whobrey. Indianapolis, IN, and Cambridge: Hackett, 2018, xxv, 282 pp.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2020

One of the indicators for the global importance of the anonymous Nibelungenlied certainly proves to be the great interest to develop new translations into modern languages, here English. William Whobrey, who used to teach at Yale University, endeavors to render this major epic
poem, along with the sequel, the Klage, once again into an updated English version. He is fully aware of the many previous efforts and acknowledges them, but he insists that his translation deserves particular attention especially for three reasons. First, he worked hard to offer a
maximum level of clarity particularly for the modern student reader, without moving too far away from the original Middle High German. Overall, Whobrey has achieved that goal, as numerous spot checks have confirmed. One can always quibble somewhat, so when he renders, for instance, “der
Nibelungen nôt” in the very last line as “the downfall of the Nibelungen” (199). Moreover, there are many small issues that make me wonder, so when in stanza 208 it clearly says that “the warrior Hagen spoke,” which here is rendered as “commanded Hagen”
(168). Hagen emphasizes that he and his companions (pl.) will keep watch, which Whobrey makes into the singular “My companion and I.” This could make sense, but it should have been annotated.

Approaches to Teaching the Middle English Pearl, ed. Jane Beal and Mark Bradshaw Busbee. New York: The Modern Language Association of America, 2018, xi, 262 pp., 5 b/w ill.
Authors: Classen Albrecht
Published: April 2020

This well established series, AApproaches to Teaching …@ by the Modern Language Association of America enjoys great respect because it has successfully built important bridges between, on the one hand, research in the field of the Humanities, and school teaching on the other.
There is no reason to assume that high school students would not be competent enough to study not only the primary texts examined in this series, but also some of the relevant research. Moreover, having such a pedagogically oriented volume available, this can easily facilitate the rediscovery
of some of the heretofore rather neglected texts that have fallen out of general popularity.
Unser vrouwen klage / Der Spiegel. Herausgegeben von Edgar Büttner. Altdeutsche Textbibliothek 124. Berlin / Boston: Walter de Gruyer, 2017, XLV, 197 S.

Dreißig Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung seiner Dissertation über diese zwei Redaktionen einer nicht mehr erhaltenen Marienklage legt Edgar Büttner nun eine mustergültige kritische synoptische Ausgabe der Texte vor. Unser vrouwen klage war zuletzt 1878
von Gustav Milchsack (PBB. 5, 193–357) ediert worden; Der Spiegel war bislang noch nie selbständig erschienen, sondern steht in der früheren Ausgabe zum Teil im Apparat und ist zum Teil im ersten Werk integriert. Die zwei Texte leiten sich von einer verlorenen gemeinsamen
Vorlage – ,,Urklage“, circa Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts – ab, weshalb sie als Redaktionen zu bezeichnen sind. Ein dritter, kürzerer mittelhochdeutscher Text, die Marienklage des Märterbuchs, der ebenfalls den lateinischen, sogenannten ,,Bernhardtraktat“
(dazu mehr im Folgenden) aus dem frühen 13. Jahrhundert übersetzt, sowie drei mittelniederdeutsche Versionen bleiben außer Betracht. Wer im Handschriftencensus den Spiegel sucht, findet Information zu einem ganz anderen, kurzen Text in der Handschrift Karlsruhe, Landesbibliothek,
Cod. K 408 (http://www.handschriftencensus.de/werke/1834). Wer die 28 Handschriften beider hier edierten Redaktionen sucht, findet sie allesamt unter Unser vrouwen klage (<ext-link

lediglich unter Marienklage verzeichnet. Da ,,Spiegel“ / ,,Speculum“ ein sehr beliebter Titel im europäischen Mittelalter ist, kann die Bezeichnung für Verwirrung sorgen.

