Hoy día existe un amplio consenso ante la idea de que la investigación y el desarrollo del currículum son tareas que corresponden a profesoras y profesores, formando parte fundamental de su trabajo como profesionales reflexivos. En este marco, la investigación-acción es, quizá, la mejor estrategia metodológica para hacer realidad esta nueva concepción. James McKERNAN aplica esta metodología, desde hace años, con docentes de distintos niveles educativos y con estudiantes universitarios. El resultado de esta filosofía de trabajo colaborativo queda plasmado en este volumen -edición completamente actualizada de una primera versión en inglés- en el que ofrece sólidos argumentos acerca del valor de esta estrategia educativa. Una breve enumeración de las cuestiones aquí tratadas es el mejor testimonio de su interés: -la evolución y valor de la investigación-acción en el currículum -Estrategias de recogida de datos -Distintas modalidades y técnicas de observación -Modos de organización y análisis de los datos -Presentación y difusión de resultados -Las cuestiones éticas en la investigación-acción -La investigación-acción y su enseñanza. Este manual de métodos y estrategias explica con claridad hasta cuarenta y siete técnicas y recursos de investigación. Algunos son ya clásicos, pero la mayoria novedosos, por ejemplo: análisis de dilemas, estudio de problemas, evaluación de discursos, análisis de episodios, ensayos criticos, cuadrangulación. Se incluyen, asimismo, experiencias sobre algunas iniciativas en distintos países para fomentar programas de investigación-acción. Su lenguaje es muy claro y se centra más en cuestiones prácticas y, por tanto, será de gran utilidad a estudiantes de Facultades de Educación y al profesorado de cualquier nivel del sistema educativo, desde educación infantil hasta enseñanzas universitarias. James McKERNAN es Catedrático de Universidad en la School of Education, en la East Carolina University, EE.UU.
More and more educational scenarios and learning landscapes are developed using blogs, wikis, podcasts and e-portfolios. Web 2.0 tools give learners more control, by allowing them to easily create, share or reuse their own learning materials, and these tools also enable social learning networks that bridge the border between formal and informal learning. However, practices of strategic innovation of universities, faculty development, assessment, evaluation and quality assurance have not fully accommodated these changes in technology and teaching. Ehlers and Schneckenberg present strategic approaches for innovation in universities. The contributions explore new models for developing and engaging faculty in technology-enhanced education, and they detail underlying reasons for why quality assessment and evaluation in new – and often informal – learning scenarios have to change. Their book is a practical guide for educators, aimed at answering these questions. It describes what E-learning 2.0 is, which basic elements of Web 2.0 it builds on, and how E-learning 2.0 differs from Learning 1.0. The book also details a number of quality methods and examples, such as self-assessment, peer-review, social recommendation, and peer-learning, using illustrative cases and giving practical recommendations. Overall, it offers a step-by-step guide for educators so that they can choose their own quality assurance or assessment methods, or develop their own evaluation methodology for specific learning scenarios. The book addresses everyone involved in higher education – university leaders, chief information officers, change and quality assurance managers, and faculty developers. Pedagogical advisers and consultants will find new insights and practices for the integration and management of novel learning technologies in higher education. The volume fosters in lecturers and teachers a sound understanding of the need and strategy for change, and it provides them with practical recommendations on competence and quality methodologies.
Value Chain Finance is a solution to such dilemmas.
This brilliant and revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences reexamines the goals of education to support a more educated society for future generations. Howard Gardner’s concept of multiple intelligences has been hailed as perhaps the most profound insight into education since the work of Jerome Bruner, Jean Piaget, and even John Dewey. Here, in The Disciplined Mind, Garner pulls together the threads of his previous works and looks beyond such issues as charters, vouchers, unions, and affirmative action in order to explore the larger questions of what constitutes an educated person and how this can be achieved for all students. Gardner eloquently argues that the purpose of K–12 education should be to enhance students’ deep understanding of the truth (and falsity), beauty (and ugliness), and goodness (and evil) as defined by their various cultures. By exploring the theory of evolution, the music of Mozart, and the lessons of the Holocaust as a set of examples that illuminates the nature of truth, beauty, and morality, The Disciplined Mind envisions how younger generations will rise to the challenges of the future—while preserving the traditional goals of a “humane” education. Gardner’s ultimate goal is the creation of an educated generation that understands the physical, biological, and societal world in their own personal context as well as in a broader world view. But even as Gardner persuasively argues the merits of his approach, he recognizes the difficulty of developing one universal, ideal form of education. In an effort to reconcile conflicting educational viewpoints, he proposes the creation of six different educational pathways that, when taken together, can satisfy people’s concern for student learning and their widely divergent views about knowledge and understanding overall.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, EC-TEL 2006. The book presents 32 revised full papers, 13 revised short papers and 31 poster papers together with 2 keynote talks. Topics addressed include collaborative learning, personalized learning, multimedia content, semantic web, metadata and learning, workplace learning, learning repositories and infrastructures for learning, as well as experience reports, assessment, and case studies, and more.
A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism "Reduce, reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, "waste equals food" is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrients" that safely re-enter the environment or as "technical nutrients" that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (as most "recyclables" now are). Elaborating their principles from experience (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, William McDonough and Michael Braungart make an exciting and viable case for change.
Meredith Minkler and Nina Wallerstein have brought together, in one important volume, a stellar panel of contributors who offer a comprehensive resource on the theory and application of community based participatory research. Community Based Participatory Research for Health contains information on a wide variety of topics including planning and conducting research, working with communities, promoting social change, and core research methods. The book also contains a helpful appendix of tools, guides, checklists, sample protocols, and much more.
