Overview: Die Didaktik des VerstehensSeit je her ist ‘Verstehen‘ ein zentrales Thema pädagogischer Reflexion. Neuerdings wird von PädagogInnen wie auch SchülerInnen und StudentInnen etwa in den aktuellen Debatten um Bildungsstandards oder in Diskursen der Didaktik ‘Verstehen‘ auch als zentrale Kompetenz eingefordert. Dieses Themenfeld wird hier aus didaktischer, forschungsmethodischer und bildungstheoretischer Perspektive diskutiert.978-3-531-14885-4978-3-531-90307-1

Overview: The mathematical theory of ondelettes (wavelets) was developed by Yves Meyer and many collaborators about 10 years ago. It was designed for ap­ proximation of possibly irregular functions and surfaces and was successfully applied in data compression, turbulence analysis, image and signal process­ ing. Five years ago wavelet theory progressively appeared to be a power­ ful framework for nonparametric statistical problems. Efficient computa­ tional implementations are beginning to surface in this second lustrum of the nineties. This book brings together these three main streams of wave

Overview: th The papers appearing in this book were originally presented at the 9 Virginia Tech/MPRG Symposium on Wireless Personal Communications. The Symposium on Wireless Communications, which is an annual event for Virginia Tech, was held on June 2-4, 1999. The 1999 symposium was co-sponsored by MPRG, the Division of Continuing Education, University International Programs, and the MPRG Industrial Affiliate Sponsors. Much of the success of our annual symposium, as well as the success of MPRG‘s research program, is due to the support of our industrial affiliates. Their support allows us to s

Overview: STEPHEN TOULMIN George Santayana used to insist that those who are ignorant of the history of thought are doomed to re-enact it. To this we can add a corollary: that those who are ignorant of the context of ideas are doom­ ed to misunderstand them. In a few self-contained fields such as pure mathematics, concepts and conceptual systems can perhaps be de­ tached from their historico-cultural situations; so that (for instance) a self-taught Ramanujan, living alone in India, mastered number­ theory to a point at which he could make major contributions to European mathematics. But elsewh

Overview: Recent research on Wind Energy.Presents the Impact of Turbulence on Wind Energy.Written by leading experts in the field.This book presents the results of the seminar “Wind Energy and the Impact of Turbulence on the Conversion Process” which was supported from three societies, namely the EUROMech, EAWE and ERCOFATC and took place in Oldenburg, Germany in spring 2012..The seminar was one of the first scientific meetings devoted to the common topic of wind energy and basic turbulence. The established community of researchers working on the challenging puzzle of turbulence for decades me

Overview: What does it take to win the White House? This book helps students understand both the issues and how and why people vote for one candidate. After discussing the dynamics of the primary campaigns, the authors examine three broad sets of issues that play a key role in voting: foreign policy, domestic policies, and the culture wars. This sets the foundations for an examination of regional similarities and differences in voting patterns, as the varying salience and valence of issues-whether general or specific-is explored across and within regions. Special attention is paid to battlegro

Overview: Obwohl sie zu den wichtigsten Stellschrauben zur Erzielung von Werbeeffizienz zählt, fand die Optimierung der Werbemittelgestaltung bislang in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung wenig Beachtung. Als Werbemedium eröffnet das Internet Potenziale, die die Werbung in klassischen Medien nicht bieten kann. Insbesondere der Site werden als Werbemittel erhebliche kommunikationspolitische Wirkungen zugeschrieben..Uta Meeder entwickelt ein verständliches Instrument zur Messung der Wahrnehmung der Sitegestaltung. Auf dieser Basis analysiert sie die Effekte der Gestaltung auf die mit dem Siteauftr

Overview: Explores how the allocation of household labour within the Dutch Empire developed, and to what extent they were affected by colonial connections in the heydays of colonialism between 1830 and 1940.Bri.‘This book makes an important contribution to the history of household labour relations in two contrasting societies. It deserves a wide readership.’.—Anne Booth, SOAS University of London, UK. ‘By exploring how colonialism affected women’s work in the Dutch Empire this carefully researched book urges us to rethink the momentous implications of colonial exploitation on gender roles both

Overview: There are many popular books on the origin of the human species, but the majority are focused on the testimony provided by old bones, while molecular evidence is merely skimmed over.With the present bFrom the moment it first began to contemplate the world, three questions have occupied the human mind: Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? Artists (notably Paul Gauguin), religious thinkers, philosophers, and most recently scientists have all searched for answers. Here, the authors describe how scientists decipher human origin from the record encrypted in the DNA and

Overview: Kontinuität und postsozialistische Transformation in den EU-MitgliedsstaatenDieser Sammelband beruht auf einer internationalen Tagung des Wirtschaf- und Sozialwissenschaftlichen Instituts (WSI) in der Hans-Böckler-Stiftung und des DGB Bildungswerks, die unter dem Titel „Wohlfahrtsstaaten in Mittel- und Osteuropa: Sozialpolitik und Geschlechterverhältnisse im Transformationsp- zess“ vom 4. bis 6.

Overview: The Greeks are on trial. They have been for generations, if not millennia, from Rome in the First century, to Romanticism in the Nineteenth. We debate the place of the Greeks in the university curriculum, in New World culture - we even debate the place of the Greeks in the European Union. This book notices the lingering and half-hidden presence of the Greeks in some strange places - everywhere from the U.S. Supreme Court to the Modern Olympic Games - and in doing so makes an important new contribution to a very old debate.978-0-312-29563-9978-0-312-29919-4
