Rechtschreibf瓣higkeiten von Grundschulkindern. Integriertes und nicht-integriertes Schreib
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Deutsch - P瓣dagogik, Sprachwissenschaft, Note: 1,5, Universit瓣t Bielefeld, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit vergleicht das integrierte Schreiben, also ein frei verfasster Text, mit dem nicht-integrierten Schreiben - in diesem Fall ist das die HSP und das Schreiben nach Diktat - miteinander. Im Fokus steht dabei die Verifikation des vorausgehenden Befunds, dass Kinder orthografisch bessere Leistungen erbringen und eine h繹here Rechtschreibkompetenz aufweisen, wenn sie dabei ihr eigenes Wortmaterial nutzen d羹rfen. Zus瓣tzlich sollen auch herk繹mmliche Bewertungsverfahren, wie sie bei standardisierten Tests und Diktaten 羹blich sind, hinterfragt werden, um anschlie?end, vor dem Hintergrund der steigenden Anzahl an gering literarisierten Menschen und der wachsenden Heterogenit瓣t in deutschen Schulklassen, m繹gliche Handlungsempfehlungen f羹r Schulen und Lehrkr瓣fte auszuarbeiten. Im Hinblick auf die Vereinigung von freiem, individuellen Schreiben und Rechtschreiben belegen diverse Stichproben, dass der Handlungszusammenhang in dem geschrieben wird, einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Rechtschreibleistung der Kinder hat und dass die Rechtschreibkompetenz, die ein Kind beim integrierten Schreiben zeigt, nicht 瓣quivalent zu der Rechtschreibleistung des selben Kindes beim nicht-integrierten Schreiben sein muss. Die Problematik der didaktischen Forschung besteht hierbei darin, dass kaum ein Verfahren zur Diagnostik gr繹?erer Kohorten frei geschriebene Texte als Datenbasis nutzt, da hierf羹r in der Regel Einzelworttests herangezogen werden. Infolgedessen bestehen gegenw瓣rtig keine repr瓣sentativen Studien, welche die bisherigen Ergebnisse hinsichtlich der Rechtschreibkompetenz im integrierten und nicht-integrierten Schreiben st羹tzen und zur Modellierung eines neuartigen Analyseverfahrens oder Unterrichtsmodells beitragen k繹nnten. Diesem Desiderat soll in der vorliegenden Arbeit mithilfe einer empirischen Studie begegnet
Das Thema Argumentation im Deutschunterricht der 6. Klasse. Planung einer Unterrichtsstund
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Deutsch - Sonstiges, Note: 1,0, Ruhr-Universit瓣t Bochum (Institut f羹r Philologie - Germanistik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Dieser Forschungsbericht im Fach Deutsch wurde im Rahmen des Praxissemesters im Wintersemester 2018/19 angefertigt. Er zielt perspektivisch auf die Analyse der Vorbereitung und Durchf羹hrung einer exemplarischen Alltagssituation im Deutschunterricht, sowie der ausf羹hrlichen Auswertung der universit瓣ren Vorbereitung. Es wird hierbei im Sinne einer kritischen Selbstreflexion der Fragestellung nachgegangen, welchen Stellenwert das Bochumer Lehrangebot und das eigene Studierverhalten f羹r die Vorbereitung und Durchf羹hrung eigener Unterrichtselemente im Praxissemester hatte. Zun瓣chst werden dabei die konzeptionellen Grundlagen des in dieser Arbeit erfolgenden Reflexionsprozess dargelegt, indem Indikatoren der Evaluationsforschung im Hinblick auf die Fragestellung dargestellt und operationalisiert werden. Daran schlie?t sich dann die Vorstellung und reflexive Analyse der problematischen Aspekte einer unterrichtlichen Alltagssituation an. Der Frage nach Ursachen f羹r die hier aufgezeigten Problematiken wird im darauffolgenden Kapitel beleuchtet, indem mein eigener Werdegang durch das curriculare Lehrangebot der Ruhr-Universit瓣t Bochum selbstkritisch beleuchtet und evaluiert wird. Auf Basis dieses Reflexionsprozesses wird die Arbeit abschlie?end im Sinne der Fragestellung zu einem Fazit 羹ber den f羹nfmonatigen Praxisblock gef羹hrt. Die Arbeit wird hierbei nicht zuletzt als wichtigen Beitrag zum selbstkritischen Umgang angesehen, der besonders f羹r den zeitnah anzutretenden Vorbereitungsdienst und dar羹ber hinaus generell im Berufszweig Lehramt essentiell wichtig ist.

