The bibliography offers information on research about writing and written language over the past 50 years. No comprehensive bibliography on this subject has been published since Sattler's (1935) handbook. With a selection of some 27,500 titles it covers the most important literature in all scientific fields relating to writing. Emphasis has been placed on the interdisciplinary organization of the bibliography, creating many points of common interest for literacy experts, educationalists, psychologists, sociologists, linguists, cultural anthropologists, and historians. The bibliography is organized in such a way as to provide the specialist as well as the researcher in neighboring disciplines with access to the relevant literature on writing in a given field. While necessarily selective, it also offers information on more specialized bibliographies. In addition, an overview of norms and standards concerning 'script and writing' will prove very useful for non-professional readers. It is, therefore, also of interest to the generally interested public as a reference work for the humanities.
In formal education, a curriculum (plural curricula) is the set of courses, and their content, offered at a school or university. As an idea, curriculum stems from the Latin word for race course, referring to the course of deeds and experiences through which children grow and mature in becoming adults. Crucial to the curriculum is the definition of the course objectives that usually are expressed as learning outcomes and normally include the program's assessment strategy. These outcomes and assessments are grouped as units (or modules), and, therefore, the curriculum comprises a collection of such units, each, in turn, comprising a specialised, specific part of the curriculum. So, a typical curriculum includes communications, numeracy, information technology, and social skills units, with specific, specialised teaching of each. This book presents research on educational curricula from around the world.
Literacy research has continued to develop at a rapid pace in these last five years of the millennium. New ideas about how children learn to read have led to a better understanding of the causes of progress and failure in the mastery of literacy, with repercussions for children's assessment and teacher education. These new discoveries also allow teachers to transcend the old debates in reading instruction (phonics versus whole language) and offer the path to a synthesis. At the same time, research with teachers about their own implementation of methods and the development of their own knowledge about the teaching of literacy has produced a fresh analysis of the practice of literacy teaching. Inspired by these developments, teachers, teacher educators and researchers worked together to produce this volume, which promotes the integration of literacy research and practice.
This textbook considers and addresses the design of online learning objects, electronic textbooks, short courses, long courses, MOOC courses, and other types of contents for open sharing. It also considers the design of online mediated communities to enhance such learning. The “openness” may be open-access, and/or it may even be open-source. The learning may range from self-directed and automated to AI robot-led to instructor-led. The main concept of this work is that design learning for open sharing, requires different considerations than when designing for closed and proprietary contexts. Open sharing of learning contents requires a different sense of laws (intellectual property, learn...
Errors are information. In contrastive linguistics, they are thought to be caused by unconscious transfer of mother tongue structures to the system of the target language and give information about both systems. In the interlanguage hypothesis of second language acquisition, errors are indicative of the different intermediate learning levels and are useful pedagogical feedback. In both cases error analysis is an essential methodological tool for diagnosis and evaluation of the language acquisition process. Errors, too, give information in psychoanalysis (e.g., the Freudian slip), in language universal research, and in other fields of linguistics, such as linguistic change.This bibliography i...
Globalisation and efforts for equality nowadays go together with the debate on differences and diversity within countries, societies and organisations. With regard to the educational system in most European countries similar trends can be observed recently: an increasing educational success of women and their growing participation in the labour force, the changing age structure of students due to the demographic change, efforts to improve the situation of handicapped people in education, and the consequences of international migration movements for the educational system. Thus 'diversity' and 'diversity management' have become very popular topics in educational research and policy all over Europe. This book is the documentation of an international workshop of researchers from Poland, Germany and France. It combines articles on 'diversity' from different disciplines. With its interdisciplinary and international, i.e. European, perspective, it leads to a better understanding of the phenomenon. It can improve the 'diversity competence' in research and training and is particularly appropriate for international study programmes.
This volume aims to provide an interdisciplinary and pragmatic, policy-oriented contribution to the current debate about educational reform. It assembles articles by experts on education and educational policy from various scientific disciplines and professional backgrounds. Based on a section considering general pedagogical, economic, political and methodological aspects, a number of country-specific contributions cast some light on the differing frameworks, approaches and experiences in recent education policy and education reform in number of countries of the western world.
Zahlreiche Einzelschulen, aber auch ganze Bundesländer, haben damit begonnen, einen Schulanfang ohne Auslese zu realisieren. Vielfalt im Anfangsunterricht wird möglich durch die Gestaltung von guten Ordnungen. Das Buch bietet eine grundlegende Einführung und informiert umfassend über pädagogisch-praktische Konzepte. Der Anfangsunterricht befindet sich gegenwärtig in einem Prozeß tiefgreifender Veränderungen: Innovative Grundschulpädagogik, veränderte Kindheit und demographische Entwicklungen führen dazu, daß das erste Schuljahr nicht mehr homogene Jahrgangsklasse ist, sondern zur heterogenen Lerngruppe wird. Gelingender Anfangsunterricht heute entspricht einer Pädagogik der Viel...
Die schulische Leistungsbewertung und die Lernkultur bedingen einander wechselseitig. Das, was geprüft und beurteilt wird, bestimmt in großem Maße das, was gelernt wird. Darüber hinaus bestimmt aber auch die Art, wie geprüft und beurteilt wird, die Lernkultur. Alle Versuche, eine neue Lernkulturan Schulen zu etablieren, stoßen daher an Grenzen, wenn nicht auch das System der Prüfung und Beurteilung der Schülerleistungen reformiert wird. Die Widersprüche zwischen neuen Formen des Lehrens und Lernens einerseits und der herkömmlichen Leistungsbeurteilung andererseits werden von Lehrern und Wissenschaftlern zunehmend als problematisch eingeschätzt, und die Suche nachneuen Verfahren ha...
