Emerald Publishing Limited Understanding Children's Informal Learning:
Book SynopsisLearning and personal development are integral to being a person, and learning and teaching are integral to life as a social being. Understanding Children’s Informal Learning presents children’s informal learning out-of-school and explores how this knowledge can enhance teaching and learning practice in the classroom. The authors focus on the richness of children’s everyday learning, and in what ways children, teachers and schools can work to bring more of the everyday learning strengths that all children have into the interactional framework of the classroom. Offering practical applications for teachers and other education professionals, the chapters work to ensure children’s voices are heard and actively influence understandings of learning, so that out-of-school learning is legitimised as a critical constituent of in-school learning. Addressing the need to provide a strong ‘student voice’ component and strategies to support children’s learning both in-school and out-of-school, Understanding Children’s Informal Learning furthers comprehensive education research, policy, and practice.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction Chapter 2. The richness of children’s lives Chapter 3. Revealing children’s informal and everyday learning Chapter 4. Conceptions and dimensions of children’s informal learning Chapter 5. Intergenerational learning Chapter 6. Changing understandings of informal learning Chapter 7. Teachers learning about children’s learning Chapter 8. Expansive conceptions of informal and everyday learning Chapter 9. Conclusion

Emerald Publishing Limited Mentoring Within and Beyond Academia: Achieving
Book SynopsisMentoring Within and Beyond Academia considers the role and value of mentoring within and beyond higher education contexts. Centred on five mentoring conversations around SDG-related topics such as quality education, gender equality, climate action and sustainable cities and communities, chapters showcase the link between professional academic development and its impact beyond campus walls. Beginning with an introduction that highlights the continued relevance of mentoring in a pandemic-transformed world, the authors offer several scenarios to facilitate impactful mentoring practice. The ‘flipping’ of roles places the academic in the shoes of the learner/mentee, allowing them to imagine the vulnerable positions from which learners engage. By making the mentoring process more transparent, Mentoring Within and Beyond Academia offers suggestions on how to support a fuller and more equitable organizational learning culture in universities, in line with universities’ ambition to respond to current, anticipated, and not-yet-known needs in society. Fitting within the diverse and multidisciplinary field of Higher Education Studies, this is also of interest to readers with an academic background in business/leadership and organizational learning as well as to broader, non-academic audiences.Table of ContentsIntroduction: The continued relevance of mentoring in academia; Lia Blaj-Ward Chapter 1. Adaptive mentoring for inclusive quality education: Meeting individuals in transition at their point of need; Bongi Bangeni, Carla Fourie, and June Pym Chapter 2.
