This book addresses the current issues of inclusive education during the time of the global pandemic of COVID-19. It offers inclusive pedagogical strategies and approaches for teachers and instructors to cater for the diverse learning needs of children in the midst of the pandemic. The work explores different ways in which students in different contexts across the globe are being accommodated and shows how inclusion is being implemented. It draws on a range of theoretical frameworks and research projects to provide multiple perspectives on inclusive pedagogical practices.
This book discusses current market-based educational discourses and how they have undermined the notion of “the public” in public education by allowing private visions of education to define the public democratic imagination. Against this discouraging background, this text embraces Freire’s understanding of hope as an ontological need and calls for finding new public grounds for our public imagination. It further articulates Freire’s mandate to unveil historically concrete practices to sustain democratic educational visions, no matter how difficult this task may be, by (1) presenting an indepth description of the pedagogies and curriculums of eleven schools across historical and geog...
How do children construct, negotiate and organize space? The study of social space in any human group is fraught with limitations, and to these we must add the further limits involved in the study of childhood. Here specialists from archaeology, history, literature, architecture, didactics, museology and anthropology build a body of theoretical and methodological approaches about how space is articulated and organized around children and how this disposition affects the creation and maintenance of social identities. Children are considered as the main actors in historic dynamics of social change, from prehistory to the present day. Notions on space, childhood and the construction of both the...
This volume brings us closer to the dynamics of the educational world, especially students, from a wide range of national and regional scenarios, with a special focus on Europe and Latin America. In this way, a plural panorama is shown, in which the stories centered on the usual protagonists of the 1968 processes are accompanied by other scenarios, often considered secondary, but which this volume inserts in a more general story that helps us understand how the processes of the 60s were not concrete or national, but got an absolute regional and global significance. We see a complex process of transnational demand that ranged from Eastern Europe, included in the Soviet bloc, to the very heart...
La prensa pedagógica adopta formatos muy diferentes. Es la que producen los profesores de primaria y secundaria, y los de universidad, pero también es la prensa de los niños en las escuelas primarias, de los adolescentes en los colegios e institutos, y de los estudiantes universitarios en Colegios Mayores o asociaciones estudiantiles. A estos campos tan diferentes, pero complementarios, se van dedicando diferentes estudios, congresos y monografías desde hace ya algunos años, y en concreto desde la iniciativa investigadora y difusora del GIR Helmantica Paideia, de la Universidad de Salamanca. La colección Aquilafuente de Ediciones de la Universidad de Salamanca ha editado varios de esto...
Érase una vez un joven y pequeño país de manos y brazos alargados, colocado en una posición estratégica entre grandes de Europa, guardando siempre el equilibrio, que aspiró siempre a educar y formar a sus ciudadanos con criterio armonioso, práctico y científico, y fue alcanzando cotas de bienestar, cultura y vida democrática que le convierten en la envidia de medio mundo. Hablamos de Bélgica y su educación, pero sobre todo de la proyección e influencias externas e internacionales que logra alcanzar, apoyada en su sentido práctico para orientar la formación y la educación de niños, jóvenes y adultos.Bélgica es un crisol de culturas, lenguas y tradiciones que marcan su tradic...
El libro que hemos tenido a bien coordinar está dedicado a la figura y la obra de un «universitario ejemplar», como lo es, y siempre lo será, el profesor José María Hernández Díaz, Catedrático de Historia de la Educación de la USAL y docente de la misma durante 45 años. Ha sido posible gracias a la aportación generosa de amigos y compañeros de España, Portugal, Colombia, Italia, Gabón, Francia, México, Brasil, Bélgica, Países Bajos, Chile y Uruguay. Este es un documento que combina la cultura material y la inmaterial, el afecto y la consideración, lo social y lo académico, lo intelectual y lo universitario, la historia y el futuro, el saber y el saber hacer, el pensamient...
Discovering Literacy : Access Routes to Written Culture for a Group of Women in Mexico
More and more educational scenarios and learning landscapes are developed using blogs, wikis, podcasts and e-portfolios. Web 2.0 tools give learners more control, by allowing them to easily create, share or reuse their own learning materials, and these tools also enable social learning networks that bridge the border between formal and informal learning. However, practices of strategic innovation of universities, faculty development, assessment, evaluation and quality assurance have not fully accommodated these changes in technology and teaching. Ehlers and Schneckenberg present strategic approaches for innovation in universities. The contributions explore new models for developing and engag...
The Internet and associated technologies have been around for almost twenty years. Networked access and computer ownership are now the norm. There is a plethora of technologies that can be used to support learning, offering different ways in which learners can communicate with each other and their tutors, and providing them with access to interactive, multimedia content. However, these generic skills don’t necessarily translate seamlessly to an academic learning context. Appropriation of these technologies for academic purposes requires specific skills, which means that the way in which we design and support learning opportunities needs to provide appropriate support to harness the potential of technologies. More than ever before learners need supportive ‘learning pathways’ to enable them to blend formal educational offerings, with free resources and services. This requires a rethinking of the design process, to enable teachers to take account of a blended learning context.