In the past four years, there has been a flurry of valuable new work on the poems of the Gawain-poet (also known as the Pearl-poet), which includes new editions, translations, monographs, pedagogical studies, and online resources. Among the editions and translations are
Malcolm Andrew and Ronald Waldron’s excellent facsimile edition and translation of Cotton Nero A.x (Folio Society, 2016), Simon Armitage’s verse translations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl (W.W. Norton, 2008 and 2016 respectively) and, I allow myself
to mention, my own dual-language edition-translation of Pearl with supplementary materials for collegiate teaching (Broadview, forthcoming). Academic monographs include Piotyr Spyra’s Epistemological Perspective of the Pearl-Poet (Ashgate, 2014), Cecelia Hatt’s God
and the Gawain-Poet: Theology and Genre (Boydell & Brewer, 2015), my Signifying Power of Pearl: Medieval Literary and Cultural Contexts for the Transformation of Genre (Routledge, 2017), and Lisa Horton’s Scientific Rhetoric of the Pearl-Poet (Arc Humanities Press,
forthcoming). Editors Mark Bradshaw Busbee and I have published Approaches to Teaching the Middle English Pearl (MLA, 2017), which contains insightful pedagogical essays from several professors. The journal Glossator provides a complete commentary on each section of Pearl,
available online (https://glossator.org/2015/03/30/glossator-9-2015-pearl/), and additional resources are available at “Medieval Pearl” (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri"

Die Benediktinerinnenabtei Nonnberg blickt heute auf eine über 1300 Jahre alte Geschichte zurück, wurde ja 2017 die 94. Priorin eingeweiht. Die Einleitung zu diesem Katalog beschreibt die Geschichte des Stifts und der Büchersammlung mustergültig. Es gab, wohl weil
die Abtei nur für Frauen vorgesehen war, soweit man sieht, kein Skriptorium. Erst in der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts liest man von Nonnen, die hier eine Handschrift angefertigt hätten. Die noch bestehende Bibliothek besitzt lediglich drei ihrer ältesten Bücher,
die einen vernichtenden Brand im Jahre 1423 überstanden haben. Kamen einige andere ältere Bücher seitdem hinzu, repräsentiert der heutige Bestand dennoch hauptsächlich den spätmittelalterlichen bzw. frühneuzeitlichen Zeitraum. Eine Auflistung von Handschriften
aus dem Jahr 1496 verzeichnet neben 18 lateinischen 36 deutschsprachige Handschriften. Allerdings könnten andere Handschriften, etwa lateinische theologische Texte, die nicht für die Nonnen, sondern für den Kaplan gedacht waren, gesondert aufgestellt und folglich nicht aufgezeichnet
worden sein. Man hat überhaupt Bücher dieses Stiftes an unterschiedlichen Orten gelagert, wie historische Beschreibungen bestätigen. Aufgrund bekannter geschichtlicher Entwicklungen befinden sich die wertvollsten Handschriften aus dem Nonnberg schon 200 Jahren in der Bayerischen
Staatsbibliothek München (ehemals Münchner Hofbibliothek), so etwa das Nonnberger Evangeliar (Clm 15904) oder das Perikopenbuch von St. Erintrud (Clm 15903). Es bleiben (nach meiner Zählung des Handschriftenverzeichnisses) 107 Handschriften und 127 Fragmente, die hier erfasst
wurden. Viele Angaben im Handschriftencensus (http://www.handschriftencensus.de/hss/Salzburg#bib9) sind durch den Katalog überholt; es wäre zu begrüßen,
wenn sie entsprechend bearbeitet werden könnten. Auf alle Fälle wäre dieser Katalog (mit Link, siehe dazu hier unten) aufzuführen.

Published: April 2020

In seiner Freiburger Habilitationsschrift von 2014, die nun endlich im Druck vorliegt, wendet sich Stefan Seeber dem faszinierenden Phänomen der spätmittelalterlichen Romane und ihrer Rezeption in der Frühneuzeit zu, die unser Interesse erregen, weil sie als Zeugen für
die Epochenüberschreitung einstehen und uns dazu zwingen, unsere traditionelle Periodengliederung kritisch zu hinterfragen. Was allerdings genau unter ‘Roman’ zu verstehen wäre, bleibt auch hier trotz vielfacher, gründlicher theoretischer Reflexionen relativ offen,
und damit auch die konkrete Intention dieser Texte, die allerdings fast immer didaktisch-unterhaltend wirken wollten und so das alte horazische Prinzip auf ihre Weise umsetzten (“Wirkungspotential“). Es geht also um delectatio und utilitas, was freilich wenig einen
Unterschied herstellt zu den spätmittelalterlichen Prosaromanen und auch früheren Texten. Seeber postuliert jedoch, dass es den Autoren des 16. Jahrhunderts ein viel größeres Anliegen gewesen sei, didaktisch zu wirken, was aber nicht wirklich als eine Innovation anzusehen
wäre, kommt es ja stark auf die Textauswahl an. Laut Seeber lassen sich aber eine größere Betonung auf die Affektgestaltung und ein lockerer Umgang mit dem Wunderbaren konstatieren (36–37). Ob dies aber z.B. gar nicht auf den Herzog Ernst (ca. 1180/1220) zutreffen
sollte, wäre sehr zu bezweifeln, der wohl auch deswegen hier gar nicht zur Sprache kommt. Es scheint aber, wie Seeber betont, im 16. Jahrhundert doch ein engerer Bezug zu den Rezipienten gegeben zu haben, die durch den Roman direkt beeinflusst werden sollten.

