Teacher education in Germany has been significantly upgraded and developed over the past two decades, partly due to national programs such as the Quality Campaign Teacher Education. While specific, institutional and organizational features of teacher education continue to exist, tasks and demands have expanded considerably : in addition to studying and teaching, further tasks, such as research, promotion of young researchers, and transfer have been added. The article analyzes the organizational and institutional shape of teacher education and the question of how, in view of the governance-related restrictions, the central institutions are able to distinguish themselves and to cope with their tasks. In essence, given the fundamental cross-structure of teacher education, the article points to the need to successfully conduct interface-related negotiations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Classroom development is a significant part of school development and is currently taking place through digitization. In Germany, an infrastructure is being systematically built up, but the concrete implementation is left to the individual schools. There have been just a few studies that deal with the changing teaching structures when using digital media. This paper focus on how teaching is structured when it takes place via learning software. On the basis of lesson protocols from a 6th grade mathematics class in Germany, an analysis is performed using structural hermeneutics methods to to investigate to what extent the feedback systems help the students process the tasks and how they deal with the automated answers. Finally, we discuss to what extent these processes could have an impact on the theory of teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hermann Lübbe distinguishes between philosophy in a professional, academically disciplined sense, on the one hand, and philosophy in an »exoteric«, public sense on the other. In both its forms of existence, philosophy is concerned with orientation. Lübbe characterizes nonacademic philosophy as »the epitome of systems of orientation as a last resort in the contexts of any practice«. Professional philosophy has the task of reflecting »on the prerequisites of our orientation practice« and, if necessary, acting as an »orientation crisis manager«. This conceivably broad opening of the concept of philosophy brings with it the problem of its demarcation from what Lübbe calls »worldview« and »ideology of life«. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The training of hospital staff is a central task of clinical ethics committees and offers them the opportunity to positively shape the ethical climate in the hospital. We call for a conceptual approach to the field of ethics training and discuss possible training goals and methods as well as necessary organizational ethical requirements and research desiderata.

The following contribution develops the thesis that comparative research in religious didactics is not a uniform and independent format alongside empirical, historical and systematic research, but is governed by their respective reference theories, subject areas and methods. The term "Format of didactic research" as defined by the Gesellschaft für Fachdidaktik (GFD e.V.) is therefore related to the dimensions of reference theories, subject areas and methodology elaborated by Ulrich Riegel and Martin Rothgangel, and to empirical-comparative, historical- comparative and systematic-comparative research in religious didactics. The question of the extent to which it makes sense at all to distinguish between comparative and noncomparative research and to what extent comparative studies has the potential to form an independent religious-didactic research format is also a subject of discussion. In addition to a discussion on the meta-level of scientific theory, a study on "Positioning Tasks in the Teaching of Religion and Ethics" will be examined with regard to the three aspects mentioned above.

The article focuses on the importance of non-verbal language in the liturgy. It notes that there is an understanding beyond words and pre-set encodings. It adds that the contribution is based on following examples and reflecting knowledge from them for the liturgy. It states that the liturgical reform after the Second Vatican Council repeatedly noted that the liturgy has been overly intellectualized and the mystry lost.

In accordance with their historically evolved origin and task, most of the German main and land studs go back to courtly stud estates, so-called „Hofgestüte“, in the majority of the 18th century. According to Lehndorff (1925), these studs had and would serve the purpose of serving as a model and pioneer for a proper and prosperous horse breeding until it reached the level that made the state stallions superfluous. This goal has been achieved in Germany for several decades. The main effort of the „Hofgestüte“ consisted of acquiring suitable stallions from Germany and abroad for covering the respective mares for their and their offspring improvement. The purpose of the horses of this time was to represent the hunting, riding and breeding of carriage horses, but above all, the breeding of suitable remontes for military service, in order to secure the military policy of the respective rulers. Above all, the selection of suitable stallions of different breeds and blood lines was used in order to produce the most suitable, genetically stabilized offspring from the heterogeneous gene pool of the mares. The capital for these financially and breeding-consuming enterprises came first from the various princely studs, then from the state, occasionally at that time by a few private breeders. The capital of these studs, from which they were to finance themselves, were and had to be the bred and sold horses as well as the revenues from the breeding business. This has not been guaranteed since the middle of the 20th century when it comes to state studs. Breeding and provision of large numbers of horses on the remounting was before their use in the various wars of the past, which would have been impossible without cavalry and infantry. To illustrate it is recalled that, for example, in the First World War on the part of the German army, 1.8 million horses fought, in the Second World War, this was then 2.7 million, of which 1.8 million did not survive this war. These figures also prove the eminent importance of the horse in this regard. In order to ensure this, the numbers of coverings of state stud farms during the last years of the war and post war years increased to three times the pre-war period. After that, the decline began. In the first 25 years after the end of the war, the number of National Studs was more than double that of today. This is demonstrated by examples of the stud farms of the ndividual federal states. At the end of the Second World War, the horse country Germany was also bled in hippological terms. With the rapid motorisation in agriculture and transport at that time, the disappearance of the horse from the armies, there seemed to be no future. How-ever, with the following economic boom, the German economic miracle, a slow, then nearly explosive development of equestrian sport and sport horse breeding went hand in hand. The meanwhile documented enormous number of national and international victories in all relevant disciplines, as well as the associated profit sums of German horses prove this. That the "German riding horse" has become a trademark was increasingly the merit of private breeders and stallion owners more than the German National Studs. The formerly significant influence of these studs with their breeders management, had to give way to the financially dominating businessmen. That's why, influence and horse numbers of National Studs in the sports segment fell. The horse has also become an economic factor through recreational and professional sport, which currently counts about 350 000 employees in horse related employment relationships and about one million registered horses in Germany. In this competitive economic structure, which disputes the National Studs largely their historically grown tasks and resulting business foundations, they must find alternative ways to survive, which are dictated by the commercial needs. Nevertheless, keeping these studs vital to life must be required because of the horses. The culture around the horse is to be seen and to be found in handling with this – respect with equine keeping and use. Above all, this should be taught and practiced in the National Studs, where the families of the stud guards have traditionally often worked for generations. In this, the real culture of man for the horse exists and must survive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: The aim of the article is to look at the first Renaissance biography written in Poland -- Life of Gregory of Sanok by Callimachus. Research method: A compositional analysis was carried out and anecdotes appearing in the work were pointed out. Anecdotes are one of the key elements of ancient biography, which Callimachus directly referred to. Results/Conclusions: The analysis carried out in this way not only shows the Renaissance reception of ancient patterns, but also the use of anecdotes, which has not changed since ancient times. Callimachus' work has a two-part structure - the first part refers to the tradition of Plutarch's biography, which is chronological; the other, however, follows the thematic pattern of Suetonius' biography. Anecdotes appearing in the work perform all the functions they performed in ancient works - they successfully carry out their tasks in new circumstances and with a new hero - a fifteenth-century Polish magnate.
