The Struggle for Teacher Education: International Perspectives on Governance and Reforms (Reinventing Teacher Education)
by Tom Are Trippestad Anja Swennen Tobias WerlerReform of teacher education is en vogue worldwide today due to the widespread belief that teacher education has the power to change traditional modes of schooling, educating new teachers who will be capable of improving the knowledge standard of children and boost the economic power of nations. The Struggle for Teacher Education brings together conceptual, comparative and empirical studies from Australia, England, Finland, The Netherlands, Norway, South Africa and South America to explore the ways in which professional education has been positioned in a reactive mode. The contributors discuss how teacher education is a contested division in higher education and look at how current reform efforts may limit the potential and work of teacher education, highlighting why this point needs more attention. Moreover, the collection reveals how teacher education's authorship on teacher professionalism may be weakened or strengthened by current reform drives and offers alternative models on how to rethink reforming teacher education.

The Struggle for the History of Education (Foundations and Futures of Education)
by Gary McCullochThe history of education is a contested field of study, and has represented a site of struggle for the past century of its development. It is highly relevant to an understanding of broader issues in history, education and society, and yet has often been regarded as being merely peripheral rather than central to them. Over the years the history of education has passed through a number of approaches, more recently engaging with a different areas such as curriculum, teaching and gender, although often losing sight of a common cause. In this book McCulloch contextualizes the struggle for educational history, explaining and making suggestions for the future on a number of topics, including: finding a set of common causes for the field as a whole engaging more effectively with social sciences and humanities while maintaining historical integrity forming a rationale of missions and goals for the field defining the overall content of the subject, its priorities and agendas and reassessing the relevance of educational history to current educational and social issues. Throughout this book the origins of unresolved debates and tensions about the nature of the field of history of education are discussed and key examples are analysed to present a new view of future development. The Struggle for the History of Education demonstrates the key changes and continuities in the field and its relationship with education, history and the social sciences over the past century. It also reveals how the history of education can build on an enhanced sense of its own past, and the common and integrating mission that makes it distinctive, interesting and important for a wide range of scholars from different backgrounds.

The Struggle to Reform Our Colleges
by Derek BokWhy efforts to improve American higher educational attainment haven't worked, and where to go from hereDuring the first decade of this century, many commentators predicted that American higher education was about to undergo major changes that would be brought about under the stimulus of online learning and other technological advances. Toward the end of the decade, the president of the United States declared that America would regain its historic lead in the education of its workforce within the next ten years through a huge increase in the number of students earning “quality” college degrees.Several years have elapsed since these pronouncements were made, yet the rate of progress has increased very little, if at all, in the number of college graduates or the nature and quality of the education they receive. In The Struggle to Reform Our Colleges, Derek Bok seeks to explain why so little change has occurred by analyzing the response of America’s colleges; the influence of students, employers, foundations, accrediting organizations, and government officials; and the impact of market forces and technological innovation. In the last part of the book, Bok identifies a number of initiatives that could improve the performance of colleges and universities. The final chapter examines the process of change itself and describes the strategy best calculated to quicken the pace of reform and enable colleges to meet the challenges that confront them.

Struggles for Equity in Education: The selected works of Mel Ainscow
by Mel AinscowIn the World Library of Educationalists series, international experts compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands and see how their work contributes to the development of the field. Spanning Mel Ainscow’s accomplished 30 year international career in education, the texts in this book trace his efforts to find ways of fostering more equitable forms of education. This has involved a series of struggles as he has experimented with different approaches - in a variety of contexts - to find new possibilities for responding to learner diversity. Over the years this has related to a variety of headline themes, starting from special education, through to integration, on to inclusive education, and then, more recently, educational equity. The readings have been chosen to illustrate the changes that have occurred in Ainscow’s thinking and practices and a short introduction is provided for each chapter that is intended to help readers to understand the significance of what is presented and how this relates to other chapters in the book. The writings in this text reinforce the idea that the promotion of equity in schools is essentially a social process that has to occur within particular contexts.

The Struggles of Identity, Education, and Agency in the Lives of Undocumented Students: The Burden of Hyperdocumentation (PDF)
by Aurora ChangThis book weaves together two distinct and powerfully related sources of knowledge: the author’s journey and transition from a once undocumented immigrant from Guatemala to a hyperdocumented academic, and five years of on-going national research on the identity, education, and agency of undocumented college students. In interlacing both personal experiences with findings from her empirical qualitative research, Chang explores practical and theoretical pedagogical, curricular, and policy-related discussions around issues that impact undocumented immigrants while provide compelling rich narrative vignettes. Collectively, these findings support the argument that undocumented students can cultivate an empowering self-identity by performing the role of infallible cultural citizen.

Struktur und Effizienz berufsvorbereitender Maßnahmen: Eine Längsschnittuntersuchung von Förderungslehrgängen für noch nicht berufsreife Jugendliche (Forschungsberichte des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen #3044)
by Wolfgang KokoskaDas Problem der Jugendarbeitslosigkeit, insbesondere des Übergangs von der Schule in die Arbeitswelt, ist zu Beginn der 80er Jahre auch in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland weiter hin virulent. Sowohl in ökonomischer, politischer als auch pädagogischer Dimension sind die strukturellen Merkmale der Ausbildungs- und Berufsnot Jugendlicher noch immer aktuell. Ist zwar einerseits eine gewisse Entspannung insofern einge treten, als die rapide, krisenhafte Ausweitung der Betroffen heit im Verlauf der 70er Jahre zum Stillstand und Rückgang gekommen ist, so kann andererseits immer noch nicht die Rede von einer Bewältigung oder gar dem Ende jugendlicher Berufs startschwierigkeiten sein. Nach dem Tenor gegenwärtiger Wirtschaftsprognosen ist vielmehr davon auszugehen, daß auch noch in absehbarer Zeit beschäftigungs- und arbeitsmarkt intervenierende sowie schul- und berufsbildungspolitisch orientierte Instrumentarien und Strategien, diesem uner wünschten Phänomen gegenzusteuern, erforderlich sein werden. Zumal die Nahtstelle des Übergangs vom allgemeinbildenden in den beruflichen Sektor bedarf auch fernerhin besonderer Zu wendung, markiert sie doch nach wie vor für einen beträcht lichen Teil von Schulabgängern eine nachhaltige Barriere zu qualifizierter Berufsausbildung und beruflicher Tätigkeit.
Strukturierungen von Termen und Gleichungen: Theorie und Empirie des Gebrauchs algebraischer Zeichen durch Experten und Novizen (Freiburger Empirische Forschung in der Mathematikdidaktik)
by Christian RüedeChristian Rüede geht davon aus, dass Schwierigkeiten der Schülerinnen und Schüler beim algebraischen Umformen auf Probleme beim Strukturieren von Termen und Gleichungen zurückzuführen sind. Er verschiebt den Fokus von der Struktur auf die Strukturierung eines Terms und einer Gleichung und stellt so die individuellen Lern- und Denkwege in den Vordergrund. Der Autor legt einen theoretischen Rahmen vor, um den Begriff der Strukturierung zu fundieren und unterschiedliche, empirisch basierte Kategorien von Strukturierungen begrifflich zu fassen. Ausgehend von diesen theoretischen und empirischen Betrachtungen stellt er eine Hypothese auf, wie sich bei einem Individuum das Strukturieren von Termen und Gleichungen entwickelt.

Stuck on a Loop (Rollercoaster Series)
by Paula NagelThis is a focus on intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviour, linked to exam anxiety. Everyone knows Gemma always gets thing 'right' and is top of the class.
