This book is an invitation to reflect on anything concerning
culture, and especially its institutionalized form of education. It
aims to share with readers any data shaped by place and time that
concerns education. The content of this interesting and informative
manuscript is an expansive overview of the evolution of education,
starting from the ancient era all the way to present. It includes
the work of renowned theorists, researchers, and authors and
highlights the epistemological orientations of pedagogy and
pedagogical trends over time, demonstrating the breadth and depth
of education that certainly cannot be a mere set of techniques. The
approach of the terms "upbringing", "education" and "pedagogy" is
at the heart of this book/guide for every spiritual man. The
purpose of this work is the dissemination of pedagogical values and
concerns that, as evidenced by the approach of great pedagogues, do
not substantially differ from one country to another. This indeed
is the hallmark of classic works, particularly works related to the
humanitarian values. In difficult times, we must all turn to defend
values human values which should permeate education. Modern society
presents obvious signs of crisis in the global context, and this is
why modern humanity has ceased to be a purpose. This work is faced
with constant challenges in the education sector and raises the
concern about the progress of education and its future. It is a
necessity and a masterpiece that can be shared with various
audiences, directly or indirectly related to the theory and
practice of pedagogy. As aptly noted by Dostoevsky in his work "The
Basement", if man seeks to remain human and not a "piano key", he
must show consistency in human capacity. The culture and
institutionalized forms, dissemination of pedagogical values are
the one and only answer, the single orientation.
Single-Parenting in the 21st Century: Perceptions, Issues and
Implications explores and illuminates the landscape of
single-parenting in the twenty-first century, during which a great
number of individuals have begun parenting on their own. Nationally
and internationally recognized experts apply their multiple years
of experience as researchers and offer the most complete handbook
available to exploring the uncharted waters of single-parenting in
the twenty-firstt century. The volume provides in-depth answers to
important questions, such as: Does being a single parent effect
physical and mental health? What is the economic status of
single-mother and single-father families? Is the psychosocial
adjustment, school performance and behavior of single-parent
students related to nuclear family children? With these questions
in mind, the chapters are classified into three categories: a)
Single-Parenting and Health; b) Single-Parenting and Economic
Disadvantage; and c) Single-Parenting and Education. Globalization,
demographic shifts, economic, cultural, social and moral crisis,
and changing trends in the labor sector all signify the
distinctiveness of the current moment with regards to family
patterns. This one-of-a-kind book promotes a world-view, a
perspective of the multiple effects of single-parenting both on
parents as well as children and presents the most recent research
data on the complex issues surrounding single-parenthood. Written
with clarity and candor by worldwide researchers and experts,
Single-Parenting in the 21st Century: Perceptions, Issues and
Implications is an essential read for teachers, parents,
administrators and policymakers at all levels.
