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 (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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.

On the Pedagogy of Suffering: Hermeneutic and Buddhist Meditations
ISBN: 9781433125249 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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...

Diversity and Multiculturalism: A Reader
ISBN: 9781433103469 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 485 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This reader demands that we understand diversity and multiculturalism by identifying the ways in which curriculum has been written and taught, and by redefining the field with an equitable lens, freeing it from the dominant cultural curriculum. The book problematizes the issue of whiteness, for instance, as not being the opposite of blackness or -person-of-colorness-, but rather a meta-description for our dominant culture. Issues are also addressed that are usually left out of the discussion about diversity and multiculturalism: this reader includes essays on physical diversity, geographic...

Critical Pedagogy: Where Are We Now?
ISBN: 9780820481470 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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...

Doing Critical Educational Research: A Conversation with the Research of John Smyth
ISBN: 9781433123184 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) John Smyth s remarkable body of writing, research and scholarship has spanned four decades, and the urgency of our times makes it imperative to look in some depth at the breadth of his research and its trajectory, in order to see how we can connect, extend, build and enrich our understandings from it. Possibly the single most unique aspect to Smyth s version of critical research is his passion for living and doing what it means to be a critical pedagogue. For him, doing is a verb that gives expression to what he believes it means to be a critical scholar. This necessitates actively listening...

From the perspective of a teacher preoccupied with the daily...

In response, this book proposes alternative ways of addressing these educational inequities, taking an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex historical, social, and global issues that stand in the way of ensuring that all students have access to literacy -...

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...

The authors analyze the -crisis- in U.S. urban education through visceral narratives of social control while resisting the tendency to make the United...
