Teddy Bear From Movie Valentine's Day

retreat in Kirchberg am Wechsel: 14 - 16 January 2011


Our retreat visited 24 ladies and gentlemen. During a retreat you can think in peace about the basics of our faith and our life. Daily life may remain switched off. We can shape us from the Bible and especially the figure of Jesus. These exercises were under the theme: "But who do you say I am?" (Mt.16, 15).
These days can increase the joy of the Lord. Finally, the joy of the Lord is our strength.

Prolapsed Bladder Ontario

summary of an article on digital ethnography

Christine Ofner wrote this summary:

Gender in Play: Mapping a Girls' Gaming Club
Target group: pupils of a primary school in Toronto.
research question: It is to be shown how computer games are still seen as a male domain.
Methodology: Multimodal Application Program (MAP) - the behavior of participants will be visually recorded and then analyzed. The program plays a selected audio sequence across multiple channels. Each channel refers to its own mode of communication (hand gestures, laughter, etc.). The result is a character scale ("semiotic score) that records for the researchers significant interactions. In addition, the students fill out questionnaires.
Participants will be divided during the first phase in single sex play groups, playing on different days, while a female researcher and then coordinated a male researcher and be received. There are three Groups of girls that play over a period of 12 weeks during the lunch breaks and after school. These units are recorded, divided into encoded audio clip (30 seconds to 2 minutes). Various forms of physical and verbal interactions are recorded during the game. In the second phase of the project, a mixed-sex group is set up, in turn, records a research-based person.
Results: The text is explained in more detail a record - five girls are disturbed by two boys in the computer game. After the boys have asked why the girl does not have the game "Underground 2" play happened a non-verbal invitation by a girl on the boys. These go out to the console to put them on again - until she asks another girl to go. Here is quite clear is how much the "expert role" of the boys also internalized in the girls. Computer games are still dominated by men, although this is often represented differently.

summary of an article on participant observation

Christine Ofner has this summary written

gender homogeneous learning groups in physics / chemistry
target group: 16 male, 14 female participants, very different cultural experience backgrounds, common goal of positive school leaving.
research question: the testing of gender-homogeneous learning groups in Physik-/Chemieunterricht is to be found:
- how they affect the object-related self-concept,
- whether different personal attitude by gender,
- looks like the gender-specific interactive behavior in the classroom,
- the relevance of the clinical training in the laboratory for the above questions.
Methodology Procedure:
- "Gender-launch workshops: Introduction to task, the participants should call on cards three women's and men's jobs, final round of discussions to do so. Details of the separate groups and the accompanying evaluation are given.
- Single-sex classroom teaching in separate groups, group discussion.
- Laboratory lessons: a man and a women's group, a mixed group, participants must choose ballots.
- Evaluation: Various qualitative methods in the validation of the data are used. There is an expert interview with the teacher, the recorded, transcribed and is evaluated using a qualitative content analysis. Furthermore, there are group discussions with participants that are recorded, and participant observation in the laboratory by the teacher of theoretical instruction, which is an observation guide the communication and group behavior of the participants observed and recorded.
results:
- Participants: initially negative self-concept, teaching my lighter than expected, that they are unrestrained by the separation, the participants are all in their opinion, ask more questions, take little girls to support. The willingness to learn outside the classroom is higher among participants, motivation for active participation is easier. A few, brief speeches.
- Participants: positive self-concept that does not change recognize only few differences in behavior, believe that they are separated by calm and focused. Many spoke.
- The adaptation of the educational content to the level of knowledge and interest of the participants is simple. The classes in the laboratory contributes significantly to learning.
