Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding Research in Early Education
Book SynopsisIn this newly revised edition of Understanding Research in Early Education, Margaret Clark demonstrates the continuing relevance of research in the homes of young children and in preschool units. Through rigorous yet understandable language, the text stresses the importance of research, acknowledging how easy it can be, amidst the change and flood of documents on early education and care, to overlook the insights to be gained from past research. The author draws on her own studies, and those of others, to illustrate how to avoid common pitfalls, ask the right questions to inform students' research projects, and critically apply findings in the classroom or nursery. The book is one of the few texts for students to bring research alive, analysing key research to consider its limitations and the extent to which results are relevant to policy and practice. Without requiring any prior expertise in research and research methodologies, the third edition wTrade Review'This book not only helps students to review key early years studies past and present, but also helps them to think critically about how and why particular approaches are best suited to particular research. It is invaluable in helping students at all levels to become critical consumers and reflective contributors to early education research.' - Jane Payler, Professor, Open University.'Professor Clark continues to make a powerful contribution to our understanding of children`s learning. Her clear and rigorous exposition of research should influence policy as well as practice.' - Wendy Scott OBE, President, TACTYC.'The third edition of Professor Clark`s book highlights the obstacles to attempts to reconcile links among policy, research and practice, and raises some uncomfortable questions about the processes of dissemination, application and implementation of research findings.' - Carol Aubrey, Emeritus Professor, Warwick University. 'This new edition will be warmly welcomed by those interested in early years research. Professor Clark`s ability to articulate clearly the lessons to be learnt from research makes this book an ideal resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students.' - Louise Wormwell, Senior Lecturer, Primary and Early Years Education, Newman University.'Professor Clark has written an enabling and empowering book, of use to all practitioners who work with children. She highlights a range of approaches critical to our understanding of how research findings are reached and their potential strengths and limits in the development of policy and practice.' - Dr Morag M MacNeil, Previous joint lead evaluator within the Getting it Right for Every Child Development Team. 'In this informative and engaging book Professor Clark draws attention to relevant and important aspects of carrying out research in early childhood. As a student supervised by her for my own doctoral research I was fortunate to have benefitted from her rigorous and systematic approach to the challenges faced by student researchers.' - Dr Lone Hattingh, Senior Lecturer, Bath Spa University.Table of ContentsAbout the author Acknowledgments Preface 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Writing a Watertight Thesis
Book SynopsisWriting a doctoral thesis can be an arduous and confusing process. Writing a Watertight Thesis helps you to demystify many doctoral concerns and provides a clear framework for developing a sound structure for your thesis, making your thesis watertight, clear, and defensible. Now with the added experience of Mark A. Fabrizi, the authors draw on their extensive experience of supervising and examining numerous doctorates from an internationally diverse and multicultural student body around the world, including in Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, the UK and the USA. The chapters on preparing a research proposal, the viva process, and developing publishable articles out of your thesis have all been updated, and new chapters have been added to demystifying common concerns:Do I have what it takes to do a doctorate?What is doctoral originality?Is my work of doctoral quality?What kind of relationship should I cultivate with my supervisor/advisorsTrade ReviewA matchless guide to undertaking a doctorate that charts the doctoral journey with the voice of experience and demystifies the arcane. This impressively accessible commentary constitutes an essential primer for any doctoral aspirant seeking to create a watertight thesis and keep the venture afloat on an even keel. * Simon Clarke, Doctor of Education Course Coordinator, Graduate School of Education, The University of Western Australia, Australia *I strongly suggest that doctoral students read Writing a Watertight Thesis. The wisdom and the experience of the authors helped me, a beginning researcher, to write a watertight thesis, leading me to a successful research and writing career. * Chang Junyue, Professor and Vice President of Foreign Languages, Dalian University, China *The authors provide valuable guidance on questions doctoral candidates might ask and the roles that mentors might play to demystify the thesis/dissertation process. Through examinations of concurrent and consecutive curricular models for graduate studies, student-mentor relationships, and qualifications frameworks across nations, this text would well support the reader’s research journey. * David L. Stoloff, Ph.D., Professor, Educational Technology and the Social Foundations of Education, Eastern Connecticut State University, USA *Producing a doctoral thesis which will satisfy examiners is a challenging task. This new edition continues with the idea of writing a ‘watertight’ thesis by examining the notion of originality to make this goal less daunting and indeed the book succeeds in making all the tacit processes associated with doctoral success clear and explicit. It will prove invaluable to both students and supervisors. * Jeremy Wellington, Retired Professor in the School of Education, Sheffield University, UK *Table of ContentsPreface to the Second Edition Part I: Getting Ready 1.

