Download or read book Psychological Theory and Educational Reform written by David R. Olson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-06-16 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For well over a century educational reformers have looked for a breakthrough in the sciences of psychology and pedagogy that would dramatically improve the effectiveness of schooling. This book shows why such an ambition is an illusion. Schools are institutions which attempt to balance the needs of a bureaucratic society that funds them with the personal goals, interests, hopes and ambitions of the students who enroll in them. Reform efforts attempt to realign that balance without any clear conception of how the two are related. This book offers a theoretical account of the relation between the minds of learners and the institutional structure of the school that would account both for the ways that schooling remakes minds and societies and why such institutions are resistant to change.

Download or read book The Language of Jokes written by Delia Chiaro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-12-05 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly readable and thought-provoking book, Delia Chiaro explores the pragmatics of word play, using frameworks normally adopted in descriptive linguistics. Using examples from personally recorded conversations, she examines the structure of jokes, quips, riddles and asides. Chiaro explores degrees of conformity to and deviation from established conventions; the `tellability' of jokes, and the interpretative role of the listener; the creative use of puns, word play and discourse. The emphasis in her analysis is on sociocultural contexts for the production and reception of jokes, and she examines the extent to which jokes are both universal in their appeal, and specific to a particular culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in humor has grown in recent years, especially in relation to its clinical applications. Humor helps relax, improve relationships with others, and reduce negative emotions such as anger. A person who suffers from psychological distress, can learn to open up to others through humor, to complain less, and to transform her mood in a positive way and find constructive solutions to her problems. Mix therapeutic action can help with humor change and improve the management of several diseases (both somatic and mental). Therefore, humor can play a vital role in promoting general and mental well-being. It may seem difficult to measure the health benefits of laughter, but a number of scientific studies done in a clinical setting support the benefits of humor therapy. The aim of this book is to show how humor can become a valuable tool for working in health professions.

Download or read book The Importance of Not Being Earnest written by Wallace Chafe and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis of this book is that neither laughter nor humor can be understood apart from the feeling that underlies them. This feeling is a mental state in which people exclude some situation from their knowledge of how the world really is, thereby inhibiting seriousness where seriousness would be counterproductive. Laughter is viewed as an expression of this feeling, and humor as a set of devices designed to trigger it because it is so pleasant and distracting. Beginning with phonetic analyses of laughter, the book examines ways in which the feeling behind the laughter is elicited by both humorous and nonhumorous situations. It discusses properties of this feeling that justify its inclusion in the repertoire of human emotions. Against this background it illustrates the creation of humor in several folklore genres and across several cultures. Finally, it reconciles this understanding with various already familiar ways of explaining humor and laughter.

Download or read book Beyond Communities of Practice written by David Barton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of a set of studies exploring the concept of "communities of practice", which has been influential in social sciences, education, and management in recent years. Its main purpose is to emphasize the importance of areas such as language, power, and social context which are essential to understanding how communities of practice work. The concept has been a particularly influential one but has had little sustained critique, so a book of this kind is timely and necessary.

Download or read book Conversational Narrative written by Neal R. Norrick and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the forms and functions of storytelling in everyday conversation. It develops a rhetoric of everyday storytelling through an integrated approach to both the internal structure and the contextual integration of narrative passages. It aims at a more complete picture of oral narrative through analysis of a wider range of natural data, including personal anecdotes told for humor, put-down stories told for self-aggrandizement, family stories retold to ratify membership and so on, as well as marginal stories and narrative-like passages to delineate the boundaries of conversational storytelling and to test the analytical techniques proposed.Using transcriptions of stories from everyday talk, Norrick explores disfluencies, formulaicity and repetition as teller strategies and listener cues alongside global phenomena such as retelling and narrative macrostructures. He also extends his analysis to narrative jokes from conversation and to narrative passages in drama, namely Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet" and Beckett's "Endgame."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le harcèlement psychologique représente un danger auquel le travailleur est exposé durant l'exercice de son travail. En effet, le harcèlement psychologique étant susceptible d'altérer la santé physique ou mentale de l'employé constitue un risque professionnel. Pour contrer ce risque professionnel, les législateurs français et québécois ont posé une interdiction visant à protéger les milieux de travail de ce fléau. Le but de ce mémoire est de mener une réflexion sur l'interdiction législative du harcèlement existant en France et au Québec afin d'identifier les déterminants dans l'une et l'autre juridiction qui permettent au salarié de croire qu'il bénéficie d'une véritable protection en matière de harcèlement moral d'une part et d'autre part qui incitent les employeurs à mettre cette protection en oeuvre au sein de leur entreprise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Propos désobligeants, remarques insidieuses, critiques répétées, humour déplacé, insultes parfois : aujourd’hui dans le monde du travail, les cas d’intimidation et de harcèlement ne sont malheureusement pas rares. La globalisation, la recherche effrénée de performance et de résultats, la crise économique, les luttes internes pour la conservation de son emploi ou la seule perversité isolée d’un chef ou d’un collègue... les causes sont multiples et les effets dévastateurs. • Qu'est-ce que le harcèlement moral au travail ? • Comment reconnaître les actes d’intimidation ? • Êtes-vous concerné ? Et d’ailleurs, pourquoi vous ? • Comment lutter individuellement contre ce fléau devenu ordinaire ? Aujourd'hui, trois salariés sur dix ont le sentiment d'avoir déjà été l'objet de harcèlement moral sur leur lieu de travail, c’est-à-dire d'avoir été l'objet de conduites abusives.Celles-ci se sont manifestées par des comportements, des paroles, des actes, des gestes ou des écrits répétés, et ont porté atteinte à leur personnalité, à leur dignité ou à leur intégrité physique et psychologique, mettant en péril leur emploi ou dégradant le climat social. En outre, plus du tiers des salariés français (37%) disent avoir été témoins du harcèlement moral d'un collègue. Il faut donc conclure que cette pratique est aujourd'hui extrêmement répandue. Ce MiniGuide décortique les mécanismes du harcèlement au travail. Il vous apprend à reconnaître toutes les formes d’intimidation à un stade précoce et à prendre des contre-mesures. Pour ne plus être le bouc émissaire de service, il vous propose de découvrir : - quels sont les traits de la personnalité du harceleur, - quels sont vos facteurs internes de « victime », - quels types d’attaques peuvent être portées contre vous, et comment y parer. S’appuyant sur son expérience clinique, le Dr Stock vous propose de vous auto-diagnostiquer et de mettre en œuvre ses nombreux conseils afin de réduire le stress, rétablir une stabilité émotionnelle et développer une conscience de soi aiguisée. Vous parviendrez ainsi à surmonter un climat hostile et à contrer ces patrons et ces collègues qui sont devenus une souffrance pour vous. Un livre indispensable pour lutter contre la violence psychologique au quotidien.
