Taylor & Francis Ltd EcoRational Education
Book SynopsisEco-Rational Education proposes an educational response to climate change, environmental degradation, and desctructive human relations to ecology through the delivery of critical land-responsive environmental education. The book argues that education is a powerful vehicle for both social change and cultural reproduction. It proposes that the prioritisation and integration of environmental education across the curriculum is essential to the development of ecologically rational citizens capable of responding to the environmental crisis and an increasingly changing world. Using philosophical analysis, particularly environmental philosophy, pragmatism, and ecofeminism, the book develops an understanding of contemporary issues in education, especially inquiry-based learning as pedagogy, diversifying knowledge, environmental and epistemic justice, climate change education, and citizenship education. Eco-Rational Education will be of interest to researcTrade Review‘At the core of Simone Thornton’s concerns is the development of eco-rational thinking as central to environmental education aimed at purposeful engagement in identity formation towards ecological citizenship. Eco-Rational Education: An Educational Response to Environmental Crisis innovatively addresses complex concepts and pressing issues and provides a compelling argument for dialogic education that engages students with Indigenous and non-indigenous socio-political concepts to open conversation on diverse ways of knowing and being in the world. Eloquently written, Thornton offers a pedagogical framework that challenges educators to reposition environmental education as a cross-curriculum learning priority for synthesising curriculum with place-responsive practice and, as such, has published a very timely book that makes a significant contribution to re-visioning education as the socio-cultural reconstruction of the greater community.’Gilbert Burgh, Honorary Associate Professor in Philosophy, School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry, The University of Queensland, Australia.‘Thornton’s ground-breaking Eco-Rational Education: An Educational Response to Environmental Crisis provides a compelling account of why we must upend some deep-seated philosophical and educational assumptions in order to implement effective environmental education in schools. By skilfully interconnecting the ideas of a surprisingly diverse range of scholars, including Albert Camus, Val Plumwood, Mary Graham, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Plato, and James Baldwin, Thornton argues that educational institutions must reject the notion that a key aim of education is the development of individuals with a rational capacity that enables them to dominate nature and ‘the other’—a form of epistemic violence. Thornton’s book is not merely a critique. It also offers an innovative and practical alternative, namely a type of eco-rational education, which draws on ideas from pragmatism, Philosophy for Children, and place-based learning to provide teachers with specific methods they can use to foster transformative environmental education.’Jennifer Bleazby, Senior Lecturer, School of Education, Society and Culture, Monash University, Australia.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Metacognition and Education Future Trends
Book SynopsisMetacognition is crucial to education in a changing world. The role of mobile applications, AI and global issues such as climate change make the need for developing learners with the ability to monitor and control their own thinking increasingly necessary. Metacognitive learners are learners who can draw on their own knowledge of their own thinking processes to optimise the conditions under which they learn best. Metacognitive learners are self-regulating and pro-active in motivating themselves to learn new skills. Metacognitive learners are strategic in terms of managing their own resources to get the best from every learning opportunity and to transfer that knowledge to new areas of work. This book is timely in demonstrating how metacognition research is addressing issues of importance in future education. The chapters are authored by an international group of scholars from four continents, who are experts in the field of metacognition and self regulation research. Drawing Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Understanding the role of mind wandering and mindfulness in creativity; 2. Who are the students in metacognition research in high school science education?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Nancy Fraser Social Justice and Education
The American scholar and activist Nancy Fraser has written about a wide range of issues in social and political theory, and is well-known for her philosophical perspectives on democratic theory and on feminist theory. Her work on justice and identity politics has been particularly widely cited, and she has also been active in developing a feminism for the 99%'. Although education has not been a direct focus for much of her work, her thinking has been widely disseminated within the critical study of education. This volume illustrates the way in which education researchers have taken up and developed Fraser's theories in the areas of alternative education, higher education, inclusion and disability, and the effects of neoliberalism upon public (state) education, as they ask how social justice within the education system can be enhanced. These insightful essays cover a range of countries and topics, as the authors work with Fraser's concepts, to argue for the development of a more equi

