Particularities: Collected Essays on Ethnography and Education
ISBN: 9780820436746 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Ethnography is much more than a collection of research techniques. The paradigm wars in educational research have pushed qualitative methods to become increasingly focused on technique and theory. The essays in this volume speak against these trends by examining ethnography as a way of understanding particularities. Examining the ethnographic enterprise itself, "Particularities" demonstrates the power of ethnography through discrete studies of education and race.

The evaluation of teachers is at the forefront of national discussion, with the divide on the topic growing increasingly deeper.

Teacher Evaluation: The Charge and the Challenges aims to talk back to...

Mediacology: A Multicultural Approach to Media Literacy in the Twenty-First Century
ISBN: 9780820497075 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Traditional media literacy models are mostly left-brained, inherited from the legacy of alphabetic literacy, the Gutenberg press revolution, and industrial mass media production. New digital media radically alter the environment: their nonlinear, multisensory, field-like properties are more right-brain oriented. Consequently, rather than focus exclusively on deconstructing the products of design objects (such as an advertisement -text-), digital learning should respond to the design of the system itself, including cultural and cognitive bias.

Betwixt & Between: The Liminal Imagination, Education, and Democracy
ISBN: 9780820469140 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Both neo-liberal and Third Way politicians and pundits have come to accept globalisation as the key determinant of social and political organization. Consequently, they have confused government s role in the liberal democratic state with that of the globalised corporation. The result has been a discursive closure about what counts as human flourishing, and about the nature of the educational provision which best serves such flourishing which is co-terminous with economic success. This book offers both a challenge to such an equivalence, and an understanding of the dispositions and practices...

This collection of essays tackles what comes of learning to read and write after literacy has been achieved. These essays take up notable gaps in all that has been said and written about literacy in the schools, moving beyond the idea that learning to read and write is an end in itself. They are about the power that reading and writing has over the world. These essays deal with what the young are to make of the world while reading in a postmodern era and how they respond to the way new technologies can narrow the gap between school and work worlds. Others confront the authorities, whether of...

Transforming Undergraduate Science Teaching: Social Constructivist Perspectives
ISBN: 9780820452937 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book comes at a time when epistemological reform is sweeping through the global community of science education. Since the 1970s, the theories of knowing embodied in the teaching activities of school science teachers have been undergoing a major transformation toward more learner-sensitive standpoints. But undergraduate science teaching, the breeding ground of teachers of school science, has remained largely teacher-centered in many lecture theaters and laboratories. Little wonder that newly graduated science teachers arrive in school science classrooms ill prepared to practice...
