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...

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...

Educational Yearning: The Journey of the Spirit and Democratic Education
ISBN: 9780820434865 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. What room is there for a language of spirituality and the spirit in democratic forms of education? This is the question posed in this collection of essays by a broad range of scholars working in education. Beginning with the premise that postmodernism is associated with a re-spiritualization of culture, the authors seek to explore ways in which this re-spiritualization can be pushed in democratic rather than rightist or fundamentalist directions. What they celebrate is diversity of progressive traditions and discourses of spirituality that educators and other cultural workers can draw upon to...

Reconstructing School Mathematics: Problems with Problems and the Real World
ISBN: 9780820451039 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book offers a critique of two major themes of the modern reform movement in mathematics education: problem solving and the applications of mathematics to the -real world-. In examining the educational fallacy inherent in the impulse to move unflinchingly from -problem- to -problem solving-, Stephen I. Brown demonstrates the potential of mathematical reflection to reveal aspects of self and society that have been suppressed in curriculum. He then argues that in seeking connections between mathematics and the -real world-, we have tended to reduce their relationship to one of modeling....

ISBN: 9781433117930 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The possibilities that online platforms and new media technologies provide, in terms of human connection and the dissemination of information, are seemingly endless. With Web 2.0 there is an exchange of messages, visions, facts, fictions, contemplations, and declarations buzzing around a network of computers that connects students to the world fast. Theoretically this digital connectivity, and the availability of information that it provides, is beneficial to curriculum development in higher education. Education is easily available, democratic, and immersive. But is it worthwhile? Is the kind...

The End of Reading: From Gutenberg to Grand Theft Auto
ISBN: 9781433110160 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Big changes have been taking place in reading in recent years. While American society has become more visual and digital, the general state of literacy in America is in crisis, with educators and public officials worried about falling educational standards, the rising influence of popular culture, and growing numbers of non-English-speaking immigrants. But how justified are these worries? By focusing on -reading-, this book takes a serious look at public literacy, but chooses not to blame the familiar scapegoats. Instead, The End of Reading proposes that in a diverse and rapidly...

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...

Becoming a Teacher; Using Narrative as Reflective Practice. A Cross-Disciplinary Approach
ISBN: 9781433113307 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Becoming a Teacher revisits the concept of Teacher Lore (Schubert and Ayers, 1992), by providing a cross-disciplinary approach linking elements of narrative theory to all aspects of pre- and in-service teaching. In essence, it embraces the notion that what teachers say matters. The rationale behind this text is the idea that narrative can not only be a conceptual lens through which a particular discipline can be re-examined, but also an aid to help preservice teachers understand the potential importance of personal experience and reflective ways of knowing as they learn to become...

In the pedagogical landscape of early childhood, physical movement is central to the holistic development of young children. Yet, movement-related experiences and other bodily activities such as play and dance often present contradictions and conundrums for early childhood educators. As a mode of learning, movement has endured a questionable existence despite the evidence of supportive research and theory, which provides sound reasons for the inclusion of movement in early years curricula. Movement and Dance in Young Children s Lives looks at the place of movement in young children s...
