The Routledge Education Studies Textbook is an academically wide-ranging and appropriately challenging resource for students beyond the introductory stages of a degree programme in Education Studies. Written in a clear and engaging style, the chapters are divided into three sections that examine fundamental ideas and issues, explore educational contexts, and offer study and research guidance respectively.

To support the development of critical thinking, debates between contributors are interspersed within sections and address the following questions:

  • Do private schools legitimise privilege?
  • Should the liberal state support religious schooling?
  • Are developments in post-14 education reducing the divide between the academic and the vocational?
  • Do schools contribute to social and community cohesion?
  • Do traditional and progressive teaching methods exist or are there only effective and ineffective methods?
  • Educational Research: a foundation for teacher professionalism?

Each chapter opens with an overview of the rationale behind it and closes with a summary of the main points. At the end of every chapter key questions are posed, encouraging the student to critically reflect on the content, and suggestions for further reading are made.

The Routledge Education Studies Textbook is essential reading for students of Education Studies, especially during second and third years of the undergraduate degree. It will be of interest to trainee teachers, including those working towards M Level.

James Arthur, Ian Davies, David Kerr, Andrew Wrenn
R1,198 Discovery Miles 11 980 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Addressing education for citizenship and the teaching of democracy in schools, the final report of the advisory group set up by the Secretary of State for Education notes a need for citizenship education as a distinct part of the curriculum, but also recognizes that "it can be taught in combination with other subjects". It highlights history as one of the key subjects. This book defines the contribution that history can make to citizenship and democracy education, and which it must make if citizenship education is to be effective in a crowded curriculum. It addresses both the ways in which the content and the pedagogy of the secondary history curriculum can contribute to the teaching of citizenship and ways in which the proposed content of the curriculum for citizenship can be addressed through history. Theoretical discussion is used to provide a platform for the presentation of practical teaching suggestions. The use of case studies in the final section clarifies classroom issues.

At Risk - Natural Hazards, People's Vulnerability And Disasters (Paperback, 2nd edition): Ben Wisner, Piers Blaikie, Terry... At Risk - Natural Hazards, People's Vulnerability And Disasters (Paperback, 2nd edition)
Ben Wisner, Piers Blaikie, Terry Cannon, Ian Davis
R570 R539 Discovery Miles 5 390 Save R31 (5%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

The term 'natural disaster' is often used to refer to natural events such as earthquakes, hurricanes or floods. However, the phrase 'natural disaster' suggests an uncritical acceptance of a deeply engrained ideological and cultural myth.

At Risk questions this myth and argues that extreme natural events are not disasters until a vulnerable group of people is exposed. It also focuses on what makes people vulnerable. Often this means analyzing the links between poverty and vulnerability. But it is also important to take account of different social groups that suffer more in extreme events, including women, children, the frail and elderly, ethnic minorities, illegal immigrants, refugees and people with disabilities.

Vulnerability has also been increased by global environmental change and economic globalization - it is an irony of the 'risk society' that efforts to provide 'security' often create new risks. Fifty years of deforestation in Honduras and Nicaragua opened up the land for the export of beef, coffee, bananas, and cotton. It enriched the few, but endangered the many when hurricane Mitch struck these areas in 1998. Rainfall sent denuded hillsides sliding down on villages and towns.

This new edition of At Risk confronts a further ten years of ever more expensive and deadly disasters since it was first published and discusses disaster not as an aberration, but as a signal failure of mainstream 'development'. Two analytical models are provided as tools for understanding vulnerability. One links remote and distant 'root causes' to 'unsafe conditions' in a 'progression of vulnerability'. The other uses the concepts of 'access' and 'livelihood' to understand why some households are more vulnerable than others.

The book then concludes with strategies to create a safer world..

Recovery from Disaster (Hardcover): Ian Davis, David Alexander Recovery from Disaster (Hardcover)
Ian Davis, David Alexander
R4,466 Discovery Miles 44 660 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Disasters can dominate newspaper headlines and fill our TV screens with relief appeals, but the complex long-term challenge of recovery-providing shelter, rebuilding safe dwellings, restoring livelihoods and shattered lives-generally fails to attract the attention of the public and most agencies. On average 650 disasters occur each year. They affect more than 200 million people and cause $166 trillion of damage. Climate change, population growth and urbanisation are likely to intensify further the impact of natural disasters and add to reconstruction needs. Recovery from Disaster explores the field and provides a concise, comprehensive source of knowledge for academics, planners, architects, engineers, construction managers, relief and development officials and reconstruction planners involved with all sectors of recovery, including shelter and rebuilding. With almost 80 years of first-hand experience of disaster recovery between them, Ian Davis (an architect) and David Alexander (a geographer) draw substantially from first-hand experiences in a variety of recovery situations in China, Haiti, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines and the USA. The volume is further enriched by two important and unique features: 21 models of disaster recovery are presented, seven of which were specifically developed for the book. The second feature is a survey of expert opinion about the nature of effective disaster recovery-the first of its kind. More than 50 responses are provided in full, along with an analysis that integrates them with the theories that underpin them. By providing a framework and models for future study and applications, Davis and Alexander seek both to advance the field and to provide a much-needed reference work for decision makers. With a broad perspective derived from the authors' roles held as university professors, researchers, trainers, consultants, NGO directors and advisors to governments and UN agencies, this comprehensive guide will be invaluable for practitioners and students of disaster management.
