How Computers Entered the Classroom, 1960-2000 - Historical Perspectives (Hardcover): Carmen Flury, Michael Geiss How Computers Entered the Classroom, 1960-2000 - Historical Perspectives (Hardcover)

In the history of education, the question of how computers were introduced into European classrooms has so far been largely neglected. This edited volume strives to address this gap. The contributions shed light on the computerization of education from a historical perspective, by attending closely to the different actors involved - such as politicians, computer manufacturers, teachers, and students -, political rationales and ideologies, as well as financial, political, or organizational structures and relations. The case studies highlight differences in political and economic power, as well as in ideological reasoning and the priorities set by different stakeholders in the process of introducing computers into education. However, the contributions also demonstrate that simple cold war narratives fail to capture the complex dynamics and entanglements in the history of computers as an educational technology and a subject taught in schools. The edited volume thus provides a comprehensive historical understanding of the role of education in an emerging digital society.

Education and the State - International perspectives on a changing relationship (Paperback): Carla Aubry, Michael Geiss,... Education and the State - International perspectives on a changing relationship (Paperback)

In most countries in the world, school education is the business of the state. Even if forms and functions differ, the imparting of elementary knowledge is universally regarded as a public function. Yet this is neither self-evident nor self-explanatory. The degree of involvement of state agencies in the supervision, financing and organization of the school system sometimes varies so much that the usual assumption of a common understanding of 'the state' seems to be an illusion. Making international comparisons and focusing strongly on the historical conditions of the current form of state education, this volume paints a nuanced picture of how the relationship between 'education' and 'state' has been and is conceptualized. Insights into this relationship are gained by considering and analysing both specific processes such as financing and bureaucracy; and conceptual ideas, for example community, authority, and political utopias. The book presents comparative studies and analyses of regional and local conditions, arguing that the history of each country or region is critical to educational success, and the relationship between the education and the state must be reconsidered, both internationally and historically, in order to be of actual conceptual value. Education and the State presents a broad variety of approaches and examples that provide a significant contribution to the understanding of the relationship between education and the state. It will be of key value to academics and researchers in the fields of the history of education, the politics of education, and educational administration.

Verwaltete Schule - Geschichte und Gegenwart (German, Paperback, 2012 ed.): Michael Geiss, Andrea De Vincenti Verwaltete Schule - Geschichte und Gegenwart (German, Paperback, 2012 ed.)

Seit dem letzten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden Politik und Verwaltung als Steuerungszentrum der Gesellschaft grundlegend in Frage gestellt. Unter dem Begriff der 'Governance' setzte man neu auf Kooperation und Selbstregulierung sowie auf eine schlanke Burokratie. Diese Entwicklung brachte nicht nur neue Techniken der Steuerung des Bildungswesens hervor, sondern fuhrte auch zu einer Neubewertung der Rolle von Expertise im Steuerungsprozess. Der neue Band der Reihe 'Educational Governance' fragt daher, inwiefern sich das Verhaltnis von Politik, Verwaltung und Schule historisch verschoben hat und gegenwartig weiter verschiebt, ob in den Entwicklungen Bruche oder auch Kontinuitaten zu erkennen sind und wie diese gedeutet werden koennen.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich BWL - Bank, Borse, Versicherung, Note: 1,0, Universitat Liechtenstein, fruher Hochschule Liechtenstein (Hochschule Liechtenstein, Vaduz), 51 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Hedge Funds gelten auch als die Konigsklasse der Kapitalanlage. Uber kaum eine andere Form der Kapitalanlage wird in der Presse so kontrovers diskutiert wie uber Hedge Funds. Fur die einen stellen sie die Investitionsmoglichkeit schlecht hin dar, die unabhangig von Marktschwankungen beachtliche Uberrenditen erzielen konnen. Fur die anderen sind sie Teufelszeug, welche das Weltfinanzsystem gefahrden. Kein Wunder also, dass sich immer mehr Anleger und Kundenberater mit dieser Anlageklasse beschaftigen und darin, nach einer vierjahrigen Aktienhausse, eine echte Anlagealternative sehen. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit sollen zum einen die Grundstrukturen von Hedge Funds beleuchtet werden, um so dem interessierten Leser einen Uberblick uber die unterschiedlichsten Anlagetechniken von Hedge Funds zu geben. Im folgenden sollen die vermeintlichen Vorteile von Hedge Funds gegenuber traditionellen Anlagen kritisch beleuchtet werden. In Kapitel vier sollen dem potenziellen Investor weitere Hemmnisse aufgezeigt werden, mit denen er sich vor einer Investition in Hedge Funds auseinandersetzen sollte.
