Book Synopsis Flip the System Australia by : Deborah M. Netolicky
Download or read book Flip the System Australia written by Deborah M. Netolicky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book by educators, for educators. It grapples with the complexities, the humanity and the possibilities in education. In a climate of competing accountabilities and measurement mechanisms; corporate solutions to education ‘problems’; and narratives of ‘failing’ schools, ‘underperforming’ teachers and ‘disengaged’ students; this book asks ‘What matters?’ or ‘What should matter?’ in education. Based in the unique Australian context, this book situates Australian education policy, research and practice within the international education narrative. It argues that professionals within schools should be supported, empowered and welcomed into policy discourse, not dictated to by top-down bureaucracy. It advocates for a flipping, flattening and democratising of the education system, in Australia and around the world. Flip the System Australia: What matters in education brings together the voices of teachers, school leaders and scholars in order to offer diverse perspectives, important challenges and hopeful alternatives to the current education system.
Download or read book Flip the System written by Jelmer Evers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is threatened on a global scale by forces of neoliberalism, through high stakes accountability, privatization and a destructive language of learning. In all respects, a GERM (Global Education Reform Movement) has erupted from international benchmark rankings such as PISA, TIMMS and PIRL, causing inequity, narrowing of the curriculum and teacher deprofessionalization on a truly global scale. In this book, teachers from around the world and other educational experts such as Andy Hargreaves, Ann Lieberman, Stephen Ball, Gert Biesta, Tom Bennett and many more, make the case to move away from this uneducational economic approach, to instead embrace a more humane, more democratic approach to education. This approach is called ‘flipping the system’, a move that places teachers exactly where they need to be - at the steering wheel of educational systems worldwide. This book will appeal to teachers and other education professionals around the world.
Book Synopsis Issues in Social Education by : Barry J. Fraser
Download or read book Issues in Social Education written by Barry J. Fraser and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of four articles on issues in social education in Australia begins with "Global and Nationalistic Education in International Perspective" (J. L. Nelson). The article discusses the nationalistic viewpoint of citizenship education, its place in the social sciences, the role of history instruction, and the divergent view of global education taught through world history, comparative studies, international relations, and foreign policy studies. The second article, "National Initiatives in Social Education in Australia" (K. J. Kennedy) presents some current education initiatives of the Curriculum Development Centre (Australia) and the future of social education in the Australian curriculum. The 1984 Beazley recommendations for social education curriculum planners is the focus of "Implications of the Beazley Report for Social Education in Western Australia" (B. Wells), and the article reports that the recommendations indirectly upgrade social education programs in schools. The fourth article, "Critical Issues in Moral Values Education" (R. A. Wilkins) discusses the problem of teaching moral values and selecting which values to include, L. Kohlberg's cognitive developmental approach, and seven guidelines for curriculum development. (DJC)

Download or read book Civics and Citizenship Education in Australia written by Andrew Peterson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civics and Citizenship Education in Australia provides a comprehensive analysis of teaching and learning in this field in Australian schools, drawing on case study material to demonstrate the current practice in the field. Reflecting on the issues and possibilities raised by the inclusion of civics and citizenship education in the new national Australian curriculum, leading national and international scholars analyse the subject's theoretical, curricular and pedagogical bases and approaches. Placing civics and citizenship education within historical and contemporary contexts, the book critically explores a range of issues concerning the development, organisation and teaching of the subject. These include how the subject might include indigenous, global and Asian perspectives, and how it may help students to engage with issues around sustainability, active citizenship, diversity, religion and values. The final chapters written by scholars from England, the USA, Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore adopt a comparative approach situating Australian civics and citizenship education in the wider international context.

Book Synopsis Making the Difference by : Dean Ashenden
Download or read book Making the Difference written by Dean Ashenden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, Making the Difference has become a classic in the study of education and of Australian society. Hailed on publication as 'certainly the most interesting book written about Australian schools in a very long time [and] arguably the most important', it has since been recognised as one of the 10 most influential works of Australian sociology, 'not just a major argument, and a 'classic' point of reference, [but] an event, an intervention in ways of doing research and speaking to practice, a methodology, a textual style. it was designed to be read by a much wider audience than the standard sociological text, and it has succeeded'. Making the Difference draws on a detailed study of the schools and homes of the powerful and the wealthy, and of ordinary wage-earners. It allows children, parents and teachers to speak for themselves and from what they say it develops strikingly new ways of understanding 'educational inequality', of how the class and gender systems work, and of schools and their social roles. 'Equality of opportunity', co-education, and 'relevant and meaningful curriculum' are all questioned, sympathetically but incisively. Ranging across educational policy from system level to the everyday experience of kids and teachers, from the problems of schooling to the production of class and gender relations, this path-breaking combination of theory, research and politics remains engaging, thought-provoking, and relevant.

Book Synopsis Professional Social Work in Australia by : R.J. Lawrence
Download or read book Professional Social Work in Australia written by R.J. Lawrence and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an unchanged republication of the first historical account of the social work profession in Australia. It traces the development of social work education and professional social work in the larger, more industrialised societies overseas before the same developments began in Australia in the late 1920s, and it notes the part played by overseas influence in the subsequent 30-odd years. The book concentrates on the development of training bodies and their courses, the spread of qualified social workers into various fields of employment in Australia’s expanding health and welfare services, and the growth of professional associations and their programmes. The author assesses the occupational group in terms of accepted attitudes towards the established professions. He concludes with a discussion of major contemporary issues facing the Australian social work profession.
