Though certainly not a new idea, citizenship education manifests in unique and often unpredictable ways in our contemporary neoliberal era. The question of what it means to be a productive and recognized citizen must now be understood simultaneously along both global and local lines. This edited volume offers an international perspective on citizenship education enacted in specific socio-political contexts. Each chapter includes a pointed conceptualization of citizenship education—a philosophical framework—that is then applied to specific national cases across Europe, Asia, Canada and more. Chapters emphasize how such frameworks are implemented within local contexts, encouraging particular pedagogical/curricular practices even as they constrain others. Chapters conclude with suggestions for productive change and how educators might usefully engage contemporary contexts through citizenship education.
The objective of achieving carbon neutrality serves as a crucial guiding principle in addressing the global issue of climate change and fostering sustainable economic growth and ecological harmony. Carbon emissions from land use account for 10% of the total global carbon emissions. It is an important carbon source and sink of the earth system. Therefore, optimizing the land spatial pattern is one of the important means to promote carbon neutralization. In 1997, Kyoto Protocol emphasized that countries could improve carbon sink capacity, reduce carbon emissions, and practice climate governance through afforestation, forest management and farmland management. In this context, countries worldwi...
This volume draws together interdisciplinary approaches from political philosophy, social work, medicine and sociology to analyze the theoretical foundations and practical examples of evidence-based and evidence-informed education for the public good. It presents a range of conceptions of the evidence-based and evidence-informed education and a justification for why the particular examples or issues chosen fit within that conception for the sake of public good. It explores the current literature on evidence-based and evidence-informed educational policy, research and practice, and introduces a new term, ‘evidence free’, meaning actions of some policymakers who disregard or misuse evidence for their own agenda. The demands about the quality and relevance of educational research to inform the policy and practice have been growing over the past decade in response to the Evidence-Based Education movement. However the literature is yet to tackle the question of the interrelationships between evidence, research, policy and practice in education for the public good in an international context. This book fills that gap.
Este trabajo contiene los resúmenes de las presentaciones orales que han tenido lugar en la reunión de doctorandos de los centros de investigación europeos (DLR-Alemania, CNRS–PROMES-Francia, CIEMAT-PSA-España, ETH Zurich-Suiza, CIESOL-UAL-España, IMDEA Energy-España, METU-Turquía) involucrados en el proyecto SFERA-III (European Union's Horizon2020 Research and Innovation programme, grant agreement n 823802). Todos ellos son claves para la investigación europea en energía solar térmica y fotoquímica solar. El programa ha estado organizado en diferentes sesiones técnicas que han versado sobre almacenamiento de energía, combustibles solares, estrategias de modelado y control, receptores solares de torre central, captadores para la concentración de energía solar y el nexo energía solar-agua-alimentación.

Examining teacher education in an international context, this book captures the diversity of the world's educators. Many countries confront surprisingly similar challenges in preparing K–12 educators for success, while national contexts also make for surprising differences. In Teaching the World's Teachers, education historians Lauren Lefty and James W. Fraser and their contributors make a convincing case for approaching these shared challenges from a more global and historically minded perspective. Written by education scholars from eleven different countries—Argentina, Brazil, Catalonia-Spain, China, England, Finland, Ghana, Israel, Singapore, South Africa, and the United States—this...
