  • Educational Design Research
    Educational Design Research Volume 5 | Issue 1 | 2021 | Article 32 Contribution Academic Article Type Title How does didactic knowledge develop? Experiences from a design project Author Peter F. E. Sloane University of Paderborn Germany Uwe Krakau Vocational College for Technology and Design of the City of Gelsenkirchen Germany Abstract We, the authors of the paper, have jointly conducted several design-based research (DBR) projects. The subject of this paper is a project lasting approximately 18 months, which dealt with the introduction of a new curriculum in a vocational college. We were involved in different roles: one as a representative of the research community and the other as a representative of the vocational college and thus of practice. In the project, different interests were considered: The research division wanted to generate knowledge while the practitioners were interested in implementing a curriculum and developing new forms of learning and teaching. It is not that we could always assign each of these two perspectives to exactly one of us, even though we were officially researchers and practitioners. We have always approached each other in our DBR projects. Both perspectives have been incorporated into the paper: One author is concerned with the genesis of knowledge – how knowledge is created in DBR projects, a partly methodological approach. The other author attempts to find theoretical points of reference and reassurances about the project work. This leads to very practical considerations. The project did not commence with an exactly defined problem; we began with broad concerns that had to be distilled into specific goals over the course of the project.

  • Heterogeneity in Marginal Non-Monetary Returns to Higher Education
    WP 15/24 Heterogeneity in Marginal Non-monetary Returns to Higher Education Daniel A. Kamhöfer; Hendrik Schmitz & Matthias Westphal October 2015 http://www.york.ac.uk/economics/postgrad/herc/hedg/wps/ Heterogeneity in Marginal Non-monetary Returns to Higher Education∗ Daniel A. Kamhofer¨ Hendrik Schmitz University of Duisburg-Essen University of Paderborn and CINCH, Essen and CINCH, Essen Matthias Westphal Ruhr Graduate School in Economics, University of Duisburg-Essen and CINCH, Essen October 2015 Abstract In this paper we estimate the effects of college education on cognitive abilities and health exploiting exogenous variation in college availability and student loan regu- lations. By means of semiparametric local instrumental variables techniques we es- timate marginal treatment effects in an environment of essential heterogeneity. The results suggest heterogeneous but always positive effects on cognitive skills and ho- mogeneously positive effects for all health outcomes but mental health, where the effects are around zero throughout. We find that likely mechanisms of positive phys- ical health returns are effects of college education on physically demanding activities on the job and health behavior such as smoking and drinking while mentally more demanding jobs might explain the skill returns.

  • ICIS 2017 Program Book
    Transforming Society with Digital Innovation Welcome to Seoul Dear friends and colleagues of the AIS Community: It is our great pleasure to welcome you for ICIS 2017 to Seoul, a vibrant city that has been the capital city of Korea, for more than 600 years! ICIS 2017 promises to be an exciting and intellectually stimulating event, with a program that features 406 paper presentations and 42 ancillary meetings of SIGs and chapters. The conference is also introducing a number of innovations. We are inaugurating the first paper-a-thon with 46 papers where co-authors will meet and create new knowledge in real-time, during the conference. In addition to the continuing tradition of the doctoral consortium, the conference includes a doctoral student corner and doctoral student reunion for the first time. The junior faculty consortium, mid-career faculty workshop, and senior scholar’s college will help colleagues at every stage of career development. We hope that the diverse spectrum of activities at ICIS 2017 will be an invaluable experience, enriching your interactions and knowledge exchange, and providing numerous opportunities to renew old relationships and build new ones. The theme of ICIS2017 is “Transforming Society with Digital Innovation.” All countries across the globe are moving in this direction. Korea has also been growing fast based on its manufacturing and operational capability for the past 50 years, and the Korean government and companies have expended considerable effort in developing digital capability to make the country grow further to benefit its citizens. Germany has initiated the industry 4.0 and platform industry 4.0, the U.S.A.
