Book Synopsis Abdication of the Sovereign Self by : Andrew Spano
Download or read book Abdication of the Sovereign Self written by Andrew Spano and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language and logic are inextricably commingled in our everyday speech. What we say, particularly in the form of statements, tends not only to mirror our world, but mold it into our own image. This book looks at how much of our verbal communication can be considered “valid” from the point of view of the rules of logic. Are we saying what we mean to say? Is what we hear from the media, our peers, our leaders, and those who determine the narrative “story” of our lives meaningful, rational, and logical? Even more important than the answers to these questions is the answer to whether we are the governors and rulers of our own lives. Have we abdicated this sovereign rule to forces that may not have our best interests and wellbeing in mind? Using works of Continental and analytic philosophy ancient and modern, psychology, linguistics, religion, and literature, this book supports the thesis that we have surrendered the only thing we could ever possibly own – ourselves – for unprecedented access to consumer goods, credit, and the hope for medical immortality. Further, the argument is made that the prevailing discourse of global modern culture consists of statements which are invalid because their inner semantic structure is inherently contradictory. The argument is aimed at those who want to learn more about what makes our everyday discourse and thinking rational or irrational. At the same time, it indicts the individual of the modern industrialized state for the crime of the voluntary abdication of his sovereignty and for forcing others who have little control over their lives to do the same. This book is a call for introspection in the hope that the reader will see something of the situation described reflected not only in himself, but in the society he inhabits.
Book Synopsis Middle-class School Choice in Urban Spaces by : Emma Rowe
Download or read book Middle-class School Choice in Urban Spaces written by Emma Rowe and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Middle-class School Choice in Urban Spaces examines government-funded public schools from a range of perspectives and scholarship in order to examine the historical, political and economic conditions of public schooling within a globalized, post-welfare context. In this book, Rowe argues that post-welfare policy conditions are detrimental to government-funded public schools, as they engender consistent pressure in rearticulating the public school in alignment with the market, produce tensions in serving the more historical conceptualizations of public schooling, and are preoccupied by contemporary profit-driven concerns. Chapters focus on public schooling from different global perspectives, with examples from Chile and the US, to examine how various social movements encapsulate ideologies around public schooling. Rowe also draws upon a rich, five-year ethnographic study of campaigns lobbying the Victorian State Government in Australia for a brand-new, local-specific public school. Critical attention is paid to the public school as a means to achieve empowerment and overcome discrimination, and both a local and global lens are used to identify how parents choose the public school, the values they attach to it, and the strategies they use to obtain it. Also considered, however, are how quality gaps, distances and differences between public schools threaten to undermine the democracy of education as a means for individuals to be socially mobile and escape poverty. This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of global social movements and activism around public education. As such, it will be of key interest to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the field of education, specifically those working on school choice, class and identity, as well as educational geography.

Book Synopsis No Child Left Behind and the Reduction of the Achievement Gap by : Alan R. Sadovnik
Download or read book No Child Left Behind and the Reduction of the Achievement Gap written by Alan R. Sadovnik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monumental collection presents the first-ever sociological analysis of the No Child Left Behind Act and its effects on children, teachers, parents, and schools. More importantly, these leading sociologists consider whether NLCB can or will accomplish its major goal: to eliminate the achievement gap by 2014. Based on theoretical and empirical research, the essays examine the history of federal educational policy and place NCLB in a larger sociological and historical context. Taking up a number of policy areas affected by the law—including accountability and assessment, curriculum and instruction, teacher quality, parental involvement, school choice and urban education—this book examines the effects of NCLB on different groups of students and schools and the ways in which school organization and structure affect achievement. No Child Left Behind concludes with a discussion of the important contributions of sociological research and sociological analysis integral to understanding the limits and possibilities of the law to reduce the achievement gap.

Book Synopsis The Finnish Education Mystery by : Hannu Simola
Download or read book The Finnish Education Mystery written by Hannu Simola and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finnish education has been a focus of global interest since its first PISA success in 2001. After years of superficial celebration, astonishment and educational tourism, the focus has recently shifted to what is possibly the most interesting element of this Finnish success story: that Finnish schools have been effectively applying methods that go against the flow of global education policy with no testing, no inspection, no hard evaluation, no detailed national curriculum, no accountability and no hard competition. From a historical and sociological perspective the Finnish case is not merely a linear success story, but is part of a controversial and paradoxical struggle towards Utopia: towards egalitarian schooling. Bringing together a collection of essays by Hannu Simola and his colleagues, this book analyses the key dimensions of schooling in Finland to provide a critical, analytical and uncompromising picture of the Finnish education system. Going beyond the story of success, the book reveals the complexities of educational change, but also identifies opportunities and alternatives for smart political action in complex and trans-national societies. Including a selection of key chapters on Finnish education policy and governance, teacher education and classroom cultures, the book will be of interest to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in comparative education, teacher education, educational policy and educational reform.
Book Synopsis Education Reform and the Concept of Good Teaching by : Derek Gottlieb
Download or read book Education Reform and the Concept of Good Teaching written by Derek Gottlieb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to address the problems confronting the American education system, the Obama administration has issued structural and systematic reforms such as Race to the Top. These initiatives introduce new statistics and accountability systems to gauge what constitutes "good" teaching, both from an administrative standpoint and the perspective of teacher training programs. This volume offers a direct critique of this approach, concluding that it does not respond adequately to the issues of education reform but rather raises new problems and actively stymies progress. The author argues that at the heart of the confusion lies a misguided and rationalistic view of teaching and learning. He draws on the philosophical strategies of Ludwig Wittgenstein to break down the guiding assumptions of Race to the Top, allowing both the positive and the negative aspects of the policies to be heard. The author then proposes a different view of teaching and learning which considers how to effectively address the problems Race to the Top seeks to confront.

Book Synopsis Schools, Parents and Governors by : Joan Sallis
Download or read book Schools, Parents and Governors written by Joan Sallis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, this book was an up to the minute account of the way in which recent government initiatives, including the 1986 Act, would affect accountability and the quest for greater partnership between schools and parents. It pinpoints the central issues of the current debates at the time in a lucid and highly readable way, asking how public commitment to education can be created and sustained, how minimum standards can be reconciled with local variety and freedom, how choice for parents can be reconciled with equal opportunity for children, how less confident and articulate parents can become involved and how a sense of common purpose can be fostered among the confident minority. The book provided an up-to-date assessment of progress in parental involvement; an account of the recent movement here and overseas; and a detailed working guide to the development of school government under the 1986 Act and beyond. While providing an important critique of the consumerist approach to education, the author argues the case, illustrated with practical examples, for a new approach emphasising partnership, mutual accountability, better communication, more open habits be LEAs and more democratic practices within schools, involving staff, governors and parents.

Book Synopsis Competency-based Education by : Richard W. Burns
Download or read book Competency-based Education written by Richard W. Burns and published by Educational Technology. This book was released on 1973 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Performance-based, or competency-based education (CBE) is a concept for teaching which applies to all learning levels, as presented in a collection of papers written by educators who support its theory, implications, and practical application. CBE evolved from a philosophy of education that specifies behavioral objectives for which criterion levels of performance, or competency, are defined; an instructional plan aims the learner toward achieving these minimum expectancies. CBE and traditional educational systems are compared from a psychological viewpoint. Topics explored in this sourcebook for the CBE program include empathy-competence, affective behaviors, instructional techniques, curriculum design, achievement testing, and teacher certification. The special issues of communications technology, the open classroom, and urban children examine the implementation of competency-based learning in the schools. An annotated bibliography reviews research efforts in performance-based teacher education.
