Book Synopsis Political Pressures on Educational and Social Research by : Karen Trimmer
Download or read book Political Pressures on Educational and Social Research written by Karen Trimmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political Pressures on Educational and Social Research draws upon a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to consider the problems that can arise when research findings diverge from political directions for policy. Chapters explore the impacts this can have on the researchers, as well as the influence it has on the research, including the methodology and the publication of results. The book offers innovative ways of seeing how these connect, overlap and interact, revealing particular issues of concern for researchers and evaluators in the context of research internationally. Key topics include the power and positioning of research, evidence based policy development, ethics and the importance of research that seeks to explore and discover knowledge. The book is divided into two sections. The first presents chapters from international academics, which provide a theoretical underpinning and discussion of power, policy, ethics and their influence on research resourcing, autonomy, purpose and methodology. The second section explores specific case studies and instances from the authors’ own experiences in the field. This book offers an interesting and enlightening insight into the sometimes political nature of research and will appeal to researchers, evaluators and postgraduate students in the fields of education and the social sciences. It will be of particular interest to those studying research methods.

Book Synopsis Teaching in Alternative and Flexible Education Settings by : Aspa Baroutsis
Download or read book Teaching in Alternative and Flexible Education Settings written by Aspa Baroutsis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-18 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternative and flexible education settings may come in different forms, but they generally have in common a focus on young people who have been disengaged from conventional schooling. One challenge of these settings, therefore, is to change the way education is offered in order to better engage these students. Much of the onus for this changed approach is on the staff: teachers, youth workers and other support staff. Therefore, the purpose of this book is to examine different aspects of the work of staff in these settings. Several common threads run through the chapters in this book, highlighting core aspects of the work of staff in these settings: • A strong sense of commitment to working with and for young people from marginalised backgrounds. • Validation of the relational and emotional nature of education, as a fundamentally people-centred enterprise. • The importance of explicit attention to critical reflection on staff members’ own positionality, assumptions and identity. • Collegiality as a crucially affirming part of school culture for staff. These elements are pertinent to educational settings everywhere. The chapters in this book serve as a reminder of what really ‘counts’ for our young people and their schooling. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Teaching Education.
Book Synopsis Successful Teacher Education: Partnerships, Reflective Practice and the Place of Technology by : Mellita Jones
Download or read book Successful Teacher Education: Partnerships, Reflective Practice and the Place of Technology written by Mellita Jones and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents distinctive, innovative models of teacher education from Australia, discusses their successful elements and considers possibilities for successful teacher education in the twenty-first century. Each model is couched within the international teacher education concerns of the theory practice nexus, school-university partnerships, reflective practice, and the role of technology. The contributing authors, drawn from different contexts and locations around Australia, each offers research-based perspectives on successful teacher education. Responses to teacher education challenges in rural and regional contexts, metropolitan areas, among low socio-economic populations and Indigenous communities are considered. Ways in which technology, and in particular mobile technology, can be used to support learning across these diverse contexts are illustrated, as is the role of reflective practice to encourage critical reflection for improving teacher learning. Collectively, the authors present a range of directions that can guide the future of teacher education both nationally and internationally, demonstrating that context, partnerships, reflection and technology are critical elements in the provision of successful teacher education.

Book Synopsis Shaping School Success by : Ian Hardy
Download or read book Shaping School Success written by Ian Hardy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-06 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a unique primer for school professionals, educators and policymakers to develop a solid understanding of the domains essential to cultivating and sustaining successful schools. It also provides essential reading for policymakers and researchers interested in these issues more broadly. In response to various sensationalist discourses around schooling that dominate both mainstream and social media, the authors draw upon both long-standing and up-to-date research from around the world to present a more accurate, holistic, and optimistic approach. The book identifies the key domains that are necessary to address concerns in equity, leadership and teaching for enhanced student learning and wellbeing. Specifically, these domains relate to: (1) system-wide approaches to enhance school performance; (2) building teacher capability for student learning; (3) educational leadership as a vehicle for leading learning; and (4) building community ‘infrastructures’ for equitable, place-based learning. The book can be used in several ways: each chapter can be read as a stand-alone overview of key areas for school improvement. The broad topics are important jigsaw puzzle pieces that are necessary to ‘see the whole picture’ of a successful school/system. Each chapter includes ‘Key messages’ and ‘Ways forward’ and closes with extension questions to further guide thinking through the ‘big ideas’ presented in each chapter and how they are relevant to different schooling and policy contexts. Grounded in research into productive and proactive system and school practices from around the world, this book ensures professional educators are equipped with the latest research and practice, without being overwhelmed by the detail.

Book Synopsis Education Reform: The Unwinding of Intelligence and Creativity by : Des Griffin
Download or read book Education Reform: The Unwinding of Intelligence and Creativity written by Des Griffin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pays special attention to the impact that a student's early childhood and socioeconomic status has on his or her educational achievement. It argues that discussions of education reform need a broader scope, one that encompasses a student's background as well as standardized testing, merit pay for teachers, and other issues regarding the quality of the teaching and learning. Education Reform: the Unwinding of Intelligence and Creativity features cases and examples from schools in Australia, the USA, and Britain. It offers a breadth of coverage, from early childhood to effective teaching and learning to teacher pay and conditions, standardized testing and public and private (independent) schooling and universities as well as creativity. It also includes summaries of educational policies in many developed countries. Reforms which emphasize concern for early childhood, school leadership and respect for teachers are contrasted with ones based on standardized tests, private schools and sacking bad teachers.
