Obra colectiva –en la que colaboran profesores de las universidades de Alcalá, Burgos, Córdoba, Extremadura, Granada, Pontifica de Salamanca, y UNED- diseñada como un programa de trabajo orientado a plasmar de forma coherente y novedosa los procesos básicos de la construcción del Estado Europeo de Educación Superior con el propósito de mostrar las claves de su identidad institucional y el potencial innovador del proceso de convergencia. Creemos, además, que estamos en un período de tiempo estratégico por cuanto coincide con la inflexión en el proceso que, de una parte, exige compendiar las acciones hasta ahora realizadas como mayor o menor acierto y, de otros lado, remite a investigar nuevas dimensiones de la cuestión y evaluar los proceso de cambio para afrontar la última etapa 2009-2010 con la orientación y la fuerza necesaria. La primera parte aborda la convergencia europea en su conjunto, con el propósito de desentrañar sus discursos teóricos y políticos, así como sus formas textuales y principales claves de sus procesos de implantación. El análisis de la producción legislativa, como no podía ser de otra manera, ocupa también un lugar destacado en los diferentes estudios. En la tercera y última parte, se aborda el análisis del ethos pedagógico y de los soportes curriculares de la convergencia, con todo su entramado organizativo y fáctico, así como las claves internas- estrategias didácticas, métodos interactivos, guías docentes y modos de apropiación- que ordenan la vida cotidiana universitaria en un mundo plural y globalizado. Los trabajos aquí reunidos ponen especial énfasis para expresar también en líneas generales el desarrollo específico de experiencias piloto llevadas a cabo en las titulaciones de Pedagogía y Psicología.
Estamos, sin duda alguna, en un momento de efervescencia en la universidad debido a la confluencia simultánea de dos cambios sociales de gran calado. Por una parte está el proceso de confluencia con el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, más conocido como tratado de Bolonia, y por otra la creciente presión que la sociedad y sus instituciones sociales y políticas hacen para que la universidad se convierta en una institución impulsora de los cambios de todo tipo a los que la sociedad actual debe hacer frente. La comunidad educativa universitaria es cada vez más consciente de esta situación y más permeable al discurso que la asocia al devenir social de la comunidad de la que forma parte. Por esta razón asistimos, en este momento, a una amplia serie de actividades, jornadas, simposios, etc. que toman como tema a trabajar la reforma de la universidad española en el contexto de la convergencia europea. Este libro expone de manera divulgativa, por una parte, las consecuencias que tiene el proceso de confluencia para la organización de los estudios universitarios y, por otra, la influencia que todo esto ejerce sobre los modelos instructivos que son más habituales en la universidad actual. Es una obra de interés para todos los docentes universitarios y para aquellas personas interesadas en los problemas educativos actuales.
Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach
Digital technologies are a key feature of contemporary education. Schools, colleges and universities operate along high-tech lines, while alternate forms of online education have emerged to challenge the dominance of traditional institutions. According to many experts, the rapid digitization of education over the past ten years has undoubtedly been a ‘good thing’. Is Technology Good For Education? offers a critical counterpoint to this received wisdom, challenging some of the central ways in which digital technology is presumed to be positively affecting education. Instead Neil Selwyn considers what is being lost as digital technologies become ever more integral to education provision and engagement. Crucially, he questions the values, agendas and interests that stand to gain most from the rise of digital education. This concise, up-to-the-minute analysis concludes by considering alternate approaches that might be capable of rescuing and perhaps revitalizing the ideals of public education, while not denying the possibilities of digital technology altogether.
A text for students of education and sociology with up-to-date data on equality in education in Ireland
By using this book, practitioners can explore the different ways in which marginalisation is experienced by pupils and, in so doing, create a classroom that is all the more inclusive.
The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].
From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.
The book Research on University Teaching and Faculty Development: International Perspectives contains twenty-five solid and powerful chapters treating research aspects that reflect current university issues in ten countries. The book has been written by 60 proficient educators and accredited researchers. They have explored university teaching and faculty development as a field of inquiry that uses qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches for studying almost forty university topics. These themes range from academic planning, accountability, and action research to change in teacher education. The question of a relationship between university teaching and teacher induction is first introduced in the book to train future teachers with techniques and social elements that require a scientific rather than an artistic approach to reflective practices. Eight chapters inquire why some university campuses produce more/better collaborative teaching and change predisposition in higher education. The sort of attempt to discover activeness during teaching practice and to define the nature of the induction year may well provide a path to some basic understanding and offers tremendous research potential into the teaching profession. The second section of the book regards faculty development as an enigma. Written throughout five chapters, it stresses expert-novice studies to make coherent sense out of experience within the faculty. The action research approach is a basic method to studying active teaching/assessment and, accordingly, to an understanding of the forces resulting in the internal consistency of the learning communitys styles and processes. A crucial point is the female perspective at the higher education level that has permeated the culture of justice. The third part of the book contains six chapters of a quality nature. Governments and funding initiatives are focusing on the provision of university leadership development as a vehicle for renewing curriculum and quality assurance. The major beneficiaries of a well-run university change system in higher education are the students and graduates of any age, social and personal condition. New research on student assessment is unique among academic responsibilities in providing a direct linkage between learning activities and quality assurance, strategic decision-making processes. In this respect, how universities interpret inclusive education for students with developmental disabilities, and establishing structural relationships with society are important strategic matters to improve the functioning of the universitys organisation. Technology as an agent of university change is the fourth part of the book. It covers six chapters dealing with the impact of digital technology on traditional academic practices. Students' navigating discourses seem appropriate to enhance university learning because they intersect knowledge, competencies, confidence, information, and communication. The present day routine of Web 2.0 instruments in university teaching includes the use of computer generation and storage, to create and disseminate artifacts of undergraduate and graduate students.
Self-directed learning seeks to provide students with the greatest possible control over the content of their courses and the methods used to deliver them. This fits with counselling process, where the intention is to increase the client's power and autonomy. This book gives practical examples of ways in which this method has been carried out and considers some of the dilemmas facing both students and trainers. Self-directed Learning in Counsellor Training provides a developmental model of self-directed learning together with exercises and methods of facilitating. It looks at ways of managing entry into this form of learning and demonstrates methods of designing courses which reinforce the principles. There is a discussion of the underlying philosophy, the possible outcomes and examples of ways to self and peer assess.
