Academics in Exile


Book Description

Restrictions on academic freedom, persecution and armed conflict have forced many scholars into exile. So far, the professional trajectories of these scholars and their contributions to knowledge exchange have not been studied comprehensively. The contributors to this volume address the situations and networks of scholars in exile, the challenges they face in their host countries and the opportunities they use. These issues are highly relevant to discussions about the moral economies of higher education institutions and support programs. Although the contributions largely focus on Germany as a host country, they also offer telling examples of forced mobility in the Global South, including both contemporary and historical perspectives.

Formative and Shared Assessment to Promote Global University Learning


Book Description

Formative and shared assessment (F&SA) implies a radical change in the way in which we understand the meaning and function of the assessment of university learning. In this sense, assessment is learning: it is not only about what the student learns but also about how the student learns. This means that any learning task involves making students aware of what and how they learn and how this learning can be used successfully in the future. Formative and Shared Assessment to Promote Global University Learning offers an updated and comprehensive review of F&SA in university teaching from an international perspective. In this regard, this publication provides an update of the concepts and approaches to F&SA and suggests a review of the methods, techniques, and instruments of F&SA as well as the conditions of validity and reliability to garner high quality. Covering topics such as feminist pedagogies, learning-oriented tasks, and student engagement, this premier reference source is an essential resource for educational administration, libraries, educators of K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, government officials, researchers, and academicians.




Cuestiones Fundamentales de la Educacion Cristiana


Book Description

Para evitar la cautividad cultural, los fundamentos de la educaci—n cristiana deben ser repensados por cada generaci—n. De no hacerlo, dice el autor, los educadores cristianos Çcorren el riesgo de perpetuar ideas y pr‡cticas anticuadas, ajenas al evangelioÈ. ÇAl explorar con criterio los diversos fundamentos que han predominado y predominan en el pensamiento evangŽlicoÈ, continœa el autor, Çlos educadores pueden enfrentar mejor las necesidades de hoy y los retos del futuroÈ. En Cuestiones fundamentales de la educaci—n cristiana, el autor mismo se entrega a este proceso de evaluaci—n cr'tica, con importantes resultados. El autor llama a los educadores evangŽlicos a Çreafirmar las verdades b'blicasÈ, que constituyen la Çautoridad esencial para nuestra teor'a y pr‡cticaÈ, y a Çincorporar las verdades de otras disciplinasÈ, proceso que tiene que estar Çsujeto a la continua autoridad de la Palabra de DiosÈ.




Learning Disabilities


Book Description

Learning disability is a classification that includes several disorders in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner. Depending on the type and severity of the disability, interventions may be used to help the individual learn strategies that will foster future success. Some interventions can be quite simplistic, while others are intricate and complex. This book deserves a wide audience; it will be beneficial not only for teachers and parents struggling with attachment or behavior issues, but it will also benefit health care professionals and therapists working directly with special needs such as sensory integration dysfunction.




Territorialization of Education


Book Description

This comprehensive scientific work embraces, within the generic theme of "educations, territorialities and territories", the vast majority of different facets of the complex relationships between educations and territories that have developed over time. It sheds an original light on the many - and, for some, new - interactions between territories-territories, on the one hand, and educations, on the other hand, which have recently been identified and analyzed. Beyond this main objective, it contributes to improving the fine and differentiated understanding of the concept of territory in the sciences of education and training and, more importantly, it brings innovative developments to the still embryonic theorization of the complex relations between educations. and territories-territorialities. This book shows, in particular, through its surveys, its analyzes and its results, that within all the multiple influences attributed to the different dimensions of the territories, the very discrete territoriality - falling within the symbolic territory - is perhaps finally the the most important territorial vector in terms of education in certain areas (rural Montagnards, for example), particularly as regards educational and vocational guidance, but not only. Lastly, it is not uninteresting to note that the theme it bears is spreading more and more today beyond scientific circles: the problem of inequalities in education and orientation of territorial origin is fueling - recently - the controversies and the reflections of the French educational policy which is thus sometimes echoed - in declarative terms essentially for the moment! - scientific advances in this area

Cases on Historical Thinking and Gamification in Social Studies and Humanities Education


Book Description

Research on history education and historical thinking is becoming increasingly relevant internationally. The need for a renewal of history education is not only justified by the epistemology of history itself, but also by the demand for a methodological change in education in general, making students active protagonists in the construction of their learning and based on the development of competencies. Further study on the potential use of gamification within social studies and humanities education is required to understand its benefits and challenges. Cases on Historical Thinking and Gamification in Social Studies and Humanities Education proposes and analyzes gamification as a pedagogical innovation that can enable the renewal of the teaching and learning process of history, facilitating the active learning of historical thinking concepts while influencing students' conceptions of history as a discipline and as a school subject. Covering key topics such as historical thinking, social sciences, video games, and mobile learning, this reference work is ideal for historians, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
