Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its peak in 1961 there we're 40,000 men and women who entered colleges of education compared to 50,000 who entered traditional universities. This controversial project critically traces the origins of the colleges, their development and reasons for their abrupt closure. Current debates are addressed such as school versus college training and the balance between academic and professional training and the balance between academic and professional training (where the academic training should take place). Social issues are analysed such as the role of women in colleges (links to the suffrage movement), social mobility (working class teacher), control and rebellion (how far were the colleges total institutions), student life (sport and transnationalism.) Oral history is used. As well as drawing on my personal experience, thirty former colleges of educations students were interviewed, the oldest being 101years and including Estelle Morris, former Labour Party Education Secretary. Shortly before he died Professor Asa Briggs lamented to me that there was no public debate about the closures of colleges of education and the restructuring of higher education. Now secret meetings and documents are exposed. The role of government is researched. Archival material from individual colleges, local and national government is traced ad former civil servants interviewed. Margaret Thatchers' role in the closures is re-assessed. This new evidence contradicts the Official version of events which was the closures were on educational rather than administrative grounds.

Download or read book The Best School in Jerusalem written by Laura S. Schor and published by Brandeis University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annie Edith (Hannah Judith) Landau (1873Ð1945), born in London to immigrant parents and educated as a teacher, moved to Jerusalem in 1899 to teach English at the Anglo-Jewish AssociationÕs Evelina de Rothschild School for Girls. A year later she became its principal, a post she held for forty-five years. As a member of JerusalemÕs educated elite, Landau had considerable influence on the cityÕs cultural and social life, often hosting parties that included British Mandatory officials, Jewish dignitaries, Arab leaders, and important visitors. Her school, which provided girls of different backgrounds with both a Jewish and a secular education, was immensely popular and often had to reject candidates, for lack of space. A biography of both an extraordinary woman and a thriving institution, this book offers a lens through which to view the struggles of the nascent Zionist movement, World War I, poverty and unemployment in the Yishuv, and the relations between the religious and secular sectors and between Arabs and Jews, as well as LandauÕs own dual loyalties to the British and to the evolving Jewish community.

Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of Froebel and Early Childhood Practice written by Tina Bruce and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major influence on the education of young children since the late nineteenth century, the philosophical and practical tenets of Frobelian early childhood education require urgent re-articulation in light of current debate and developments in research and policy. This seminal Handbook responds to this need, drawing together a unique and valuable body of literature, research and case studies to make explicit the specific features of Froebelian education and provide key impulses for future research and practice in this area. Chapters present the sometimes divergent perspectives of leading educationalists, and so offer a uniquely comprehensive overview of Froebelian approaches and their interaction with contemporary policies and insights. The Handbook explores five significant areas of scholarship and practice: Part I examines the original Froebelian principles and practices in early childhood education in different parts of the world. Part II presents case studies, development projects and practitioner publications exploring Froebelian approaches to early childhood education. Part III details research studies which document, debate and evaluate Froebelian approaches. Part IV considers how Froebelian approaches might be sustained and adapted for use in various cultural contexts across the world. Part V offers a re-articulation of research and policy. An essential resource for in-service and future practitioners, researchers and policy-makers involved in early childhood education, this key text will promote discussion, aid analysis and further the practical application of Frobelian principles.
Download or read book Sport and the Physical Emancipation of English Women written by Kathleen E. McCrone and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1988. This study can be situated within the history of women, women’s education, women’s rights, sport, leisure and recreation. Its aim is not to establish or submit to review what is known or thought to be known about the Victorian world-view and woman’s place within it, but rather to investigate reactions against this view and the emergence of a counter-view through sport and exercise. An attempt is made to rescue the English sportswoman from the obscuring mists of the past, to discuss her as a transitional figure between opposing views of womanhood and to place her within the context of the general movement for the emancipation of women as an important effect and cause — without necessarily assuming what women’s status in sport and in society should have been.
