  • Normed Children: Effects of Gender and Sex

    Transcript Verlag Normed Children: Effects of Gender and Sex

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisGender- and sex-related norms have an impact on us from the first to the last day of our lives. What are the effects of such norms on the education of children and adolescents? Conveyed via parents/family, school, and peers, they seem to be an inseparable part of human relations. After its favorable reception in German-speaking countries from 2014 onwards, this title is now available in English. The texts show that the traditional assumption of a dualistic, bipolar normativity of sex and gender leads to children being taught gender-typical behavior. The contributions in this volume explore the reasons for these practices and open the debate on the divergence between the prevailing norms and the plurality of different life plans. In addition, the book helps to disengage the topic of sex and gender from a hitherto narrowly circumscribed context of sexual orientation. The contributions point the way towards a culture of respect and mutual acceptance and show new methodological as well as theoretical approaches, e.g. by introducing the figure of the continuum, so that, in future research projects, more than just the two sexes and genders of female and male might be considered as a new normality.

    Transcript Verlag Building Blocks – A Cultural History of Codes,

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisBuilding blocks are practical materials for playing, learning and working at kindergartens, schools, universities and companies. How did building blocks, which were primarily established as toys for children, come to be practical materials used in professional and educational settings?This study explores the historical implications of particular sets of building blocks in the interdisciplinary consolidation and transformation of techniques, materials, discourses and subjects. By mapping the genealogy of building blocks from Fröbel's "gifts" to their current systematization as interlocked blocks, this study proposes that building blocks should be understood not exclusively as concrete objects, but as the materiality of a combinatorial program, which delineates a modular system characterized by a code of composition, a context-neutrality and a semantic component.

    Book SynopsisLearning democracy is a challenge for societies - then as now. Johanna Bethge examines the role that textbooks played after the Second World War in practicing democratic ways of thinking and behaving in occupied Germany within the American zone of occupation and West Berlin: The American side attached great importance to the history book in particular for democratization. Not only the printed textbook, but also its transnational development process in particular, are examined in this volume on the basis of partially untapped sources from at home and abroad. This makes it possible to provide unusual insights into the individual and collective practice of textbook production and reception and to refute common assessments of re-education research.

    Book SynopsisThe diversity and depth of medieval literacy and scientific thought has often been underestimated. Even though there was no continuous process of rising human consciousness and awareness and no rise of complexity in thought in comparison between antiquity, the earlier and the later middle ages, there was a growing corpus of knowledge and an intense development of institutions, starting from the monastic and cathedral schools and leading to universities and other later forms of schools. The book follows these developments as well as the evolvement of the various disciplines, starting from the seven liberal arts, philosophy, theology and law to history, political theory, and the seven mechanical and magical arts. Thus, it will demonstrate the rising compexity of scientific ideas and methodological approaches which provided an important starting point for the modern developments.

    Book SynopsisHow have the Nazi period and the Shoah been presented in history textbooks for secondary schools published since 1950 in Germany, the United Kingdom, French-speaking Belgium and France ? This volume compares their contents by underlining the evolution of this content and the influence of the historic researches as well as the various events which have been topical over the last fifty years.Whilst the European public opinion often mentions the deep silence about this Nazi period and the Shoah up to the late nineties, German textbooks from the fifties provided pupils, aged 14 to 16, with important information. Although incomplete and imperfect at the beginning, this knowledge was quickly offered and broke the silence before being dramatically increased and more precise at the turn of the century.As far as quantity and quality are concerned, there is a sharp contrast between the German and French textbooks and the British ones which deal much less with this topic. As for Walloon textbooks, they were scarce from the seventies to 2000.

    Book SynopsisThe founder of higher education research in Germany, Ulrich Teichler, looks back on more than five decades of higher education research. The economic miracle and university expansion, the student movement, experiments and crises of the 1970s, organisational breakdown, reunification, internationalisation, ranking and management cult – all these are historical stages that are reflected in higher education and science. Ulrich Teichler, directly involved, reports with openness and humour, presenting clever analyses.. Higher education research and Ulrich Teichler – one is not conceivable without the other. Anyone involved in German and European higher education research – that is, research that has higher education as its subject matter – will not be able to avoid his name. Ulrich Teichler was the founding director and for many years the director of the International Center for Higher Education Research at the University of Kassel, one of the first higher education research centers at a German university. The student protest of the late 1960s is only one of the drastic events that Ulrich Teichler reports on. Other upheavals in higher education, politics and society are also remembered, recounted and – this is his great strength – analyzed by Ulrich Teichler as a contemporary witness. Readers experience exemplarily how a research field is established, how international impulses have an effect, how a research scene emerges and how it deals with the economic cycles of its research field. Since the beginnings of university research in the late 1970s, the research scene has grown enormously and has changed considerably – not least due to a change of generations. As before, however, the observation remains that Ulrich Teichler has had a strong influence on higher education research over all these years. This constellation was the reason for two scientists of the successor generation – Anna Kosmützky and Christiane Rittgerott – to look back on more than five decades of university research together with Ulrich Teichler and to talk to him about his life as a scientist, about research strategies, managing a research center and much more. He answered the questions posed to him with his typical openness, enthusiasm for providing information, and humour.Table of ContentsForeword1. A Straight Path to Academia?2.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIt is known that a society in transformation undergoes significant changes on many levels, but structural and cultural changes are arguably two of the most significant. How do such monumental changes affect the lives of individuals and small communities? Teachers on the Waves of Transformation aims to answer this question through the lens of education. With careful exploratory research at two schools in a small town in central Bohemia, anthropologist Dana Moree follows the fates of two generations of teachers at the schools. Through interviews with teachers, school administrators, and the students’ parents, Moree focuses on the relationships, values, shared stories, and symbolic and ritual worlds that create the culture of the schools. Teachers on the Waves of Transformation offers a unique perspective of cultural flux as witnessed in the classroom.Trade Review“Presents a wealth of valuable material.” -- Miroslav Vanek, professor of oral history at Charles University, Prague, and director of the Institute of Contemporary History at the Czech Academy of Sciences

