International Perspectives on Education (Hardcover): Meng Huat Chau, Trevor Kerry International Perspectives on Education (Hardcover)
Meng Huat Chau, Trevor Kerry
R5,859 Discovery Miles 58 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

"International Perspectives on Education" is intended for those with an interest in education as an academic area, including students of Education Studies and MA Education. It is also suitable for those who have an interest in applied theory, including those involved in or training for the teaching profession; and to those who are concerned with the management and governance of education: those who formulate policy, those charged with inspecting or advising the profession, and those (such as head teachers or school governors) whose task is to guide others."International Perspectives on Education" draws on the knowledge and experience of a distinguished team of international educationists. Each chapter can be accessed as a resource on a specific topic, but the chapters are also grouped into three sections to provide an invaluable source of thinking and knowledge from leading thinkers and practitioners in their fields: Perspectives on Education; Supporting the Learning Process; and Teachers and Professional Development. Here issues are raised, debates are stimulated and thoughts are provoked.The prevailing view by all contributors is that the learning experience and environment should not only be stimulating and intellectually interesting, but also socially inclusive and fulfilling, with a need to develop learners' potential and personality around a set of good values. All this lies at the heart of quality education, and stimulates a new debate in support for the re-humanisation of education, rather than the de-humanisation that we have seen in recent times with attempts to tie its products and processes more closely with models generated in the world of commerce.This collection reflects the development of education within an international context of trends, good practices and experience. It will be of interest to those who have an interest in education as an academic area of study (undergraduate students and lecturers, higher degree students and those involved in, or training for the teaching profession), and to those who are concerned with the management and governance of education: those who formulate policy, those charged with inspecting or advising the profession, and those whose task is to guide others.

Mixed Ability Teaching (Paperback): Margaret Sands, Trevor Kerry Mixed Ability Teaching (Paperback)
Margaret Sands, Trevor Kerry
R919 Discovery Miles 9 190 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Mixed ability teaching was the subject of a lively debate in the early 1980s within the teaching profession. Some educationalists took the view that mixed ability teaching was a great step forward which should be encouraged at all costs, whilst other strongly disagreed. Others whilst acknowledging that mixed ability teaching is a good idea, were against it, pointing to the many practical difficulties which face a teacher teaching to a mixed ability class. Originally published in 1982, this book provides a comprehensive survey of the issues involved, offering a range of approaches to the issue of whether and how to group children for mixed ability teaching. The aim is to help students and teachers to look more dispassionately at the topic and, in the process, to explore their own reactions and attitudes. The book considers the methods that should be employed in mixed ability teaching, examining the different strategies that need to be adopted for different subjects, and exploring the special position of exceptional children, both slow learners and gifted in a mixed ability class. At all times the book avoids over-technical language and is written at a level that will make it readily accessible to teachers and trainee teachers. It will be particularly effective where debate is still in progress: school staffs who are considering whether to change to mixed ability; students discussing the issues in a seminar; and as a starting point for in-service training. Providing many useful insights that will enable teachers to cope better with mixed ability classes, the book concludes by considering how mixed ability teaching will develop in the future. Today it can be read in its historical context.

Meeting the Challenges of Change in Postgraduate Education (Hardcover, New): Trevor Kerry Meeting the Challenges of Change in Postgraduate Education (Hardcover, New)
Trevor Kerry
R4,258 Discovery Miles 42 580 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This text takes a radical look at the nature of adult learning in the postgraduate context and at the implications of this for universities and their courses. While, over recent decades, schools have had to undergo major re-assessments about how learning is developed into curriculum, how learning is delivered to students, and how that learning is assessed, universities have remained very largely detached from these pedagogical/andragogical issues. However, the circumstances of higher education provision have changed. There is also real pressure now from vocationalism. Meeting the Challeneges of Change in Postgraduate Education places these movements in both a UK and a wider context examines the nature of learning and teaching in postgraduate education and opens up the debate for rethinking university provision. The book examines concepts such as integration as ways of retaining the higher order skills of a university education over against narrower, technicist approaches and suggest a continuum of provision, but one in which the learner takes centre stage.
