Curriculum Landscapes and Trends (Hardcover, 2004 ed.): Jan Van Den Akker, Wilmad Kuiper, Uwe Hameyer Curriculum Landscapes and Trends (Hardcover, 2004 ed.)
Jan Van Den Akker, Wilmad Kuiper, Uwe Hameyer
R2,943 Discovery Miles 29 430 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Curriculum problems are everywhere: alert observers with a practiced eye and educated mind will find it almost impossible to read a newspaper without discovering curricular issues. The media often report about educational reforms or even about curriculum wars with opposing parties fiercely debating the aims, content and organization of learning. Few people analyze these trends and discussions from a curricular conceptual framework. In addition, people sometimes think that their curriculum approaches and problems are unique and context-specific. However, international experience shows us that we can learn a lot from curriculum issues elsewhere.
This book aims to sharpen the eyes and minds of a broader audience in identifying, understanding, addressing and reflecting upon curriculum problems. It also aims to contribute to the increased exchange, discussion and reflection on all the current curriculum problems that form such a crucial part of learning worldwide.

R2,967 Discovery Miles 29 670 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In our contemporary learning society, expectations about the contribution of education and training continue to rise. Moreover, the potential of information and communication technology (ICT) creates many challenges. These trends affect not only the aims, content and processes of learning, they also have a strong impact on educational design and development approaches in research and professional practices. Prominent researchers from the Netherlands and the USA present their latest findings on these issues in this volume. The major purpose of this book is to discuss current thinking on promising design approaches and to present innovative (computer-based) tools. The book aims to serve as a resource and reference work that will stimulate advancement in the field of education and training. It is intended to be useful in academic settings as well as for professionals in design and development practices.

R4,160 Discovery Miles 41 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The field of design research has been gaining momentum over the last five years, particularly in educational studies. As papers and articles have grown in number, definition of the domain is now beginning to standardise. This book fulfils a growing need by providing a synthesised assessment of the use of development research in education. It looks at four main elements:

  • background information including origins, definitions of development research, description of applications and benefits and risks associated with studies of this kind
  • how the approach can serve the design of learning environments and educational technology
  • quality assurance - how to safeguard academic rigor while conducting design and development studies
  • a synthesis and overview of the topic along with relevant reflections.

Wout Ottevanger, Jan Van Den Akker, Leo de Feiter
R490 Discovery Miles 4 900 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

'Developing Science, Mathematics and ICT in Secondary Education' is based on country studies from ten Sub-Saharan African countries: Botswana, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, and a literature review. It reveals a number of huge challenges in science, mathematics and ICT (SMICT) education in sub-Saharan Africa: poorly-resourced schools; large classes; a curriculum hardly relevant to the daily lives of students; a lack of qualified teachers; and inadequate teacher education programs. Through examining country case studies, this paper discusses the lessons for improvement of SMICT in secondary education in Africa.
