Zur Aktualität von Wagenscheins Schulkritik heute : das Wirklichkeits-Defizit im schulischen Lernen
(2005)
This article is written from the perspective of phenomenology. Its potential gain for a critical human geography is discussed in contrast to the paradigmatic frame of basic assumptions in constructivism. The example of atmospheres will illustrate another theoretical conception of space. In phenomenological view there happens not only a reality of things but also a circum-actuality is not spatially extended like a house or another material objective. Atmospheres are vital qualities (Dürckheim) we feel like a cloud in our sense perception in situations of awareness. This implies the necessity to make a difference between a material body (Körper) and a felt body (Leib). This epistemic knowledge will improve our critique of neoliberal societies, tuned by aestheticisation especially in glamour CBDs of postmodern cities. Finally there is a close link to the work of Michel Foucault, topped off in his The Hermeneutics of the Subject. References to the Critical Theory (Frankfurter Schule) are connected.
Raum und räumliche Beziehungen sind Konstrukte. Sicht-, Denk- und Interpretationsweisen wirken aus dem Hintergrund der aktuellen und historisch gewachsenen gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse auf die Herstellung nicht zuletzt sprachlich konstruierter Wirklichkeiten ein. In diesem Beitrag werden die Grundzüge von Poststrukturalismus und Postmodernismus skizziert und das vorliegende Heft in seinem Stellenwert für die (Human-) Geographie begründet. Desweiteren wird in die einzelnen Beiträge des Heftes eingeführt.
Non-standard errors
(2021)
In statistics, samples are drawn from a population in a data-generating process (DGP). Standard errors measure the uncertainty in sample estimates of population parameters. In science, evidence is generated to test hypotheses in an evidence-generating process (EGP). We claim that EGP variation across researchers adds uncertainty: non-standard errors. To study them, we let 164 teams test six hypotheses on the same sample. We find that non-standard errors are sizeable, on par with standard errors. Their size (i) co-varies only weakly with team merits, reproducibility, or peer rating, (ii) declines significantly after peer-feedback, and (iii) is underestimated by participants.
We present a report on the second annual symposium of the Dry Grassland Working Group, which took place 26.-28.08.05 in Münster and was entitled ‘Observation scales in dry grasslands’ The Dry Grassland Working Group is a discussion forum for all who are dealing with dry grasslands in central Europe. It organises annual symposia on various topics and aims to prepare the volumes on dry grasslands and closely related vegetation classes within the the ‘Synopsis of the plant communities of Germany’ The Synopsis will be based on a TURBOVEG database. As its structure and reference lists are now almost fixed, we will probably be able to start with data input at the beginning of 2006.
