Download or read book Sustainable Production System written by Clément Morlat and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wealth is no longer just an ability to live well in a world shaped by human activities. It is also an ability to push back or defer the limits of a world in biological and climatic closure. This book examines the theoretical conflicts and the power plays which often oppose the socio-political and technical-financial practices of recognition of what intervenes in the production of this wealth – i.e. of what has value. It lays down the principles of a contributory modeling method, allowing debates around the concept of development; the building of scenarios; the negotiation of their implementation; and a cross-sectoral reading of their social, ecological and economic costs. This method, called Dynamic Modeling of Cost Systems, is based on a territorial communication device which articulates political, contractual and accounting innovations using deliberative and normative digital tools. It combines different local representations of value, in order to approach wealth through an integrated analysis of micro-, meso- and macro- issues.

Download or read book Notre mode de vie est il durable written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2005 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: II y a six ans, Justice et Paix publiait " Maîtriser la mondialisation " : une lecture éthique et théologique d'un phénomène qui caractérise notre époque. Dans la même perspective, Justice et Paix a voulu prendre en compte une autre question majeure de notre temps : le développement durable. Une équipe interdisciplinaire a travaillé pendant plus d'une année sur ce thème, de manière à en préciser les enjeux éthiques et théologiques. Or, ces enjeux ne sont pas indépendants de la manière de poser le problème : aussi le texte commence-t-il par définir et délimiter la notion de développement durable. Dès la présentation de la problématique, la décision éthique se trouve déjà à l'œuvre, chaque question étant considérée dans un "horizon nouveau " : le rapport à la nature en lien avec l'humain, l'individuel avec le collectif, le local avec le planétaire. La prise en compte d'un horizon nouveau met en lumière de nouvelles limites, mais également de nouvelles potentialités. L'horizon se rétrécit et en même temps s'élargit. Une perspective radicalement nouvelle se profile en fonction de ce nouvel horizon. Elle n'est pas encore définie, mais elle nous provoque à concevoir un nouveau mode de vie. Notre planète est en danger, certes. Mais il s'agit d'apprendre à vivre autrement et non à vivre moins bien pour durer plus longtemps. Une conviction forte traverse l'ensemble de l'ouvrage : le développement durable offre la possibilité d'un nouveau déploiement de nos capacités humaines. La réflexion chrétienne peut apporter une contribution originale à cette recherche commune. C'est dans cette perspective, que sont déployées les notions bibliques de promesse et d'alliance. Promesse d'avenir : non un avenir déjà programmé, mais un avenir à inventer. Alliance à tisser: non pour contraindre l'avenir, mais pour libérer les initiatives et les relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ECHNOLOGICAL PROSPECTS AND SOCIAL APPLICATIONS SET Coordinated by Bruno Salgues There are many controversies with respect to health crisis management: the search for information on symptoms, misinformation on emerging treatments, massive use of collaborative tools by healthcare professionals, deployment of applications for tracking infected patients. The Covid-19 crisis is a relevant example about the need for research in digital communications in order to understand current health info communication. After an overview of the challenges of digital healthcare, this book offers a critical look at the organizational and professional limits of ICT uses for patients, their caregivers and healthcare professionals. It analyzes the links between ICT and ethics of care, where health communication is part of a global, humanistic and emancipating care for patients and caregivers. It presents new digitized means of communicating health knowledge that reveal, thanks to the Internet, a competition between biomedical expert knowledge and experiential secular knowledge.

Download or read book Beyond Single Stories written by Amy Allen and published by IAP. This book was released on 2024-02-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every social studies curriculum tells a story. It is increasingly apparent that new stories are needed to guide us through the multiple and intersecting crises that have come to define our times. This accessible volume supports student teachers, teachers, and teacher educators to engage critically with the stories that social studies curricula tell and neglect to tell, particularly those that relate and contribute to the root causes of contemporary social and ecological injustices. A balanced and inclusive curriculum necessitates a broad range of stories and perspectives, not just the master narratives of dominant groups. Incorporating a range of pedagogical approaches and spanning a diversity of themes, from representations of Africa in Chinese textbooks, to slavery and the American civil rights movement, to refugees and the role of indigenous knowledge systems in addressing climate breakdown, this volume includes and creatively engages with previously marginalized and silenced stories and perspectives. Both practical and theoretical in its approach, it seeks to provoke, meaningfully support, and inspire educators to incorporate alternative stories or counter-narratives into their social studies teaching. This unique volume is essential reading for student teachers, teachers, teacher educators as well as anyone interested in inspiring children and young people to be open-minded, critically engaged, and empathetic agents of change, committed to addressing realworld social and ecological injustices.
Download or read book Contemporary Museums written by Yves Girault and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the center of current debates surrounding the social function of museums, questions concerning museum activities and the participation of both inhabitants and the public arise. In 2019, these questions were the subject of many heated debates at the 34th General Assembly of ICOM in Kyoto, which intended to propose a new definition of the museum. As the representations of the tensions between Universalist and Communitarian approaches are not only largely dependent on the historical and socio-political contexts of the various countries concerned, a generational angle must also be considered. It thus seems totally anachronistic to try to defend a dichotomous vision that is far too simplistic. At the heart of these current events and international issues, this collective work studies, in an international context, the values, actions and discourses advocated for participating in processes such as collection, selection, conservation and interpretation of heritage elements linked to the territories, resources, knowledge and know-how of various communities. The analysis of the tensions and asymmetries of power between various groups of actors – politicians, managers, scientists, visitors, representatives of local or diasporic populations, among others – particularly in the context of decolonization policies of museums, is also a major part of this book.
