Gender, Science and Mathematics
Throughout the Western world, the relationship between gender, science and math ematics has emerged as critical in a variety of contexts. In tertiary institutions, the study of "gender issues", frequently with reference to science and mathematics, is of central significance to many disciplines. Gender studies are being offered as sepa rate courses or parts of existing courses in preservice and postgraduate teacher edu cation, women's studies, technology studies and policy studies. In addition, in the broader context of education at all levels from primary/elementary through to higher, concerned policy-makers and practitioners frequently focus on the interaction of gender, science and mathema...
Applied Rasch Measurement: A Book of Exemplars
While the primary purpose of the book is a celebration of John’s contributions to the field of measurement, a second and related purpose is to provide a useful resource. We believe that the combination of the developmental history and theory of the method, the examples of its use in practice, some possible future directions, and software and data files will make this book a valuable resource for teachers and scholars of the Rasch method. This book is a tribute to Professor John P Keeves for the advocacy of the Rasch model in Australia. Happy 80th birthday John! xii There are good introductory texts on Item Response Theory, Objective Measurement and the Rasch model. However, for a beginning...
Energy and Culture
How will humanity continue to meet its energy needs without destroying the conditions necessary to sustain human life on earth? The search for an answer to this question depends as much on the past as on the present; and as much on the physical sciences as on the social sciences. This book offers a truly trans-disciplinary and trans-cultural look at the problem of energy production and consumption in modern times. Discussing issues of history, politics, science, risk, lifestyle and representation, contributors demonstrate that experiences through time can provide insights into the kinds of solutions that have succeeded, as well as reasons why other solutions have failed. They also show what different countries and cultures might learn from each other, emphasizing how discoveries in one discipline have inspired new approaches in another discipline. Among many other important conclusions, the book suggests that energy transitions do not occur simply because of the exhaustion of old energy sources, and any solutions to the incipient energy crisis of the 21st century will depend on people's perceptions of science, environment and risk, informed and shaped in turn by the media.

How in the World Do Students Read?
This booklet focuses on the reading literacy test scores of students in the grade levels where most 9 and 14 year olds were to be found in 32 systems of education. It describes the achievement levels of carefully selected probability samples of students in three domains of reading literacy and makes some preliminary interpretations of these results. The comparisons made in the test scores require the reader to assume that the tests were equally fair for all countries, that the tests were properly translated and administered, and that the student samples were comparable in age, in test motivation, and in their approach to test taking. Much effort was taken to ensure and to check on these possible influences. Where differences were still found to exist - for instance, in mean ages - comments have been made in the text and adjustments to the scores have been attempted.

Treeline
Il nostro pianeta è in iperventilazione e l'Artide si sta colorando di verde. La temperatura sale e la linea di confine delle foreste boreali, il secondo bioma più grande del pianeta, si sta spostando verso nord a ritmi vertiginosi, incorporando territori tipicamente occupati dalla tundra. Ben Rawlence ha viaggiato tra Scozia e Scandinavia, Siberia e Alaska per documentare cosa sta succedendo, descrivere l'impatto del cambiamento climatico e raccogliere le testimonianze delle popolazioni locali. Perché questa migrazione, scoperta di recente, avrà conseguenze enormi per la sopravvivenza della vita sulla Terra. E non bisogna dimenticare che esseri umani e alberi si sono evoluti insieme: Treeline ci manda un segnale d'allarme. Sta a noi decidere il prossimo passo.
Die Bildungsexpansion
Die Bildungsexpansion ist eine der prägenden Entwicklungen der Moderne. Aber welche Folgen ergeben sich daraus? Der prominent besetzte Band mit ausgewiesenen Experten der Thematik analysiert die Folgen, zeigt überblicksartig zentrale Themenfelder auf und diskutiert den neuesten Forschungsstand.
Science in the Modern World Polity
This work uses cross-national and longitudinal empirical research to explain the rise, nature, and impact of science as an authoritative worldwide institution. The authors analyze the ever-increasing investment in science, the diffusion of scientific discourse, and the hegemony of scientific organizations.
