Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Kulturenorientierte Bildung: Grundlagen für den
Book SynopsisIna Baumann untersucht Herausforderungen kultureller Diversität und wie Schulen darauf eingehen sollten, um den Lernenden eine möglichst barrierefreie Gemeinschaft und eine angemessene interkulturelle Bildung zu bieten. Ihr differenzierter Kulturbegriff ermöglicht einen klaren Blick auf affektive, kognitive und handlungsbezogene Stolpersteine der Interkulturalität und wie diese die Kommunikation beeinflussen können. Auf der Basis einer Auseinandersetzung mit den wesentlichen Konzepten wie Kompetenz und Bildung zeigt sie, dass im Kontext der Inklusions- und Diversitätsdiskurse die Begriffe Kultur und Interkulturalität bzw. interkulturelle Kompetenz noch von zentraler pädagogischer Bedeutung sind. Darauf aufbauend entwickelt sie ein Konzept der Kulturenorientierung und macht Vorschläge zu einem in den Gesamtkontext von Schulentwicklung und insbesondere Unterrichtsentwicklung eingebundenen, durchgängigen Rahmencurriculum der kulturenorientierten Bildung und Erziehung.Table of ContentsZum Stand des Umgangs mit kultureller Vielfalt an der Schule.- Erste theoretische Grundlegung: Kultur.- Zweite theoretische Grundlegung: Interkulturalität.- Kulturenorientierung schulischer Bildung und Erziehung.

Transcript Verlag Global Curriculum Development: How to Redesign
Book SynopsisHow can higher education empower students as agents of the social transformations that our societies need so urgently? Linn Friedrichs connects John Dewey's education theory, current research on globalization, and inclusive curriculum design approaches to propose a new educational model for our age of complexity, crisis, and innovation. Drawing lessons from NYU's efforts to globalize its research, pedagogy, and social impact, she presents building blocks for a new curricular core that is structured around the key challenges of our time and the competencies of "complexity resilience". It becomes the essential foundation for action-oriented partnerships across cultural, disciplinary, generational, and institutional boundaries.Table of ContentsIntroduction; John Dewey's Theory of Education and the Pragmatist Method; The Ecology of Education; The Case of New York University; Reimagining a New Core for U.S. Undergraduate Education; Conclusion; Works Cited.

V&R unipress GmbH Narrating and Teaching the Nation: The Politics
Book SynopsisThe book investigates the politics of education in pre- and post-genocide Rwanda, examining the actors, interests, and discourses that have historically influenced educational policy and practice and in particular the production and revision of history curricula and textbooks. This study combines a systematic historical and comparative analysis of curricula and textbooks in Rwanda, stakeholder interviews, classroom observations, and a large-scale investigation of pupils understandings of the countrys history. Written at a crucial time of transition in Rwanda, it illuminates the role of education as a powerful means of socialisation through which dominant discourses and related belief systems have been transmitted to the younger generations, thus moulding the nation. It outlines emergent challenges and possibilities, urging a move away from the use of history teaching to disseminate a conveniently selective official history towards practices that promote critical thinking and reflect the heterogeneity characteristic of Rwandas post-genocide society.

Brill Enhancing the Value of Teacher Education
Book SynopsisThis book invites us to critically reflect on the value of research in, on and for teacher education. It explores the nature and role of teacher education research and identifies ways to enhance its value for policy and practice. It gathers together studies that deploy a wide range of methodologies, including small-scale practitioner-focused research and large-scale empirical studies, considering the value of both approaches for the development of teacher education research that is meaningful for practice, but also valid and relevant for policy. The studies collected in this book were undertaken in different countries and put forward powerful messages for teacher education research in the 21st century. The ultimate objective is to contribute to the generation of a knowledge base for teacher education, identifying strategies and acknowledging challenges. The various arguments presented here can be utilised by teacher education policymakers, practitioners and researchers wishing to enhance the role of teacher education research in their own countries and contexts.

