Education Around the World
A concise comparative introduction to education in each major geographical region of the world and the major issues in international education today.
Changing Teacher Professionalism
Significant changes in the policy and social context of teaching over the last 30 years have had substantial implications for teacher professionalism. As the influence of central regulation and marketisation has increased, so the scope for professional influence on policy and practice has in many cases diminished. Instead, teachers have had to respond to a range of other demands stemming from broader social changes, including greater public scepticism towards professional authority combined with demands for public services that are more responsive to diverse cultural and social identities. This collection of work by leading international scholars in the field makes a unique contribution to u...
Naturwissenschaft in der Allgemeinen Weiterbildung
Das Angebot der Weiterbildungseinrichtungen zu den Naturwissenschaften entspricht nicht deren Bedeutung für das menschliche Verständnis der Welt. Es hält nicht Schritt mit dem Wandel in den Wissenschaften selbst. Um dieses Angebot zu verbessern, führten die TU Darmstadt und das hvv-Institut an hessischen Volkshochschulen das Projekt "Naturwissenschaft in der Allgemeinen Weiterbildung" durch. Dabei entwickelten sie das hier vorgestellte Verständnis von Aufgaben und Zielen der Wissenschaftsvermittlung und die didaktischen Modelle für die Erwachsenenbildung.

This book explores the complex and various forms that privatization of education takes on a global scale at different ages of schooling. Through the spread of neoliberal policies in education both in the global North and the global South, the book suggests that this process is leading to new forms of schooling and socio-spatial dynamics linked to the creation of increasingly competitive school markets. The book highlights some of the main issues that such competition generates by focusing on the acceleration of the segregative processes on one hand but also on the alternatives that are emerging regarding this global context on the other hand. It considers processes of domination, hegemony, b...
Education and Masculinities
Across media, academy and popular culture in western societies there is much talk of an implosion of the modern gender order. Education is often presented as a key site in which a crisis of masculinity is played out, and schools have become a focus for practical attempts to reconcile social and cultural transformations through the recalibration of teaching and learning, increasing male teachers and masculinising the content of subjects. Education and Masculinities argues that we are experiencing a shift from the establishment of the social constitution of gender associated with modernity politics, to the gendering of society that has an intensified resonance among men and women in a global-b...