Emerald Publishing Limited Thriving in Academic Leadership
Book SynopsisDemands on institutions of higher education are constantly growing, and recent years, including the Coronavirus pandemic, have complicated academic life in unprecedented ways. The impact of complex and dynamic outside forces, from the pandemic to the interacting socio-cultural, political, economic, and technological factors, calls for strengthened leadership. Yet the 21st century has seen reduced participation by faculty in leadership roles, even though the numbers of faculty globally are rising. Better support is needed to encourage and inspire early and mid-career scholars in pursuing leadership. Thriving in Academic Leadership provides just that, presenting informative and inspiring stories from academic leaders at colleges and universities across the world, including Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Personal and engaging, the stories speak to a broad population of academics, serving as an inspiration and guide for academics who aspire to leadership, or are currently in leadership positions, looking to climb the leadership ladder.Trade ReviewOne of the clues to successful leadership is the ability to sustain a narrative about an institution’s or an organization’s heritage and direction. Colleges and universities are, or should be, mission-based, student-centered, and market-sensitive, three features that lend themselves to storytelling. By relating the vision of founders and the successes of following generations, leaders can use story telling to make complex ideas comprehendible and inspire new generations. To be believable, the storyteller must demonstrate commitment to the institution and sincere reflection on its foundational principles, as well as the context for decisions and choices, while also sharing their lived experiences. The stories of and by these ten varied reflective leaders help define leadership in practice in multiple university settings and culture around the world. It is an excellent guide for those who occupy, or seek to occupy, the helm of an academic institution. -- Dr. Robert A.

Penguin Books Ltd What are Universities For?
Book SynopsisAcross the world, universities are more numerous than they have ever been, yet at the same time there is unprecedented confusion about their purpose and scepticism about their value. What Are Universities For? offers a spirited and compelling argument for completely rethinking the way we see our universities, and why we need them. Stefan Collini challenges the common claim that universities need to show that they help to make money in order to justify getting more money. Instead, he argues that we must reflect on the different types of institution and the distinctive roles they play. In particular we must recognize that attempting to extend human understanding, which is at the heart of disciplined intellectual enquiry, can never be wholly harnessed to immediate social purposes - particularly in the case of the humanities, which both attract and puzzle many people and are therefore the most difficult subjects to justify.At a time when the future of higher education lies in the balance, What Are Universities For? offers all of us a better, deeper and more enlightened understanding of why universities matter, to everyone.Trade ReviewAn eloquent and impassioned book * Economist *Collini is astute, analytical, and often killingly funny -- Bevis Hillier * Daily Telegraph *Collini is that rare bird, a don who can be read with pleasure -- Michael Barber * Tablet, Books of the Year *One of Britain's finest essayists and writers -- Ronan McDonald * The Times Higher Education Supplement *[A] timely lecture for the coalition of dunces ... this is a closely argued defence * Independent on Sunday *The book is a bit like some university courses. It is erudite, well argued, carefully researched, a fine addition to the debate about the purpose of university education * Scotsman *[Collini is] stern and splendid in his brief history of the hot debate on useful versus useless knowledge -- Fred Inglis * Times Higher Education *It is extremely well written: Collini's prose is lively, well-reasoned and persuasive. The book is a refreshing example of a faculty member engaging with the wider issues of higher education rather than perceiving them through the narrow prism of his own discipline ... a valuable, timely contribution to the discourse -- Gerry Wrixon * Irish Examiner *A critique both pointed and witty -- Howard Newby * Independent *Collini writes beautifully -- Chris Patten * Financial Times *Collini puts his finger on the nub of the problem facing universities. Collini's book is a must-read -- AC Grayling * Literary Review *

