Written by scholars and educators based in Canada and the USA, this
book articulates and implements a new cutting-edge theoretical
framework entitled the disruptive learning narrative (DLN). The
contributing authors analyze their experiences with international
service learning students using DLN to uncover important lessons
about race relations, power and privilege. They offer fresh insight
on how DLN is useful in understanding and unpacking controversial
teaching moments abroad and provide further reflections on how
others can adapt the DLN framework to meet the contextual needs of
their international educational experience. The chapters offer case
studies and learning from international service learning and study
abroad programs in Canada, China, Columbia, Cuba, Kenya, Tanzania,
and the USA. The book provides essential knowledge and insights for
educators who wish to address the inherent messiness and complexity
of international experiences. It will help educators and
researchers to better understand the controversial and sensitive
issues of race relations, power and privilege dynamics.
Higher education has changed significantly over time. In
particular, traditional face-to-face degrees are being revamped in
a bid to ensure they stay relevant in the 21st century and are now
offered online. The transition for many universities to online
learning has been painful-only exacerbated by the COVID-19
pandemic, forcing many in-person students to join their virtual
peers and professors to learn new technologies and techniques to
educate. Moreover, work has also changed with little doubt as to
the impact of digital communication, remote work, and societal
change on the nature of work itself. There are arguments to be made
for organizations to become more agile, flexible, entrepreneurial,
and creative. As such, work and education are both traversing a
path of immense changes, adapting to global trends and consumer
preferences. The Handbook of Research on Future of Work and
Education: Implications for Curriculum Delivery and Work Design is
a comprehensive reference book that analyzes the realities of
higher education today, strategies that ensure the success of
academic institutions, and factors that lead to student success. In
particular, the book addresses essentials of online learning,
strategies to ensure the success of online degrees and courses,
effective course development practices, key support mechanisms for
students, and ensuring student success in online degree programs.
Furthermore, the book addresses the future of work, preferences of
employees, and how work can be re-designed to create further
employee satisfaction, engagement, and increase productivity. In
particular, the book covers insights that ensure that remote
employees feel valued, included, and are being provided relevant
support to thrive in their roles. Covering topics such as course
development, motivating online learners, and virtual environments,
this text is essential for academicians, faculty, researchers, and
students globally.
Drawing upon the long tradition of recalcitrant thought in Western
humanist scholarship, this book rethinks education and educational
research at a time of intense social transformation. By revisiting
a range of post-foundational ideas and developing their own
methodological experiment, Stephen Carney and Ulla Ambrosius Madsen
reimagine the possibilities for the comparative study of education.
Exploring the experiences of young people in Denmark, South Korea
and Zambia, this book illustrates how these very different contexts
are increasingly connected by common narratives of purpose, as well
as overheated promises of success. Focusing on the writings of Jean
Baudrillard, the authors examine them in the context of works by
other theorists of modernity, to explore processes of simulation
and disappearance that are shaping life worldwide. In the process,
the authors paint a rich portrait of education and schooling as a
site of joy, hope, pain and ambivalence. Encompassing both
theoretical and methodological innovation, Education in Radical
Uncertainty provides inspiration for scholars and students
attempting to approach the fields of comparative education,
education policy and youth studies anew.
