Teacher Education and the Development of Practical Judgement (Hardcover): Ruth Heilbronn Teacher Education and the Development of Practical Judgement (Hardcover)
Ruth Heilbronn
R4,369 Discovery Miles 43 690 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Current conceptions of teacher training reflect key issues in professional practices. Two prevailing views seem to be in conflict, the first is that a teacher ought to be able to act as an autonomous professional, trusted to have and apply subject knowledge, through the exercise of judgement. The second conception views the teacher more as a 'deliverer' of a specific curriculum, defined centrally in various government sponsored strategies. Much has been written on the development of 'the reflective practitioner' as crucial to the first conception, and a strong critique of 'the audit culture' in education has emerged. Currently we are at a significant moment in teacher education, - a 'lighter touch' KS3 curriculum and the instigation of new standards for the award of qualified teacher status (QTS). The QTS standards are important as they are set to form the basis of standards at all levels of teaching. This book examines in depth current education and suggests why and how teachers need to develop and exercise practical knowledge and understanding; how standards assessment alone cannot support this teacher 'formation'; and what good 'formation' might be. The nature of practical knowledge is analysed, using some concepts from the work of John Dewey, in two theoretical chapters (4 and 5). The current standards-based model of teacher training in England is predominantly instrumentalist in its application of 'technical rationality' and unsuited to the formation of teachers. However, the often invoked concept of the 'reflective practitioner' is underdetermined and a conception of reflection is needed to illuminate its contribution to the development of practical judgement. The book's argument applies more widely to the debate between 'deregulators' and 'professionalisers' in other spheres of economic and social activity. In asking specific questions about teacher education, questions about the aims of education within specific conditions are raised.

Maxine Bailey, Sara Bubb, Ruth Heilbronn, Cath Jones, Michael Totterdell
R3,543 Discovery Miles 35 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Induction - the first year of a teacher's career - is a crucial, and potentially difficult, period. This book is the work of a well-known and highly respected team of experts on the subject and is based on a comprehensive nationwide research project into the implementation and effectiveness of the latest statutory regulations covering induction in England. It includes not only findings from this research, but also numerous ideas from, and examples of, best practice. Including case studies from primary and secondary schools, in the state and private sectors, this book raises awareness of the complexities entailed in inducting new teachers, addresses the issues, dilemmas and problems of induction and celebrates the achievements of the national induction policy. Its insights provide an invaluable guide to the effective implementation of induction in schools.

Dewey and Education in the 21st Century - Fighting Back (Paperback): Ruth Heilbronn, Christine Doddington, Rupert Higham Dewey and Education in the 21st Century - Fighting Back (Paperback)
Ruth Heilbronn, Christine Doddington, Rupert Higham
R1,017 Discovery Miles 10 170 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book makes a strong case for the abiding relevance of Dewey's notion of learning through experience, with a community of others and what this implies for democratic education in the 21st century. Its first section addresses the experience of today's generation of so-called 'digital natives' in terms of how we should now understand 'knowledge' and how their online experience creates opportunities and challenges for the curriculum, such as schools linking internationally to study classical texts; an exposition of why makerspaces, hackerspaces and Fab Labs might support Dewey's democratic communities in our time, with on-line affordances of 'a commons', a space to use imagination and invent and share with others. The book's second section is original in its focus on the central Deweyan idea of 'embodiment' with chapters on Dewey and the Alexander technique and on experiences of Afro-American students, in public schools, especially those situated in multi-racial, multi-ethnic countries like the U.S. with deep, racial divides and tensions. The section ends with a chapter on the somaesthetic, educational value of learning outside of buildings. A third section on experience related to democracy and education, has chapters on Dewey and the democratic curriculum, experience as a preparation for democracy, communication and the critique of individualism. Dewey's notion of interest is analyzed and questioned as to whether it is a sympathetic notion for educational development. With contributions from Spain, Cameroon, the US and the UK the book ranges across varied curricular and policy contexts to explore what reading Dewey can contribute to contemporary education studies.

Starting to Teach in the Secondary School - A Companion for the Newly Qualified Teacher (Paperback, 2nd edition): Susan Capel,... Starting to Teach in the Secondary School - A Companion for the Newly Qualified Teacher (Paperback, 2nd edition)
Susan Capel, Marilyn Leask, Tony Turner, Ruth Heilbronn
R1,168 Discovery Miles 11 680 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Seventy per cent of newly qualified secondary teachers say that they are well-prepared for certain aspects of teaching their specialist subject - such as planning, selecting resources and assessing their own teaching - and yet feel very much less prepared in other professional areas.
This second edition tackles all the issues that new teachers find difficult. It builds on the skills and knowledge they will have learned on their initial teacher education or PGCE course and offers a planned process of professional development and includes chapters on:

  • managing yourself and your workload
  • working as part of a team
  • developing teaching and learning strategies
  • challenging behaviour in the classroom
  • assessing, recording and reporting
  • values and Citizenship Education
  • the school sixth form and the growth of vocational qualifications
  • continuing professional development.

The book can be used either as a stand alone companion for newly qualified teachers, or as a follow-on from the editors' successful text book, Learning to Teach in the Secondary School, also published by Routledge.
