Participants will be provided with examples and methods for content analysis as part of research in didactics of mathematics and science, with a special emphasis on praxeological analysis in the sense of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic. Read more.
1st day : How to find and combine search terms and do a search in some of the different literature databases (i.e. Web of Science, Biosis, Medline, CAB Abstracts etc.). You will learn how to save your search history , to locate the literature and to download references to your own database.
2nd day : How to organize your own literature references with either EndNote or Reference Mananager - the 2 reference management software, the university subscribes to - after your own choice. This software is closely integrated with your word processor, and allows you to cite references in your report or articles and include a bibliography at the end in the specific layout demanded by the different periodicals (i.e. Science or Nature), a so called output style. In the whole you will learn the basics in working with the reference handling tool.