Numerous scholars have recently turned to the world of foodstuff and food preparation in the Middle Ages. The field itself is expanding and we encounter ever new materials and documents that help us to grow in our awareness about the actual conditions on the ground, that is, in the
kitchen, in the dining hall, etc. Wendy Pfeffer embarks on the same topic by way of focusing on the world of the Occitanie and its literature. She explores what we might be able to tell about all the basic aspects of food and food preparation by way of carefully scanning the relevant literary
documents from the twelfth through the fifteenth centuries, both fictional and factual. In fact, as it becomes immediately clear, hardly any poet could ignore the demand by his/her audience to talk also about those material conditions, which allows us today to get a relatively good understanding
of unique recipes and foodstuff in southern France during the high and late Middle Ages.

One of the most effective propaganda tools used by the Humanists and early Protestants directed against the Catholic clergy was the severe criticism of their lack of education, their ignorance about the biblical texts, and their material abuse of their position within their communities.
Scholarship has mostly accepted this viewpoint, subscribing to the notion of a dramatic decline of the late medieval clergy in terms of its morality, intellectual abilities, and religious devotion and piety. The alleged ‘autumn of the Middle Ages’ hence gave way to the rise of

Through this work, teachers’ beliefs and knowledge regarding emotional education have been analyzed. In order to do so, a questionnaire designed by a team at Yale University about teachers’ emotional education beliefs has been used. Ninety-seven teachers have participated in the research, 80% of whom are women and 53% of whom work in public centres. According to what it seen in the results, the average rating of the participants was 4.1 out of 5, showing by the participating teachers, high beliefs regarding this topic, agreeing with previous research. Nevertheless, only a %6.18 is able to give an in-depth definition of this concept. This paper shows the ease with which participating teachers have beliefs about concepts that they are unable to define.

UNESCO has declared 2019 as the “International Year of Indigenous Languages” providing an opportunity for different countries to promote the language, culture and identity of the indigenous peoples of their respective territories. In Colombia, indigenous languages find themselves in a fragile situation due to the innumerable loss of speakers, and thus, in need of revitalization. One of these languages is Nasa Yuwe. The following pages take a closer look at the various revitalization processes of both the Nasa culture and the Nasa Yuwe language on the Tóez Caloto Reservation in order to analyze the two educational models found there.

ABSTRACTThe use of digital technologies in education is providing a dialogic relationship between teachers and students by the fact that it constitutes itself as a means of relevant pedagogical possibilities that make the most dynamic teaching. The emergence of homo zappiens generation reveals that the school as an institution is not yet fully ready to meet this new generation born amid the technology and is present in the educational system. In this regard, the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) emerges as a tool in order to improve the quality of education through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which allows the student to a higher performance in learning and places the school environment in their daily lives. The objective of this work is to research on the contributions of a VLE for teaching Biology with students from first grade of secondary education at a private school in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. The analysis of VLE contributions showed that the use of digital technology presents itself as an appropriate tool for teaching content that requires a greater commitment of time, contributing to the formation and strengthening of critical thinking, evaluation and autonomous of the studentRESUMOA utilização das tecnologias digitais na educação vem proporcionando uma relação dialógica entre professores e alunos pelo fato da mesma constituir-se como um meio de relevantes possibilidades pedagógicas que tornam o ensino mais dinâmico. O surgimento da geração homo zappiens, nos revela que a escola como instituição ainda não está inteiramente pronta para atender a essa nova geração que nasceu em meio à tecnologia e está presente no sistema educacional. A este respeito, o Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem (AVA) surge como uma ferramenta no intuito de melhorar a qualidade do ensino através das Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC), o que possibilita ao aluno um maior desempenho na aprendizagem e insere o ambiente escolar no seu cotidiano. O objetivo deste trabalho é pesquisar sobre as contribuições de um AVA para o ensino de Biologia com estudantes da primeira série do ensino secundário de uma escola privada na cidade de João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil. A análise das contribuições do AVA mostrou que a utilização da tecnologia digital apresenta-se como uma ferramenta apropriada para o ensino de conteúdos que requerem uma maior dedicação de tempo, contribuindo para a formação e aprofundamento do pensamento crítico, avaliativo e autônomo do discente. Contato principal: micheleueno@usp.br