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of
Book SynopsisChildhood looms large in our understanding of human life, as a phase through which all adults have passed. Childhood is foundational to the development of selfhood, the formation of interests, values and skills and to the lifespan as a whole. Understanding what it is like to be a child, and what differences childhood makes, are thus essential for any broader understanding of the human condition. The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Childhood and Children is an outstanding reference source for the key topics, problems and debates in this crucial and exciting field and is the first collection of its kind. Comprising over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook is divided into five parts: Being a child Childhood and moral status Parents and children Children in society Children and the state.Questions covered include: What is a child? Is childhoodTrade Review"An excellent and timely collection. Individually the thirty-six chapters are authoritative and state of the art. Together they provide a comprehensive overview of the huge amount of recent philosophical work on children."Adam Swift, University of Warwick, UK. "This volume provides an extraordinarily helpful starting point for philosophically informed conversations about children and childhood. The five sections are easily navigable, and the thirty-six original essays cover a remarkably broad domain of questions. Anyone teaching or writing on children will find this book to be an essential resource."Tamar Schapiro, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USATable of ContentsList of contributors.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Undertaking Capstone Projects in Education
Book SynopsisUndertaking Capstone Projects in Education provides students with all of the information required to successfully design and complete a capstone project. Guiding the reader in a step-by-step process, this book covers how to create a question, select a topic of interest, and apply the best possible design solutions. Structured in a way that will help readers build their skills, chapters explore all aspects of the capstone project from the inception of the idea, to laying the foundations, designing the project, analysing the data, and presenting the findings. Filled with examples and written in a friendly and collaborative style, this key guide uses simple language and easy-to-understand examples to unpack complex research issues. This book is essential reading for students and anyone interested in undertaking a capstone project in the field of education. Trade Review"This book is a page-turner. At last we have a book that sets out a comprehensive range of useful issues in planning, doing and reporting a capstone project. The authors’ experiences of working on capstone projects shines clearly. Its positive style and graphics are first class for students and their supervisors: clear, down-to-earth, focused, practical and thought-provoking for every stage and type of capstone project. The advice is constructive, memorable and important. This book is a breath of fresh air, promoting and rewarding reflective practice. It should be the number one call for students doing capstone projects."Professor Keith Morrison, Vice-rector and Professor of Education, University of Saint Joseph, Macau, China"Undertaking Capstone Projects’ is an extremely valuable addition to education research. Supervisors everywhere will be thrilled to find an approach which brings together theory and practice for teachers and shows the huge benefits of evidence-based research. For teacher-researchers themselves, the book provides a self-study journey leading to research which applies evidence-based solutions to their work-related issues. Capstone projects are practical, flexible, and practice-based. I strongly recommend using this book as the key text for those embarking on research projects in education."Professor Elizabeth Rata, Director of Knowledge in Education Research Unit, University of Auckland, New Zealand"This is an excellent book for the early career researcher. Drs Burke and Dempsey have taken a really innovative fresh approach to education research methods for practitioners. Their book will fill the void missing in the current extensive range of publications for the students who are just about to embark on a research journey. At the early-stages students can be overwhelmed by the plethora of new language and ideas they encounter. By the time the novice researchers get to the end of this great book, they will know what phenomenology, mixed methods, quantitative analysis and much more are and where they fit in the big picture, leaving the new researcher ready to dig deeper and refine their own research journey." Dr Elaine Wilson, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, UKAt last, there is a comprehensive body of work on how to undertake capstone projects in education. This much-needed resource not only fills a gap in the literature but also has a place in addressing the knowledge gap of students and staff who seek to understand the purpose and process of a capstone.Dr Kelly-Ann Allen, School of Education, Monash University, AustraliaTable of Contents1.
