Reimagining Curriculum Studies - A Mosaic of Inclusion (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022): Donald S Blumenfeld-Jones Reimagining Curriculum Studies - A Mosaic of Inclusion (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Donald S Blumenfeld-Jones
R3,124 Discovery Miles 31 240 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This book addresses the crucial issue of how we value and deploy the idea of "freedom" that underlies contemporary curriculum studies. Whether we are conventional curriculum thinkers who value knowledge development or favor a Deweyan, individualist orientation toward curriculum or are a critical social justice curriculum thinker, at the heart of all these orientations and theorizing is the value of "freedom." The book addresses "freedom" through novel sources: the work of Martin Buber on education, Julia Kristeva on the uses of imagination and the female/male dialectic, Emmanuel Levinas' unique approach to ethics, and more. Readers will find new ways to understand freedom and the world of ethical life as informing curriculum thinking. It provides a more ecumenical vision that can draw our differences together. It helps readers to reconsider ourselves in fruitful ways that can bring more relevance and substance to the field.

Sustainable School Improvement - Fueling the Journey with Collective Efficacy and Systems Thinking (Hardcover): Patricia Wright Sustainable School Improvement - Fueling the Journey with Collective Efficacy and Systems Thinking (Hardcover)
Patricia Wright
R2,176 Discovery Miles 21 760 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The book addresses two key barriers to school improvement that are currently impacting educators and school leaders. The first is the churn of constant change in the form of multiple initiatives and compliance overload experienced by today's educators. It is not uncommon to hear a teacher say, "I can't focus on the kids; there are just too many things to do. I'm overwhelmed." Has change itself become a distraction? Has it forced educators to move not toward but away from their primary focus - student learning? The second barrier is a dependency on outdated assumptions, or roadblock thinking, that cause schools to act in ways contrary to sound educational practice. This book challenges educators to embrace forward thinking. Instead of depending on the next newest innovation or program or falling back to "the way we have always done it," the CAR provides a framework that allows educators and school leaders to equitably and coherently address student learning by engaging in the deep conversations that are vital to effective practice. The book offers a universal blueprint that coherently and strategically connects curriculum standards, student learning, professional learning, and school culture to achieve meaningful and sustainable change that directly impacts student outcomes.

Comparative and International Education - Leading Perspectives from the Field (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Beverly Lindsay Comparative and International Education - Leading Perspectives from the Field (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Beverly Lindsay
R3,987 Discovery Miles 39 870 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Featuring a foreword penned by Ambassador (Ret) and Professor Emeritus Horace G. Dawson, this volume articulates the significance of comparative and international education and affairs as experienced by elected Fellows of the Comparative and International Education Society-including some as Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the International Academy of Education. Based upon their decades of multiple research modalities and senior administrative engagements with universities, USAID, National Science Foundation, World Bank, Fulbright, and other agencies, the Fellows explicate critical historical phenomena and postulate how future directions of the field may evolve. The volume expounds the salience of cross cutting and interdisciplinary themes by analyzing how the social sciences, humanities, and international affairs have affected the evolving nature of the field. Pedagogical epistemologies, public and educational policies, and paradigms emerge from applied research as new motifs are presented in view of geopolitical and global affairs that will affect education in coming decades.

Unsettling Responsibility in Science Education - Indigenous Science, Deconstruction, and the Multicultural Science Education... Unsettling Responsibility in Science Education - Indigenous Science, Deconstruction, and the Multicultural Science Education Debate (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Marc Higgins
R1,440 Discovery Miles 14 400 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This open access book engages with the response-ability of science education to Indigenous ways-of-living-with-Nature. Higgins deconstructs the ways in which the structures of science education-its concepts, categories, policies, and practices-contribute to the exclusion (or problematic inclusion) of Indigenous science while also shaping its ability respond. Herein, he undertakes an unsettling homework to address the ways in which settler colonial logics linger and lurk within sedimented and stratified knowledge-practices, turning the gaze back onto science education. This homework critically inhabits culture, theory, ontology, and history as they relate to the multicultural science education debate, a central curricular location that acts as both a potential entry point and problematic gatekeeping device, in order to (re)open the space of responsiveness towards Indigenous ways-of-knowing-in-being.

Activist Citizenship Education - A Framework for Creating Justice Citizens (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Keith Heggart Activist Citizenship Education - A Framework for Creating Justice Citizens (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Keith Heggart
R3,352 Discovery Miles 33 520 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This book explores alternative models of civics and citizenship education. Specifically, it uses Justice Citizens, a participatory research and film-making project, as a tool to examine young people's ideas about active citizenship and participation in public spaces. It introduces a framework that seeks to explore the diverse and apparently contradictory nature of young people's active citizenship. The framework draws on complexity theory combined with critical pedagogy and democratic education to formulate an approach to developing active citizenship among young people. This approach extends theories of both critical pedagogy and education for citizenship, and by doing so seeks to explain the variegated nature of young people's engagement with civil society. This book contains a valuable repository of ideas and resources for application for teachers to use in schools and classrooms. Academics engaged in initial teacher education, at both primary and secondary levels, will find the framework of use when describing the importance and new approaches to civics and citizenship education within the current school and policy environments.