Book SynopsisResearch has identified cooperative learning as one of the ten High Impact Practices that improve student learning. If you’ve been interested in cooperative learning, but wondered how it would work in your discipline, this book provides the necessary theory, and a wide range of concrete examples.Experienced users of cooperative learning demonstrate how they use it in settings as varied as a developmental mathematics course at a community college, and graduate courses in history and the sciences, and how it works in small and large classes, as well as in hybrid and online environments. The authors describe the application of cooperative learning in biology, economics, educational psychology, financial accounting, general chemistry, and literature at remedial, introductory, and graduate levels.The chapters showcase cooperative learning in action, at the same time introducing the reader to major principles such as individual accountability, positive interdependence, heterogeneous teams, group processing, and social or leadership skills.The authors build upon, and cross-reference, each others’ chapters, describing particular methods and activities in detail. They explain how and why they may differ about specific practices while exemplifying reflective approaches to teaching that never fail to address important assessment issues.Table of ContentsPREFACE LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS 1.

Taylor & Francis Inc Thrive Online: A New Approach to Building
Book SynopsisResearch shows that online education, when designed and facilitated well, is as effective as traditional campus-based instruction.

Crown House Publishing The A Level Mindset: 40 activities for
Book SynopsisDuring their combined 40 plus years of teaching and coaching, Steve and Martin have discovered something important: those students who make real and sustained progress at A level aren't necessarily the ones with superb GCSEs. Some students leap from average results in Year 11 to outstanding results in Year 13, while others seem to hit a ceiling. But why?It was in trying to answer this question that the VESPA system emerged. Steve and Martin have cut through the noise surrounding character development and identified five key characteristics that all students need in order to be successful: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude.These characteristics beat cognition hands down. Having pinned down the core traits that contribute to student success, the authors have developed a range of practical activities to help every student develop the A Level Mindset: 40 concrete, easy-to-use and applicable tools and strategies that will supercharge learners' ambition, organisation, productivity, persistence and determination.And in this revised edition Steve and Martin present a range of case studies and useful advice on effective implementation to guide schools towards putting the VESPA model into practice. Furthermore, they have also revamped the introductions to each aspect of the VESPA model with updated insights and references.Suitable for teachers, tutors, heads of sixth form or anyone else who wants to help A level students achieve their potential.

Columbia University Press The Elements of Academic Style
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewPart of the pleasure of reading this lively, friendly, and truly unique book on academic writing is getting a sense of the pleasure with which the author obviously wrote it. With intelligence, generosity, and dare I say love, Eric Hayot makes us pay attention to that which we tend most to overlook or to give short shrift in scholarly practice-the act of style and its integral relation to critical thought-and moreover shows us how to enjoy the act of reclaiming it. Academic writers at all stages of experience will return to these pages again and again. -- Sianne Ngai, author of Our Aesthetic Categories: Zany, Cute, Interesting My only criticism of The Elements of Academic Style is that it wasn't around thirty years ago, when I needed to learn everything, micro and macro, that this book teaches in its inimitable ways about the nature of scholarly writing. But I need it today just as much for its provocative suggestion that we unlearn what we believe we already know about seminar papers, chapters, dissertations, and books as kinds of writing. Challenging us to rethink what we ask our students to do (and why), Hayot links the demands of academic style to the possibilities of institutional reform. How long are seminar papers, and why do we need them anyway? Thanks to The Elements of Academic Style, we'll be debating these and many other questions for years to come. -- Andrew Parker, Professor of French and Comparative Literature, Rutgers University The Elements of Academic Style is an utter tour de force, a guide to scholarly writing in the humanities that manages to be at once lively, funny, absorbing, rigorous, and immensely insightful. It offers a wealth of advice from the minute and grammatical to the disciplinary and career-changing, even as it probes deeply into the humanities as they are actually practiced, in the nitty gritty of our writing. Intended for graduate students, who will benefit in untold ways from its wisdom, it is a boon for faculty as well, so acute are its observations and so intelligent its maxims. Like its progenitor, Elements of Academic Style has sweep, lucidity, and pitch-perfect style. But what most distinguishes this remarkable book are more unexpected qualities: its intimacy, and especially its generosity. Eric Hayot has given us all a gift. -- Sarah Cole, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Columbia University For literary critical postgraduates and their teachers this is a useful book. Times Literary Supplement [The Elements of Academic Style] has the potential to transform how we teach and practice academic writing, and it invites the kind of reading and engagement that makes such a transformation possible... A book well worth reading and rereading. -- Carla Nappi New Books Network Seminar A needed contribution to the literature on academic writing, Hayot's book will be invaluable to any writer in the humanities. CHOICE Excellent... The book is a comprehensive, incisive, and staggeringly overdue guide to writing humanistic scholarship... Written in assured, engaging prose, possessed of personality but not overbearing, The Elements should be required reading for everybody-students, faculty, even administrators-in the orbit of a humanities Ph.D. program. -- Louis Bury HyperallergicTable of Contents1.