Rupa Publications India Pvt Ltd. DON’T FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS!: Everything wrong
Book SynopsisCivilization is a race between education and catastrophe. H.G. Wells This is an unsparing dissection of the current education system by someone who has managed to wade through it, comparatively unscathed. Unbroken and unshaken by a system that believesargely in the status-quo, writer Sid Sanghviays bare the truths aboutearning and the paradoxes in the system'' of education. He challenges age-old notions about how information is imparted, and argues thatearning without any understanding of how toearn, is the root of the problem. The book takes a dispassionateook at the rights and wrongs perpetuated by the education system, both knowingly and unknowingly. There was a time when teachers kept a record of all the educating they had done: 911,527 blows with a rod, 124,010 blows with a cane, 20,989 taps with a ruler, 136,715 blows with the hand, 10,235 blows to the mouth, 7,905 boxes on the ear, and 1,118,800 blows on the head,'' wrote one teacher in his personal diary. Cut to the present, with the inefficiencies of the current education system exposed by the emergence of Covid-19, there could not be a better time for the incumbents to get a much needed reality check. But fear not, in tandem with attempting toay bare the flaws of primary and secondary education, this book offers a roadmap for how one may successfully navigate the current system to maximize their probability of success. This is a simple guide to our education system: its past, its present and a roadmap for its future.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Educating Students to Improve the World
Book SynopsisThis open access book addresses how to help students find purpose in a rapidly changing world. In a probing and visionary analysis of the field of global education Fernando Reimers explains how to lead the transformation of schools and school systems in order to more effectively prepare students to address today’s’ most urgent challenges and to invent a better future. Offering a comprehensive and multidimensional framework for designing and implementing a global education program that combines cultural, psychological, professional, institutional and political perspectives the book integrates an extensive body of empirical literature on the practice of global education. It discusses several global citizenship curricula that have been adopted by schools and school networks, and ties them into an approach to lead school change into the uncharted territory of the future. Given its scope, the book will help teachers, school and district leaders tackle the change management needed in order to introduce global education, and more generally increase the relevancy of education. In addition, the book offers a “bridge” for more productive collaboration and communication between those who lead the process of educational change, and those who study and theorize this important work.At a time when the urgency of our shared global challenges calls for more understanding and collaboration and when the rapid transformation of societies requires that we help students develop a clear sense of relevancy and purpose, this book offers a way to pursue deep and sustainable change in instruction and school culture, so that students learn that nothing human is foreign and that they can find meaning in lives aligned with audacious purposes to make the world better.Table of Contents1 Introduction.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Perspectives on the Knowledge Problem in New
Book SynopsisThis book offers new ideas for thinking about how more equitable outcomes might be achieved in New Zealand so that all students are well-equipped to live and work in contemporary society. It addresses a social justice concern about access to the unique affordances of subject knowledge which comprises two forms of knowledge - propositional (knowledge-that) and applied knowledge (know-how-to).The book provides perspectives on curriculum design by grounding arguments in a theory of knowledge. It describes the different knowledge forms of the theory, and argues that understanding these differences is significant for curriculum design and enactment. It explains why the current imbalance between knowledge forms is a problem, and offers suggestions for change. Understanding about knowledge itself enables more just and equitable outcomes for all students. This book illustrates how different knowledge types and forms can be used together productively to help students develop adaptive expertise for the 21st century, making it a valuable contribution to the field of education. Trade Review“The book will prove valuable for several groups of readers. It provides postgraduate students and academics alike with a useful introduction to core concepts in social realism, as applied to the New Zealand educational context. … The book also provides an accessible read for teacher-curriculum developers seeking to understand the curriculum development process and experiment with using the CDC model to improve the coherence of their curricula.” (Liyun Wendy Choo, New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, Vol. 58 (1), 2023)Table of Contents1 Introduction.- 2 The components of a national curriculum.- 3 Three models of teaching: A framework for thinking about education.- 4 Knowledge: What teachers need to know.- 5 Knowledge marginalisation in curriculum and practice.- 6 Knowledge and the 'Identity Directive'.- 7 The TAP/CDC combination for bi/multilingual students: Illustrating the relationship between knowledge-that and knowledge-how.- 8 A curriculum for 21st century learners.

Information Age Publishing Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Education:
Book SynopsisThe book suggests that culturally responsive and sustaining education should be the guiding principle in our schools, and that community partnerships be developed in a similar light. Although many of the chapters focus on specific content or places, a transdisciplinary problem and project-based experiential critical pedagogy is an ultimate goal. This necessitates developing awareness, advocacy and action / engagement regarding issues of race, ethnicity, gender, ability, choice, and culture to promote equity and social justice. The stories included in this collection are those of educators in a variety of contexts, but always through a public education framing. The stories come from educators at all levels of public education who are currently practicing in one of the most diverse urban areas of the U.S. Their experiences serve to provide hope for transformational change in education where the priority is truly equity and social justice for all. The idea is to provide voices of these brave educators who are striving to address equity and social justice issues is schools, education, and society – on their teaching and in the students' learning.Table of Contents Preface.