    Book SynopsisBy examining the myriad myths surrounding Central European universities, Czech historians Lukáš Fasora and Jiří Hanuš take a diachronic approach to investigating the issues facing higher learning in the region. Using careful historical research, the authors point out vast discontinuities, comparing how the philosophy of education from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century has changed and how this evolution relates to the current administrative goals of higher education. As they confront the history and myths of university education, the authors do not shy away from exploring difficult questions, such as whether political and economic influences have completely transformed the goals and structure of today’s universities in Central Europe. Though focused on university systems in a specific geographic region, the findings have wide-ranging implications for higher education the world over.Trade Review“This is a highly topical and rewarding book, as it provides a fresh rejoinder to many foreign and domestic discussions about the past, present, and future mission of universities.” -- Jirí Štaif, head of the Department of Social History at Charles University, PragueTable of ContentsAn introduction for foreign readersMyth: an attempt at understanding university historyThe myth of university freedomThe Humboldtian mythThe myth of the united universityThe myth of indisputable foundationsThe myth of contributing to societyThe myth of university governanceThe myth of territoryThe history of university culture and some current issuesBibliography

    Book SynopsisThe book addresses contemporary ideological discourses concerning education in the United Kingdom. It provides a synthetic analysis of the roots of the political changes in education in the UK from the tenth to the first decade of the twenty-first century, with particular emphasis on the last hundred years. It presents British political and education thought during the tenth through the sixteenth centuries, then in the Age of Enlightenment, showing the roles of the positivist current in British education, the Chartist movement, and educational changes related to them. The remainder of the book focuses on the trends and stages of educational development up to World War II, the postwar reform of the education system in England and Wales, the neoliberal trend in the educational policy of Britain, and the genesis of the 1998 educational reforms in England and Wales and their consequences up to 2013.Trade ReviewA combination of educational ideologies and historical traditions with the new challenges facing English education serve as a contribution towards deeper reflection on the relationship between the sustainability and variability of systemic solutions. It can perhaps serve as well as a good point of reference with regard to the shape of Polish solutions used in educational policy. The book can be helpful in university-level teaching in the field of comparative education. -- Renata Nowakowska-Siuta, dean of the faculty of education, head of the department of teaching and education, Christian Theological Academy in Warsaw

  • Brill Educating the Catholic People: Religious Orders

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisIn Educating the Catholic People, David Salomoni reconstructs the complex educational landscape that arose in sixteenth-century Italy and lasted until the French Revolution. Over three centuries, various religious orders, both male and female, took on the educational needs of cities and states on the Italian peninsula, renewing the traditional humanist pedagogy. Historians, however, have not attempted to produce a synthesis on this topic, focusing mainly on the pedagogical activities of the Jesuits and neglecting the contributions and innovations of other groups. This book addresses this historiographical gap, providing a new chapter in the comparative study of pre-modern education.Table of ContentsList of Maps Introduction  1 State of Research and Historiographical Problems 1 Educating the Modern Catholics?: Roots of Catholic Schools in Renaissance Italy (15th–16th cc.)  1 The Last Phase of Communal Education in Italy   1.1 Complexity of the Renaissance Communal School System   1.2 Weaknesses of the Renaissance Communal School System  2 The Catholicization of Italian Education 2 Historical Paths: The Definition of Pedagogical Identities (16th–17th cc.)  1 Male Religious Orders   1.1 An Educational Benchmark: The Jesuits   1.2 The Barnabites   1.3 The Somascans   1.4 The Piarists   1.5 The Theatines and the Servites  2 Female Religious Orders   2.1 The Ursulines   2.2 The Angelic Sisters and the Guastalla College   2.3 Rosa Venerini and Lucia Filippini: The Pious Teachers 3 Schools and Colleges: Processes of Settlement in Italy and Contiguous Areas  1 From Lombardy to the Kingdom of France  2 Schools for Northern Italy and Small Towns  3 A Congregation for the Large Cities  4 Between Central, Southern and Eastern Europe  5 The Franciscans between Continuity and Rupture 4 Different Types of Schools Operated by Religious Orders  1 Public Education Entrusted to Religious Orders and Secular Priests   1.1 Udine and the Barnabites: On the Outskirts of the Peninsula   1.2 Jesuits and Piarists in the Duchy of Modena: A Competition between Local Networks   1.3 Guastalla: A Multi-layered Religious Education for the Community  2 Episcopal Requests   2.1 The Somascans Between Schools and Diocesan Seminaries  3 Other Types of Schools Operated by Religious Orders   3.1 Barnabite Schools Established by Notables and Aristocrats   3.2 The Religious as Private Teachers   3.3 Women, Nuns, Teachers: The ‘Educandato’ of Saint Charles 5 The End of an Educational Season: The Schools of Religious Orders between Scientific and Political Revolutions (17th–18th cc.)  1 The Scientific Culture: Religious Orders on the Eve of Modernity   1.1 Famiano Michelini and the Galilean Piarists   1.2 Baranzano Redento  2 School Reforms in the Age of Enlightenment   2.1 The European Situation   2.2 The Situation in Italy: The Italian States and the Religious Orders  3 Conclusion Bibliography Index

