Book Synopsis Sie möchten mit Ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern einen persönlichen Beitrag zur Erhaltung der Insektenvielfalt oder der Biodiversität insgesamt leisten? Sie möchten dem Klimawandel durch sinnvolle Gestaltung ihres Umfeldes oder Verhaltens aktiv begegnen? Sie sorgen sich um die Belastungsgrenzen unseres Planeten? Vielleicht möchten Sie mit Ihren Schülerinnen und Schülern auch konkret die geeigneten Kräuter, Gewürze und Gemüse für das Essen oder den eigenen Garten auswählen, die Tiere und Pflanzen ihrer Umgebung wirklich kennen und wertschätzen, als Bildungswert und Teil unserer Kultur begreifen? Vielleicht wünschen Sie sich in unserem Alltag deutlich mehr grüne Technologien? Der Mangel an Kenntnissen und Bereitschaften zur Erhaltung der natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen auf unserer Erde ist empirisch belegt. Es fehlt an konkreten Fähigkeiten und Wissen im Umgang mit dem Lebendigen, die man sich im Nachhinein gern auch durch Schulbildung gewünscht hätte. Nutzen wir die Chancen zur Veränderung der Unterrichtkultur in den Naturwissenschaften! Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) ist mittlerweile ein wichtiges Leitbild in der derzeitigen Bildungslandschaft. Machen wir uns die positiven Erfahrungen aus zahlreichen Unterrichtssituationen zum Draußen–Lernen, oder - um ein modernes Schlagwort zu benutzen - der Outdoor Education, zunutze. Beziehen wir bei der Wahl der geeigneten Lernorte zum Kompetenzerwerb die authentischen natürlichen und gesellschaftlichen Räume stärker als bisher in den Regelunterricht ein. Machen wir das Draußen-Lernen „ortüblich“ und streiten wir weniger darum, ob dies nun Outdoor-Learning, außerschulisches Lernen, Schulgarten und Schulgelände, Exkursion oder Lerngang genannt wird. Die Kinder und Jugendlichen und zugleich Sie als Lehrkräfte didaktisch zu bereichern – dafür eröffnet das Buch in Reflexion jahrelanger Bildungsprozesse draußen sehr konkrete Angebote.

Springer Living in Worlds of Music: A View of Education and Values
Book SynopsisInformed by her in-depth ethnomusical knowledge, the result of detailed fieldwork, Mans’s book is about musical worlds and how we as people inhabit them. The book asserts that an understanding of our musical worlds can be a transformative educational tool that could have a significant role to play in multicultural music and arts education. She explores the way in which musical expression, with its myriad cultural variations, reveals much about identity and cultural norms, and shows how particular musical sounds are aesthetically related to these norms. The author goes further to suggest that similar systems can be detected across cultures, while each world remains colored by a distinctive soundscape. Mans also looks at the way each cultural soundscape is a symbolic manifestation of a society’s collective cognition, sorting musical behavior and sounds into clusters and patterns that fulfill each society’s requirements. She probes the fact that in today’s globalized and mobile world, as people move from one society to another, cross-cultural acts and hybrids result in a number of new aesthetics. Finally, in addition to three personal narratives by musicians from different continents, the author has invited scholars from diverse specializations and locations to comment on different sections of the book, opening up a critical dialogue with voices from different parts of the globe. Musical categorization, identity, values, aesthetic evaluation, creativity, curriculum, assessment and teacher education are some of the issues tackled in this manner.Table of ContentsChapter 1 Why a musical world? 1.1 Theoretical Background 1.1.1 Cultural sensitivities 1.1.2 Music emanates from communities of music practice drawn upon cultural landscapes 1.2 Educational theory principles Chapter 2 Thinking music: Processes of musical cognition 2.1 Socio-cultural processes of musical thinking 2.1.1 Classifying musical sounds into categories 2.1.2 Recognition, identification, selection, and anticipation 2.1.3 Memory 2.1.4 Development of templates 2.1.5 Cultural immersion and creative thinking 2.1.6 Understanding symbols and value systems A Musician’s Narrative by Koji Matsonobu Chapter 3 A functioning musical world 3.1 Social musical organization 3.2 Musical Practice and Behavior 3.3 Musical systems 3.3.1 Macro-organization determined by society and its systems Counterpoint and interlock by Magne Espeland 3.3.2 Meso-organization into Repertoires Counterpoint and interlock by Emmanuelle Olivier 3.3.3 Micro-organizatio Counterpoint and interlock by Trevor Wiggins 3.3.4 Framework with its parameters and rules Counterpoint and Interlock by Rena Upitis A Musician’s Narrative by Jackson Kaujeua Chapter 4 Inhabiting a Musical World 4.1 Identity 4.1.1 Interpretations of cultural and musical identities Counterpoint and Interlock by Even Ruud 4.2 Normative and aesthetic values invoked by musical worlds 4.2.1 Values and music 4.2.2 Aesthetic evaluations 4.3 Meaning 4.4 Perspectives on musical worlds located in complex cultural-political settings 4.4.1 African metropolitan versus rural worlds by Meki Nzewi (South Africa and Nigeria) 4.4.2 Multicultural Europe by Eva Fock (Denmark) 4.4.3 Modern and traditional Asia by Koji Matsunobu(Japan) 4.4.4 A South American melting pot by Alda Oliveira (Brazil) 4.4.5 Socio-cultural contexts of music education: One North American perspective by Kari Veblen (Canada) Chapter 5 Educating in living musical worlds * 5.1 The relation of arts education to cultural musical worlds. 5.2 Musical development in classrooms? 5.3 Cultural intersections or collisions? 5.4 Creativity and issues of continuity and change Counterpoint and interlock by Boh Wah Leung 5.5 Music as social practice and normative education through music 5.6 Suggestions for enhancing musical learning processes within musical worlds Counterpoint and interlock by Roger Avenstru 5.7 Assessment issues in complex musical worlds Counterpoint and interlock by Regina Murphy 5.8 Teacher education A Musician’s Narrative by Eva Sæther Chapter 6.

