Erfahrungen mit der Durchführung einer Befragung führender Positionsinhaber in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland werden mitgeteilt. Inhaltliche Schwerpunkte der Studie sind die Erhebung von Informationen über soziale Herkunft, Karrieremuster und politische Überzeugungen der Eliten. Außerdem wurden Netzwerkdaten über Beziehungen zwischen Organisationen und zwischen Personen erhoben. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, daß eine Elitenstudie besondere organisatorische Anforderungen an den Feldeinsatz stellt. Die Kontaktaufnahme erfordert ein besonderes Fingerspitzengefühl und muß in jedem Fall durch ein vorbereitendes Anschreiben erfolgen. Ist der Kontakt hergestellt und ein Termin vereinbart worden, ist die Interviewsituation jedoch im allgemeinen problemlos; Offenheit und Antwortbereitschaft sind groß; Datenschutzbedenken spielen eine marginale Rolle. Von großer Bedeutung ist die Seriosität der Untersuchung und die Glaubwürdigkeit der verantwortlichen wissenschaftlichen Leiter. (GB)

AbstractWe marshal discoveries about human behavior and learning from social science research and show how these can be used to improve teaching and learning. The discoveries are easily stated as three social science generalizations: (1) social connections motivate, (2) teaching teaches the teacher, and (3) instant feedback improves learning. We show how to apply these generalizations via innovations in modern information technology inside, outside, and across university classrooms. We also give concrete examples of these ideas from innovations we have experimented with in our own teaching.

El presente artículo expone las representaciones de los actores sociales que componen la nación entre un grupo de empresarios y ejecutivos pertenecientes a diversos gremios empresariales de Lima. En ese sentido, el trabajo recoge una serie de narrativas de los entrevistados en donde hacen un recorrido entre su trayectoria personal junto con el contexto que les tocó vivir. De esa forma, el objetivo del presente estudio es compartir las representaciones de las elites económicas más desde la narrativa y el testimonio que desde la estructura. Estas representaciones giran en torno a la representación sobre empresarios, el Estado y distintos grupos sociales. Así, la investigación nace de la necesidad de estudiar a los sectores más privilegiados desde la antropología porque ayuda a entender como en las sociedades latinoamericanas se ejerce el poder. Por ese motivo, exponemos primero el caso de estudio, la metodología empleada y los estudios realizados sobre elites económicas en el Perú.//This article exposes the representations of the social actors that make up the nation among a group of businessmen and executives belonging to various business associations in Lima. In that way, this work recollected narratives of their personal lives inside the social context. For that reason, the objective of these research was share the economic elite representations in the perspective of narratives and testimony instead of structure studies. These representations were around businessmen, the government and different social groups. In addition of this, the research is born from the need to study the most privileged sectors from anthropology because it helps to understand how in Latin American societies power is exercised. Finally, we exposed the case of study, the methodology used and the researches about economic elites in Peru.

The US gov does not have a soc sci policy, but the interaction between gov agencies & the large body of Amer soc sci'ts produces emphases & directions. Both soc sci'ts & gov agencies are loosely org'ed in a pluralistic & flexible fashion without central control despite several admin'ive attempts to supply it. Federal support for soc sci is largely centered in 4 agencies which provide 66.6% of the funds, although the diversity of agency support provides considerable flexibility. Soc sci'ts have found it advantageous to ally themselves with physical sci'ts in seeking support, with one result being the encouragement of empirically oriented res rather than humanistic res or pol'ly controversial subjects. 3 non-gov'al org's play special roles in soc sci policy; through study committees & advisory groups they provide emphases & development of uses of soc sci. 3 recent reports from these org's have made a, number of policy recommendations, including: greater representation of soc sci at high levels of sci policy-making; more use of collected data, but without infringing on individual privacy; development of soc indicators; improvement of educ in soc sci; increased internat'l collaboration among soc sci'ts; development of applied-behavioral-sci Sch's; inclusion of behavioral sci studies in curricula of professional Sch's. The principal emphasis of the recommendations is bringing soc sci into closer conjunction with the practical affairs of the society. HA.
