The New Politics of the Textbook

The New Politics of the Textbook

In an era when corporate and political leaders are using their power to control every aspect of the schooling process in North America, there has been surprisingly little research on the impact of textbook content on students. The contributors of this volume and its partner (The New Politics of the Textbook: Problematizing the Portrayal of Marginalized Groups in Textbooks) guide educators, school administrators, academics, and other concerned citizens to unpack the political, social, and cultural influences inherent in the textbooks of core content areas such as math, science, English, and social science. They urge readers to reconsider the role textbooks play in the creation of students’ political, social, and moral development and in perpetuating asymmetrical social and economic relationships, where social actors are bestowed unearned privileges and entitlements based upon their race, gender, sexuality, class, religion and linguistic background. Finally, they suggest ways to resist the hegemony of those texts through critical analyses, critical questioning, and critical pedagogies.

Education Nouvelle Et Sciences de L'éducation

This book is about the tumultuous and even passionate relationship between New Education and Educational Sciences, which are regarded as an inseparable «couple», intrinsically linked and surprisingly fruitful. Yet they remain irreconcilable and are mutually contradictory in a number of their elements and characteristics. Do Educational Sciences offer a scientific base or ideological support for New Education? Do the numerous new educational initiatives and reforms provide a «laboratory» for Educational Sciences or alternatives to the new scientific paradigms? Is this at the risk of their merging? And what is the price of these tensions? Specialists in the history of Educational Sciences ...

The Engaged University

The Engaged University is a comprehensive empirical account of the global civic engagement movement in higher education. In universities around the world, something extraordinary is underway. Mobilizing their human and intellectual resources, institutions of higher education are directly tackling community problems – combating poverty, improving public health, and restoring environmental quality. This book documents and analyzes this exciting trend through studies of civic engagement and social responsibility at twenty institutions worldwide. This timely volume offers three special contributions to the literature on higher education policy and practice: a historical overview of the founding purposes of universities, which almost invariably included a context-specific element of social purpose, together with a survey of how these "founding" intentions have fared in different systems of higher education; a contemporary account of the policy and practice of universities – all over the world – seeking to re-engage with this social purpose; and an overview of generic issues which emerge for the "engaged university."

Research in University Pedagogy

This book offers an overview of the research carried out in didactics on the teaching and learning of science at university from the perspective of university pedagogy. The first part sheds light on the links between university pedagogy and didactics, by studying the nature and place of disciplinary pedagogical knowledge at university and the training of academics through the prism of professionalization. The second part questions the teaching practices of academics from a disciplinary approach, from the point of view of the impact of the research discipline on the declared practices, or that of the links between the resources mobilized in research and teaching activities. The third part proposes a sociological look at these practices, in terms of the analysis of the discourses of institutional actors or of practices in situ. The book concludes with a synthesis that develops the main issues, challenges and difficulties that remain at the end of this book.

Paesaggi fatti a mano

L'autrice ci mette davanti ad un cambiamento del comportamento nel rapporto dell'umanità nei confronti delle problematiche della pianificazione. […] Certo gli umani sono capaci di fare un paesaggio a mano, potrebbe addirittura essere una delle più belle maniere di agire sul territorio. (dalla presentazione di Gilles Clément) Fausta Occhipinti con “Paesaggi fatti a mano” ci propone un tema ambizioso, una sistematica revisione dei metodi e degli strumenti dello studio del paesaggio nell’università italiana, partendo dall’intuizione che sia necessario introdurre una sperimentazione applicata in costante confronto con i corsi teorici, e questo nel momento più recessivo della nostr...

Affective Education in Europe

Affective Education in Europe

Affective education can be defined as that part of the educational process which concerns itself with the attitudes, feelings, beliefs and emotions of students. Central to the concept is the acknowledgement that student's feelings about themselves as learners and about their academic subjects can be at least as influential as their actual ability. This collection features the work of contributors from countries such as Belgium, Denmark, Russia, Germany, Israel, Spain and the UK. It shows how the practical approach to affective education varies from nation to nation. By analyzing the underlying theory, this text sets out to bring the different approaches closer together, to enable teachers across the continent to work towards a positive common ground.

L'analyse structurale des réseaux sociaux

L’analyse structurale, dans les sciences humaines, est une approche interdisciplinaire qui se fonde sur le postulat que les acteurs sociaux se caractérisent par leurs relations plutôt que par leurs attributs (le sexe, l’âge, la classe sociale, etc.). Ces relations ont une plus ou moins grande densité, la distance qui sépare deux acteurs est plus ou moins grande, et certains acteurs occupent des positions plus centrales que d’autres. Des théories permettent d’expliquer ces phénomènes, dont celle des liens forts et des liens faibles, et celle sur les trous structuraux où se trouvent les acteurs qui ne peuvent communiquer entre eux que par l’intermédiaire d’un tiers. Aprè...

  • Publisher: Springer

This open access wide-ranging collation of papers examines a host of issues in studying second-generation immigrants, their life courses, and their relations with older generations. Tightly focused on methodological aspects, both quantitative and qualitative, the volume features the work of authors from numerous countries, from differing disciplines, and approaches. A key addition in a corpus of literature which has until now been restricted to studying the childhood, adolescence and youth of the children of immigrants, the material includes analysis of longitudinal and transnational efforts to address challenges such as defining the population to be studied, and the difficulties of follow-u...
