Im Diskurs mit dem Qurʼān: Ein Handlungskonzept zum themenzentrierten Arbeiten anhand der Offenbarungsanlässe (Wiener Beiträge zur Islamforschung)
by Ranja EbrahimDen Schwerpunkt der Forschungsarbeit bildet die Erarbeitung eines pädagogischen Handlungskonzepts, welches in Anlehnung an das ‚Vier-Faktoren-Modell‘ der Themenzentrierten Interaktion (TZI) nach Ruth Cohn und in Zusammenführung mit den qurʼānischen Offenbarungsanlässen generiert ist. Das Hauptziel des Modells ist es, eine barrierefreie Verbindung zwischen den jugendlichen Lebenswelten und dem Qurʼān zu ermöglichen, ohne eine Versiertheit in den Gebieten der qurʼānischen Wissenschaften vorauszusetzen. Jugendliche sollen auf diesem Wege dazu eingeladen werden, qurʼānische Inhalte aus der eigenen Erfahrungswelt aus zu deuten, zu bewerten und einzuordnen und damit aktiv am Fortschritt einer zeit- und ortsgerechten islamischen Theologie und Religionspädagogik zu partizipieren.

Imperial Japan's Higher Civil Service Examinations
by Robert M. Spaulding Jr.From 1868 to 1945 imperial Japan was governed by shifting coalitions of several dissimilar elite groups. In this historical analysis of the examination system that regulated access to the inner civil bureaucracy and shaped its political outlook, Professor Spaulding describes the steps by which Japan came to accept examinations as the key to office. The reasons for this acceptance are discussed by (1) piecing together fragmentary clues from government decrees, official memoirs, and the comparative history of Japanese higher education, political parties, and constitution, and (2) a quantitative analysis of many aspects of the civil service, showing why examinations were instituted, why they were ineffective at first, and how they worked after the system was reformed in 1899.Originally published in 1967.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
The Importance of Soft Skills in Engineering and Engineering Education
by Edoardo Rovida Giulio ZafferriThis book explores in depth the significance of soft skills within engineering education and the profession of engineering and emphasizes the importance of integrating hard and soft skills effectively, thereby enhancing personal acumen. Among the most important soft skills are ability to communicate, courtesy, creativity, empaty, flexibility, integrity, positivity, problem solving, professionalism, resourcefulness, responsibility, a strong work ethic, and ability to work within a team. While hard skills are related to the left side of the brain and are linked to the intelligence quotient (IQ), soft skills are related to the right side of the brain and are linked to the emotional quotient (EQ). A person who fuses hard and soft skills successfully will be able to upgrade their professional behavior and become a difference maker (DM). Soft skills are of central importance in the context of Engineering 4.0, the new phase of engineering, and in Engineering 4.0 education, and this is the central focus of the book. The presented examples of the role of soft skills will also enable readers to self-evaluate, to identify those skills that require improvement, and ultimately to enhance their performance.

Individuelle Textbegegnung und kooperative Aufgabenbearbeitung: Verstehensprozesse beim Nachvollziehen der Perspektiven literarischer Figuren
by Daniela SeylerDaniela Seyler untersucht die Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Formen der individuellen Textbegegnung auf die anschließende Bearbeitung von Aufgaben zum Figurenverstehen in kooperativen Kleingruppen. Dabei werden eine weitgehend ungesteuerte und eine durch konkrete Aufgaben gesteuerte Vorbereitungsvariante vergleichend betrachtet. Das für die Auswertung mittels Qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse entwickelte Kategoriensystem verbindet Aspekte der erkennbaren Textverstehensleistung mit Aspekten der Interaktion, so dass ein umfassender Blick auf die Prozesse in der Gruppe möglich wird. Es wird deutlich, inwiefern Vorgaben durch Vorbereitungsaufgaben den Textverstehensprozess in der Gruppe beeinträchtigen können. Die Autorin veranschaulicht mit ihrer Analyse zudem die starken Einflüsse figurenbezogener Wertungen, frühzeitig fixierter, einseitiger Sichtweisen sowie der Diskussionsfähigkeit der Gruppenmitglieder auf den kooperativen Verstehensprozess.
