Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de ilköğretim kurumlarından itibaren en az bir yabancı dil öğretilmesine rağmen neden Ölçme Seçme ve Yerleştirme Merkezi (ÖSYM) tarafından hazırlanan, uygulanan ve değerlendirilen sınavlarda birçok kişinin istenilen başarıya ulaşamadığı, özellikle dört yıl yabancı dilde eğitim alan Almanca öğretmenlik lisans mezunu öğretmen adaylarının Öğretmenlik Alan Bilgisi Testinden neden istedikleri sonuçları elde edemedikleri araştırılmış, sınavlara girenlerin sınav sorularını ne ölçüde doğru cevaplandırdıkları veya sorulara cevap verirken neden hata yaptıkları sorularına cevap aranmıştır. Araştırmaya ilişkin veriler rastgele seçilen ÖSYM'nin hazırlamış olduğu sınavlardan alınan örnek sorulardan oluşturulan bir örnek sınavın Trakya Üniversitesi lisans öğrencilerine uygulanması suretiyle toplanmış, okuduğunu anlama, çeviri gibi birçok soru tipinde iyi sonuçlar elde edilmesi ancak dilbilgisine ilişkin soruların çok azının doğru cevaplandırılması sonucunda araştırma cevap şıkları arasında en az bir adet bağlaç bulunan sorular ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Bağlaçlar üzerine yapılan inceleme, ÖSYM tarafından hazırlanan ve uygulanan sınavlarda günlük yaşamda sık kullanılan bağlaçların yanı sıra çok nadir kullanılan bağlaçlara da yer verildiğini ve sorulara doğru cevap verebilmek için lisans süresince kullanılan dilbilgisi kitaplarındaki konuları tekrar etmenin yeterli olmayacağı, merkezi sınavlarda yer alan soruları doğru cevaplandırabilmek için özellikle şıklarda yer alan uygun bir kelime ile tamamlanması gereken cümlelerin anlamlarının çok iyi anlaşılması ve bunun için de çok geniş bir kelime hazinesine sahip olunması ve öte yandan bağlaçların üstlenebilecekleri tüm işlevlerini ve anlamsal ve sözdizimsel özelliklerini bilmek gerektiğini ortaya koymuştur. Ancak Almanca Öğretmenliği lisans eğitimi süresince kullanılan dilbilgisi kitapları incelendiğinde, bunlarda her bir bağlaca yer verilmediği gibi bağlaçların sunuluş biçiminde de farklılıkların olduğu ve her kaynakta bağlaçların her bir anlamsal ve sözdizimsel özelliğine yer verilmediği, bu nedenle Almanca öğretmen adaylarının sınavlarda başarılı olmak için lisans süresince aldıkları eğitimin yanı sıra mutlaka daha başka kaynaklardan da aydalanarak bireysel olarak ek çalışmalar yapmaları gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the acceptance and assessment of work shadowing carried out by students and dentists in dental practices. Furthermore, the extent to which students perceive an improvement in their specialised, communication and social competencies, was to be examined.
Methods: 61 dental students in their clinical semesters at a German university participated in work shadowing placements at 27 different general dental practices. Before beginning, they received checklists of various competencies that they self-assessed using school grades (from 1 = "very good", to 6 = "failed"), which they also repeated after completion. The dentists supplemented this with their external assessments. In addition, the students were requested to fill out a 54-item questionnaire and compose a freely-structured report after the work shadowing; the dentists filled out a questionnaire containing 16 items. The statistical analysis was carried out by means of the Friedman Test, including a post-hoc test (Bonferroni-Holm correction).
Results: The analysis showed a significant overall improvement in the students’ self-assessed competencies by 0.71* ± 0.43 grades. With an average of 0.33* ± 0.36, the dentists’ external assessment proved significantly higher than the self-assessment. The greatest improvements were perceived by the students in the areas of accounting (1.17* ± 0.77), practice organisation (1.05* ± 0.61) and dentist’s discussions (0.94* ±0.80) [*p < 0.05]. The students confirmed experiencing an expansion of knowledge, an improvement in their communication skills and indicated a high degree of satisfaction in regard to the dentists (school grade 1.58 ± 0.93). A maximum amount of satisfaction towards the work shadow students was demonstrated by the dentists, and this form of teaching was assessed with a school grade of 1.69 ± 0.89.
Conclusion: Both students and dental practitioners demonstrated a high level of satisfaction in regard to the work shadowing. The students felt their knowledge had increased, viewed the dentists as motivating role models and acknowledged a significant improvement in their specialised, communication and social competencies. Work shadowing in dental teaching practices presents a sensible addition to academic teaching at a university.
