Qualitative Research; A Reader in Philosophy, Core Concepts, and Practice
ISBN: 9781433104725 / Angielski / Miękka / 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.

Using Standards and High-Stakes Testing for Students; Exploiting Power with Critical Pedagogy
ISBN: 9781433115554 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book has received the AESA (American Educational Studies Association) Critics Choice Award 2012.
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...

It has also opened paths for politically productive and transformative forms of localized resistance(s). This book examines the perilous catastrophe before us, and the possibility that we can reclaim our rights as citizens and redefine democracy as a process for global good rather than a euphemism for our collective enslavement to global markets, which annihilate our souls. The authors analyze the -crisis- in U.S. urban education through visceral narratives of social control while resisting the tendency to make the United...

Ideologies in Education: Unmasking the Trap of Teacher Neutrality powerfully exposes the invisible yet pervasive nature of oppressive dominant ideologies, the urgent need to articulate their existence, and the harmful impact they have on education. The solutions to many of the educational challenges facing subordinated students are not purely technical or methodological in nature, but are instead rooted in commonly unacknowledged discriminatory ideologies and practices. The invisible foundation (hegemonic ideologies that inform our perceptions and treatment of subordinated students)...

Narrative Pedagogy; Life History and Learning
ISBN: 9781433108914 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 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 ...

ISBN: 9781433120022 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 191 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The impact that First Person Shooter video games have had on the evolution of youth culture over a decade or more has been the focus of attention from political leaders; medical and legal specialists; and the mass media. Much of the discussion concerning these games has focused on the issues of the violence that is depicted in the games and on the perceived psychological and social costs for individuals and society. What is not widely canvassed in the public debate generated by violent video games is the role that military-themed games play in the wider process of militarization. The...

ISBN: 9781433108730 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The second revised edition of The Hollywood Curriculum analyzes over 165 films distributed throughout the United States over the last 80 years to construct a theory of curriculum in the movies that is grounded in cultural studies and critical pedagogy. The portrayal of teachers in popular movies focuses on individual effort rather than collective action, and relies on stock characters and predictable plots, precluding meaningful struggle. Conformation to these conventions ensures the ultimate outcome of the screen narratives and almost always leaves the educational institution - which...

Transforming Undergraduate Science Teaching: Social Constructivist Perspectives
ISBN: 9780820452937 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. 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...

The possibilities that online platforms and new media technologies provide, in terms of human connection and the dissemination of information, are seemingly endless.
