Wissenschaftliches Denken, Arbeiten und Schreiben (iversity)

Wissenschaftliches Denken, Arbeiten und Schreiben (iversity)

Willst du bereits vor dem Studium die Grundlagen des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens erlernen? Oder steht die erste große Hausarbeit an und du möchtest wissen, wie du am besten vorgehst? Hier lernst du, wie du jede wissenschaftliche Arbeit meisterst.

Wir möchten mit Ihnen das wissenschaftliche Denken, Arbeiten und Schreiben entwickeln.
Der Kurs beginnt Philosophisch. Wir werden erörtern, was Wissenschaft tut und wie sie sich vom Alltagswissen unterscheidet. Danach wird es aber schnell praktisch und wir führen Sie zu einer eigenen kleinen Hausarbeit, die bereits Hochschulniveau entspricht. Alle Grundtechniken wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens von Zitation bis Datenerhebung werden hierbei vermittelt, wir sprechen dabei auch über Lerntypen und Arbeitsorganisation.
Was werde ich lernen?

  • Warum und wie man Wissenschaft betreiben kann,
  • Wie man eine Hausarbeit schreibt (Thema, Recherche, Auswertung, Schreiben)
  • Wie man mit der eigenen Arbeitsweise zum Erfolg kommt.
  • Wie man richtig zitiert und Quellenangaben macht.
  • Wie und warum man Daten sammelt und auswertet um bestimmte Fragen zu beantworten.

Introduction to Genetics and Evolution (Coursera)

Introduction to Genetics and Evolution is a college-level class being offered simultaneously to new students at Duke University. The course gives interested people a very basic overview of some principles behind these very fundamental areas of biology. We often hear about new "genome sequences," commercial kits that can tell you about your ancestry (including pre-human) from your DNA or disease predispositions, debates about the truth of evolution, why animals behave the way they do, and how people found "genetic evidence for natural selection." This course provides the basic biology you need to understand all of these issues better, tries to clarify some misconceptions, and tries to prepare students for future, more advanced coursework in Biology (and especially evolutionary genetics). No prior coursework is assumed.

Science & Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to Soft Matter Science (chemistry) (edX)

Top chefs and Harvard researchers explore how everyday cooking and haute cuisine can illuminate basic principles in chemistry, physics, and engineering. Learn about food molecules and how chemical reactions can affect food texture and flavor. During each module of this course, chefs reveal the secrets behind some of their most famous culinary creations — often right in their own restaurants. Inspired by such cooking mastery, the Harvard team will then explain the science behind the recipe.

La enseñanza de las Ciencias Naturales en la escuela primaria (Coursera)

Los científicos y las científicas son “aprendices profesionales”: se dedican a formular preguntas, encontrar observaciones discordantes, poner en duda aquello que no cierra y construir nuevas respuestas que permitan entender mejor el mundo en que vivimos. En este curso, desarrollarás las estrategias necesarias para lograr que tus estudiantes aprendan no sólo conocimientos científicos conceptuales sino también aquellas herramientas que les permitan investigar el mundo que los rodea, de modo similar a como hacen los científicos y científicas.

Philosophy, Science and Religion: Science and Philosophy (Coursera) Coursera

Philosophy, Science and Religion: Science and Philosophy (Coursera)

Philosophy, Science and Religion mark three of the most fundamental modes of thinking about the world and our place in it. Are these modes incompatible? Put another way: is the intellectually responsible thing to do to ‘pick sides’ and identify with one of these approaches at the exclusion of others? Or, are they complementary or mutually supportive? As is typical of questions of such magnitude, the devil is in the details. For example, it is important to work out what is really distinctive about each of these ways of inquiring about the world. In order to gain some clarity here, we’ll be investigating what some of the current leading thinkers in philosophy, science and religion are actually doing.

The four million years old bone of Australopithecus anamensis is the oldest undisputed evidence for bipedalism in our lineage. Similarly, Lucy’s, who was Australopithecus afarensis, fossil also helped scientists discover a lot about how bipedalism evolved over time.

The Science of Gastronomy (Coursera)

This course introduces a number of basic scientific principles underpinning the methodology of cooking, food preparation and the enjoyment of food. All topics covered have a strong basis in biology, chemistry, and physics application. Among others, they include the consumption of cooked food, the physiological and evolutionary implication of the senses, geographic and cultural influences on food, and the rationale behind food preparation. We will also discuss issues such as coupling of senses to improve sense stimulation; altering flavor by chemical means; and modification of the coloration to improve the appearance of dishes. Following the video demonstrations of the scientific principles of cooking, you will learn to recognize the key ingredients and their combinations for preparing good healthy food.