Background: Lectures remain an important teaching method to present and structure knowledge to many students concurrently. Adequate measures are necessary to maintain the quality of the lectures. The aim of this study was to determine the impact on the lecture quality using written structured feedback and to compare the ratings of surgical lectures between students and surgical peers.
Methods: Prospective analysis of two consecutive surgical lecture series for undergraduate students at Goethe-University Medical School was performed before and after evaluation of the lecturers via independent written feedback from trained undergraduate students and surgeons. The 22-item feedback instrument covered three areas of performance: content, visualization, and delivery. Additional suggestions for improvement were provided from
both students and surgical peers who anonymously attended the lectures. The lecturers, experienced surgeons, as well as the student and peer raters were blinded in terms of the aim and content of the study. Their response to the feedback was collected using a web-based 13-item questionnaire. The Kendall’s-W coefficient was computed to calculate inter-rater reliability (IRR). Differences between ratings before and after feedback were analyzed using Student’s t-test for dependent samples. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov-test was used for independent samples.
Results: A total of 22 lectures from a possible 32 given by 13 lecturers were included and analyzed by at least three surgeons and two students. There were significant improvements in overall score as well as in the details of 9 of the 13 items were found. The average inter-rater reliability was 0.71. There were no differences in the ratings as a function of the rater’s level of expertise (peers vs. students). We found that 13/23 lecturers (56.5%) answered the questionnaire, and 92% strongly agreed that the written feedback was useful. 76.9% of the lecturers revised their lecture based on the written feedback requiring on average 112.5 min (range from 20 to 300 min).
Conclusions: Overall, this study indicates that structured written feedback provided by trained peers and students that is subsequently discussed by the lecturers concerned is a highly effective and efficient method to improve aspects of lecturing. We anticipate that structured written feedback by trained students that is discussed by the lecturers concerned will improve lecturing.

Background: In Germany, patients suffering from life-limiting conditions are eligible for specialized outpatient palliative care (SOPC). Evaluation of the quality of this service lacks currently integration of patient-relevant outcomes. There is also no scientific consensus how to prove quality of care in the special context of SOPC adequately. Existing quality reports are primarily based on descriptive structural data which do not allow for estimation of process quality or result quality. The ELSAH study ("Evaluation of Specialized Outpatient Palliative Care in the German state of Hesse") aims to choose - or, if necessary, to adopt - to evaluate and to implement a suit of measures to assess, evaluate and monitor the quality of specialized, home-based palliative care.
Methods: All 22 SOPC teams providing their services in the state of Hesse, Germany, participate in the ELSAH study. The study is divided in two phases: a preparation phase and a main study phase. Based on the findings of the preparation phase we have chosen a preliminary set of instruments including the Integrated Palliative Outcome Scale, Views on Care, Zarit Burden Interview, Phase of Illness, Goal Attainment Scaling, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status, Consumer Quality Indices Palliative Care and Sense of Security in Care. During the main study phase, we will use a mixed-methods approach to evaluate the instruments’ psychometric properties (reliability, validity, feasibility and practicability), to identify barriers, facilitators and limitations of their routine use and to explore how their use affects the care within the SOPC setting.
Discussion: At the end of this study, an outcome- and patient-centered, validated measurement approach should be provided, adapted for standardized evaluations in SOPC across patient groups, palliative care services and regions nationwide. The standardized application of instruments should allow for making valid statements and comparisons of health care quality in SOPC based on process- and outcome-evaluation rather than relying on structural data only. Moreover, the instruments might directly influence the care of patients in palliative situations.

Diese Arbeit gibt einen Überblick der Konzeption und der Evaluation der Aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik (AAMP) in Deutschland. Die rechtliche Grundlage der AAMP stellte von 1969 bis 1997 das Arbeitsförderungsgesetz (AFG) dar. 1998 wurde dieses durch das Sozialgesetzbuch (SGB) III abgelöst. Während das AFG noch unter Bedingungen der Vollbeschäftigung eingeführt wurde und auch eine generelle Verbesserung der Funktionsweise des Arbeitsmarktes vorsah, erfolgte im Zeitablauf eine stärkere Ausrichtung der AAMP auf die Wiedereingliederung von Problemgruppen in den Arbeitsmarkt. Das SGB III stellt die Eingliederung von Arbeitslosen in reguläre Beschäftigung in den Mittelpunkt. Obwohl das SGB III in Ansätzen eine Erfolgskontrolle der AAMP vorsieht und trotz der hohen fiskalischen Kosten (43 Mrd. DM im Jahr 2001) fehlt bisher eine umfassende Evaluation der Wirkungen der AAMP unter Berücksichtigung der Kosten. Die Arbeit stellt die grundlegenden methodischen Probleme einer aussagekräftigen Evaluation dar. Die mikroökonomische Evaluation untersucht, ob die Teilnahme an einem arbeitsmarktpolitischen Programm zu einem Erfolg im Hinblick auf individuelle Zielgrößen wie Beschäftigung oder Verdienst führt.
