Muchos son los recursos, medios y sistemas que debemos emplear para mejorar la educación, pero entre ellos, y éste es el argumento central del presente libro, el más importante es sin duda cambiar las mentes de quienes enseñan y de quienes aprenden. Necesitamos nuevas concepciones, nuevas formas de vivir el aprendizaje y la enseñanza tanto por parte de profesores como de alumnos, porque sólo así podremos lograr que en nuestras aulas la enseñanza conduzca al aprendizaje. Diversas voces se aúnan en una misma propuesta teórica, al tiempo renovadora y sencilla, según la cual la única forma de cambiar la educación es cambiar a las personas que la hacen posible. Nada cambiará si eso no cambia.

An examination of the links between radicalism in Victorian England, and the Risorgimento movement in Italy. This book provides powerful new insights into the history of Italy's long Risorgimento, by tracing the entanglements of the Mazzinian "international". This informal group of men and women crossed the boundary of the Channel and the boundary of class to speak a common language and share a radical ideal: Giuseppe Mazzini's vision of a unified, republican Italy. Published in the radical press, the exile's writings on democracy, education, association and citizenship inspired both Oxford social reformers and self-improving artisans gathering in provincial reading rooms, co-operative socie...

Behavioral scientists – including those in psychology, infant and child development, education, animal behavior, marketing and usability studies – use many methods to measure behavior. Systematic observation is used to study relatively natural, spontaneous behavior as it unfolds sequentially in time. This book emphasizes digital means to record and code such behavior; while observational methods do not require them, they work better with them. Key topics include devising coding schemes, training observers and assessing reliability, as well as recording, representing and analyzing observational data. In clear and straightforward language, this book provides a thorough grounding in observational methods along with considerable practical advice. It describes standard conventions for sequential data and details how to perform sequential analysis with a computer program developed by the authors. The book is rich with examples of coding schemes and different approaches to sequential analysis, including both statistical and graphical means.
A selection of articles discuss the complex issue of standards and their impact on teacher preparation programs. Best practices and case studies are provided.
The emotional aspects of language have so far not received the attention they deserve. This study focuses on nonpropositional, i.e. expressive and interactional meanings of Japanese signs, with special emphasis on understanding their cognitive, psychological and social meanings. It shows how the Japanese language is richly endowed to express personal voice and emotive nuances, and confronts the theoretical issues related to this. The author proposes a new theoretical framework for Discourse Modality, a primary concern for Japanese speakers, to analyze the 'expressiveness' of language.
