The Appalachian Mountains attracted an endless stream of visitors in the twentieth century, each bearing visions of what they would encounter. Well before large numbers of tourists took to the mountains in the latter half of the century, however, networks of missionaries, sociologists, folklorists, doctors, artists, and conservationists made Appalachia their primary site for fieldwork. In Proving Ground, Edward Slavishak studies several of these interlopers to show that the travelers' tales were the foundation of powerful forms of insider knowledge. Following four individuals and one cohort as they climbed professional ladders via the Appalachian Mountains, Slavishak argues that these visitors represented occupational and recreational groups that used Appalachia to gain precious expertise. Time spent in the mountains, in the guise of work (or play that mimicked work), distinguished travelers as master problem-solvers and transformed Appalachia into a proving ground for preservationists, planners, hikers, anthropologists, and photographers. Based on archival materials from outdoors clubs, trade journals, field notes, correspondence, National Park Service records, civic promotional materials, and photographs, Proving Ground presents mountain landscapes as a fluid combination of embodied sensation, narrative fantasy, and class privilege. Touching on critical regionalism and mobility studies, this book is a boundary-pushing cultural history of expertise, an environmental history of the Appalachian Mountains, and a historical geography of spaces and places in the twentieth century.

The ERiK-Methodological Report III is the third in a series of methodological reports related to the &#39;Entwicklung von Rahmenbedingungen in der Kindertagesbetreuung -indikatorengest&#252;tzte Qualit&#228;tsbeobachtung (ERiK)&#39; study. The report focuses on the conception, sample selection, and survey designs of the ERiK-Surveys 2022. Together with the ERiK-Methodological Report I and II, that cover the ERiK Surveys 2020, it provides comprehensive background information on the ERiK-Surveys conducted in 2022 and describes their progression until December 31, 2021. The subsequent steps, such as implementing the ERiK-Surveys 2022, will be described in a later report.

Lehrkräfte und pädagogische Fachkräfte finden in diesem Buch Anregungen und Orientierungspunkte, um das Thema Reparieren didaktisch in ihre Schule zu integrieren. Die Autorinnen zeigen zunächst Sinnperspektiven des Reparierens von Alltagsgegenständen auf, die dessen Bedeutung als Bildungsthema unterstreichen. Dabei geht es um mehr als die Übernahme von Verantwortung für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung: Reparieren wird als einfühlsamer und innovativer Umgang mit den Dingen, als Improvisation, Neuerfindung und emotionale Arbeit beschrieben, die ermächtigend wirkt. Im zweiten Teil geht es um die praktische Gestaltung von Reparaturlernangeboten an Schulen. Dazu werden die Ergebnisse einer Studie herangezogen, für die Lehrende in ganz Deutschland befragt wurden. Sie haben sehr unterschiedliche Formate erprobt und weiterentwickelt. Ihre Erfahrungsberichte zeigen, dass Reparaturlernangebote der Unvorhersehbarkeit des Reparaturgegenstandes didaktisch erfolgreich begegnen können. Welche Besonderheiten bei bestimmten Gegenständen vom Gartenwerkzeug bis zum Smartphone zu beachten sind, welche Überlegungen zur Sicherheit angestellt werden müssen und welche Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten es gibt, wird ebenso analysiert, wie die Möglichkeiten, die sich innerhalb bestimmter Bedingungen vor Ort ergeben. Auch für eine Schule ohne Werkstattraum, auch für eine Lehrkraft ohne spezielle Reparaturkenntnisse ist die Möglichkeit gegeben, das Thema Reparieren in die Schule zu bringen, sei es im Regelunterricht, in der AG oder am Wandertag.

Cognitive building is a pioneering topic envisioning the future of our built environment. The concept of "cognitive" provides a paradigm shift that steps from the static concept of the building as a container of human activities towards the modernist vision of "machine à habiter" of Le Corbusier, where the technological content adds the capability of learning from users' behavior and environmental variables to adapt itself to achieve major goals such as user comfort, energy-saving, flexible functionality, high durability, and good maintainability. The concept is based on digital frameworks and IoT networks towards the concept of a smart city.

Since the introduction of the iPad in 2010, tablet computers and other mobile devices have made broad inroads in education. Apple’s iPads, and devices made by Samsung, Microsoft, Lenovo, Xperia and others, including many smartphones, have risen beyond simple consumption of web and video content. Their utility is extended and multiplied by a proliferation of application programs – apps. Using a wide variety of apps, tablets now offer exceptional educational opportunities for both teacher and student. This book offers examples of the ways that mobile technologies, fuelled with a collection of apps and sparked by the leadership of a creative tutor, can significantly enhance education in general, and especially fieldwork. In a remote valley or a seminar room, done individually or in a team, fieldwork offers unrivalled opportunities for active learning. Tablets, with their high definition displays, long battery life and built-in photo, video and sound recording ability, can serve as notebooks, e-book readers and much more. Accordingly, students can develop their individual or Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) and link these with their colleagues in Group Learning Environments (GLEs). This book shows how tablets (and smartphones) using a variety of selected ‘apps’, can enhance fieldwork and other out-of-classroom activities. The authors review imaginative uses of tablets from their own project and as well as examples from other colleagues. To help readers keep abreast of new technology and innovative ways to use it, the book is supported by a web site and a social media community. The book shows how to make the most creative use of the capabilities of tablets, including: - Note taking and recording - Capturing and utilizing still images, video and sound - Data collection, sharing and processing - Mapping, geo-referencing and geotagging - Networking and communicating Much more than just a survey of rapidly developing hardware and apps, the book empowers educators to develop novel pedagogic approaches that make the most of digital technologies to enhance fieldwork teaching and learning.
