Taylor & Francis Ltd Professional Education 1983
Book SynopsisPublished in 1983. The concept of education has generally been assumed to relate to childhood and it is only with more recent developments in the field of adult learning that it has been recognised that education can take place at any stage in life.One of the main intentions of this book is to examine the concept of education from the perspective of the education of people in a wide variety of professions. It is suggested that education be defined as any planned series of incidents, having a humanistic basis directed towards the participants' learning and understanding. The aims, curricula and methods of appraisal of professional education in the light of this definition are then considered. Although dealing with professional forms of learning for the most part, this book should be of interest to all educators, trainers and administrators responsible for the implementation of educational policies and programmes in higher, further and continuing education.Table of Contents1. The Changing Concept of Education: Theory and Practice. 2. The Professions. 3. The Aims of Professional Education. 4. Criteria for the Selection of Curriculum Content in Professional Education. 5. Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes. 6. Educational Processes. 7. Appraisal in Professional Education. 8. Teachers and Teaching in the Education of Professionals. 9. Confronting some Ethical Issues.

It can be used as a powerful reference book and is full of current thinking, research, policy and practice ... [A] real insight into the world of further education. * inTuition (of the previous edition) *Reflective Teaching in Further, Adult and Vocational Education offers critical insight into the practice of value led teaching in these sectors. It provides a very readable and comprehensive overview of the challenges and dilemmas practitioners encounter working in varied and diverse contexts with adult learners. It skillfully presents the contemporary political context of FAVE and offers strategies to support meaningful and successful learning outcomes in this challenging environment. As the title suggests practice embedded in critically reflective processes is explored carefully and in depth. This text is essential reading for both new and experienced adult learning practitioners. * Ann Swinney, Senior Lecturer, School of Education and Social Work, University of Dundee, UK *This book makes two important contributions to the FAVE sector. First, it shows how values of social justice and personal empowerment impact learning and success. Second, it shows how professionalization of the field depends on clear vision, critical refection on practice, and passion to create equitable pedagogical and curricular changes. * Rosalind Latiner Raby, Senior Lecturer, Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, California State University, Northridge, USA *Mandatory reading for anyone who wishes to understand the FAVE sector or improve on their teaching practice. It highlights the importance of the sector and its often undervalued contribution to an ever changing society. The authors have produced a book that reminds us of the crucial role FAVE plays in addressing social justice and the underpinning importance it plays in everything that teachers do in learning and teaching. It offers a comprehensive guide into the daily issues faced by those working in the sector and offers excellent advice for those new to FAVE as well as for those who have already established their career. The authors have produced a book that provides insight into the importance of being a reflective practitioner as well as offering advice to help achieve it. These authors have “walked the walk” in education and as a result the ideas contained within are contextualised, ensuring a book that is engaging and accessible to everyone. * Colin Ross, Curriculum Manager, Education & Social Science, Ayrshire College, UK *Whether a new or existing FAVE teacher, this book will provoke you and challenge you to critically reflect on your understanding of what constitutes effective learning and teaching. It will also prompt you to critically reflect on and assess the impact your practice and interactions with your students. Its case studies, reflective activities, key readings and web content, are designed to help you engage critically with research, informing and refining the impact of your practice. A great resource that will encourage you to question, challenge and extend your thinking, individually and with colleagues. * Sandra-Jane Grier, Lead Curriculum and Teaching, College Development Network, UK *This is a treasure trove of useful insights, well-founded recommendations, and wise prompts for reflection exercises. A much needed handbook that will without a doubt contribute to increasing the quality of Adult Learning provision. The European Basic Skills Network, EBSN, is looking forward to including it as one of the resources in our future teacher courses. * Graciela Sbertoli, Secretary General, The European Basic Skills Network, Norway *Brookfield (1995) famously said that, “we teach to change the world” (p.1). In line with this aim, Reflective Teaching in Further, Adult and Vocational Education encourages and equips post-compulsory education teachers to develop their practice through reflection so they, in turn, can help students become better versions of themselves. The book also clearly and thoroughly explains the learning theories and models, and educational policies that influence day-to-day pedagogy, making it essential reading for new and more experienced teachers alike. * Suzanne Lynch, Lecturer in Hospitality and Tourism Department, City of Glasgow College, Scotland *With the publication of the Centenary Committee Report on Adult Education, the launching of the new Professional Standards in Scotland and the Independent Commission on the College of the future expected to report in June 2020, there can be no better time for a the new edition of Reflective Teaching in Further, Adult and Vocational Education.

