Routes to Reform
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. The key to sustained and equitable development in Latin America is high quality education for all. However, coalitions favoring quality reforms in education are usually weak because parents are dispersed, business is not interested, and much of the middle class has exited public education. In Routes to Reform, Ben Ross Schneider examines education policy throughout Latin America to show that reforms to improve learning--especially making teacher careers more meritoc...
Los jóvenes tienen voz
Más que un libro, esta recopilación de textos teóricos es un ejercicio de reflexión alrededor del concepto de juventud a nivel social, cultural y político en Latinoamérica. La lectura de este libro propone un diálogo intergenersacional entre académicos especializados y otros investigadores jóvenes en formación que navegan a través de la crítica, el pensamiento historicista, el análisis sociológico, la literatura y la crónica. Se busca analizar este concepto desde distintas variantes, poniendo el foco en nuestro territorio y en las universidades. Catorces textos inéditos se intercalan con seis entrevistas a jóvenes innovadores latinoamericanos. Una pieza en construcción de nuestra historia que busca explorar las voces jóvenes, con sentido ciudadano, en esta conversación que también les pertenece.
Un doctorado para barrer el salón
Este libro busca dar a comprender cómo se han configurado las trayectorias profesionales y las expectativas de futuro de los docentes públicos después de la aprobación del Nuevo Estatuto de Profesionalización Docente colombiano. Así, identifica las características sociohistóricas fundamentales de la transformación de su mundo laboral bajo la noción de profesionalización docente, para abordar los procesos de individuación mediante un estudio articulado de “pruebas sociales” y “soportes”. De este modo, mediante el concepto anclaje socioexistencial, a partir de las narrativas de cuatro docentes, el libro analiza las expectativas de futuro que los profesores diseñan como respuesta a los desafíos estructurales.
¿Qué hay detrás de las buenas notas?
Esta obra explora el éxito en la escuela desde la singularidad de cuatro estudiantes que asisten a un colegio público de Bogotá. El texto se construye metodológica y teóricamente desde la sociología, concretamente la sociología del individuo; por ello, las reflexiones más importantes emergen de la exploración y análisis de las opiniones, emociones, sentimientos, maneras de ser y de pensar de los mismos estudiantes y sus familiares; sus condiciones de vida materiales, culturales y afectivas; así como sus dinámicas cotidianas y sus trayectorias de vida. Este libro explora los factores y condiciones que influyen en su ajuste satisfactorio al mundo de la escuela, pues se trata, a la luz de sus calificaciones, de los mejores cuatro estudiantes de un curso. Su contenido abarca un análisis sociodemográfico del curso que integran los estudiantes (un grado séptimo), una discusión del éxito escolar, un perfil de los cuatro protagonistas y una discusión en torno a los principales factores que influencian su buen rendimiento en sentido singular y unas reflexiones finales.
The Quest for Responsibility
The search for responsibility in complex organisations often seems an impossible undertaking. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach combining law, social science, ethics and organisational design, Mark Bovens analyses the reasons for this, and offers possible solutions. He begins by examining the problem of 'many hands' - because so many people contribute in so many different ways, it is very difficult to determine who is accountable for organisational behaviour. Four possible solutions - corporate, hierarchical, collective and individual accountability - are analysed from normative, empirical and practical perspectives. Bovens argues that individual accountability is the most promising solution, but only if individuals have the chance to behave responsibly. The book then explores the implications of this approach. What does it mean to be a 'responsible' employee or official? When is it legitimate to disobey the orders of superiors? What institutional designs might be most appropriate?
Cardiovascular Surgery
This clinical casebook is comprised of surgical cases involving the most important cardiovascular diseases in a concise, easy-to-read format (5x8 in trim size, like other titles in this burgeoning, informal product line in the Springer clinical medicine program). Each chapter is a case that opens with a unique clinical presentation, followed by a description of the diagnosis, assessment and management techniques used to treat it, as well as questions and answers (between 8 and 10) about relevant aspects related to the diagnosis and treatment of the addressed disease. The Q&A section will broaden discussion and increase the title's pedagogical value. The casebook features 40 surgical cases in...
Vocationalisation of Secondary Education Revisited
The book is a cutting-edge contribution to the debate which has occurred for some time on the pros and cons of secondary education becoming more closely and explicitly related to preparing young people for the world of work. The book provides concrete examples of the vocationalisation of secondary education, with particular reference to the situation in Africa. The target audience for the book includes policy-makers, practitioners, administrators, education planners, researchers, teachers and teacher educators with a concern about the relationship between secondary education and education for the world of work (with particular reference to technical and vocational education and training - TVET.) The book appears in the Springer book series on ‘Technical and Vocational Education and Training: Issues, Concerns and Prospects’ and compliments the ‘International Handbook of Technical and Vocational Education and Training’ and other publications in the’ International Library of TVET’ all of which are publications of the ‘UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for TVET’ in Bonn, Germany

The Role and Impact of Public-private Partnerships in Education
The book offers an overview of international examples, studies, and guidelines on how to create successful partnerships in education. PPPs can facilitate service delivery and lead to additional financing for the education sector as well as expanding equitable access and improving learning outcomes.
Emerging Evidence on Vouchers and Faith-based Providers in Education
While public-private partnerships in education in the United States have received a lot of attention, research on such partnerships elsewhere has been limited--even though such partnerships have been steadily gaining prominence, particularly in developing countries. Aiming to fill this gap, this book presents fresh, technically sound empirical evidence on the effectiveness and cost of various public-private education partnerships from around the world, including voucher programs and faith-based schools. The evidence on the impact in terms of school performance, targeting, and cost of public-priv.