Spielfilme stellen für die meisten Lernenden ein attraktives Medium dar, das ein großes Potenzial für sprachliches, interkulturelles, filmästhetisches sowie mediales Lernen besitzt. In der Fremdsprachendidaktik wurden exakte Kriterien für die Filmauswahl sowie vielfältige Methoden zum produktiven Umgang mit Film-werken entwickelt. Trotzdem werden Spielfilme im schulischen Fremdsprachenunterricht relativ selten eingesetzt und noch seltener evaluiert. Das Ziel des vor-liegenden Beitrags ist deshalb, neben einer theoretischen Auseinandersetzung mit der Filmdidaktik, Evaluationsergebnisse eines schulischen Filmprojekts anzwei PASCH-Schulen und zwei deutschen bilingualen Gymnasien in der Slowakei zu präsentieren. Mittels didaktischer Tests wurden Effekte der Filmarbeit auf die Wortschatzerweiterung, den Ausbau des kulturspezifischen Hintergrundwissens sowie den Einfluss auf die "Filmlesefähigkeit" erhoben. Überdies wurden mit je-der Schülergruppe Interviews zu subjektiven Lernerfahrungen durchgeführt. Die Testergebnisse weisen auf positive Effekte hin, die durch die qualitativen Daten noch differenzierter betrachtet werden können.
Job creation schemes (JCS) have been one important programme of active labour market policy in Germany aiming at the re-integration of hard-to-place unemployed individuals into regular employment. In ontrast to earlier evaluation studies of these programmes based on survey data, we use administrative data containing more than 11,000 participants for our analysis and hence, can take effect heterogeneity explicitly into account. We focus on effect heterogeneity caused by differences in the implementation of programmes (economic sector, types of support and implementing institutions). The results are rather discouraging and show that in general, JCS are unable to improve the re-integration chances of participants into regular employment.
Die Vermittlung der Zusammenhänge zwischen psychologischen Funktionen und körperlichen Veränderungen sowie deren Relevanz für die Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung von Krankheiten stellt ein zentrales Ziel der Ausbildung in Medizinischer Psychologie dar. Zur Veranschaulichung dieser Zusammenhänge führten wir ein Psychophysiologie-Praktikum im ersten vorklinischen Semester ein. Die Studierenden führten in Vierergruppen mit Hilfe ausführlicher schriftlicher Instruktionen jeweils ca. 30 Minuten andauernde praktische Übungen durch, die die folgenden Themen behandelten: (1) Stress (abhängige Variable: Herzrate), (2) "Lügendetektor" (abhängige Variable: Hautleitwertsreaktionen), (3) Biofeedback (abhängige Variable: Hauttemperatur) und (4) Elektroenzephalogramm (abhängige Variable: Amplituden der vier klassischen Frequenzbänder). Die praktischen Übungen wurden durch theoretische Gruppenarbeiten und einen Termin zur Zusammenfassung der Ergebnisse der Übungen ergänzt. Die studentische Evaluation des Praktikums war durchweg positiv. So wurde das Praktikum als Bereicherung des Kurses angesehen, und der selbstbeurteilte Kenntnisstand auf dem Gebiet der Psychophysiologie zeigte eine signifikante Verbesserung. Diese Ergebnisse sowie unsere Eindrücke während des Praktikums bekräftigten unseren Entschluss, ein Psychophysiologie-Praktikum als Teil des Kurses der Medizinischen Psychologie und Medizinischen Soziologie fest zu etablieren.
This paper evaluates the effects of job creation schemes on the participating individuals in Germany. Since previous empirical studies of these measures have been based on relatively small datasets and focussed on East Germany, this is the first study which allows to draw policy-relevant conclusions. The very informative and exhaustive dataset at hand not only justifies the application of a matching estimator but also allows to take account of threefold heterogeneity. The recently developed multiple treatment framework is used to evaluate the effects with respect to regional, individual and programme heterogeneity. The results show considerable differences with respect to these sources of heterogeneity, but the overall finding is very clear. At the end of our observation period, that is two years after the start of the programmes, participants in job creation schemes have a significantly lower success probability on the labour market in comparison to matched non-participants.
