Disadvantaged Teens and Computer Technologies
This book examines two opposite ways in wich information technologies affect disadvantaged youth. On the one side, some contributors are concerned that the information revolution is worsening social exclusion. On the other side, some scholars argue that information technologies provide a powerful tool for reducing the social exclusion and educational disadvantages experienced by some young people.
The Handbook of Technology and Second Language Teaching and Learning
The Handbook of Technology and Second Language Teaching and Learning presents a comprehensive exploration of the impact of technology on the field of second language learning. The rapidly evolving language-technology interface has propelled dramatic changes in, and increased opportunities for, second language teaching and learning. Its influence has been felt no less keenly in the approaches and methods of assessing learners' language and researching language teaching and learning. Contributions from a team of international scholars make up the Handbook consisting of four parts: language teaching and learning through technology; the technology-pedagogy interface; technology for L2 assessment...
How Computers Entered the Classroom, 1960–2000
In the history of education, the question of how computers were introduced into European classrooms has so far been largely neglected. This edited volume strives to address this gap. The contributions shed light on the computerization of education from a historical perspective, by attending closely to the different actors involved – such as politicians, computer manufacturers, teachers, and students –, political rationales and ideologies, as well as financial, political, or organizational structures and relations. The case studies highlight differences in political and economic power, as well as in ideological reasoning and the priorities set by different stakeholders in the process of introducing computers into education. However, the contributions also demonstrate that simple cold war narratives fail to capture the complex dynamics and entanglements in the history of computers as an educational technology and a subject taught in schools. The edited volume thus provides a comprehensive historical understanding of the role of education in an emerging digital society.
Medienaneignung von Jugendlichen aus deutschen und türkischen Familien
Im Zusammenhang mit dem Wandel zur Informationsgesellschaft erfährt die Auseinandersetzung Jugendlicher mit neuen Medien eine verstärkte erziehungs- wie sozialwissenschaftlicher Aufmerksamkeit. Im Rahmen empirischer Untersuchungen bilden Studien zu jugendlichem Medienumgang aus einer soziokulturell differenzierten Perspektive bislang die Ausnahme – vor allem wurden Jugendliche mit Migrationshintergrund bisher zu wenig berücksichtigt. Hier setzt die vorliegende Studie an und untersucht, wie Jugendliche unterschiedlicher Herkunft ihren Medienumgang handlungspraktisch gestalten und thematisieren. In einer qualitativ-rekonstruktiven Vorgehensweise auf der Grundlage offener Interviews mit Ju...
Curriculum, Plans, and Processes in Instructional Design
This title presents perspectives on the relationship between curriculum research and instructional design, as well as new developments in the use of information and communication technology.
Instructional Design for Learning
This textbook on Instructional Design for Learning is a must for all education and teaching students and specialists. It provides a comprehensive overview about the theoretical foundations of the various models of Instructional Design and Technology from its very beginning to the most recent approaches. It elaborates Instructional Design (ID) as a science of educational planning. The book expands on this general understanding of ID and presents an up-to-date perspective on the theories and models for the creation of detailed and precise blueprints for effective instruction. It integrates different theoretical aspects and practical approaches, such as conceptual ID models, technology-based ID...
Connecting Histories of Education
The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.

Neuro-Immuno-Gastroenterology
This book addresses important issues regarding the interaction between the nervous system, the immune system, and the digestive system. Gut flora has a profound influence on the shaping of the immune response, not only in the gastrointestinal system but also in the nervous system. Fascinatingly, manipulation of intestinal immune responses can be used to modulate neurological disease. Conversely, the nervous system and the psyche have significant effects on the functioning of the gut and liver. After introductory chapters on the neurology, the immunology and microbiology of the gut, the effects of the gut immune system and gut flora and its manipulation on neurological disease are discussed, followed by molecular mimicry and immune tolerance in neuroimmune diseases. Additionally, several chapters deal with gastrointestinal manifestations of neurological diseases. Neuro-Immuno-Gastroenterology is aimed at neurologists, gastroenterologists, and immunologists.