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACTThis work is part of a larger study investigating the influence of Brazilian educational public policy in the preparation of textbooks Citizen Chemistry, from a higher education project. The objective of this study is to identify what changes observed in the preparation of editions of didactic work approved by the National Textbook Program (PNLD) by preestablished aspects in the evaluation sheets and Notices selection. The analyzed textbooks were approved on selections made by PNLD for the 2007 academic years, 2012 and 2015 to the curricular component chemistry in high school. With the qualitative research option in its development, this work makes use of bibliographic data available in official Notices and teaching guides forwarded to teachers of Brazilian public schools, and the characterization of the didactic work Citizen Chemistry, uses the interpretation of images and texts, as subcategories established. This is different situations similarity between its different editions, where the didactic work analyzed turns out to "say the same thing or nearly so" (Valen you cited Chervel, 1990, p.203), in its various editions, or also called by the authors of Vulgate, due to obvious similarity between the books.RESUMOEste trabalho faz parte de um estudo mais amplo que investiga a influência da política pública educacional brasileira na elaboração do livro didático Química Cidadã, oriundo de um projeto do ensino superior. O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar quais as mudanças observadas na elaboração das edições desta obra didática aprovada pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD), mediante aspectos pré-estabelecidos nas fichas de avaliação e Editais de seleção. Os livros didáticos analisados foram aprovados nas seleções realizadas pelo PNLD para os anos letivos de 2007, 2012 e 2015, para a componente curricular Química no ensino médio. Com opção pela pesquisa qualitativa, em seu desenvolvimento, este trabalho recorre a dados bibliográficos disponibilizados nos Editais oficiais e nos guias didáticos encaminhados aos professores das escolas públicas brasileiras, e na caracterização da obra didática Química Cidadã, recorre à interpretação de imagens e textos, conforme as subcategorias estabelecidas. Nesta encontra-se com diferentes situações de similaridade entre as suas diferentes edições, onde a obra didática analisada acaba por “dizer a mesma coisa ou quase isso” (Valente apud Chervel, 1990, p.203), nas suas diferentes edições, ou também denominada pelos autores de vulgata, devido a evidente semelhança entre os livros. Contato principal: gahelyka@outlook.com

ABSTRACTNowadays lacks in environmental education were detected even living in times of global change. In this research, the acquisition of knowledge related to environmental consciousness in secondary school students in northeast Spain is examined. A questionnaire for each secondary course was made with different kind of questions: specific of the course and of the previous knowledge. After a statistical analysis, with R programming language, a unilateral hypothesis contrast where the mean responses of the students answered correctly at the beginning and the end of the different courses of secondary education, were contrasted. After analysis, the results shows that the mean responses answered correctly at the end of the course is greater than the mean at the beginning of course in most cases studied, except two groups. The findings of this study indicate that the education of our students conclude with a meaningful learning as indicated but we should not neglect the non-formal education received by students in order to have people environmentally conscious.RESUMENActualmente se han detectado carencias en la educación ambiental aun estando viviendo momentos de cambio global. En el presente estudio de investigación, se examina la adquisición de los conocimientos relacionados con la concienciación ecológica en los alumnos de educación secundaria en el nordeste de España. Se realizó un cuestionario para cada curso con diferentes tipos de preguntas: específicas de curso y conocimientos previos. Tras un análisis estadístico, con el lenguaje y entorno de programación para análisis estadístico R, se realizó un contraste de medias unilateral donde se contrastó la media de respuestas respondidas correctamente de los alumnos de los diferentes cursos de educación secundaria, a final y a inicio de curso, de dicho cuestionario. Tras el análisis de los resultados se observa que la media de respuestas respondidas correctamente a final de curso es mayor que la media al inicio de curso en la mayoría de casos estudiados a excepción de dos grupos. Las conclusiones de este estudio indican que la educación que reciben nuestros alumnos concluye en un aprendizaje significativo tal y como se indica aunque no debemos descuidar la formación no formal que reciben los alumnos para así tener ciudadanos concienciados con el medio ambiente. Contacto principal: meritxell.notari@alu.umh.es
Un Hypertexto para la enseñanza de la Estadística No Paramétrica: Propuesta didáctica para el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las Ciencias Sociales / A Hypertext for the Teaching of Nonparametric Statistics: Didactic Proffer for the Teaching-Learning Process of the Social Sciences
Authors: Gonzalez Romero Alicia
Published: April 2020

