Technology Teachers as Researchers
This book presents the scientific output of the TUFF research school in Sweden. In this school, a group of active teachers worked together on a series of educational research studies. All of those studies were related to the teaching about technology and engineering. The research program consisted of studies at various angles of view: a philosophical view, a national view, and a classroom practice view. The book is a showcase of how a well-conducted research program for teachers can lead to good contributions to technology education research. A selection of topics: the nature of technological knowledge, mental images of engineers and engineering, the process of choosing for a study in technology, teachers’ beliefs about technology education and assessment. These topics are directly related to major issues in the international technology education research agenda. The studies presented here were the basis of the authors’ Ph.D. theses. The teachers’ chapters are preceded by a description of ideas behind the TUFF research school and the way it was realized.
Pre-university Engineering Education
Pre-university engineering education has become the topic of increasing interest in technology education circles. It can provide content for the E in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education, which is in the interest of technology educators at different educational levels as it builds the bridge between them and the science and mathematics educators. In this book goals for pre-university engineering education are explored as well as existing practices from a variety of countries. The coming years will show if pre-university engineering education will catch on. The trend towards STEM integrated education that today can be seen in many countries will certainly create a further need and stimulus for that to happen. Hopefully this book can contribute to such a development of both formal and informal K-12 engineering education. Not only for preparing the next generation of engineers, but also for the technological literacy of future citizens.
The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering
Engineering has always been a part of human life but has only recently become the subject matter of systematic philosophical inquiry. The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering presents the state-of-the-art of this field and lays a foundation for shaping future conversations within it. With a broad scholarly scope and 55 chapters contributed by both established experts and fresh voices in the field, the Handbook provides valuable insights into this dynamic and fast-growing field. The volume focuses on central issues and debates, established themes, and new developments in: Foundational perspectives Engineering reasoning Ontology Engineering design processes Engineering activitie...
Teaching and Learning Strategies for Sustainable Development
This timely book explores the sustainable development goals, how well universities have been able to integrate them into their curriculum, and how universities can institutionalize the goals and sustainable development into their strategic plans and institutional culture
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Technology
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Technology gives readers a view into this increasingly vital and urgently needed domain of philosophical understanding, offering an in-depth collection of leading and emerging voices in the philosophy of technology. The thirty-two contributions in this volume cut across and connect diverse philosophical traditions and methodologies. They reveal the often-neglected importance of technology for virtually every subfield of philosophy, including ethics, epistemology, philosophy of science, metaphysics, aesthetics, philosophy of language, and political theory. The Handbook also gives readers a new sense of what philosophy looks like when fully engaged with the...
Lustpunkten : En bok om inlärning utan utbildning
"Lustpunkten är den punkt i hjärnan som lärandet måste nå om inlärningen ska ta fart. Når man lustpunkten går det helt enkelt inte att låta bli att lära sig nya saker." Att man kan lära sig saker på egen hand, av ren lust, bara för att det är roligt, är den bärande idén i Åsa Mobergs bok om inlärning och utbildning. Med sig själv som exempel diskuterar hon vår övertro på skola, utbildning och formell kompetens. Hon gav upp mitt i gymnasiet när kampen mot latinet blev henne övermäktig. Hon började sitt yrkesliv som modepraktikant när hon var nitton och som tjugoåring blev hon kolumnist på Aftonbladet. Utbildning blev det inte tid för, men en hel del tycker hon s...
Grundriss Wissenschaftsphilosophie
Der Band bietet eine breite Einführung in die Wissenschaftsphilosophie, die sich (anders als die meisten verfügbaren Einführungen) nicht auf bestimmte Themen oder Diskussionslinien der allgemeinen Wissenschaftstheorie beschränkt, sondern die Philosophien der Einzelwissenschaften separat in den Blick nimmt. Insbesondere in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten sind die Philosophien der Einzelwissenschaften unter dem Dach der Wissenschaftsphilosophie zunehmend zusammengewachsen als gleichberechtigte, analog strukturierte und oft aufeinander bezogene Arbeitsfelder, die eigenständig, aber in wechselseitigem Bezug auf die allgemeine Wissenschaftsphilosophie diskutiert werden. Eine Folge dieser Entwic...
