Opis

About the Book Series The idea for the Book Series Innovation and Change in Professional Education (ICPE) was born in 1996. While working on another publication in this area, we noticed that professional educators faced similar problems without even knowing from each other. It was this observation that resulted in examining the possibilities for a new publication platform about professional education with input from different professions. We wanted to develop a publication source that would bring together educators and researchers to exchange ideas and knowledge about theory, research and professional practice. But we were not only striving for a book series informing readers about important themes in the professions. A second goal was to focus on processes of change and innovation. We were heavily involved in innovations going on in our institutions, and were convinced that a better understanding was needed in a wide range of issues critically important to the future of professional education. It was our belief that scholarly publications about innovation processes may support fundamental change in professional education. ICPE reflects our view that professional education deserves such a publication platform. It aims to approach critical questions of educational innovations, and to examine dynamics of educational change in various professional domains in the context of innovation processes. The books will include contributions from frontline practitioners, leading researchers, or distinguished scholars in professional education, delivering reports of empirical or theoretical research, reviews, interpretations of evaluation studies, or descriptions of innovative approaches."

Recenzje

From the reviews:

"... it provides an excellent overview of a substantial portion of recent research in this area. Researchers in this field will find it invaluable, not only for the wide range of original research reported but also for the wealth of new ideas discussed."

O autorze

Dr. Hans Gruber, Jahrgang 1943, faszinierte bereits früh die spielerischen Elemente von Naturwissenschaften. Er studierte und promovierte zum Dr. rer. nat. an der RWTH Aachen und entwickelte bereits während seiner beruflichen Tätigkeiten als Chemiker Demonstrationsmaterialien, um Laien den Zugang zur Naturwissenschaft zu erleichtern. Mit Eintritt in das Rentenalter perfektionierte er dieses Hobby als 'Jugendtechnik' und entwickelte eine umfangreiche Sammlung an Lernspielen, die Kinder und Jugendliche selbst bauen und auf diesem Weg ihre Liebe zu Naturwissenschaft und Technik entdecken können. Begreifen durch Anfassen.
