ISBN: 9781433128134 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Grounded in the belief that hope comes from a place of reality, not necessarily popular ideology, this book explores the gap between designated and actual narratives within Teach For America.

The second chapter then responds to the first by refocusing the discussion inside the United States. It has long been understood that it is difficult to perceive one s own context as contingent on culture and history, thus, exploring social phenomena in a different context assists in perceiving the dynamics at play. Ultimately, though, social theory should be used to...

ISBN: 9781433101182 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Historically, conventional scholars in the field of education have asserted that underachievement by Black students may be attributed to cultural deprivation and/or genetic deficiencies. Hypotheses like these have led to the proliferation of theories that Black students are inferior when compared to their White counterparts. But despite such assertions, some Blacks have been able to succeed academically. Commonly expressed themes in recent literature suggest that intelligent Black students must cross cultural and racial boundaries to be successful academically. Consequently, Black students...

Inhabited Silence in Qualitative Research; Putting Poststructural Theory to Work
ISBN: 9780820488769 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 141 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Inhabited Silence in Qualitative Research demonstrates, or -puts to work, - poststructural theory in the doing of qualitative research. Using this theoretical approach, the book proposes a data set lacking in the methodological literature, namely silence. It highlights the need for qualitative researchers not to dismiss silence as an omission or an absence of empirical materials, but rather to engage silence as meaningful and purposeful. This is an important book that should be read by researchers, teachers, and students."

ISBN: 9781433125218 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

This book builds upon the notion of the public intellectual in a way that makes the term more accessible, using it to refer to education scholars who seek to share their research outside of academia. Media coverage of educational issues is rife with self-appointed experts on education who have claimed space in public discussions to define educational problems and dominate...

Qualitative Research: A Reader in Philosophy, Core Concepts, and Practice
ISBN: 9781433104732 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 521 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. We conceived of this book with the idea that critical explorations into the key philosophical issues in qualitative research could throw light on distortions, power relations, hidden assumptions and possibilities within the field, and could ultimately provide the groundwork for needed change and new directions. We wanted to do this with rigor, getting underneath the contemporary divisions in qualitative research, first building up philosophy and core concepts and then returning to specific practices in qualitative research. The book, in a way, then, is a statement of hope.