Download or read book ducation Environnement et D veloppement Durable written by Barbara Bader and published by 2305, rue de l'Université. This book was released on 2011 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le concept de developpent durable traverse desormais l'espace public. L'education au developpement durable est devenue une injonction ministerielle dans differents pays. Elle s'inscrit dans les programmes scolaires. Ce concept de developpement durable donne pourtant lieu a de multiples interpretations, parfois contradictoires. Il est donc important de marquer un temps d'arret afin d'analyser les fondements ideologiques des concepts de developpement durable et d'education au developpement durable, ce qui peut y faire controverses, tout comme les caracteristiques des representations et des pratiques educatives qui s'en reclament. Les universitaires ayant contribue a ce livre s'interrogent sur ces mutations subtiles et sur leurs effets, non seulement pour les enseignants, les praticiens, et les nouvelles generations d'eleves, mais egalement dans l'espace public - que ce soit au Quebec, en France, en Belgique. C'est toute notre facon de concevoir l'environnement et l'education a l'environnement qui est ici questionnee. L'education au developpement durable correspond-elle a une reorientation profonde des principes a l'origine de l'education relative a l'environnement? Sert-elle des fins de justice sociale en s'inspirant de visons du monde differentes? Recherche-t-elle des rapports a la nature et a l'autre renouveles vers une ecocitoyennete critique? Contribue telle a renforcer les dialogues sciences-societe? Pour repondre a ces questions, la premiere partie du livre analyse les orientations ideologiques du developpement durable et de l'education au developpement durable. La deuxieme partie cerne finement des representations et des pratiques educatives en education au developpement durable et la troisieme partie traite de la question centrale du rapport au savoir scientifique a privilegier, des types de formation et de l'enseignement des controverses. Les prises de position regroupees dans ce livre ne sont pas uniformes. Certaines, plus critiques s'interrogent sur les derives ideologiques possibles d'autres plus pragmatiques, soulignent les representations et les pratiques fecondes. Leur mise en correspondance ouvre ici un espace de mise en dialogue stimulant et original. Ce livre marque un tournant dans l'etude de l'education a l'environnement et de l'education au developpement durable. Il permettra aux educateurs, aux didacticiens, aux chercheurs, aux etudiants et aux decideurs de comprendre que nous assistons a un changement a la fois determinant et subtil dans nos manieres de concevoir l'education et la protection de l'environnement.
Download or read book Controversial Issues and Social Problems for an Integrated Disciplinary Teaching written by Delfín Ortega-Sánchez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scientific literature has been showing that the teaching of controversial topics constitutes one of the most powerful tools for the promotion of active citizenship, the development and acquisition of critical-reflective thinking skills (Misco, 2013), and education for democratic citizenship (Pollak, Segal, Lefstein, and Meshulam, 2017; Misco and Lee, 2014). It has also highlighted, however, the complexities, risks and interference of emotional reactions in learning about sensitive, controversial or controversial historical, geographical or social issues (Jerome and Elwick, 2019; Reiss, 2019; Ho and Seow, 2015; Washington and Humphries, 2011; Swalwell and Schweber, 2016). Recent studies have advanced in the analysis of strategies employed by teacher educators in teaching controversial issues (Nganga, Roberts, Kambutu, and James, 2019; Pace, 2019), and in the curricular decisions of teachers about this teaching (Hung, 2019; King, 2009). These developments confirm the appropriateness of discussing or developing deliberative skills and conversational learning as the most appropriate strategy for the didactic treatment of controversial issues (Claire and Holden, 2007; Hand, 2008; Hess, 2002; Oulton, Day, Dillon and Grace, 2004; Oulton, Dillon and Grace, 2004; Myhill, 2007; Hand and Levinson, 2012; Ezzedeen, 2008). The promotion of discussion on specific social justice issues has also been approached from the use of controversial or documentary images in teacher education contexts, in order to question what is happening or has happened in present and past societies (Hawley, Crowe, and Mooney, 2016; Marcus and Stoddard, 2009). In this context, the aim of this contributed volume is, on one hand, to understand the discourses and decision-making of teachers on controversial issues in interdisciplinary educational contexts and their association with the development of deliberation skills. On the other hand, it seeks to offer studies focused on the analysis of the levels of coherence between their attitudes, positions and teaching practices for the teaching and learning of social problems and controversial issues from an integrated disciplinary perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst France's contemporary architecture is highly regarded throughout the world, her architects have hardly been leading protagonists in the debate on ecological building. The developments featured in this book, however, should serve to correct this impression. Between 1999- 2002 Electricité de France (EDF) initiated an ambitious research programme to bring together first-class architects and innovative technologies involving renewable energy, strategies to reduce energy consumption, newly developed software programs to support ecologically oriented architectural design etc. The goal was to create sustainable and aesthetically pleasing architecture. This book documents the submissions from both established and younger architects. Amongst those included are Jacques Ferrier, Christian Hauvette, Marc Mimram and François Roche.
Download or read book Teacher Education Intersecting Comparative and International Education written by Florin D. Salajan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws critical connections between teacher education or preparation and the field of comparative and international education (CIE) showing ways in which the two fields can inform and advance one another. The chapters consider how teacher education shapes and is shaped by CIE, particularly in an era of socio-cultural upheavals, politico-economic transformations and climate or health crises affecting the human and natural world. The question at the core of the book is: in what ways can comparative and international education support a rethinking of teacher education in the wake of the social movements for equity, justice and civil liberties with ramifications for educators around the world? It includes contributions from leading academics based in Argentina, Canada, China, Columbia, Finland, Grenada, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Spain, South Africa, Turkey and the USA. The chapters cover topics ranging from equity, social justice, and the sustainable development goals to country case-studies including teacher education in Myanmar and a comparative study of teacher preparation in South Korea and the USA.
