Achsendiagramme in der ökonomischen Bildung: Lernschwierigkeiten von Schüler*innen mit dem Preis-Mengen-Diagramm
by Jana FrankeÖkonomische Modelle werden durch bewusste Reduktion der Komplexität des Betrachteten mit dem Ziel des Erkenntnisgewinns entwickelt. Mithilfe von mathematischen Modellierungen können ökonomische Modelle exakter gefasst werden. Dieses Resultat ist ein wichtiges Werkzeug bei der Ermittlung und Darstellung von Systemzusammenhängen. Durch die Visualisierung der mathematischen Modellierungen mit dem Achsendiagramm werden abstrakte Zusammenhänge erkennbar und diskutierbar. Deshalb finden ökonomische Achsendiagramme in der Schule unter anderem als Hilfsmittel zur systematischen Betrachtung einzelner Einflussfaktoren eines komplexen Interaktionssystems, wie beispielsweise der Preisbildung auf Märkten, Einsatz. Die Visualisierung des ökonomischen Modells der Preisbildung auf Märkten mithilfe des Preis-Mengen-Diagramms kann dabei die ökonomischen Verständnisprozesse fördern, sie aber auch behindern. Inwieweit das Preis-Mengen-Diagramm somit Hilfsmittel und Hürde im Wirtschaftsunterricht darstellt, wird in diesem Buch untersucht. Dafür werden Lernschwierigkeiten von Schüler*innen beim Umgang mit und dem Wissen über die mathematische Modellierung des ökonomischen Modells der Preisbildung im vollkommenen Markt und dessen Visualisierung durch das Preis-Mengen-Diagramm identifiziert. Darauf aufbauend werden Implikationen für den Wirtschaftsunterricht abgeleitet.

Achtsamkeit und Innovation in integrierten Organisationen: Ein Leitfaden für digitale Pioniere und bewusste Zukunftsgestalter
by Martina DopferDieses Buch verbindet Methoden der Achtsamkeit mit Innovationsinstrumenten. Autorin Martina Dopfer demonstriert darin, wie Sie diese aktiv in den Organisations- und Arbeitsalltag integrieren können. Das Werk greift zum Beispiel die Frage auf, wie in Zeiten der Digitalisierung und des Wandels Führung und Mitarbeiter gemeinsam unternehmerisch denken können. Anhand aktueller neurowissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse, zeigt es Wege auf, mit Risiken umzugehen, Sinn als Wachstumschance zu sehen und Scheitern als Lernerfahrung anzunehmen.Indem sie die wissenschaftliche Forschung zu Achtsamkeit und Innovation in Verbindung zu über 1.000 Jahre alten Methoden bringt, verbindet die Autorin zwei Welten. Sie macht deutlich, warum innovative Führung von morgen eine Befähigung von Mitarbeitern bedeutet. Erfolgreich führen heißt, Mitarbeiter zu befähigen, gemäß ihrem Sinn unternehmerisch zu agieren und sie zu Offenheit und Innovation zu ermutigen.Übungen für mehr Achtsamkeit, die leicht in den (Arbeits-)Alltag einzubauen sind und Tests zur Selbstreflexion machen das Buch zu einem wertvollen Leitfaden für Personalentwickler, Führungskräfte und Unternehmer, sowie für jeden, der persönlich und beruflich wachsen möchte.

I closed Achtung Baby feeling more relaxed and confident.
