In today's society, the professional development of teachers is
urgent due to the constant change in working conditions and the
impact that information and communication technologies have in
teaching practices. ""Online Learning Communities and Teacher
Professional Development: Methods for Improved Education Delivery""
features innovative applications and solutions useful for teachers
in developing knowledge and skills for the integration of
technology into everyday teaching practices. This defining
collection of field research discusses how technology itself can
serve as an important resource in terms of providing arenas for
professional development.
This Open Access book analyses the interplay between governing,
evaluation and knowledge with an empirical focus on Swedish higher
education. It investigates the origins, logics, and mechanisms of
evaluation and quality assurance reforms and their dynamic
interactions with institutional, national and European policy
contexts. The chapters report findings from extensive empirical
studies that offer detailed insight into the work of governing in
higher education, by giving voice to actors at various levels and
positions including the ministry, national agency and University
employees. Central themes include the influence of European policy,
changing system designs, media relations and quality assurance
enactments in University institutions. The book also explores the
ways in which an emerging professional cadre, labelled qualocrats,
enacts and mediates evaluation and quality assurance policy and
practice. Taken together, the expanding evaluation machinery in
Swedish higher education highlights the pivotal role of knowledge
as a governing resource, and points to special features of
evaluation as a particular form of practice that makes knowledge
work for governing.