April Sanders, Laura Isbell, Kathryn Dixon
R5,098 Discovery Miles 50 980 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Educators in the K-12 school environment work diligently to help at-risk students find success in the classroom. One particular group of at-risk students is the LGBTQ+ population. K-12 students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer often fear the repercussions of disclosing this information in the classroom environment. Homophobia from fellow students, faculty, and/or administrators can be in the form of bullying, lack of acknowledgement of identity, absence in curriculum, etc. There is a strong need for this group of students to be included in the landscape of curriculum design and policymaking. Incorporating LGBTQ+ Identities in K-12 Curriculum and Policy is a critical research publication that provides comprehensive research on inclusive curriculum design and education policy that specifically impacts LGBTQ+ students. Featuring an array of topics such as gender diversity, mental health services, and preservice teachers, this book is essential for teachers, counsellors, school psychologists, therapists, curriculum developers, instructional designers, principals, school boards, academicians, researchers, administrators, policymakers, and students.

Beyond Science Standards - Play, Art, Coherence, Community (Hardcover): Charles R Ault Beyond Science Standards - Play, Art, Coherence, Community (Hardcover)
Charles R Ault
R2,420 Discovery Miles 24 200 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Beyond Science Standards capture a vision of science education both whimsical and serious. Ranging across examples from elementary to university level classrooms and grounded in philosophy and history, the stories address dimensions beyond the realm of bureaucratic standards. Its thesis brings into question the premise of scientific unity and its representation in school as notions of method, process, nature, and practice. Schools, no less than the sciences, profit from playful exploration-of musical instruments in fourth grade physical science, for example, and hotel lobby decorative rock in a college geology course. Aesthetic expression permeates geologic interpretation and evolutionary insight-in depicting dentition, for instance, in the history of the horse family and linking this history to changing landscapes. Participating in collecting local, high altitude weather data enhances trust in climate science, especially when the observations benefit the local farming community. Allied with historical examples of the conduct of science, Beyond Science Standards offers the reader inspiring stories of science teaching, varying from place to place, time to time, discipline to discipline, and purpose to purpose.

Discourses of Globalisation, and the Politics of History School Textbooks (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022): Joseph Zajda Discourses of Globalisation, and the Politics of History School Textbooks (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Joseph Zajda
R3,982 Discovery Miles 39 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book focuses on discourses of the politics of history education and history textbooks. It offers a new insight into understanding of the nexus between ideology, the state, and nation-building, as depicted in history education and school textbooks. It especially focuses on the interpretation of social and political change, significant events, looking for possible biases and omissions, leadership and the contribution of key individuals, and continuities. The book discusses various aspects of historical narratives, and some selected key events in defining identity and nation-building. It considers the role of historiography in dominant historical narratives. It analyses history education, in both local and global settings, and its significance in promoting values education and intercultural and global understanding. It is argued that historical narratives add pedagogies, grounded in constructivist, metacognitive and transformational paradigms, have the power to engage the learner in significant and meaningful learning experiences, informed by multiple discourses of our historical narratives and those of other nations.

Interpreter Training in Context - European and Chinese Models Reconsidered (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Jie Liu Interpreter Training in Context - European and Chinese Models Reconsidered (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Jie Liu
R2,879 Discovery Miles 28 790 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This book addresses an important, yet under-researched domain in interpreting education: how theoretical training models should be responsive to context. To do so, it applies the linguistic concept of 'context' to interpreting studies by investigating practices in representative (conference) interpreting training programmes in Europe and China. After presenting an overview of interpreter training programmes, the author describes the need to reassess the applicability of the well-established and widely accepted model of interpreting from the Paris School (ESIT/AIIC model) to the Chinese interpreting training scene. Building on the theoretical study of context in foreign language classrooms suggested by linguists like Halliday and Hasan (1993); Kramsch (1993) and others, the author subsequently constructs a new curriculum, comprising a four-step approach to consecutive interpreting courses in the Chinese context. The rationale for such an approach is justified in accordance with the overall design of context, taking into account the four dimensions in a teaching-learning environment. This book is intended for scholars and graduate students who are interested in translation and interpreting, applied linguistics as well as foreign language education. It also serves as a practical guide for developing (university-level) translation and interpreting programmes.