MIT Press Ltd The Unnaming of Kroeber Hall
Book SynopsisA critical examination of the complex legacies of early Californian anthropology and linguistics for twenty-first-century communities.In January 2021, at a time when many institutions were reevaluating fraught histories, the University of California removed anthropologist and linguist Alfred Kroeber’s name from a building on its Berkeley campus. Critics accused Kroeber of racist and dehumanizing practices that harmed Indigenous people; university leaders repudiated his values. In The Unnaming of Kroeber Hall, Andrew Garrett examines Kroeber’s work in the early twentieth century and his legacy today, asking how a vigorous opponent of racism and advocate for Indigenous rights in his own era became a symbol of his university’s failed relationships with Native communities. Garrett argues that Kroeber’s most important work has been overlooked: his collaborations with Indigenous people throughout California to record their languages and stories.The Unnaming of Kroeber Hall offers new perspectives on the early practice of anthropology and linguistics and on its significance today and in the future. Kroeber’s documentation was broader and more collaborative and multifaceted than is usually recognized. As a result, the records Indigenous people created while working with him are relevant throughout California as communities revive languages, names, songs, and stories. Garrett asks readers to consider these legacies, arguing that the University of California chose to reject critical self-examination when it unnamed Kroeber Hall.

The University of Chicago Press A Problem of Fit How the Complexity of College
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Providing detailed economic analysis of the effects of sticker price, tuition discounts, merit and need-based financial aid, and institutional competition, Levine contends that the overall impact from these multiple factors is to limit access to higher education for lower-income students. He takes specific aim at the problem of opaque financial aid and how it serves to heighten inequities in higher education. And he offers an excellent discussion of the pros and cons of two major policies for improving access to college—the various versions of 'free college' and a significant increase (read: doubling) of Pell Grants." * Forbes *"A Problem of Fit [examines] the pricing system in American higher education, exploring the market factors that contribute to its problems....Levine [addresses] barriers to higher education beyond those directly related to pricing, such as excessive levels of student loans, the complexity of the college application process, and difficulties in understanding financial aid award letters." * Journal of Economic Literature *"Levine’s text is a quick and engaging read that we highly recommend. In each chapter, he does a fantastic job of identifying what matters for an audience’s understanding of these complex, interrelated issues and communicates them in a way that is approachable and allows readers to connect the pieces of this big puzzle. Levine’s text captures a high level of nuance that escapes most of the public and many policymakers. As such, this should be a required reading for higher education finance courses and new legislator orientations alike." * Teachers College Record *"A Problem of Fit is an interesting book that offers several reasonable policy fixes for the college pricing system. The author makes his case with enough technical data to satisfy any policy wonk and presents cogent analyses accessible to the lay reader." * Monthly Labor Review (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) *"A Problem of Fit is an interesting book that offers several reasonable policy fixes for the college pricing system. The author makes his case with enough technical data to satisfy any policy wonk and presents cogent analyses accessible to the lay reader. I would recommend the book to anyone concerned with college pricing, as well as to people interested in learning more about the higher education market." * Monthly Labor Review *"If you want to understand the nuances of college affordability, pricing, and finance, this book is for you. Levine has taken an issue that impacts the majority of families going through the college search process and deconstructed its complexity. Whether you are a student, policy maker, or higher education practitioner, this is an important read." -- Angel B. Pérez, CEO, National Association for College Admission