Erlebte Authentizit瓣t
Der Begriff der Authentizit瓣t bewegt sich zwischen Hochwertwort und ethischem Ideal der Postmoderne. In ihm verdichtet sich die anthropologische Frage nach dem Selbstsein, zugleich kommen ihm Diskursfunktionen der Autorisierung, Vermarktung oder Letztbegr羹ndung zu.W瓣hrend diverse geistes-, kultur- und sozialwissenschaftliche Disziplinen unterschiedliche Zug瓣nge zu Authentizit瓣t aufzeigen, blieb eine empirisch-diskurslinguistisch angelegte Untersuchung aus. Die vorliegende Studie versteht Authentizit瓣t gleicherma?en als Performativit瓣ts- und Diskursph瓣nomen und konzentriert sich in der Analyse auf Zuschreibungspraktiken. Dadurch schl瓣gt sie die Br羹cke von diskursiver zu erlebter Authentizit瓣t: Die Herstellung personaler Authentizit瓣t ist stets an ihre soziale und situative Performanz gebunden. Was aber 繹ffentlich-medial als authentisch erlebt (vermittelt) wird, ist erst in sprachlichen Zuschreibungen von Authentizit瓣t greifbar. ?ber die Analyse bestehender Narrative des (Nicht-)Authentischen werden Prozess und Konstituenten diskursiver Authentifizierzungen ermittelt und systematisiert. Mit diesem Modell l瓣sst sich beschreiben, weshalb ein Akteur X einem Akteur Y innerhalb eines Bezugsrahmens Z Authentizit瓣t zuschreibt oder aberkennt.

Im Gold-und Silberland
Samuel Clemens (1835-1910), besser bekannt unter seinem Pseudonym Mark Twain - war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Mark Twain ist vor allem als Autor der B羹cher 羹ber die Abenteuer von Tom Sawyer und Huckleberry Finn bekannt. Er war ein Vertreter des amerikanischen Realismus und ist besonders wegen seiner humoristischen, von Lokalkolorit und genauen Beobachtungen sozialen Verhaltens gepr瓣gten Erz瓣hlungen sowie aufgrund seiner scharfz羹ngigen Kritik an der amerikanischen Gesellschaft ber羹hmt. Samuel Clemens meldete sich in der neu gegr羹ndeten Siedlung Virginia City, Nevada, in der Menschen aus verschiedenen L瓣ndern zusammentrafen, als Goldgr瓣ber. Doch war die Arbeit in den Minen beschwerlich und finanziell wenig ertragreich. Daher arbeitete Clemens ab 1862 als Reporter f羹r den Territorial Enterprise in Virginia City. Er berichtete aus den Saloons der Goldgr瓣berstadt und brachte Klatschgeschichten, die manchmal hart an der Grenze zur Verleumdung lagen. 1863 musste er wegen eines Streits fluchtartig die Stadt verlassen. Jedenfalls hatte er mit seinen gut ausgeschm羹ckten Reportagen f羹r den Territorial Enterprise einen Anteil an dem Mythos, der sich rund um den "Wilden Westen" bildete. Im Gold-und Silberland erz瓣hlt er 羹ber diese Erfahrung. Aus dem Buch: "In dem vorhergehenden Bande habe ich den Leser 羹ber die Pr瓣rieen, das Felsengebirge und durch die Alkaliw羹ste in die Hauptstadt des damals neu errichteten Territoriums Nevada, nach der Stadt Carson gef羹hrt.

The Sorrows of Young Werther/Die Leiden Des Jungen Werther
An overnight sensation upon its 1774 publication, The Sorrows of Young Werther became one of the first European best-sellers and secured its young author both fortune and fame. Loosely based on Goethe's personal experiences, the novel is written mostly in the form of letters in which Werther recounts his unrequited love for a married woman. Its Sturm und Drang style, portraying the rebellion of youthful genius against conventional standards, makes it a perennial favorite with readers of every era. Includes the original German with English translation on the facing pages.
Great Stories by Kafka and Rilke
At the turn of the twentieth century, the city of Prague hosted a cosmopolitan culture whose literary scene abounded in experimental writers. Two of the city's natives are featured in this dual-language volume: Franz Kafka, whose fiction is synonymous with the anguish of modern life; and the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose stories unfold in the same transcendent lyricism as his verse.Twelve of Kafka's stories from the compilation Ein Landarzt (A Country Doctor) appear here, along with two tales from Ein Hungerk羹nstler (A Hunger Artist). Rilke's stories include "Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke" (The Ballad of Love and Death of Cornet Christoph Rilke), "Die Turnstunde" (The Gym Class), and Geschichten vom lieben Gott (Stories About the Good Lord). Stanley Appelbaum has provided an introduction and informative notes to these stories, along with excellent new English translations on the pages facing the original German.
Body and Soul: Notebooks of an Apprentice Boxer
When French sociologist Lo簿c Wacquant signed up at a boxing gym in a black neighborhood of Chicago's South Side, he had never contemplated getting close to a ring, let alone climbing into it. Yet for three years he immersed himself among local fighters, amateur and professional. He learned the Sweet science of bruising, participating in all phases of the pugilist's strenuous preparation, from shadow-boxing drills to sparring to fighting in the Golden Gloves tournament. In this experimental ethnography of incandescent intensity, the scholar-turned-boxer fleshes out Pierre Bourdieu's signal concept of habitus, deepening our theoretical grasp of human practice. And he supplies a model for a "carnal sociology" capable of capturing "the taste and ache of action." Body & Soul marries the analytic rigor of the sociologist with the stylistic grace of the novelist to offer a compelling portrait of a bodily craft and of life and labor in the black American ghetto at century's end.
