K-12 Case Studies for School Administrators: Problems, Issues, and Resources (Routledge Revivals)

Case studies enable aspiring administrators to refine their reaction skills as well as their critical-thinking skills by responding to a multitude of problems in a short time. Originally published in 1998, the case studies in this book provide a broad-based overview of the kinds of real problems that schools were facing at the time. The problems administrators face on a daily basis vary in scope and complexity. Short cases provide opportunities to address, analyse, and resolve problems encountered in the real working environment. Students must actively engage in a process of inquiry and problem solving. This book can be used over several years according to the case studies selected for class use. This is a multicourse, multiyear action case-study text.

"K for the Way": DJ Rhetoric and Literacy for 21st Century Writing Studies

“K for the Way” explores writing, rhetoric, and literacy from the perspective of the Hip Hop DJ. Todd Craig, a DJ himself, establishes and investigates the function of DJ rhetoric and literacy, illuminating the DJ as a fruitful example for (re)envisioning approaches to writing, research, and analysis in contemporary educational settings. Because it is widely recognized that the DJ was the catalyst for the creation of Hip Hop culture, this book begins a new conversation in which Hip Hop DJs introduce ideas about poetics and language formation through the modes, practices, and techniques they engage in on a daily basis. Using material from a larger qualitative research study that illustrates the Hip Hop DJ as a twenty-first-century new media reader, writer, and literary critic, Craig blends interviews from prominent and influential DJs in the Hip Hop community with narrative and interdisciplinary scholarship from writing studies, Hip Hop studies, African American studies, urban education, and ethnomusicology. The voices of DJs sit front and center, presenting a revolutionary conversation about writing and communication in the twenty-first century. Weaving Craig’s life experiences with important discussions of racial literacies, “K for the Way” is a layered and utterly singular exploration of culture, identity, and literacy in America.

K-theory and Homological Algebra: A Seminar Held at the Razmadze Mathematical Institute in Tbilisi, Georgia, USSR 1987-88 (Lecture Notes in Mathematics #1437)

K–12 Education as a Hermeneutic Adventurous Endeavor: Toward an Educational Way of Thinking (Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education #17)

Considering the role of compulsory mass education and schooling in a democratic society, this book introduces an alternative vision for K-12 education as an "adventurous endeavour." Grounded in a strong theoretical framework, Yosef-Hassidim reveals the negative impact of instrumentalization of schools: when education is considered a social and political instrument, it serves dominant social forces’ interests rather than students’ or humanity as a whole. Offering conceptual and pragmatic frameworks to limit political influence on schooling, the author proposes a new hermeneutical structure that restores education’s agency and separates it from external social forces, and provides the foundation for regarding K-12 education as a sovereign social sphere in its own right.

Kahn at Penn: Transformative Teacher of Architecture (Routledge Research in Architecture)

Louis I. Kahn is widely known as an architect of powerful buildings. But although much has been said about his buildings, almost nothing has been written about Kahn as an unconventional teacher and philosopher whose influence on his students was far-reaching. Teaching was vitally important for Kahn, and through his Master’s Class at the University of Pennsylvania, he exerted a significant effect on the future course of architectural practice and education. This book is a critical, in-depth study of Kahn’s philosophy of education and his unique pedagogy. It is the first extensive and comprehensive investigation of the Kahn Master’s Class as seen through the eyes of his graduate students at Penn.

Kann Therapie Rückfälle verhindern?: Metaanalytische Befunde zur Wirksamkeit der Sexualstraftäterbehandlung (Studien und Materialien zum Straf- und Massregelvollzug #22)

Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Behandlung von verurteilten Sexualstraftätern. Im Rahmen einer Metaanalyse soll der Forschungsstand zu rückfallpräventiver Wirksamkeit der Straftäterbehandlung zusammengefaßt werden. Im Zentrum der Analyse steht einerseits, inwieweit vorliegende Behandlungsangebote für diese Tätergruppe zielführend sind, andererseits soll versucht werden, spezifische Aspekte erfolgreicher Behandlung zu isolieren.Der Autor nimmt eine allgemeine Charakterisierung von Sexualstraftätern, der Prävelanz sexueller Delinquenz und der Rückfälligkeit sowie der Folgen für die Opfer sexueller Übergriffe vor, um einen Überblick über den Gegenstandsbereich zu gewinnen und die Notwendigkeit eines angemessenen Umgangs mit Stratätern zu dokumentieren. In der darauf folgenden Konzentration auf behandlungsrelevante Charakteristika von Sexualstraftätern und den verfügbaren allgemeinen Behandlungskonzepten sollen die Grundlagen der anschließenden Wirksamkeitsüberprüfung solcher Maßnahmen gelegt werden. Es erfolgt die Darstellung einer eigenen umfassenden metaanalytischen Integration deutscher und internationaler rückfallbezogener Wirksamkeitsuntersuchungen.

Kant's Philosophy: A Study for Educators

James Scott Johnston's incisive study draws on a holistic reading of Kant: one that views him as developing and testing a complete system (theoretical, practical, historical and anthropological) with education as a vital component. As such, the book begins with an extensive overview of Kant's chief theoretical work (the Critique of Pure Reason), and from that overview distils crucial discussions (the role of practical reason; the claims of the third antinomy) for his moral theory. An extended discussion of Kant's moral and political theories and the place of pedagogy in it follow, with attention to all of Kant's important moral works as well as his chief religious work, Religion within the Bounds of Mere Reason. A discussion of culture and character follows, chiefly through a discussion of Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment and Anthropology from a Pragmatic Standpoint, together with certain lectures and published essays on history and politics. Finally, an extensive discussion of Kant's published works on education, together with only recently published letters and announcements (in English), is provided. This culminates in Johnston's estimation of what a Kantian education, systematically conceived, might look like: an education that is attentive to theoretical, moral, cultural-historical, and pedagogic domains of Kant's thinking.

Karen Barad as Educator: Agential Realism and Education (SpringerBriefs in Education)

This book is about becoming touched and moved by Karen Barad’s agential realism. Karen Barad as Educator is not biographical. It is not about Barad. There is much to be learned about teaching and education research through the human and other-than-human narrative characters in Barad’s writings and way of life. Reading this book is about becoming entangled with, and being inspired by, a passionate yearning for a radical reconfiguration of education in all its settings and phases (e.g., day-care centres, schools, colleges, universities, but also homes, museums or therapy rooms). This book will appeal to lecturers, teachers, artists, therapists, parents and grandparents, funders of education research, organisers of educational events, as well as detached youth workers. In short, this book will speak to anyone interested in the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of educational encounters and who is interested in alternatives to the dominant neoliberal national curricula, educational policies and humanist teaching, research, and conference agendas. The book aims to offer a gripping account for educators to be inspired by the invigorating and elusive philosophy of agential realism with a specific focus on iterative performative practices that profoundly matter to what counts as knowledge, teaching, learning and response-able education science.
