Just what is a picture worth? Qualitative research is dominated by language. However, researchers have recently shown a growing interest in adopting an image-based approach. This is the first volume dedicated to exploring this approach and will prove an invaluable sourcebook for researchers in the field. The book covers a broad scope, including theory and the research process; and provides practical examples of how image-based research is applied in the field. It discusses use of images in child abuse investigation; exploring children's drawings in health education; cartoons; the media and teachers.
The Council of Europe's work on history teaching in secondary schools has three main thrusts: curriculum development, textbooks and teaching materials, and teacher training, which should take into account societal developments and the cultural needs of coming generations. This pilot study is the first comparative study on the structures of initial training for history teachers to be carried out in several European countries. Its aim is to provide information that will raise the level of professionalism not only of history teaching, but also of teacher training.--Publisher's description.
The time has come to challenge many of the age-old assumptions about schools and school learning. In this timely book leading thinkers from around the world offer a different vision of what schools are for. They suggest new ways of thinking about citizenship, lifelong learning and the role of schools in democratic societies. They question many of the tenets of school effectiveness studies which have been so influential in shaping policy, but are essentially backward looking and premised on school structures as we have known them. Each chapter confronts some of the myths of schooling we have cherished for too long and asks us to think again and to do schools differently. Chapters include: * Democratic learning and school effectiveness * Learning democracy in an age of mangerial accountability * Democratic leadership for school improvement in challenging contexts. This book will be of particular interest to anyone involved in school improvement and effectiveness, including academics and researchers in this field of study. Headteachers and LEA advisers will also find this book a useful resource.

Fotogra?e ist das visuelle Leitmedium unserer Zeit, der kompetente Umgang mit Bildern stellt eine Schlüsselquali?kation in unserer Gesellschaft dar. Trotz der ausgeprägten Verbreitung und Bedeutung fotogra?scher Praxis ?ndet die pädagogische Arbeit mit Fotogra?e eher rudimentär statt; die Fotogra?e scheint innerhalb des medienpädagogischen Diskurses an den Rand gedrängt. Dies ist insofern unverständlich, weil die didaktischen Potenziale dieses Mediums noch lange nicht ausgeschöpft sind und angesichts der Entwicklungen (Digitalisierung, Multimedia) neu entdeckt werden könnten. Es gilt hierbei an erfolgreiche Arbeitsformen anzuknüpfen, die im schulischen Bereich – in der Bundesrepu...
