Applied Social Sciences: Education Sciences is a collection of essays specific to the field of education. The volume contains both essays on general issues in education (education in antiquity, discipline in early childhood, quality of the educational process, formative assessment, pedagogical approaches to literature, teacher training, gender stereotypes in education, and education and media) and essays on education in elementary school (curriculum design options, and science achievement in early adolescence), in high school (age and learning context, performance evaluation, argumentation in the teaching of fiction, truancy, and student leadership styles), and in higher education (communica...
This collection of essays focuses on the important, but under-discussed, role of higher education institutions in both delivering academic programmes that provide relevant cognitive and professional skills and competences to future adult educators, and in being more actively involved in the current dialogue with regard to the professionalization paths of adult educators and trainers. The topics discussed here vary from the initial education and training of adult educators in higher education environments, to the role of universities as validating agencies of existing psycho-pedagogical competences for in-service adult educators. Particular attention is also drawn to the ways in which adult education policies and initial education and training opportunities for prospective adult educators affect the role of higher education institutions in terms of academic orientation and programme delivery.
The multiple facets of this volume belong to five large themes. The first theme, that of persuasion and manipulation, is studied here through electoral campaigns (i.e., mental filters used in voting manipulation, the mechanisms of vote mobilisation, manipulation and storytelling models). The institutionalization of education represents the second theme, approached here through specific interdisciplinary instruments: the intersection of higher education with public learning, the answers of the knowledge society to the issues of contemporary work problems, the institutional relationships used to solve educational problems specific to childhood and adolescence, as well as the role of media comp...
Odată creat şi mai apoi transmis, orice produs sau bun cultural tinde să devină, treptat şi urmând un proces aproape natural, un bun cu valoare identitară, fie particulară fie universală, adică, de fapt, o formă de patrimoniu. Ce este patrimoniul cultural şi cum se constituie el? Care este natura reprezentărilor și proceselor formative ale patrimoniului? Cum influențează noile mijloace de comunicare și socializare, noul mediu socio-economic, reprezentările ce îl alcătuiesc? Care este natura relației dintre patrimoniul cultural și mecanismele identitare? Cum pot fi caracterizate diferitele tipuri de identități în cadrul unei astfel de relaţii şi care-i sunt mijloacele de reprezentare specifice? Iată tot atâtea întrebări care au stat la baza unei cercetări aprofundate cu privire la definirea şi implicaţiile patrimoniului cultural în vieţile noastre, ale cărei răspunsuri îmbracă forma contribuţiilor ce alcătuiesc prezentul volum.
Buku ini berisikan tentang model pengembangan strategi perbaikan mutu pendidikan tinggi yang dilakukan di Universitas Pasifik Marotai sebagai lokus. Dari hasil pengembangan tersebut, kemudian melahirkan model KASE2F yang merupakan buah dari hasil kajian mendalam penulis. Model ini diharapkan dapat berkontribusi dalam meningkatkan mutu perguruan tinggi yang ada di seluruh Indonesia (secara umum) dan secara khusus pada Universitas Pasifik Marotai.
"The theme of Collective Capacity Building (CCB) is a comprehensive one, resonating with the complexity of the knowledge society. Such complexity requires contributions of a wide range of scientists, for a multidimensional understanding. Thus, philosophers, economists, educationalists, sociologists, political scientists, psychologists, scientists from Romania, Germany, Spain, Serbia, Greece, Cyprus, Latvia and Sweden have come together in Collective Capacity Building: Shaping Education and Communication in Knowledge Society. Their choice to discuss current societal challenges in different fields, in a transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary manner, illustrates how communication, education, i...
This edited book considers the main issues and controversies within the current educational context of inclusive education, from an international perspective. Authorities in the field such as Norwich, Kauffman, and Boyle, amongst many other international scholars, provide an enticing insight into many of the issues and controversies around inclusive education, and whether it is achievable or not. We have reached a point in time where inclusive education has been the prevailing doctrine for universal education policies. However, there are still many challenges facing those working within the inclusive education space, with some countries actually becoming less inclusive. International and nat...
Spintronics is an emerging technology exploiting the spin degree of freedom and has proved to be very promising for new types of fast electronic devices. Amongst the anticipated advantages of spintronics technologies, researchers have identified the non-volatile storage of data with high density and low energy consumption as particularly relevant. This monograph examines the concept of half-metallic compounds perspectives to obtain novel solutions and discusses several oxides such as perovskites, double perovskites and CrO2 as well as Heusler compounds. Such materials can be designed and made with high spin polarization and, especially in the case of Heusler compounds, many material-related ...
This book gives an overview of the physics of Heusler compounds ranging from fundamental properties of these alloys to their applications. Especially Heusler compounds as half-metallic ferromagnetic and topological insulators are important in condensed matter science due to their potential in magnetism and as materials for energy conversion. The book is written by world-leaders in this field. It offers an ideal reference to researchers at any level.
