AltaMira Press In Principle In Practice
Book SynopsisThe science museum field has made tremendous advances in understanding museum learning, but little has been done to consolidate and synethesize these findings to encourage widespread improvements in practice. By clearly presenting the most current knowledge of museum learning, In Principle, In Practice aims to promote effective programs and exhibitions, identify promising approaches for future research, and develop strategies for implementing and sustaining connections between research and practice in the museum community.Trade ReviewThis anthology is the first in a series of Learning Innovations. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. -- K. Marantz, emeritus, Ohio State University * CHOICE *This will be a useful book for people in the field, especially those new to the profession who want to understand where the field stands today on how people learn in a museum setting. Those with more of a research bent will find a number of the articles enlightening. Practitioners will find structures that help them improve their practice. And those who wish to think deeply about the meaning and purpose of museums will be inspired. -- Dennis Schatz, Vice President for Education, Pacific Science CenterIn Principle, In Practice should quickly become one of the primary sources of information and guidance for any museum seeking to optimize its role as a learning institution. This compilation of knowledge gained from years of studying learning in museums, combined with practical advice for fostering learning through museum experiences, will be a valuable tool for museum professionals for years to come. -- Dan Freas, Museum Experience Director, Conner PrairieThis book is a provocative inquiry into what learning means in a museum environment, and academics and practitioners alike will find lasting value in this broad, deep, and rich exploration of the museum experience. Because learning lies at the heart of a museum’s public value, In Principle, In Practice is essential reading for all those who care about the meaning and value of museums as social institutions. -- Robert R. Janes, Editor-in-Chief, Museum Management and CuratorshipIn Principle, In Practice offers a vital progress report on museum-based learning research to the international community of museum professionals. The essays, taken together, show that the learning research field is in media res, but has made enormous strides over the past decade. -- Carol A. Parssinen, Senior Vice President, Center for Innovation, The Franklin Institute Science MuseumThe contents of the book are worthy... * The Tamale, Spring 2008 *This collection of articles is packed with useful information, examples of exciting museum practice and some research reports that are, at times, pretty heavy going....It is a worthy addition to the Top Ten Museum Education Books started by Christine Castle on the Ham-Ed blog. -- May/June 2008 * Muse *The articles share visitor and learning research results, innovative learning and community collaboration case studies, ideas for more meaningfully engaging larger audiences, and visions of what can be studied and designed for future museum experiences....In Principle, In Practice provides an important resource for museum education professionals. * AASLH History News, Summer 2008 *This holistic approach provides a more balanced approach to education that encompasses not only learning, but critical evauation of the methodology of teaching and the contructions of knowledge. Museum educators, especiallt curators, would benefit from more critical analysis of the methods they use to construct knowledge and communicate information to visitors. This in itself might deliver more appropriate learning outcomes for visitors in the next decade..." * ReCollections, 4/21/2010 *Table of Contents1 Foreword 2 Preface 3 Part I: How People Learn in Museums 4 1.

John Wiley & Sons Schools Under Surveillance Cultures of Control in Public Education Critical Issues in Crime and Society Series
Book SynopsisSchools under Surveillance gathers together some of the very best researchers studying surveillance and discipline in contemporary public schools. Surveillance is not simply about monitoring or tracking individuals and their dataùit is about the structuring of power relations through human, technical, or hybrid control mechanisms.Trade Review"After reading Schools Under Surveillance one is forever impacted by the gripping ethnographic moments of multiple school contexts where surveillance is embodied and resisted. This book is a must read for undergraduate and graduate students in sociology, anthropology, psychology and education interested in the issues of social control, culture, power and resistance in schools." * Contemporary Sociology *"A fascinating and sophisticated look at the structure of power relations present in the security practices of public education. Focusing on 'the other side' of school safety policies which typically do not fully consider the effects of various control mechanisms, Schools Under Surveillance represents a major addition to the literature that will undoubtedly be of great value to scholars, practitioners, and policy makers alike." -- Henry Pontell * University of California, Irvine *"A thought-provoking anthology." * H-Education *"This volume's interdisciplinarity makes the collection a provocative and stimulating reflection on cultures of control but also provides a brilliant overview of creative forms of resistance." * Surveillance and Society *"Schools under Surveillance raises a set of important and critical questions about how public schools have become one of the most surveilled of contemporary spaces.