Information Age Publishing Conceptualizing Truth: Implications for Teaching
Book SynopsisIt has been widely noted that society has moved away from seeing truth as an objective and, in some ways, important part of what it means to be educated. Varied conceptions of truth have existed and have been debated in the halls of academia for years but recently a shift has occurred in which truth has lost its status broadly as a virtue. In fact, in 2016, Oxford Dictionary declared "post-truth" as its international word of the year, defined as: 'relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief'. Living in a world that is post-truth has direct implications on the education of a society's youth.This book will examine several broad conceptions of truth and present them as truth profiles considering their implications for education. This survey will consider the role of truth as it relates to teaching and the act of being a teacher, engage with challenging questions about what curriculum will be learned and its implications for our understanding of truth and specific consideration is attended to the impacts that one's conception of truth has for what they prioritize in the classroom, their instructional practice, and on learning itself. This book will take a focused look at the concept of truth and how varied conceptions of truth impact teaching and learning through theoretical, analytic, and practical examples.Table of Contents Introduction CHAPTER 1: Truth and Broad Truth Profiles CHAPTER 2: The Role of Truth in Education CHAPTER 3: Who Decides? Truth and the Curriculum CHAPTER 4: Learning and Truth CHAPTER 5: Instructional Priorities and Truth CHAPTER 6: Instructional Practice and Truth CHAPTER 7: Equipping Learners to Engage in a Post-Truth World References About the Author

Information Age Publishing BIPOC Alliances: Building Communities and
Book SynopsisBIPOC Alliances: Building Communities and Curricula is a collection of reflective experiences that confront, challenge, and resist hegemonic academic canons. BIPOC perspectives are often scarce in scholarly academic venues and curriculum. This edited book is a curated collection of interdisciplinary, underrepresented voices, and lived experiences through critical methodologies for empowerment (Reilly & Lippard, 2018). Gloria Anzaldu a's (2015) autohistoria-teorí a is a lens for decolonizing and theorizing of one's own experiences, historical contexts, knowledge, and performances through creative acts, curriculum, and writing. Gloria Anzaldu a coined, autohistoria-teorí a, a feminist writing practice of testimonio as a way to create self-knowledge, belonging, and to bridge collaborative spaces through selfempowerment. Anzaldu a encouraged us to focus towards social change through our testimonios and art, "[t]he healing images and narratives we imagine will eventually materialize" (Anzaldu a & Keating, 2009, p. 247).For this collection, we use lived experience or testimonios as an approach, a method, to conduct research and to bear witness to learners and one's own experiences (Reyes & Rodrí guez, 2012). Maxine Greene's (1995) concept of an emancipated pedagogy merges art, culture, and history as one education that empowers students with Gloria Anzaldu a's (2015) autohistoria-teorí a to re-imagine individual and collective inclusion by allowing students "... to read and to name, to write and to rewrite their own lived worlds" (Greene, 1995, pp. 147). Greene and Anzaldu a reach beyond theorizing and creating curriculum for awareness and expand the crossings into active and critical self- reflective work to rewrite one's own empowered stories and engage in a healing process.

Information Age Publishing Effectively Using Data for Educator Preparation
Book SynopsisThis volume provides a synthesis of protocols, and strategies to support assessment leaders in effectively using data for educator preparation program improvement. Data-informed decision-making has become increasingly important in quality assurance for both internal and external audiences, yet there are scant resources to guide those charged with managing the development and application of data for monitoring and improving the quality of their programs. Until this work, there has been little explication of how assessment directors working in educator preparation should conceptualize, organize, and implement best practices in data collection, analysis, interpretation, and sharing.As state and national expectations for evidence of quality are growing, it is essential to chronicle the collective wisdom of assessment leaders in education preparation in one manuscript. For both novice and experienced assessment directors, this volume offers insightful perspectives and excellent strategies to facilitate the journey from complying with external expectations to strategically using data and evidence to achieve goals, leveraging assessment to achieve socially just outcomes, involving multiple voices and interpreters, and opening windows to further inquiry.The editors have gathered experts in all phases of the assessment process and organized their work in an easy-to-follow manner. This work provides both conceptual underpinnings of educator preparation quality assurance as well as practical lessons learned that will support the transformation of an assessment professional into an assessment leader.
