En la cumbre que celebró el Consejo de Europa en Lisboa en el año 2000 se acordó que todas las políticas públicas de la Unión Europea debían guiarse tomando como criterio la consecución de la cohesión social (CS) europea. Se pretendía que, en el año 2010, esa meta se hubiera logrado. Aunque no ha sido así, aún están vigentes los principios y objetivos allí señalados. Posteriormente, la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe también planteó su utilidad como criterio que orientara el desarrollo regional. En ese marco, en Laeken (Bélgica) se elaboró, en el año 2001, un portafolios de evaluación de los avances de los países europeos en CS, y en 2005, el Cons...
El modelo UNIVECS tiene como criterio de calidad de referencia el concepto de cohesión social planteado como guía de todas las políticas públicas por el Consejo de Europa y adaptado por la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe. Una sociedad que actúa con cohesión social es aquella que pretende el bienestar de todas las personas, dentro de un marco de desarrollo democrático, con una atenta participación ciudadana y previniendo la exclusión a lo largo de la vida. Sobre esta base, se trata de valorar si en el desarrollo docente-investigador de las titulaciones universitarias se trabaja desde una perspectiva de cohesión social y con la finalidad de que quienes las concl...
Over the last three decades, a significant amount of research has sought to relate educational institutions, policies, practices and reforms to social structures and agencies. A number of models have been developed that have become the basis for attempting to understand the complex relation between education and society. At the same time, national and international bodies tasked with improving educational performances seem to be writing in a void, in that there is no rigorous theory guiding their work, and their documents exhibit few references to groups, institutions and forces that can impede or promote their programmes and projects. As a result, the recommendations these bodies provide to...
Using cooperative and partner learning models, this newly revised book illustrates how professionals can enhance their powers of creativity to facilitate learning and respond to academic and behavioral challenges, preK-12.
This volume investigates the neglected topic of mental action, and shows its importance for the metaphysics, epistemology, and phenomenology of mind. Twelve specially written essays address such questions as the following: Which phenomena should we count as mental actions — imagining, remembering, judging, for instance? How should we explain our knowledge of our mental actions, and what light does that throw on self-knowledge in general? What contributions do mental actions make to our consciousness? What is the relationship between the voluntary and the active, in the mental sphere? What are the similarities and differences between mental and physical action, and what can we learn about each from the other?
This book examines acknowledged practices and demonstrates to teachers how to make the most out of their assessment practices. It also explores different assessment methods for skills such as reading, writing, listening and speaking. Forecasting the future of assessment and where concepts like alternative assessment and dynamic assessment are heading, it also shows how relatively new teaching methods such as communicative methodologies and problem-based learning are reflected in assessment. This book represents a forum where contributors have presented their research and innovative ideas and practices on the important topic of assessment and opened a fresh debate on it. It offers an excellent reference guide for EFL teachers, practitioners, researchers and testing and assessment specialists. Each chapter examines central issues in assessment and their connection with teaching and learning in EFL contexts.
This book brings together internationally recognised scholars with an interest in how to use the power of assessment to improve student learning and to engage with accountability priorities at both national and global levels. It includes distinguished writers who have worked together for some two decades to shift the assessment paradigm from a dominant focus on assessment as measurement towards assessment as central to efforts to improve learning. These writers have worked with the teaching profession and, in so doing, have researched and generated key insights into different ways of understanding assessment and its relationship to learning. The volume contributes to the theorising of assess...
