Attachment theory has massively influenced contemporary psychology.
While intended to be general, this western theory harbors a number
of culturally biased assumptions and is devoted to decontextualized
experimental procedures that fail to challenge this ethnocentrism.
The chapters in this volume rethink attachment theory by examining
it in the context of local cultural meanings, including the
meanings of childrearing practices, the cultural models of virtue
that shape those practices, and the translation of shared childhood
experience into adult cultural understandings through developmental
and psychodynamic processes. The current volume is not only a
challenge to attachment theorists, but also an object lesson for
psychologists of many other stripes.
This edited collection presents a range of heretofore unpublished,
unavailable methods for the systematic reconstruction of culture
from interviews and other discourse. Authors set the design and
evolution of their methods in the context of their own research
projects, and draw general lessons about investigating culture
through discourse. These methods have largely grown out of the work
of the cultural models school, and represent the approaches of some
of the very best methodologists in cultural anthropology today. An
impetus for the volume has been inquiries from researchers, many of
them graduate students, about how to conduct the kind of research
that cultural models theorists do. This is not a linguistics book;
unlike approaches to discourse analysis from linguistics, this
volume focuses on culture, treating discourse as a medium
especially rich in clues for cultural analysis, and hence a window
into culture.
Ensure Your Instructional Design Stands Up to Learning Science.
Learning science is a professional imperative for instructional
designers. In fact, instructional design is applied learning
science. To create effective learning experiences that engage, we
need to know how learning works and what facilitates and hinders
it. We need to track the underlying research and articulate how our
designs reflect what is known. Otherwise, how can we claim to be
scrutable in our approaches? Learning Science for Instructional
Designers: From Cognition to Application distills the current scope
of learning science into an easy-to-read primer. Good instructional
design makes learning as simple as possible by removing
distractions, minimizing the cognitive load, and chunking necessary
information into digestible bits. But our aim must go beyond
enabling learners to recite facts to empowering them to make better
decisions-decisions about what to do, when, and how. This book
prepares you to design learning experiences that ensure retention
over time and transfer to the appropriate situations. Gain insights
into: Providing spaced practice and reflection. Tapping into
motivation and challenge to build learner confidence. Using
performance-support tools, social learning, and humor
appropriately. Prompts at the end of each chapter will spark your
thinking about how to use these concepts and more in your daily
work. Written by Clark N. Quinn, author of Millennials, Goldfish
& Other Training Misconceptions: Debunking Learning Myths and
Superstitions, this book is perfect for anyone who strives for
their instruction to stand up to learning science.
Since the 1950s, the study of early attachment and separation has
been dominated by a school of psychology that is Euro-American in
its theoretical assumptions. Based on ethnographic studies in a
range of locales, this book goes beyond prior efforts to critique
attachment theory, providing a cross-cultural basis for
understanding human development.