The University of Chicago Press Trying Biology
Book SynopsisShows the importance of timing: the Scopes trial occurred at a crucial moment in the history of biology textbook. This title explores the development of biology textbooks leading up to the trial and the ways in which the textbook industry created new books and presented them as responses to the trial.Trade Review"Adam R. Shapiro has situated the Scopes trial within a much broader context than any scholar before him. Trying Biology also demonstrates how ideologues have used differing interpretations of the Scopes trial to advance their agendas. By situating the trial within this much broader framework, the author has significantly enlarged our understanding of the conversations between religion and science in twentieth-century America."

The University of Chicago Press Manufacturing Morals
Book SynopsisMaking unprecedented use of his position as a Harvard Business School faculty member, this title takes readers inside HBS in order to draw vivid parallels between the socialization of faculty and of students. It reveals the role of silence and ambiguity in HBS' process of codifying morals and business values.Trade Review"In this first-rate organizational ethnography, Michel Anteby describes the ethos of a premier institution and how it shapes the worldviews and moral rules-in-use of its faculty, staff, and students." -Robert Jackall, author of Moral Mazes: The World of Corporate Managers "Michel Anteby's spare but well-chosen words offer an up-close and personal look at the inner workings of what many call the West Point of American capitalism.... Manufacturing Morals is a deft reimagining of organizational silence as sometimes a message, a provocation, a comfort, or an excuse." -John Van Maanen, MIT"

The University of Chicago Press The New Math
Book SynopsisAn era of sweeping cultural change in America, the postwar years saw the rise of beatniks and hippies, the birth of feminism, and the release of the first video game. This book examines the rise and fall of the new math as a marker of the period's political and social ferment.Trade Review"Phillips's exposition of what the new math meant and how, in practice, it was taught are definite strengths of his book. He reveals unexpected dimensions of the controversy it generated. Its champions in the classroom put more stress on forming free, rational citizens than on raising the level of technical competence in America, while the opposition came not only from defenders of rote learning, but equally from mathematicians who focused on the instrumental value of mathematics for science and technology." (Theodore M. Porter, University of California, Los Angeles)"

The University of Chicago Press Trying Biology
Book SynopsisFeatures the history of biology textbook publishing, education reforms in Tennessee, and progressive school reform across the country. This volume sheds light on the trial and the historical relationship of science and religion in America. It explores how the textbook industry created fresh books and presented them as "responses" to the trial.Trade Review"A masterful reevaluation of the infamous 'Monkey Trial' of 1925.... Engagingly written.... Beyond its important insights into how issues in the textbook industry and matters of curriculum policy shaped the Scopes trial, Trying Biology offers an oft-needed reminder of the need to interrogate critically the claims of historical actors."

