Education Policy and Realist Social Theory: Primary Teachers, Child-Centred Philosophy and the New Managerialism (Routledge Studies in Critical Realism) By Robert Wilmott
2002 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0415268397 | PDF | 1 MB
In Europe welfare state provision has been subjected to 'market forces'. Over the last two decades, the framework of economic competitiveness has become the defining aim of education, to be achieved by new managerialist techniques and mechanisms. This book thoughtfully and persuasively argues against this new vision of education, and offers a different, more useful potential approach.This in-depth major study will be of great interest to researchers in the sociology of education, education policy, social theory, organization and management studies, and also to professionals concerned about the deleterious impact of current education policy on children's learning and welfare.

Education Policy: Process, Themes and Impact (Leadership for Learning) By H. Stevenson
2006 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 0415377714 | PDF | 1 MB
The study of educational leadership makes little sense unless it is in relation to who the leaders are, how they are leading, what is being led, and with what effect. Based on the premise that learning is at the heart of leadership and that leaders themselves should be learners, the Leadership for Learning series explores the connections between educational leadership, policy, curriculum, human resources and accountability. Each book in the series approaches its subject matter through a three-fold structure of process, themes and impact. Series Editors - Clive Dimmock, Mark Brundrett and Les Bell As global pressures focus increasing attention on the outcomes of education policy and on their implications for economic prosperity and social citizenship, the experience of each individual learner is decisively shaped by the wider policy environment. However, there is often an underdeveloped understanding of how education policy is formed, what drives it and how it impacts on schools and colleges. This book explicitly makes these connections and links them to the wider challenges of educational leadership in a modern context. Education Policyis divided into three sections, which examine: the development of policy at the levels of the nation state and individual institutions the forces that shape policies with emphasis on human capital theory, citizenship and social justice and accountability research-based case studies highlighting the application of policy in a range of situations. The bookprovides a valuable resource for students, practitioners, middle managers and educational leaders in all sectors, both in the UK and internationally, who are engaged on masters and doctoral degrees, or undertaking leadership training and preparation programmes.

Educating the Net Generation: How to Engage Students in the 21st Century By Bob Pletka EdD
2007 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 1595800239 | PDF | 7 MB
In examining the unique characteristics of the Net Generation, this book addresses the national problem of escalating high-school dropout rates and student disengagement and offers solutions as to how to best involve students of the millennial generation.Besides contrasting this generation's educational needs and expectations to those of their Gen-X parents and Baby Boomer grandparents, the narrative examines why many students resist participating in formalized education in schools and drop out. Subsequent chapters featuring student interviews and photographs synthesize the perspectives of current high schoolers as to their experiences, beliefs, and thoughts on learning while a parallel set of parent interviews, surveys, and photographs reveal what factors parents feel are important in their child's education and how they would like to see schools engage their children in learning. Recommendations for changes in school policy and financial investment critical to turning the situation around are also included, along with an inventory/checklist for parents, teachers, and school administrators to determine if their individual school environment has what it takes to keep students motivated and engaged.

Educating the Muslims of America By Yvonne Y Haddad, Farid Senzai, Jane I Smith
2009 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 0195375203 | PDF | 2 MB
As the U.S. Muslim population continues to grow, Islamic schools are springing up across the American landscape. Especially since the events of 9/11, many have become concerned about what kind of teaching is going on behind the walls of these schools, and whether it might serve to foster the seditious purposes of Islamist extremism. The essays collected in this volume look behind those walls and discover both efforts to provide excellent instruction following national educational standards and attempts to inculcate Islamic values and protect students from what are seen as the dangers of secularism and the compromising values of American culture. Also considered here are other dimensions of American Islamic education, including: new forms of institutions for youth and college-age Muslims; home-schooling; the impact of educational media on young children; and the kind of training being offered by Muslim chaplains in universities, hospitals, prisons, and other such settings. Finally the authors look at the ways in which Muslims are rising to the task of educating the American public about Islam in the face of increasing hostility and prejudice. This timely volume is the first dedicated entirely to the neglected topic of Islamic education.

Educating for Community Cohesion: Promoting Tolerance and Ethnocultural Empathy (Palgrave Studies in Global Citizenship Education and Democracy) by Wendy A. Booth
English | November 16, 2025 | ISBN: 3032064511 | 221 pages | PDF, EPUB | 2.76 Mb
This book demonstrates how tolerance and ethnocultural empathy can be taught in secondary school citizenship classrooms through the application of sociology and social psychology. Combining theoretical, pedagogical, and policy perspectives, it presents the TEEMA (Tolerance and Ethnocultural Empathy for Mutual Acceptance) Resources and reports on mixed methods case study research in two contrasting Welsh schools. The findings show how targeted lessons on topics such as prejudice, labelling theory, in group/out group dynamics and media influence can move pupils from 'thin' tolerance (peaceful coexistence) towards 'thick' tolerance (empathy, mutuality and celebration of diversity). This interdisciplinary approach offers practical, transferable strategies and resources for educators, policymakers and youth practitioners seeking to foster inclusion, reduce prejudice and strengthen community cohesion - in the UK and beyond.

Ecosystem Ecology: A New Synthesis (Ecological Reviews) By David G. Raffaelli, Christopher L. J. Frid
2010 | 172 Pages | ISBN: 0521513499 | PDF | 2 MB
What can ecological science contribute to the sustainable management and conservation of the natural systems that underpin human well-being? Bridging the natural, physical and social sciences, this book shows how ecosystem ecology can inform the ecosystem services approach to environmental management. The authors recognise that ecosystems are rich in linkages between biophysical and social elements that generate powerful intrinsic dynamics. Unlike traditional reductionist approaches, the holistic perspective adopted here is able to explain the increasing range of scientific studies that have highlighted unexpected consequences of human activity, such as the lack of recovery of cod populations on the Grand Banks despite nearly two decades of fishery closures, or the degradation of Australia's fertile land through salt intrusion. Written primarily for researchers and graduate students in ecology and environmental management, it provides an accessible discussion of some of the most important aspects of ecosystem ecology and the potential relationships between them.
