"Was gemessen wird, kann auch gemanagt werden; und was gemessen wird, bestimmt schlussendlich was geschieht.“ Stimmt das wirklich?
Entwicklungsforschende, Politiker:innen und internationale Organisationen benötigen immer mehr und immer genauere Daten über die Bevölkerung, ihre Gesundheit, Einkommen etc., um auf die Herausforderungen in einkommensschwachen Ländern wirksam reagieren zu können.
Die große Abhängigkeit von diesen Daten birgt jedoch Risiken.
Seidler zeigt erstmals, dass wir dort, wo es am wichtigsten ist - auf der Ebene der Bezirke und Dörfer - nicht blindlings von einer einheitlich verlässlichen Datenqualität ausgehen können. Das Ergebnis: Gerade in abgelegenen Dörfern, dort wo die Armut am größten ist, sind viele Daten einfach falsch. Ohne es zu wissen, sind Entscheidungsträger:innen, Hilfsorganisationen "blind" - was sich negativ auf Hilfmaßnahmen für diese Bevölkerungsgruppen auswirken kann.

Experiment / VorführungJoint visual search can facilitate learning of spatial regularityNeuThema: Gesundheit NaturwissenschaftenPrevious studies have shown that two people acting together can entail cognitive processes as if they act as one. While literature of visual learning suggested the link between action and learning, little was investigated in a social situation. The research project of Chifumi Sakata investigated how acting together affects learning of spatial layout.Central European University17:00 - 22:00