The University of Chicago Press Professing Literature An Institutional History
Book SynopsisAttempts to unearth the ideas and debates that created the literature department as we know it. This book shows that various conflicts of our culture wars echo and recycle controversies over how literature should be taught. It also presents a history of literary pedagogy and a critical classic.Trade Review"Both E. D. Hirsch and Allan Bloom share...a nostalgia for a not very closely examined past in which things were better. Gerald Graff's Professing Literature is extremely important, partly because it tells us a good deal about the realities of this supposedly better time....Graff's book is more consequential than Bloom's because it addresses the pedagogical questions and situates them in a fascinating narrative of how literature has actually been taught in this country for the past century and a half." - Robert Scholes, College English "Graff's history...is a pathbreaking investigation showing how our institutions shape literary thought and proposing how they might be changed." - The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism"

The University of Chicago Press Teaching Evolution in a Creation Nation History
Book SynopsisNo fight over what gets taught in American classrooms is more heated than the battle over humanity's origins. For more than a century we have argued about evolutionary theory and creationism (and its successor theory, intelligent design), yet we seem no closer to a resolution than we were in Darwin's day. In this thoughtful examination of how we teach origins, historian Adam Laats and philosopher Harvey Siegel offer crucial new ways to think not just about the evolution debate but how science and religion can make peace in the classroom. Laats and Siegel agree with most scientists: creationism is flawed, as science. But, they argue, students who believe it nevertheless need to be accommodated in public school science classes. Scientific or not, creationism maintains an important role in American history and culture as a point of religious dissent, a sustained form of protest that has weathered a century of broadand often dramaticsocial changes. At the same time, evolutionary theory

Columbia University Press A Survival Guide to the Misinformation Age
Book SynopsisA step-by-step strategy for protecting ourselves against the phony claims, trendy pseudoscience, and sloppy thinking that permeate our world.Trade ReviewA Survival Guide to the Misinformation Age is a no-holds-barred paean to the scientific mode of thinking. Helfand's wide-ranging, interdisciplinary, humorously cynical intellect comes through at every turn. -- J. Craig Wheeler, University of Texas at Austin A Survival Guide for the Misinformation Age is an impassioned plea for science literacy. Given the state of the world today, in which scientifically underinformed voters elect scientifically illiterate politicians, David Helfand has written the right book at the right time with the right message. Read it now. The future of our civilization may depend on it. -- Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist, American Museum of Natural History David Helfand's Survival Guide to the Misinformation Age gives readers a chance to spend time with one this country's clearest and best critical thinkers. Helfand channels Steven Pinker's ability to dissect language with John Alan Paulos's ability to explain numbers with Richard Dawkins' ability to explain our existence (to obtain food, to avoid being food, and to reproduce) with George Carlin's ability to make us laugh. Using personal anecdotes (he's a Red Sox fan), Helfand teaches us how to think through questions as diverse as why the moon doesn't make us lunatics to why it only takes twenty-three people to have a 50:50 chance that two will have the same birthday. A real pleasure. -- Paul Offit, University of Pennsylvania Important and timely. Library Journal Helfand's work is an admirable response to a long-standing problem of sloppy thinking. Publishers Weekly Helfand is a man brimming with incredible insights on the universe. Dave's Universe A must-read for anyone presuming to call themselves a scientist and a should-read for anyone just trying to make sense of the overwhelming volume of data and real and concocted 'proofs' of nearly everything that spews forth from the Internet on demand. This book provides a road map for teaching students how to both celebrate science and how to view their primary source of information with skepticism and caution. Every science teacher should read this book. -- John Ziegler NSTA Recommends For those with an arts and humanities background, this book offers many valuable lessons... For everyone else it provides a vital antidote to the ills of misinformation by teaching systematic and rigorous scientific reasoning. -- Marina Gerner Times Literary Supplement Highly recommended.

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Grounded in Hahn's long engagement with teaching in a range of settings, Arousing Sense demonstrates a deep commitment to radical pedagogy, which is apparent in the accessibility, generosity, and care of her offerings. These recipes take seriously the well-being of both teacher and student, with exercises framed in terms of their ease, adaptability, and potency for generative, transformational experience." --Composition Studies"A wonderful collection of recipes for workshopping sensory experience, to be realized sometimes by individuals, often through group interaction. The recipes will be useful to leaders in any arts area; in teaching of writing, not just creative writing but also composition; in working with any group where an exploratory, collaborative, fun atmosphere is desirable; as well as in the specific ethnographic application that Hahn emphasizes."--Fred Everett Maus, coeditor of Oxford Handbook of Music and Queerness

The author asks hard questions about barometers we should use in inclusion studies and projects a critical lens on many interventions focused on underrepresentation in the fields of computing. Brava for this work. The world needs more of these social justice actors!"--Jane Margolis, author of Stuck in the Shallow End: Education, Race, and Computing "Transformative pedagogies are needed in today’s efforts to realize digital inclusion for all. COMPUGIRLS showcases compelling examples of how it can and should be done.
