Book Synopsis Information: The foundation of sustainable development by : Craig A. Schwabe
Download or read book Information: The foundation of sustainable development written by Craig A. Schwabe and published by HSRC Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable development can be defined as the improvement of economic efficiency, the protection and restoration of the environment and the enhancement of the social well-being of people (IISD, 1995). The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IIDS) further argues that sustainable development is an integrated process for decision-making that requires information for it to be accomplished. Inherent in the idea of sustainable development are aspects such as democratic values, community participation, international collaboration and strong leadership. A wide diversity of information is required to reflect an integrated approach to sustainable development. Agenda 21 is the foundational document of sustainable development and sets out a global action plan. The New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) similarly embraces the need for sustainable development and has formulated actions that have to be taken on the African continent. This paper proposes the development of an information framework for sustainable development in South Africa and discusses the country's ability to provide the information required to address actions stipulated in Agenda 21. As part of this framework, indicators needed to implement and monitor sustainable development are discussed and the inherent value of spatial information for the implementation of sustainable development is touched on.

Book Synopsis Cross-National Information and Communication Technology Policies and Practices in Education by : Tjeerd Plomp
Download or read book Cross-National Information and Communication Technology Policies and Practices in Education written by Tjeerd Plomp and published by IAP. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium of papers documents educational ICT policies and practices in 37 countries, making it a valuable resource for understanding and comparing ICT-related national policy developments in education. We believe that this work offers a unique in-depth examination of the trends within major education systems and how they have adapted to and taken advantage of the challenges and opportunities posed by the new information and communication technologies. A special feature of this edition is that it allows for interesting comparative analyses of sub-groups of countries, as many Asian, European Union, and former eastern-European countries, as well as the United States and Canada (among others), are included in the book. But it allows also for other than regional comparisons given that a number of newly industrialized countries (such as Brazil, Chile, Malaysia, and South Africa) are represented in this book, together with many OECD countries. This book is the result of the effort and hard work of the contributing authors, many of whom are the NRCs for IEA SITES in their respective countries. Special thanks must go to the Norwegian Royal Ministry of Education and Research and the Netherlands Kennisnet ICT OP School Foundation, both of which provided generous support for the preparation and dissemination of the book, to the Center for Information Technology in Education (CITE) of the University of Hong Kong, which assisted in the technical preparation of the manuscript, and to the IEA Secretariat, which facilitated the copyediting of the chapters. We want to acknowledge especially the professional contribution of Paula Wagemaker, who has copyedited the entire volume. This copyediting work is especially critical and challenging, as many of the chapters were written by authors for whom English is a foreign language. We also want to express our appreciation to David Robitaille, chair of the IEA Publications and Editorial Committee, and his committee for the critical and constructive review of the manuscript.
Book Synopsis The Appropriation of Education Policy on Information and Communication Technology in South African Schools by : Thirusellvan Vandeyar
Download or read book The Appropriation of Education Policy on Information and Communication Technology in South African Schools written by Thirusellvan Vandeyar and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to explore how education policy on information and communication technology (ICT) influences teaching and learning in South African schools. An instrumental case study applying backward mapping principles as a strategy of inquiry was used. Utilizing a social constructivist lens and guided by a theoretical framework of a socio-cultural approach to policy analysis, this exploratory qualitative research study set out to investigate how teachers in South African schools appropriate education policy on ICT. The case study included three schools from diverse socio-cultural settings, with two participating teachers at each of the identified research sites. The principal at each school and e-learning specialists (officials) at the District and Provincial Departments of Education constituted additional data sources. Data collection methods included interviews, classroom observations, field notes and document analysis. Constructivist grounded theory methods and computer assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS)were employed in the analysis of data. It was found that, teachers' professionalism and agency are crucial in formulating and implementing a school-based e-education policy in practice. The national e-education policy currently exists as an invisible policy within the school context. Secondly, teachers reposition themselves as social and cultural actors of school-based policy appropriation and formulation rather than as recipients of, or reactors to the national e-Education policy. Thirdly, the lack of systemic support to teachers acted as the catalyst for the emergence of communities of practice between schools. The notion of our system as opposed to an imposed system prevails. Fourthly, teachers' ignorance of the national e-Education policy indicates the need for policy development and implementation at school level and denotes a new construct to policy appropriation. I theorise that teachers' beliefs, attitudes, professionalism and will to improve teaching and learning through the use of ICT are integral and necessary conditions for effective policy implementation.
