Se podemos afirmar que as Políticas Públicas Educacionais espelham um conjunto de intenções e arenas sobre diversos aspectos da Educação, e considero que não só podemos como devemos, a presente coletânea reúne um conjunto de analistas se encarregaram de indagar e contrastar, com um suporte documental e legal consistente, explicitando com clareza um vínculo quase sempre negado porém imprescindível entre o processo da política e o processo legislativo. Assim, encontramos nessa coletânea um muito bem desenhado vínculo do analista de política, quando se entende de modo implícito e de modo explícito, a noção de que a política pública e também a política educacional é o Estado em ação. Esta ideia emerge a todo o momento de modo recorrente explicitando os vínculos que há entre Estado e Sociedade fundamentalmente quando o conceito de governo atravessa estas inter-relações. Se não houvesse outras, essas razões já seriam demasiado suficientes para nos debruçarmos com atenção a todos os capítulos que compõem a presente obra coletiva.
O presente livro é resultado dos esforços dos integrantes do Coletivo de Pesquisadores em Política Educacional (COPPE), grupo de pesquisa vinculado ao Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho (Unesp), campus Marília. O COPPE foi fundado em 2012 e completou 11 anos de criação contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de estudos e pesquisas sobre as políticas educacionais, sejam as originadas no poder público ou na sociedade civil. Nos últimos 6 anos, o Coletivo incorporou o referencial teórico-metodológico da Educação Comparada e Internacional para ampliar a capacidade de compreender as políticas educacionais. O livro está organizado em três partes. A primeira parte dedicada à Educação Comparada, a segunda com foco na Política Educacional e a terceira voltada para a Educação Profissional, perfazendo dez capítulos ao todo. Desejamos que este livro contribua para a reflexão sobre a realidade educacional e fortaleça a produção do conhecimento encetada pelo COPPE no âmbito da pós-graduação em educação, a qual necessita ser disseminada e circular junto ao público interessado no tema.
This book reviews the current state of health research and concludes that: more investment is needed, research need to be managed more effectively to help strengthen health systems and build public confidence in science; stronger emphasis should be placed on translating knowledge into action. There are five sections: learning to improve health, gives an overview and some historical perspective; towards a scientific basis for health systems; strengthening health research systems; linking research to action; and recommendations and an action plan.
This book delves into the changes in technology regarding higher education and seeks to define what it means to be a scholar in the digital age.
The SAGE Handbook of Comparative Studies in Education explores international educational practices and behaviours through new research and review of existing research.
Distance education is practised in all parts of the world and in recent years, its scope has developed enormously and rapidly. It has become an intrinsic part of many national educational systems and an academic discipline in its own right. Research into the area has produced a body of theory which is now being used to improve its practice. This new edition of Theory and Practice of Distance Education has been thoroughly updated both by describing how practice has changed, and by examining recent research in the field. Like the first edition, this book provides a comprehensive survey of distance education, looking at it globally and discussing the different lines of thought and models used. It describes the place of distance education in educational thinking, its various theories, principles, and techniques of presentation, its organization and its administration.
Electronic communication is radically altering literacy practices. Silicon Literacies unravels the key features of the new communication order to explore the social, cultural and educational impact of silicon literacy practices. Written by leading international scholars from a range of disciplines, the essays in this collection examine the implications of text produced on a keyboard, visible on a screen and transmitted through a global network of computers. The book covers topics as diverse as role-playing in computer games, the use of graphic symbols in on-screen texts and Internet degree programmes to reveal that being literate is to do with understanding how different modalities combine to create meaning. Recognizing that reading and writing are only part of what people have to learn to be literate, the contributors enhance our understanding of the ways in which the use of new technologies influence, shape and sometimes transform literacy practices.
In this lively and approachable volume based on his popular blog series, Martin Weller demonstrates a rich history of innovation and effective implementation of ed tech across higher education. From Bulletin Board Systems to blockchain, Weller follows the trajectory of education by focusing each chapter on a technology, theory, or concept that has influenced each year since 1994. Calling for both caution and enthusiasm, Weller advocates for a critical and research-based approach to new technologies, particularly in light of disinformation, the impact of social media on politics, and data surveillance trends. A concise and necessary retrospective, this book will be valuable to educators, ed tech practitioners, and higher education administrators, as well as students.
This volume aims to expand knowledge about the history of comparative education. It explores new scholarship on key actors and ways of knowing in the field. It aims to raise awareness on the positionality of historical narratives about this field of inquiry and offers a re-think of its histories. Since comparative education has always been embedded within a global field of power, what would the changing world order’s implications be for the institutional and intellectual histories of the field? This book offers diverse perspectives for re-theorising the histories of comparative education. It suggests casting a far-sighted and panoramic look at the field’s origins. The volume concludes with a puzzle for future work on a global history of comparative education. This book was originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education.
