Using Standards and High-Stakes Testing for Students; Exploiting Power with Critical Pedagogy

This book overturns the typical conception of standards, empowering educators by providing concrete examples of how top-down models of assessment can be embraced and used in ways that are consistent with critical pedagogies. Although standards, as broad frameworks for setting learning targets, are not necessarily problematic, when they are operationalized as high-stakes assessments, test-based pedagogies emerge and frequently dominate the curriculum, leaving little room for...

Reimagining the Public Intellectual in Education: Making Scholarship Matter
ISBN: 9781433125218 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While the term -public intellectual- has been used to describe scholars who seek to share their re-search with the public, little work has been done to examine the role of a public intellectual in the field of education. 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...

Narrative Pedagogy; Life History and Learning
ISBN: 9781433108914 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is widely recognised that we are living through an age of the narrative . Many of the constituent disciplines in the social sciences resonate with this trend by using life history and narrative approaches and methods. As we move on from the modernist period which prioritised objectivity into the postmodern regard for subjectivity, this resort to narrative is likely to become more apparent and explicit in academic as well as social and commercial discourse.
One aspect of this narrative form which is commonly overlooked is that of the pedagogic encounter. This is the phenomenon which is... It is widely recognised that we are living through an age of the narrative . Many of the constituent disciplines in the social sciences resonate with ...

Playing for Change performing for money and for social justice introduces a critical pedagogy of arts-based community learning and development (A-CLD), a new discipline wherein artists learn to become educators, social workers, and community economic development agents. Challenging the assumption that acculturation into a ruling ideology of state development is necessary, this book presents a version of CLD that locates development in the production of subjectivities. The author argues that A-CLD is as concerned with the autonomous collective and the individual as it is with...

On the Pedagogy of Suffering: Hermeneutic and Buddhist Meditations
ISBN: 9781433125256 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This text articulates how and why suffering can be pedagogical in character and how it is often key to authentic and meaningful acts of teaching and learning. This is an ancient idea from the Greek tragedies of Aeschylus (c. 525 BCE) pathei mathos or -learning through suffering-. In our understandable rush to ameliorate suffering at every turn and to consider every instance of it as an error to be avoided at all costs, we explore how the pedagogy that can come from suffering becomes obscured and something vital to a rich and vibrant pedagogy can be lost. This collection threads through...

ISBN: 9780820481470 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Our educational system is in turmoil. Many would argue that it has been assaulted and oversimplified by the right. There is growing concern that we are becoming a liberal nation-state with an increasingly anti-liberal population and an electorate that is disinterested in politics. In this globalized world, the power of capital is so great that opposition to it is often discouraged and disheartened, leaving many citizens few political precepts by which to consider their institutions. This contemporary failure of vision has opened the way for the unimpeded return of the philosophy of the free...

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

ISBN: 9780820488769 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 141 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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."
