Este libro presenta la visión de miembros del Grupo de Innovación Docente Equidad e Inclusión Educativa (EIE-GID), de la Universidad de Murcia, sobre la enseñanza en las etapas de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria. Se desarrolla aquí el posicionamiento que los autores han configurado sobre aspectos didácticos básicos, que necesariamente forman parte de la enseñanza en estas etapas: qué significa ser maestro, principios educativos y componentes curriculares. Entendemos que cualquier propuesta que se establezca cobra significado en los contextos en los que se desarrolla, pero basándose en principios y fundamentos claros; por ello, para cada uno de los tópicos mencionados se ...
Meeting a crucial need, this book provides clear recommendations for authentic developmental assessment of children from infancy to age 6, including those with developmental delays and disabilities. It describes principles and strategies for collecting information about children's everyday activities in the home, preschool, and community, which provides a valid basis for intervention planning and progress monitoring. Throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of enlisting parents as partners with practitioners and teachers in observation and team-based decision making. Special features of this well-organized, accessible volume include recommendations for developmentally appropriate assessment tools and "Best-Practice Guidepoints" in each chapter that distill key professional standards and practices.
The historical data and vast information in the historical sources is arranged in this book using software to make clusters of data and quantification. This serves as illustrative example for future research on how to apply such methods to historical research. The analysis of formation of new elites and powerful families, and the social networks they belonged to, serves to understand in the long run how groups and families in localities of southern Europe have consolidated their power and how political institutions (then and now) have served to the perpetuation of such families in the exercise of power. Disputes and rivalry between factions, elites and groups of power to control land (as main economic source of power) and political institutions have not ceased since the early modern period until today. Southern and Mediterranean Europe localities are a good example in which fierce struggles between elite groups have lasted across space and time.

This book reveals how school memories offer not only a tool for accessing the school of the past, but also a key to understanding what people today know (or think they know) about the school of the past. It describes, in fact, how historians’ work does not purely and simply consist in exploring school as it really was, but also in the complex process of defining the memory of school as one developed and revisited over time at both the individual and collective level. Further, it investigates the extent to which what people “know” reflects the reality or is in fact a product of stereotypes that are deeply rooted in common perceptions and thus exceedingly difficult to do away with. The book includes fifteen peer-reviewed contributions that were presented and discussed during the International Symposium “School Memories. New Trends in Historical Research into Education: Heuristic Perspectives and Methodological Issues” (Seville, 22-23 September, 2015).
Sound in Motion: Cinema, Videogames, Technology and Audiences is a collective volume that sheds more light on the intimate relationship between music and audiovisual culture in contemporary society. This book brings together researchers from different parts of the world, from the USA to Brazil, through Spain, Georgia, France and Austria, to understand, from different perspectives, a global phenomenon. It includes indispensable studies on music and cinema (revisited from a multicultural perspective), as well as original research on music in videogames and television, and the study of the real impact of technological development on musical and artistic production. It also gathers chapters which explore the relationship between all these processes with the configuration of new audiences of which (maybe without knowing) we are already a part.