Peter Lang Publishing Inc Sisters of Hope Looking Back Stepping Forward
Book SynopsisThis book documents the critiques and theorizings that working-class African-American women have drawn from their educational experiences. Based on a study of five African-American females enrolled in an employer-sponsored workplace speech and language training program, the book presents lessons learned from participants' efforts to negotiate effects of race, class, and gender discrimination both in and out of school. Particularly relevant to the field of education, participants provide insight on the roles of teachers and schools, instruction, expectations, motivation, race and education, educational experiences at work, and relevant education to inform and help effect change. Because of its interdisciplinarity, Sisters of Hope, Looking Back, Stepping Forward is an asset for a variety of courses that seek to be inclusive of the educational experiences and theorizings of marginalized groups. Its insights on race, class, gender, marginalization, and inequality are relevantTrade Review«Audrey P. Watkins expands the idea that curriculum is embodied in lived experience in and out of school. She weaves her own life curricula with that of other African-American women in workplaces, families, homes, churches, and schools to help individuals reflect on their past, act upon their present, and imagine their future as they compose their lives filled with hopes, dreams, and possibilities.» (William H. Schubert, Professor and University Scholar, University of Illinois at Chicago) «Audrey P. Watkins has done a superb job of connecting her own rich and resilient history to those of the African-American women whom she interviewed. The insights that the author and interviewees provide on topics such as education, family values, religion, the workforce, race relations, and societal inequities will be beneficial to parents, educators, policymakers, and anyone else who is interested in learning valuable lessons from the ‘school of life.’» (Gail L.

Book SynopsisThe fusion of critical pedagogy, holistic (moral) education, and disability studies continues to be uncharted waters and, in some academic venues, a hotly contested topic. A discourse advocating for a liberating pedagogy for the disabled is still absent. Based on critical and moral pedagogy, The Moral Debate on Special Education is the self-narrative of a disabled special education teacher who is searching for the answers and spaces where this dialogue and narrative can take place. What started as mere research for social justice in education has morphed, unintentionally, into the moral quest for justice and equality in special education. Celebrating the legacy of Paulo Freire, Joe L. Kincheloe, Shirley Steinberg, David Purpel, Peter McLaren, Cameron White, Michael Connelly, Jean Clandinin, and other contemporaries, Bernardo E. Pohl, Jr. delves into the tensions, promises, and challenges of special education from the unique perspective of a disabled educator.Trade Review«[Pohl’s book] is a passionate plea to reconsider how we think about and respond to disability within public education.» (Jan Valle, Teachers College Record, February 2015)«[Pohl’s book] is a passionate plea to reconsider how we think about and respond to disability within public education.» (Jan Valle, Teachers College Record, February 2015)Table of ContentsContents: The Moral Debate – A Note On My Journey – When Schools Don’t Work – The Social Educator – The Search For The Poetic Teacher – Caring For The Whole Child – The Search For The Full-Lived Curriculum – My Microscopic View – Pedagogy Of Affection – Obstacles To Consciousness – Conscientization Of The Disabled – Pedagogy Of The Disabled – My Inquiry – Social Voices – My Narrative – My Narrative – Subject Matter And Milieu – The Field With The Mango Trees – The Disabled In Me – The Early Days – Jobless For The Second Time – Full-Time Teaching – The Moral And Spiritual Reflection – Final Reflection.

Peter Lang Publishing Inc Higher Education and Society
Book SynopsisHigher education and society are becoming increasingly intertwined. Both act as a transmitter of culture, yet many colleges and universities also ideally seek to create a more perfectible society and more enlightened, engaged citizens. When the connections between social structures and post-secondary education are closely entangled, the university's aims can take on a contentious struggle for identity in a vexing web of competing external interests especially in light of scarce economic resources, corporate pressures, technological questions, and globalizing trends. Higher Education and Society weighs the urgent question of how society and higher education influence each other. How the latter responds to that unsettled issue may well determine whether colleges and universities chart a more self-reflective path or one of rising deference to societal contingencies. This book is essential for all those who study and work in today's colleges and for all those who seek a better eduTrade Review«As colleges and universities ratchet up their corporate enterprises, we must ask what kind of impact their changing foci are having. How have they been influenced by the changes around them and, in turn, how have they dealt with those changes? DeVitis and Sasso have brought together a compelling collection of essays that push us to answer these questions.» (Marybeth Gasman, Professor of Higher Education and Director, Center for Minority Serving Institutions, University of Pennsylvania) «Higher education has often been discussed in such terms as ‘isolation,’ ‘ivory tower,’ and ‘silo.’ What may have been a common description, or criticism, is no longer accurate. What college students have referred to as the ‘real world’ has influenced higher education in complicated ways with complicated consequences. Higher education’s role in its transformation, and its influence on the ‘real world,’ is indeed messy. DeVitis and Sasso’s volume turns a critical gaze on this messy relationship.» (Stephanie J.
