How to study what people do. Praxeological ways to analyse doing music

From her perspective as a researcher in educational science, the author from Germany presents praxeological ways to analyse doing music. She introduces praxis theory and its methodological consequences for empirical research. With regard to a study concerning girls’ fan culture she shows how praxeological research can provide insight into practices of doing music and doing fan and/or youth culture and how these practices are related to each other. On this basis, she discusses the potential of these approaches to research for (music) education. This article is part of the anthology European Perspectives on Music Education, Volume 11, which focusses on music practices in the classroom, diversity in music making, learning and teaching and praxeological perspectives on music education.

Wenn niemand zu Schaden kommen darf: eine kulturvergleichende Analyse schulischer Praktiken der Konfliktbearbeitung

"In diesem Beitrag werden Praktiken der Differenzbearbeitung bezüglich der sie rahmenden Normen der Anerkennung sowie ihrer inkludierenden bzw. exkludierenden Effekte untersucht. Theoretische Bezugspunkte sind hierbei neben praxistheoretischen Überlegungen das Anerkennungskonzept Judith Butlers sowie dessen Rezeption in der Erziehungswissenschaft. Die Spezifik dieses Zugangs wird auf der Grundlage einer rekonstruktiven Interpretation zweier videografierter Szenen aufgezeigt, die jeweils Praktiken der Konfliktbearbeitungen zeigen. Diese stammen aus einem ethnografisch angelegten, kulturvergleichenden Forschungsprojekt, das auf eine Untersuchung der pädagogischen Beziehungen an einer Berliner und einer Londoner Grundschule ausgerichtet war. Die komparative Analyse der beiden Szenen erlaubt es einerseits, kulturspezifisch differierende Normen der Anerkennung und entsprechender inkludierender und exkludierender Effekte herauszuarbeiten und andererseits die Potenziale eines einerseits anerkennungstheoretischen und andererseits praxeologisch und videografisch orientierten Zugangs auszuloten." (Autorenreferat)"In this contribution the practical handling of differences is analysed as being framed by norms of recognition, which are examined in relation to their inclusive, respectively exclusive effects. The theoretical framework of this approach is informed by practice theory as well as Judith Butler's theory of recognition and its reception in education. This approach is demonstrated by an interpretation of two video scenes, which both show practices of handling conflicts. Those scenes are taken from an ethnographic, cross-cultural and comparative research project, which targeted pedagogical relationships in two primary schools, situated in London and Berlin. On the basis of a comparative analysis of both scenes, on the one hand, culturally different norms of recognition and their inclusive and exclusive effects can be shown. On the other hand, the potential of the chosen theoretical framework and methodical approach based on video-analysis is carved out." (author's abstract

Sozialisationsinstanz "Teenie-Band": fankulturelle Aktionismen als sinnhafte Praktiken der Verhandlung des Überganges von der Kindheit in die Jugendphase

"Die Zeit des Überganges zwischen Kindheit und Jugendphase geht mit habituellen Verunsicherungen und neuen Anforderungen einher, die heute insbesondere auch in und mit den Jugendmedien verhandelt werden. Im geplanten Beitrag wird am Beispiel des kulturellen Engagements weiblicher Pop-Fans diskutiert, inwiefern das Medien-Arrangement 'Teenie-Band' als Sozialisationsinstanz in Bezug auf Auseinandersetzungen vor allem mit Fragen des eigenen Begehrens und der Geschlechtsidentität gelten kann. Hierbei soll vor allem auf folgende methodische und theoretische Probleme eingegangen werden: Wie ist es in einer empirischen Medienforschung möglich, jene jugendkulturellen Praktiken angemessen zu erfassen, die zwar in der Medienrezeption ihren Ausgang nehmen, letztlich jedoch unabhängig von dieser verlaufen? Gerade das Engagement von Fans wird häufig als besonders unreflektierter und unkritischer Umgang mit medial vermittelten Bedeutungen verstanden. Insbesondere im Cultural Studies-Kontext ist jedoch auch auf die widerständigen Elemente der Fan-Kultur verwiesen worden. Im geplanten Beitrag soll eine Perspektive auf die Kultur der Pop-Fans vorgestellt werden, die eine derartige Dichotomie von angepasst versus widerständig überschreitet. Vor dem Hintergrund einer zunehmenden Kritik an einer Konzeption von Sozialisation als teleologischer Abarbeitung von 'Entwicklungsaufgaben' wird diskutiert, ob und inwiefern auch nicht-rationale und hoch emotionale Elemente der Fan-Kultur (wie etwa das Schreien auf Konzerten) als sinnhafte 'Aktionismen' verstanden werden können, die der Verhandlung normativer Anforderungen im Zuge des Älterwerdens dienen."

