Udbredelse af og kendetegn ved undervisning af studerende udenfor læreruddannelsens mure

En femtedel af danske grundskoler praktiserer udeskole, der er regelmæssig undervisning udenfor skolens mure i folkeskolens almindelige fag. Centrale indsatser for udbredelse af udeskole, åben skole og bevægelse i undervisningen har bidraget til udviklingen af udeskole, men kvalificering af lærere til at varetage undervisningen har vist sig at være sporadisk. Spørgsmålet er, hvordan undervisning udenfor læreruddannelsens mure er udbredt og karakteriseret på læreruddannelsen. I sommeren 2022 modtog alle ansatte læreruddannere på professionshøjskolerne (N~814) en elektronisk survey. Resultaterne viser, at mindst hver tredje læreruddanner inddrog undervisning udenfor (svarprocent 38,2% (n=311)). Udbredelsen var størst for specialiseringsmoduler, naturfaglige og praktisk-æstetiske fag. Dette resultat er suppleret med nogle studerendes evalueringer af specialiseringsmoduler, der involverer udeskole og åben skole. Med reference til lærerstuderendes syn på forholdet mellem teori og praksis i specialiseringsmodulerne (opposition, simulation og refleksion) diskuteres udeundervisningens muligheder for at skabe broer og sammenhæng i en læreruddannelse uden specialiseringsmoduler (LU 23). Vi anbefaler, at udeundervisningen sikres i fagene

The murine lung microbiome in relation to the intestinal and vaginal bacterial communities

BACKGROUND: This work provides the first description of the bacterial population of the lung microbiota in mice. The aim of this study was to examine the lung microbiome in mice, the most used animal model for inflammatory lung diseases such as COPD, cystic fibrosis and asthma. Bacterial communities from broncho-alveolar lavage fluids and lung tissue were compared to samples taken from fecal matter (caecum) and vaginal lavage fluid from female BALB/cJ mice. RESULTS: Using a customized 16S rRNA sequencing protocol amplifying the V3-V4 region our study shows that the mice have a lung microbiome that cluster separately from mouse intestinal microbiome (caecum). The mouse lung microbiome is dominated by Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Cyanobacteria overlapping the vaginal microbiome. We also show that removal of host tissue or cells from lung fluid during the DNA extraction step has an impact on the resulting bacterial community profile. Sample preparation needs to be considered when choosing an extraction method and interpreting data. CONCLUSIONS: We have consistently amplified bacterial DNA from mouse lungs that is distinct from the intestinal microbiome in these mice. The gut microbiome has been extensively studied for its links to development of disease. Here we suggest that also the lung microbiome could be important in relation to inflammatory lung diseases. Further research is needed to understand the contribution of the lung microbiome and the gut-lung axis to the development of lung diseases such as COPD and asthma

Cultural appropriation of spaces and things

This proceedings volume gathers papers presented at the symposium “Cultural Appropriation of Spaces and Things” held in Siegen, Germany in October 2019. All over the world, children are confronted with an increasingly complicated and fast-moving world. Children need elementary cultural techniques and skills to shape their own lives and enable them to find individual interpretations of meaning. In addition to the acquisition of classical cultural techniques such as arithmetic, writing and reading, the competent handling of spaces and things – through manifold processes of appropriation and reflection – is crucial. It forms the basis and prerequisite for the development of competences or abilities that are suitable for understanding the dimensions, the complexity and changeability of their world and enable them to critically deal with associated problems and find appropriate solutions. The aim of the conference was to find suitable ways for children all over the world for a methodically and didactically guided examination of their natural, social and technical environment. At the same time, the aim was to achieve a mutual enrichment of monodisciplinary research accesses. It also included a self-critical reflection of one’s own culturally shaped approaches of research.Contents: Martin Gröger, Christian Prust, Alexandra Flügel: Preface LECTURES Alexandre Avelino Giffoni Junior, Sebastião Lázaro Pereira, Alberto Barella Netto: Haus Früher Hilfen UniRV: A historic building in process in the heart of Brazil Hyeongjoo Kim: Designing and Applying the Moral Turing Test for Korean Children Karen Barfod and Peer Daugbjerg: Teaching Science and Mathematics Outside the Classroom, a pilot study on assessing inquiry-based practices Jan Höper: Towards integrated science education by using mobile technologies outdoors WORKSHOPS Mareike Janssen: Exploring the things of life: First insights into chemical processes with sparkling water as an example Julia Gaffron, Martin Gröger: Children like to experiment, many teachers apparently do not Volker Heck: Alexander von Humboldt - The Voyage to the Americas as an approach to science in Primary School Thomas Sukopp: Interculturality in Philosophy Education: Challenges and Prospects of Education for Sustainable Development in Primary Schools POSTERS André Dorn, Martin Gröger: ESD in general studies -prospective general studies teachers deal with the educational concept of ESD in a student-oriented and cooperative manner Andree Georg: From Carlowitz to Sustainable Development and Education for Sustainable Development Irina Landrock: Children at NS Memorial Sites Dr. Markus Schaal: Martha Muchow in the Context of the New Sociology of Childhood What Can a Classic Still Teach Us Today?