Counseling"Levine combines accessible economic explanations with cogent policy recommendations to frame the challenges facing students and families navigating the complex world of college financing. His forceful critique focuses on analysis and solutions rather than anger and blame, forwarding ideas about targeted new funding and improved communication with the potential to help students enroll at the institutions that will be the best fit for them." -- Sandy Baum, Center on Education Data and Policy at the Urban InstituteTable of ContentsPreface Introduction Chapter 1: The Institution of Financial Aid Chapter 2: An Econ 101 View of College Pricing and Financial Aid Chapter 3: The Real Cost of College and Its Worth Chapter 4: Pricing Transparency Chapter 5: Addressing Affordability Chapter 6: Fixing the Pricing System in Higher Education Chapter 7: Other Barriers to College Access Conclusion Acknowledgments References Index

SAGE Publications Inc The Distance Learning Playbook for College and
Book SynopsisFirst, let's commend ourselves: how in the midst of a pandemic we faculty stepped up at record speed to teach in such a foreign learning environment. Try we did, adapt we did, and learn we did. But to be clear, and we already recognize this, this past spring was less about distance learning and more about crisis teaching. This time around we have the opportunity to be much more purposeful and intentional, and that's where The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction will prove absolutely indispensable. Much more than a collection of cool tools and apps, The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction mobilizes decades of Visible Learning research to reveal those evidence-based strategies that work best in an online environment. Supplemented by video footage and opportunities to self-assess and reflect, the book addresses every dynamic that must be in place for students to learn, even atTrade ReviewThis is an amazing book. While it is designed to build everyone’s capacity to teach in distance learning environments, it is truly a primer on effective teaching in postsecondary education. Educators who utilize these clear and practical suggestions will see their students achieve stronger learning outcomes. The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction should be a cornerstone of faculty professional development efforts. -- Joseph F. Johnson Jr., PhDThe Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction is a very useful guide to helping educators make the transition from onsite to online teaching. The highly respected authors skillfully demonstrate how teachers can apply evidence-based practices from more traditional learning environments to a rapidly evolving world of online learning. The result is a wonderful self-guided tour of extraordinary opportunities to close the distance for learners. -- David W. Andrews, PhDThe Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction offers an innovative learner-centered approach to student achievement where self-care, social emotional learning, instructional clarity, and responsive leadership strategies converge to support faculty in facilitating learner experiences that continue to transition students from ‘passenger to active driver’ in all learning environments, including distance education. -- Robert N. Corley III, PhDThe Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction by Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, John Almarode, and John Hattie is a timely and necessary addition to every faculty’s library. The authors’ considerate and experiential approach to distance learning provides a well-researched foundation, authentic vignettes of instructors’ experiences, easily accessible video and web links, and helpful techniques that can be used among most disciplines. Impressively, they envisage the distance learning environment beginning with the instructor and as an active, dynamic, and engaging space for learning and teaching. -- Arlette WillisThese authors once again exceed expectations with this thought-provoking and very practical guide to distance learning. The timing could not be better. Higher education faculty and administrators will find it extremely useful–including a much-needed chapter on self-care, a topic often overlooked in the literature. The pointers on engaging and assessing students are particularly helpful, and the learning intentions and success criteria make this an indispensable resource for new and veteran online instructors alike. -- James P.