ABSTRACTA hypertext was realized as a didactic guide to construct and explain the different hypothesis tests related with nonparametric statistics by using the Raimon Duvals semiotic theoretical base, the learning based on Donald Shon´s problems, and exercises of social kind. Microsoft Excel was used as didactic software , the tests were developed according to the constructivism. There was an explanation consistent in an hypothesis test beginning with thw the binomial development and it was continued with exercises analysis and development of the hypothesis tests exercises included in the nonparametric statistics program. Working with a hypertext and the Excel software allowed to save capture time and numeric calculations. The indicators used to measure the learning, coincide in the display that shows that working with the hypertext favors the nonparametric statistics learning task. Nevertheless, the students recommended to add more theory in order to explain each topic and to add more exercises, with this we can conclude that the method is perfectible.RESUMENSe realizó un Hypertexto, como guía didáctica para construir y explicar las diferentes pruebas de hipótesis relacionadas con la Estadística no Paramétrica, con el sustento teórico de los Registros semióticos de Raimond Duval, el aprendizaje basado en problemas de Donald Shon y ejercicios de corte social, Se utilizó el programa Microsoft Excel como sosftware didáctico, se desarrollaron las pruebas de acuerdo con el constructivismo, se explicó en que consiste una prueba de hipótesis partiendo del desarrollo de la binomial y se continuó con el análisis y desarrollo de ejercicios de las pruebas de hipótesis contenidas en el programa de Estadística no Parametrica. El trabajar con un hipertexto, y el programa Excel, permitió ahorrar tiempo de captura y cálculos numéricos. Los indicadores utilizados para medir el aprendizaje, coinciden al mostrar que trabajar con el Hypertexto favorece el aprendizaje de la Estadística no Paramétrica, Sin embargo, los estudiantes recomendaron, agregar más teoría para explicar cada tema y añadir más ejercicios, con lo que se concluye que el método es perfectible. Contacto principal: Aliciagr_1@hotmail.com

Published: April 2020

ABSTRACTOne of the biggest difficulties that Primary students face in Mathematics is problem solving. A strategy known as The Bar Model was developed in Singapore in the 1980’s. Its three variables (The Part-Whole Model, The Comparison Model and The Before-and-After Model) grant The Bar Model the possibility of being applied to a wide range of formulation problems. Besides, it paves the way for the student to assimilate algebra in an easier and more natural way in later educational stages. This paper shows the three Bar Model variables and several examples of its use.RESUMENUna de las mayores dificultades a que se enfrentan los alumnos de Primaria en Matemáticas es la resolución de problemas. En Singapur se desarrolló en los años 80 una estrategia conocida como Modelo de Barras. Sus tres variantes, el modelo Todo-Parte, el modelo de Comparación y el modelo Antes-Después otorgan al Modelo de Barras la posibilidad de ser aplicados en un amplio espectro de problemas de enunciado. Además, prepara el camino para que el alumno sea capaz de asimilar con más facilidad y naturalidad el álgebra en etapas educativas posteriores. En este trabajo se muestran las tres variantes del Modelo de Barras con varios ejemplos de aplicación. Contacto principal: sergio.urbano.ds@gmail.com
