Innere Kontexte: Entwicklungssensible Ergänzung des naturwissenschaftsdidaktischen Kontextbegriffs
by Thomas ZüggeDer Kontextbegriff ist in der Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik wohletabliert. Das verleitet zu der Fehlannahme, er sei auch wohldefiniert. In dieser Arbeit wird gezeigt, dass die sehr un- terschiedlichen Verständnisse auch zu unterschiedlichen Zielsetzungen didaktischer Kon- textualisierung im naturwissenschaftlichen Unterricht führen. Die damit verbundenen Deutungen und Funktionen des Begriffs werden in einer Definition zusammengefasst. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Entwicklung Heranwachsender bisher nicht Teil dessen ist, was didaktisch als Kontext des Unterrichts bezeichnet wird. Die im weiteren Verlauf eingeführte „entwicklungssensible Kontextualisierung“ versteht sich in bewusster Abgrenzung zu anderen diskutierten Ansätzen, die Entwicklungsprozesse Jugendlicher in der Unterrichtsgestaltung abzubilden. Ihre Grundlage sind „innere Kontexte“, deren Charakter aus einer umfangreichen Diskussion des Entwicklungsaufgabenbegriffs in der modernen Entwicklungspsychologie abgeleitet wird.
Scientific Elite: Nobel Laureates in the United States
by Harriet ZuckermanScientific Elite is about Nobel prize winners and the well-defined stratification system in twentieth-century science. It tracks the careers of all American laureates who won prizes from 1907 until 1972, examining the complex interplay of merit and privilege at each stage of their scientific lives and the creation of the ultra-elite in science.The study draws on biographical and bibliographical data on laureates who did their prize-winning research in the United States, and on detailed interviews with forty-one of the fifty-six laureates living in the United States at the time the study was done. Zuckerman finds laureates being successively advantaged as time passes. These advantages are producing growing disparities between the elite and other scientists both in performance and in rewards, which create and maintain a sharply graded stratification system.

The Role of Pleasure to Improve Tourism Education
by Alejandra Zuccoli Maximiliano E. KorstanjeThis book discusses how pleasure, as an emotional motivation, can play a leading role in improving the learning of new cognitive skills and abilities. Set in a research center orientated to innovate educative techniques for optimizing the learning process, this case study is focusing on the power of pleasure (joy) as a strategy to better the standard education systems in Argentina and beyond.This editorial project is based on an efficient experiment known as “PANCOE” where pre-graduate students of tourism bachelor at the University of Palermo, Argentina, were subject to different pleasurable experiences mainly marked by eating, tasting dishes and non-alcohol drinks while cooking and kneading bread pieces. PANCOE aims to integrate students' senses with their emotions, academic performance, and digital platforms. PANCOE devotes efforts to transforming negative feelings like fear into positive ones like joy. As an outcome, students who had taken part in PANCOE not only obtained higher degrees but also completed their studies with a bachelor's degree.

Exploration and Meaning Making in the Learning of Science (Innovations in Science Education and Technology #18)
by Bernard ZubrowskiMountaineers, Rock Climbers, and Science Educators Around the 1920s, rock climbing separated from mountaineering to become a separate sport. At that time European climbers developed new equipment and techniques, enabling them to ascend mountain faces and to climb rocks, which were considered unassailable up to that time. American climbers went further by expanding and improving on the equipment. They even developed a system of quantification where points were given for the degree of difficulty of an ascent. This system focused primarily on the pitch of the mountain, and it even calculated up to de- mals to give a high degree of quantification. Rock climbing became a technical system. Csikszentmihaly (1976) observed that the sole interest of rock climbers at that time was to climb the rock. Rock climbers were known to reach the top and not even glance around at the scenery. The focus was on reaching the top of the rock. In contrast, mountaineers saw the whole mountain as a single “unit of perc- tion. ” “The ascent (to them) is a gestalt including the aesthetic, historical, personal and physical sensations” (Csikszentmihaly, 1976, p. 486). This is an example of two contrasting approaches to the same kind of landscape and of two different groups of people. Interestingly, in the US, Europe, and Japan a large segment of the early rock climbers were young mathematicians and theoretical physicists, while the mountaineers were a more varied lot.
