Adult Education in Neoliberal Times - Policies, Philosophies and Professionalism (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Marion Bowl Adult Education in Neoliberal Times - Policies, Philosophies and Professionalism (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Marion Bowl
R3,633 Discovery Miles 36 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book explores the realities of adult education practice in the current political and economic climate. With a particular focus on examining the effect of the multitude of changes in policy and philosophy over the past 30 years, the book explores how the values and career expectations of adult educators have been affected, and considers the implications for adult education as a field of professional practice. As well as exploring the broader international picture, the book draws on the findings of recent research into adult and community education practitioners' perspectives in two case study countries - England and Aotearoa/New Zealand - to illustrate how local contexts and cultures, as well as global trends, impact on the structure and organisation of adult education. By presenting the perspectives of adult educators, whose voices have been relatively absent from the recent literature, this book gives a unique insight into how their work has been adversely affected by funding and policy pressures in an increasingly insecure educational environment, and analyses their responses to the contradictions between their professional values and the expectations placed upon them by policy and funding changes. It will be of great interest to students and researchers working in Education and Sociology, and will also make compelling reading for policy-makers.

Mapping the Field - 75 Years of Educational Review, Volume II: Jane Martin, Marion Bowl, Gemma Banks Mapping the Field - 75 Years of Educational Review, Volume II
Jane Martin, Marion Bowl, Gemma Banks
R3,885 Discovery Miles 38 850 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

From its origins in the University of Birmingham’s then Institute of Education in 1948, Educational Review has emerged as a leading international journal for generic educational research. Seventy-five years on, Mapping the Field presents a detailed account of education theory and research, policy, and practice through the lens of key articles published in the journal over this timespan. Volume II opens with Part I, a collection of articles examining teachers’ job (dis/) satisfaction and stress, and the gendered composition of the teaching workforce. Articles in Part II trace a shift in academic focus from schools seen as families/communities, to the parent-school relationship. The concepts of inclusion and equality—and strategies for their fulfilment in education—are interrogated in Part III. The volume concludes with Part IV, in which diverse identities in the education field are represented. Curated and introduced by the editors, the articles included in both volumes of Mapping the Field represent a careful selection from the work of scholars whose ideas have been, and continue to be, influential in the field of education. Overall, this major text covers a wide range of topics and offers original insights into educational policy, provision, processes, and practice from around the world.

Marion Bowl, Colin Mccaig, Jonathan Hughes
R2,549 Discovery Miles 25 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This edited collection demonstrates how discourses and practices associated with marketisation, differentiation and equality are manifested in UK higher education today. Uniting leading scholars in higher education and equality in England, the contributors and editors expose the contradictions arising from the tension between aims for increased equality and an increasingly marketised higher education. As the authors seek to reveal both the intended and unintended consequences of the intensified marketisation of the sector, they critically examine the implications of these changes. In doing so, they reveal the ways in which institutional policy and discourse are involved in masking the contradictions between an educational marketplace and education as a vehicle for advancing equality and social justice. This pioneering volume will be of interest and value to students and scholars of higher education in England, education policy and the marketisation of higher education, as well as policy makers and practitioners.

From its origins in the University of Birmingham’s then Institute of Education in 1948, Educational Review has emerged as a leading international journal for generic educational research. Seventy-five years on, Mapping the Field presents a detailed account of education theory and research, policy, and practice through the lens of some of the key articles published in the journal over this timespan. The Foreword written by the journal’s editors in Volume I presents a comprehensive account of the changing context for education scholarship and plots the key events in the development of the journal. The articles in Part I discuss some of the underpinning theories and research methodologies which have guided education researchers and practitioners, both past and present. Parts II and III focus on politics and policymaking in education and on the challenges involved in managing educational practice. The articles included in both volumes of Mapping the Field represent a careful selection from the work of scholars whose ideas have been, and continue to be, influential in the field of education.

Gender, Masculinities and Lifelong Learning (Hardcover): Marion Bowl, Robert Tobias, Jennifer Leahy, Graeme Ferguson, Jeffrey... Gender, Masculinities and Lifelong Learning (Hardcover)
Marion Bowl, Robert Tobias, Jennifer Leahy, Graeme Ferguson, Jeffrey Gage
R3,883 Discovery Miles 38 830 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Gender, Masculinities and Lifelong Learning reflects on current debates and discourses around gender and education, in which some academics, practitioners and policy-makers have referred to a crisis of masculinity. This book explores questions such as: Are men under-represented in education? Are women outstripping men in terms of achievement? What evidence supports the view that men are becoming educationally disadvantaged?

Drawing on research from a number of countries, including the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, the contributors discus a range of issues which intersect with gender to impact on education, including structural factors such as class, ethnicity and age as well as colonisation and migration. The book provides evidence and argument to illuminate contemporary debates about the involvement of men and women in education, including:

  • The impact of colonisation on the gendering of education and lifelong learning
  • International surveys on men, women and educational participation
  • Gender, masculinities and migrants learning experiences
  • Boys-only classes as a response to the problem of underachieving boys
  • Men s perspectives on learning to become parents
  • Community learning, gender and public policy
  • Older men s perspectives on (re-)entering post-compulsory education

The book goes on to suggest the implications for practice, research and policy. Importantly, it critically addresses some of the taken-for-granted beliefs about men and their engagement in lifelong learning, presenting new evidence to demonstrate the complexity of gender and education today. With these complexities in mind, the authors provide a framework for developing further understanding of the issues involved with gender and lifelong learning.

Gender, Masculinities and Lifelong Learning will be of interest to any practitioner open to fresh ideas and approaches in teaching and programming connected with gender and education.
