Thinking Through the Curriculum
This book tackles the contentious issue of whether and how thinking should be taught in schools. It explores how best to help children become effective thinkers and learners. The book also examines whether there is one set of underlying cognitive skills and strategies which can be applied across all the curriculum subjects and beyond. Its main thrust, however, is a detailed examination of approaches to developing cognitive skills which are specific to the National Curriculum. The book provides chapters from both generalists and subject specialists to illustrate how teachers in different subject areas can benefit from taking a cognitive approach to their subject. It will give teachers a clear understanding of different approaches to teaching thinking and how these fit together.
The Dassie and the Hunter
This book chronicles the life, times and poetry of extraordinary Xhosa praise poet, the late David Yali-Manisi, and his growing friendship and fruitful working relationship with author Jeff Opland. Opland is a renowned scholar who is recognized world-wide as a foremost authority on Xhosa izibongo or praises. His perceptive account gives insight not only into Manisi himself, but the complex art form of praise poetry-a spontaneous performance art of extraordinary subtlety and sophistication that, as Opland notes, embodies in itself the ancestral culture, history and politics of the Xhosa nation. What is unique about this book is the personal dimension that Opland brings to the subject, fusing impeccable scholarship with self-reflective autobiographical narrative. The book incorporates a variety of styles, from autobiographical to verbatim interview, and its shift of voice reflect the author's own internal journey as his deepening friendship with Manisi works its humanizing alchemy. The book is a celebration of the supreme talent of a gifted African poet, and the interaction of a black and a white South African reaching out to each other.
Der Christliche Orient und seine Umwelt
Die Wurzeln des Christentums liegen im Orient. Dort fand es bis an die Schwelle zur Neuzeit auch seine weiteste Verbreitung. Der Oriens Christianus reicht vom Bosporus bis in die zentralasiatischen Steppen und nach China, vom Niltal bis nach Sud-Indien und vom Kaukasus bis ins athiopische Hochland. So vielgestaltig wie das Verbreitungsgebiet der orientalischen Christentumer ist auch das Geflecht interreligioser und interkultureller Wechselwirkungen, das sie mit ihrer Umwelt verbindet. Der Sammelband verzichtet bewusst auf eine Beschrankung bestimmter Kultur- oder Zeitraume, um diese Interdependenzen und ihre historische Genese mit einer Vielzahl wissenschaftlicher Ansatze beobachten zu konnen. Der Band beinhaltet Einzelbeitrage aus verschiedenen Teil- und Nachbardisziplinen des Christlichen Orients zu Ehren des 60. Geburtstag von Jurgen Tubach, der an der Martin-Luther-Universitat Halle-Wittenberg die Wissenschaft vom Christlichen Orient vertritt.
