Educational Research Practice in Southern Contexts
Bringing together a unique collection of 18 insightful and innovative internationally focused articles, Educational Research Practice in Southern Contexts offers reflections, case studies, and critically, research methods and processes which decentre, reframe, and reimagine conventional educational research strategies and operationalise the tenets of decolonising theory. This anthology represents a valuable teaching resource. It provides readers with the chance to read high quality examples of research that critique current ways of doing research and to reflect on how research methods can contribute to the project of decolonising knowledge production in and about education in, for example, A...
Emergent Issues in Education
In Emergent Issues in Education, leading scholars in comparative education and in the politics, sociology, anthropology, and economics of education illuminate worldwide trends in critical issues that confront policymakers and practitioners in different national settings. Among the topics raised and analyzed are the organization, governance, and financing of education; the content of curriculum, texts, and tests; and the quality and nature of teacher training. Among the issues examined is the tension that has emerged between the imperative to achieve equality of educational opportunity and the concern of educational decision makers to maintain and upgrade the quality of academic offerings. Aspects of this tension are manifested in the reform movements of the 1980s, especially the "excellence movement" that has resurfaced in the United States. Reform movements are evident in countries that have experienced increased enrollment at all levels of schooling in the post-World War II period. In the United States, as elsewhere, there has been a reassessment of the relevance of education to the economy and polity, and of the role of government and industry in education.
Appearances Matter
The visual turn recovers new pasts. With education as its theme, this book seeks to present a body of reflections that questions a certain historicism and renovates historiographical debate about how to conceptualize and use images and artifacts in educational history, in the process presenting new themes and methods for researchers. Images are interrogated as part of regimes of the visible, of a history of visual technologies and visual practices. Considering the socio-material quality of the image, the analysis moves away from the use of images as mere illustrations of written arguments, and takes seriously the question of the life and death of artifacts – that is, their particular historicity. Questioning the visual and material evidence in this way means considering how, when, and in which régime of the visible it has come to be considered as a source, and what this means for the questions contemporary researchers might ask.

PSICOLOGÍA Y PEDAGOGÍA EN LA PRIMERA MITAD DEL SIGLO XX
La cuestión fundamental que se trata en este libro es la confluencia de varios discursos científicos que desde finales del siglo XIX empezaron a influir de forma muy determinante sobre la Pedagogía. Junto a los avances en la Psicología Experimental, el discurso medico e higienista y las nuevas ciencias humanas en general, permearan el campo de la Pedagogía, ampliando su perspectiva y poniendo de manifiesto no solo una gran riqueza teórica y práctica, sino también conflictos para definir el campo propio de la educación y los educadores. A partir de este planteamiento general, se estudian las consecuencias prácticas inmediatas de ese fundamental giro en la reflexión pedagógica. Por...
Academies and Schools of Art in Latin America
This edited volume’s chief aim is to bring together, in an English-language source, the principal histories and narratives of some of the most significant academies and national schools of art in South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean, from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries. The book highlights not only issues shared by Latin American academies of art but also those that differentiate them from their European counterparts. Authors examine issues including statutes, the influence of workshops and guilds, the importance of patronage, discourses of race and ethnicity in visual pedagogy, and European models versus the quest for national schools. It also offers first-time English translations of many foundational documents from several significant academies and schools. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, Latin American and Hispanic studies, and modern visual cultures.
POLÍTICA, LEGISLACIÓN Y EDUCACIÓN
En este libro se analiza, desde una óptica predominantemente política, el fenómeno moderno de la educación, estudiando tanto los problemas que preocupan hoy a los gobiernos como las diferentes ideologías que subyacen en las políticas educativas, prestando especial atención a la España de la restauración democrática. De este modo, se analizan aquí los actores colectivos, las reformas de los sistemas educativos, las políticas de libertad y de igualdad, el Estado de bienestar y la educación, así como las grandes leyes de la democracia española y las complejas relaciones del Estado autonómico con la educación en la España actual. Al final de la obra se incluye un glosario con conceptos y categorías propios del ámbito de la política, así como una amplia bibliografía.