Das Andere aus dem standortgebundenen Bilde heraus verstehen: Potenziale der dokumentarischen Methode in kulturvergleichend angelegten Studien

"Am Beispiel einer aktuellen Studie zu pädagogischen Beziehungen an deutschen und englischen Grundschulen werden im Beitrag Potenziale der dokumentarischen Methode für kulturvergleichende Forschungen diskutiert. Zunächst wird auf der Grundlage eines praxeologischen Kulturbegriffs auf methodologische Herausforderungen derartiger Untersuchungen eingegangen, wobei eine Sensibilisierung für die Überlagerung verschiedener Sinnelemente aus unterschiedlichen Räumen und Zeiten in denPraktiken der Akteure gefordert wird. In einem nächsten Schritt erfolgt eine Erörterung der Konsequenzen von Karl Mannheims Annahme einer Standortgebundenheit des Wissens für eine kulturvergleichende Methodologie und Möglichkeiten der Interpretation und Übersetzung transnational erhobenen Materials. Weiterhin werden die komparative Analyse und Typenbildung in der dokumentarischen Methode in Hinblick auf ihr Potenzial im Kulturvergleich analysiert. Schließlich wird der reflexiv-responsive Ansatz des Vergleichs erörtert, der in der beispielhaft angeführten Studie gewählt wurde. Anhand der Analyse eines responsiven Gesprächs wird der Erkenntnisgewinn dieses Zugangs verdeutlicht, der Einblicke in die komplexe Verflechtung des 'eigenen' mit den 'anderen' erlaubt." (Autorenreferat)"The paper discusses potentials of the documentary method in cultural comparative research projects, referring to the example of a currently undertaken study about teacher-student-relationships at two primary schools situated in Berlin and London. Firstly, based on a praxeological concept of culture, methodological challenges of such studies are labelled. In this regard, a sensitivity for the overlay of meanings originating in different spaces and times in agent's practices is demanded. The paper argues consequences of Karl Mannheim's assumption about the situatedness of knowledge and points to possibilities of interpretation and translation of crossnational collected data. Potentials of comparative analysis and generation of types in documentary method are analysed in respect to cultural comparison. Finally the reflective-responsive approach in comparison is explained, which has been chosen in the exemplary study. An analysis of a responsive discussion shall clarify the benefits of this approach, which offers insights in the complex integration of the 'own' and the 'other'." (author's abstract

Biofunctionalization of zinc oxide nanowires for DNA sensory applications

We report on the biofunctionalization of zinc oxide nanowires for the attachment of DNA target molecules on the nanowire surface. With the organosilane glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane acting as a bifunctional linker, amino-modified capture molecule oligonucleotides have been immobilized on the nanowire surface. The dye-marked DNA molecules were detected via fluorescence microscopy, and our results reveal a successful attachment of DNA capture molecules onto the nanowire surface. The electrical field effect induced by the negatively charged attached DNA molecules should be able to control the electrical properties of the nanowires and gives way to a ZnO nanowire-based biosensing device

Quantifying sources of variability in infancy research using the infant-directed-speech preference

Psychological scientists have become increasingly concerned with issues related to methodology and replicability, and infancy researchers in particular face specific challenges related to replicability: For example, high-powered studies are difficult to conduct, testing conditions vary across labs, and different labs have access to different infant populations. Addressing these concerns, we report on a large-scale, multisite study aimed at (a) assessing the overall replicability of a single theoretically important phenomenon and (b) examining methodological, cultural, and developmental moderators. We focus on infants’ preference for infant-directed speech (IDS) over adult-directed speech (ADS). Stimuli of mothers speaking to their infants and to an adult in North American English were created using seminaturalistic laboratory-based audio recordings. Infants’ relative preference for IDS and ADS was assessed across 67 laboratories in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia using the three common methods for measuring infants’ discrimination (head-turn preference, central fixation, and eye tracking). The overall meta-analytic effect size (Cohen’s d) was 0.35, 95% confidence interval = [0.29, 0.42], which was reliably above zero but smaller than the meta-analytic mean computed from previous literature (0.67). The IDS preference was significantly stronger in older children, in those children for whom the stimuli matched their native language and dialect, and in data from labs using the head-turn preference procedure. Together, these findings replicate the IDS preference but suggest that its magnitude is modulated by development, native-language experience, and testing procedure.
