Ergänzung zur Stellungnahme des Zentrums für Lehrer*innenbildung der Universität Wien zum Lehrplan Digitale Grundbildung
Das neue Schulfach Digitale Grundbildung (DGB) wurde als Pflichtfach in der Sekundarstufe I mit überarbeitetem Lehrplan verankert – ein Grund zur Freude, dass der Digitalisierung auch innerhalb der schulische Bildung endlich die nötige Aufmerksamkeit gegeben wird. Das Fach stellt, besonders vor dem Hintergrund der Initiativen, die im Rahmen des 8-Punkte Plans der Bundesregierung gesetzt wurden, die notwendige Brücke zwischen Infrastruktur-Maßnahmen, Inhalten und der tatsächlichen Nutzung dieser Ressourcen dar.
Das neue Schulfach Digitale Grundbildung – eine Projektionsfläche für mannigfaltige Bedürfnislagen. Aus Informatikperspektive und Sicht der Wirtschaft bietet es eine Gelegenheit, kompetenzorientierten Informatikunterricht schon in der Sekundarstufe I beginnen zu lassen. Aus medienpädagogischem Betrachtungswinkel ist das Fach ein lang gewünschtes Gefäß, um jungen Menschen ein besseres Verständnis von Medien und eine kompetente Mediennutzung nahezubringen. Aus der im Folgenden abgebildeten Perspektive des Zentrums für Lehrer*innenbildung der Universität Wien bietet das Schulfach den notwendigen Rahmen, um zumindest ansatzweise inklusive, diversitätsgerechte und interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf die Digitalisierung und ihre sozialen, kulturellen, politschen und gesellschaftlichen Aus- und Wechselwirkungen zusammenzuführen
Occupational injuries among children and adolescents in Cusco Province: a cross-sectional study
Background: Although the number of child laborers in Latin America is generally high, data on occupational hazards and injuries is insufficient. The objective of this study was therefore to determine the lifetime prevalence of and risk factors for occupational injuries among working students (10-17 years old) in Cusco Province. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at five public night schools. 375 students (response 91.5%) completed an interview-based questionnaire on socio-demographics, work-related factors, and lifetime prevalence of occupational injuries. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate risk factors for different types and causes of occupational injuries. Results: Falls (11%), car accidents (9%) and physical violence (3%) were common causes of injuries in this population. Severe injuries (fractures, luxation or amputations) were reported by 3% of the population. A high daily income (>= 20 PEN, similar to 15 USD) was a statistically significant predictor for injuries caused by falls [OR 2.8; 95% CI 1.2-6.5] and physical violence at work [12.1; 1.3-115.9] whereas children born in Cusco and those working in the service sector were at higher risk of injuries caused by car accidents [3.7; 1.5-9.3 and 4.2; 1.2-15.3]. Conclusions: Occupational accidents among child workers attending public night schools are common in Cusco with a lifetime prevalence of 3% for severe injuries. High income seems to convince child laborers to accept poor working conditions
