Despite the wide range they come from, many of the papers in this book emphasize the radical changes concerning flexible practices and policies spreading worldwide and point to neo-liberal globalization, emerged as a solution to the crisis of capitalism in the 1970s, as one of the most important sources of these processes. We think that it is possible to display the dynamics of this transformation concerning flexibility and to develop alternative policies and practices across the world, as the papers in this collection attempt to do. So, we hope that, this would provide significant contribution to solving the problems caused by flexible practices and policies.

Ülkemizde ve dünyada eğitim sistemlerinin en önemli bileşenlerinden olan öğretmenler çocukların hayata dair anlam dünyalarının şekillenmesi ve gerçek yaşama uyum sağlama sürecinde aileden sonra en önemli kişilerdir. Nitekim sosyal bir varlık olan bireylere öğretmenler bilimsel bilginin yanında gündelik hayatlarını sürdürebilecekleri kültürel bilginin öğretimini de sağlamaktadır. Öğretmenlerin eğitim sisteminin temel taşlarından biri olması onların sahip olması gereken pedagojik niteliklerini de önemli kılmıştır.

A Language of Freedom and Teacher’s Authority: Case Comparisons from Turkey and the United States explores dimensions of authority that are deeply embedded in the profession of teaching. It examines critical dimensions of the foundations of Turkish and U.S. public education, both of which are under new pressures due to changes in the relationship between public schooling and current reforms in education. The contributors reflect on varied dimensions of authority, of which ideals are shifting under political and economic pressures. In both Turkey and the U.S, public education reflects the early influence of secular equalitarianism, revolutionary democratic developments, and an Enlightenment-based sense of the human right to education. Against this, we see the opposing dialectic where state control and curricular censorship and constriction appear too often.
As the outcome of the 7th International Congress, the papers in this Volume cover a wide range of topics related to the main theme of the conference, titled “Current Debates in Social Sciences”, and basically focus on labor economics and industrial relations. In this context, the articles in the book draw attention to the different aspects of labor markets such as migration, agricultural workers, child workers, cooperatives, seafarers, poverty, social assistance, social dialogue, emotional labor, labor and discipline, pensions, and ethical leadership. Both theoretical and empirical papers deal with the issues regarding labor market of Turkey. We believe that these papers will contribute to the development of debates in labor economics and industrial relations and encourage interdisciplinary approaches.

The Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies provides a comprehensive introduction to the academic field of curriculum studies for the scholar, student, teacher, and administrator.

The field subsequently expanded to draw upon disciplines from the arts, humanities, and social sciences and to examine larger educational forces and their effects upon the individual, society, and conceptions of knowledge. Curriculum studies has now emerged to embrace an expansive and contested conception of academic scholarship w...
Indian call centre employees work through the night, sleep during the day, and listen to foreign voices in accented tongues over transnational telephone connections. Through a description of the nightly and daily lives of call centre workers in the university town of Pune, India, 1–800–Worlds engages with the complex negotiations that underlie the ostensible success of new service economies. As the author shows, the call centre industry is neither insular nor singular but offers a set of symptoms that can help read changing forms of urban Indian middle-classness.