    Book SynopsisThis book traces the history of one of the central actors in the transformation of the Western educational system between the 9th and 13th centuries: the cathedral schoolmaster. Originally responsible for running the episcopal school, this ecclesiastical official eventually became a true school administrator with a territorial monopoly and coercive powers, including in particular issuing ‘licentia docendi’ to masters under his jurisdiction. Using a wide range of sources and taking in thirty-nine dioceses in northern France, the study analyses the construction of the office from the Carolingian period, the place of the schoolmaster within the canonical community and in feudal society, and the institutionalisation of his function with the Gregorian Reform and the birth of universities.Table of ContentsTable des matières Remerciements Table des illustrations Abréviations Introduction 1 La naissance de l’écolâtre  1 Les conditions d’émergence de la fonction  2 L’affirmation de l’office dans l’espace ecclésial  3 La constitution du bénéfice ecclésiastique  4 Conclusion du chapitre 2 L’écolâtre dans le chapitre  1 L’appartenance au chapitre  2 Le rang au sein du chapitre  3 Les missions confiées à l’écolâtre  4 Conclusion du chapitre 3 Les prérogatives de l’écolâtre  1 La fonction enseignante  2 L’administration des écoles  3 La nature du jus scolarum  4 Conclusion du chapitre 4 L’écolâtre à l’épreuve de la réforme  1 Le discours réformateur sur l’école  2 La mise en œuvre de la réforme  3 Conclusion du chapitre Conclusion Sources et bibliographie  Index

    Book SynopsisIn Cold War in Universities: U.S. and Soviet Cultural Diplomacy, 1945–1990 Natalia Tsvetkova recounts how the United States and the Soviet Union aspired to transform overseas academic institutions according to their political aims during the Cold War. The book depicts how U.S. and Soviet attempts to impose certain values, disciplines, teaching models, structures, statutes, and personnel at universities in divided Germany, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, both Vietnams, and Cuba as well as Guatemala were foiled by sabotage, ignorance, and resistance on the part of the local academic elite, particularly professors. Often at odds with local academic communities, U.S. and Soviet university policies endured unexpected frustrations as their efforts toward Americanization and Sovietization faced developmental setbacks, grassroots resistance, and even political fear.

    Book SynopsisThe phrase “free, compulsory, and secular” is central to Australia’s understanding of its own education system. Yet the extent to which education in Australia, or anywhere else for that matter, can be described as “secular” is never clear or settled. This work examines the history of education in Australia, from 1910 through to the present, through an interdisciplinary survey of key scholarship and a series of six original case studies. It seeks to uncover the extent to which the education system has undergone a process of secularisation and argues that the very meaning of the term “secular” is always contingent and changeable.Table of ContentsContents List of Tables Abstract Keywords  Part 1: Secularisation and Australian Education: Definitions and Approaches  Part 2: Religious Instruction and State Schools: Expansion and Constraint in the Early Twentieth Century  Part 3: Government and Non-government Schools: Questions of Faith, Choice, and Control in the 1960s and 1970s  Part 4: Twenty-First Century Debates: Christian Influence in a Complex System  Part 5: Conclusion  Acknowledgements

    Book SynopsisThe purpose of AECT at 100: A Legacy of Leadership is to highlight the Association for Educational Communications and Technology’s 100 years of leadership in educational technology and learning. AECT has a rich history, evolving from the National Education Association’s (NEA) Department of Visual Instruction (DVI) and later the Department of Audio-Visual Instruction (DAVI). Over its 100 years, AECT and its members have had a substantial impact on the evolution of American educational technology and learning, including in the areas of audiovisual instruction, instructional design, and online learning. AECT at 100: A Legacy of Leadership brings together writers and experts in the organization to explore various periods of history within the field and how AECT and its membership stood as a leader within the field. Topics such as visual instruction, the audiovisual movement, leadership development, programmed instruction, diversity leadership, AECT and educational technology topics, journals, ethics, and social justice are explored. Additionally, a number of leaders are explored from the early days of AECT such as James Finn, F. Dean McClusky, Edgar Dale, and Elizabeth Golterman all the way to recent leaders such as Rob Branch.Table of ContentsForeword  Joi L.
