Inclusive Principles and Practices in Literacy Education
This volume draws together research and practice from the fields of literacy education and inclusion. It provides an insight into current theory, research and issues associated with teaching literacy to all students in inclusive classrooms. Literacy remains a critical success factor for students, as the basis for concurrent and future learning.
Draughtsmen, Botanists and Nature:
This book is the first in-depth study of eighteenth-century botanical illustrations. Its findings offer a completely new insight into the working practices of the botanists and scientific draughtsmen of this period. The author describes the different production stages of these illustrations. For the first time, the author presents a convincing description of how botanical illustrations developed, ascertaining the criteria that drove this process.
Rethinking L1 Education in a Global Era
This book brings together a range of scholars from 10 different countries to address the contemporary state of play in national standard language education – i.e. the L1 subjects. It seeks to understand the field from within a comparative-historical and transnational frame. Four thematic threads are woven through the volume: educationalisation; globalisation; pluriculturalism; and technologization. The chapters range over various aspects of L1 as a school subject: literature, language and literacy; reading and writing; media and digital technology; the dialogue between curriculum inquiry and Didaktik studies; the continuing relevance of Bildung; the significance of history and nation; and new challenges of culture and environment in the face of climate change. The book concludes with a reflection on the prospects for L1 education today and tomorrow, in a now thoroughly globalised context and, accordingly, deeply implicated in a necessary new project of nation re-building.
Acolytes of Nature
Although many of the practical and intellectual traditions that make up modern science date back centuries, the category of “science” itself is a relative novelty. In the early eighteenth century, the modern German word that would later mean “science,” naturwissenschaft, was not even included in dictionaries. By 1850, however, the term was in use everywhere. Acolytes of Nature follows the emergence of this important new category within German-speaking Europe, tracing its rise from an insignificant eighteenth-century neologism to a defining rallying cry of modern German culture. Today’s notion of a unified natural science has been deemed an invention of the mid-nineteenth century. Y...
Annals of the History and Philosophy of Biology 11/2006
The name DGGTB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geschichte und Theorie der Biologie; German Society for the History and Theory of Biology) refl ects recent history as well as German tradition. The Society is a relatively late addition to a series of German societies of science and medicine that began with the »Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Medizin und der Naturwissenschaften«, founded in 1910 by Leipzig University's Karl Sudhoff (1853-1938), who wrote: »We want to establish a ,German' society in order to gather German-speaking historians together in our special disciplines so that they form the core of an international society«. Yet Sudhoff, at this time of burgeoning academic int...
Technoscience in History
The relationship of the current technosciences and the older engineering sciences, examined through the history of the “useful” sciences in Prussia. Do today's technoscientific disciplines—including materials science, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and robotics—signal a radical departure from traditional science? In Technoscience in History, Ursula Klein argues that these novel disciplines and projects are not an “epochal break,” but are part of a history that can be traced back to German “useful” sciences and beyond. Klein's account traces a deeper history of technoscience, mapping the relationship between today's cutting-edge disciplines and the development of the use...
Kunst als Wissenschaft
Carl Ludwig Fernow (1763-1808) kehrte 1803 von einem ertragreichen, mehrjährigen Aufenthalt in Rom zurück, um dem Ruf an die Jenaer Universität zu folgen. Hier befasste er sich mit Goethes Aktivitäten im Bereich der bildenden Kunst. Fernows kurze Lehrtätigkeit initiierte die Verankerung der Kunstgeschichte als wissenschaftliche Disziplin an der Universität.Der geschichtliche Fokus wird durch den Blick auf die Künstlermonographie als zentrale Schriftgattung der frühen Kunstgeschichte ergänzt. Fernows Schriften zur Kunst sind in den letzten Jahren Gegenstand verschiedener Studien gewesen. Dieser Band schreibt die neueren Arbeiten zu Fernow zugleich fort und unterzieht sie einer kritischen Sichtung. Der bislang auf die Kunsttheorie konzentrierte Blick der Fernow-Forschung wird um weitere Perspektiven bereichert.
