Critical Issues in Early Childhood Teacher Education
In recent years there have been significant changes in education across the globe, largely as a result of changing demographics, technological developments, and increased globalization.

The Cynics In Power
""The Cynics In Power"" explores how political cynicism has evolved from a peripheral philosophy into a calculated governing strategy that actively shapes modern democratic systems.

Monimuotoinen mediakasvatus
Miten ymmärrämme maailmaa ja miten jaamme tätä ymmärrystämme? Miten jäsennämme tietoa, tunteita, kokemuksia, osaamistamme? Millaisia sosiaalisia ja kognitiivisia prosesseja ja taitoja tarvitsemme, jotta voimme kehittyä, kasvaa ja selviytyä elämässä? Nämä ovat kysymyksiä, joita käsittelemme jokapäiväisessä mediakulttuurissamme. Medioituneessa arjessamme myös teknologia on kaikkiallistunut, ja kulttuurimme teknologinen ja sisällöllinen konvergenssi ja turbulenssi on jatkuvaa ja jopa kiihtyvää. Yhtenä välineenä vastauksien löytämiseen voi toimia medialukutaito, jota pyritään edistämään mediakasvatuksen avulla. Mediakasvatus yhdistyy laajemmin kasvatuksen perim...
