Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores diverse contemporary paradigms of educational praxis and learning in Latin America, both formal and non-formal. Each contributor offers a unique perspective on the factors which lead to the production of paradigms rooted in ‘other’ logics, cosmologies, and realities, and how these factors may renegotiate and redefine concepts of education, learning, and knowledge. The various chapters provide a road map for scholars, activists, artists, students, organizations, and social movements to help begin to construct learning spaces that seek to engage with a new more horizontal form of participatory democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development seeks to engage with comprehensive, contemporary, and critical theoretical debates on Latin American development. The volume draws on contributions from across the humanities and social sciences and, unlike earlier volumes of this kind, explicitly highlights the disruptions to the field being brought by a range of anti-capitalist, decolonial, feminist, and ontological intellectual contributions. The chapters consider in depth the harms and suffering caused by various oppressive forces, as well as the creative and often revolutionary ways in which ordinary Latin Americans resist, fight back, and work to construct development defined broadly as the struggle for a better and more dignified life. The book covers many key themes including development policy and practice; neoliberalism and its aftermath; the role played by social movements in cities and rural areas; the politics of water, oil, and other environmental resources; indigenous and Afro-descendant rights; and the struggles for gender equality. With contributions from authors working in Latin America, the US and Canada, Europe, and New Zealand at a range of universities and other organizations, the handbook is an invaluable resource for students and teachers in development studies, Latin American studies, cultural studies, human geography, anthropology, sociology, political science, and economics, as well as for activists and development practitioners.

This book was released on 2014-10-22 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La memoria de este libro nos devuelve, quizás, a una estación española de ferrocarriles en abril de 2008 y a una de sus consecuencias: un fructífero conversatorio en la ciudad de Quito (Ecuador) en junio de 2010 que, tras algunas vicisitudes, ve la luz en forma de libro sobre una temática de absoluta actualidad para el país como recoge su título. Entre estos acontecimientos han devenido muchas y diferentes circunstancias que, ya, forman parte de la memoria de aquellos que, como traza Eva Caballero (Cap. 1) al explicar los motivos del proyecto que dio origen a este libro, seguimos comprometidos con el diálogo y la colaboración trans- como manera de comprender el mundo. La comunicación más allá de fronteras y categorías es, también y por supuesto, una de las muchas opciones que se nos presentan a lo largo de la vida. La memoria, sin embargo, no es una opción porque, como versificó Borges, “somos nuestra memoria”, y no parece que pudiera haber existencia social, y por tanto existencia humana, sin ella –añado. Me gusta la afirmación de Borges porque vincula la existencia del presente vivido al pasado recordado y, además, porque admite la validez (y es probable que también la certeza) de que lo recordado (en forma de Tradición o de Historia) sea lo único que da sentido al presente. Aunque el conocimiento que tenemos de la historia enseña que, paradójicamente, el pasado no tiene una existencia cerrada, ni acabada, ni finita porque continuamente surgen subjetividades que desconocíamos, que habíamos olvidado o, simplemente, que habíamos querido olvidar. Nuestra experiencia personal, así como las conclusiones –siempre parciales y provisionales—que sacamos desde las disciplinas sociales y humanas, desvelan que el pasado es una constante recreación, y que es sobre esta recreación que fundamentamos nuestro suceder presente al tiempo que suceden.Y el análisis de la manera en la que como miembros de un grupo humano recordamos el pasado (memoria) para contarlo (que nos dijera García Márquez), para entender el presente de un mundo global y diverso (interculturalidad) y para preparar el futuro (desarrollo), es lo que nos ha interesado en este libro. Ese continuo temporal pasado-presente-futuro (sea cíclico como en el mundo andino o lineal como en el mundo judeo-cristiano) que conforma el tiempo social es el que da sentido a la vida en sociedad. Sin embargo, aquí no planteamos una mirada al pasado (en tanto que Historia), ni a la memoria (en tanto que depositaria de las esencias identitarias del grupo), ni a la selección y administración de unos determinados elementos donde resida un segmento del pasado (en tanto que patrimonio), sino a cómo este discurrir de la memoria influye en el suceder cotidiano de los pueblos y nacionalidades que estructuran Ecuador hoy con la intención de proyectarse hacia al futuro.
Download or read book Educaci n y buen vivir written by Sindy Johana Acevedo Velandia and published by . This book was released on 2019* with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este artículo es resultado de un proceso investigativo desarrollado bajo la metodología de estudio de caso, que analizó las fortalezas, limitaciones y contribuciones del programa de Licenciatura en Etnoeducación de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia (UNAD) a los procesos de interculturalidad y Buen Vivir de las comunidades étnicas a las que pertenecen los estudiantes del programa en cuestión. La investigación se guía por la teoría descolonial, y relaciona conceptos como colonialidad del saber, interculturalidad y Buen Vivir. El estudio identificó que, en la institución, en docentes y estudiantes, coexisten diversas visiones de interculturalidad y Buen Vivir. Se destaca a su vez que el programa representa un escenario de reconocimiento a la diversidad, a través de la puesta en marcha de distintas prácticas educativas, lo que posibilita la resignificación identitaria. No obstante, al interior de estas prácticas aún se replican dimensiones de la colonialidad del saber que es necesario revisar, de tal forma que permita llevar a la realidad los procesos de interculturalidad, que no solo queden limitados a situaciones o momentos específicos, sino que trascienda y, por ende, permita la reconfiguración de las estructuras institucionales, impactando el Buen Vivir de las comunidades a las que pertenecen las y los estudiantes.

Download or read book University and School Collaborations During a Pandemic written by Fernando M. Reimers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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
Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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].
Download or read book Science Education Research in Latin America written by Charbel Niño El-Hani and published by Cultural and Historical Perspe. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume of the World of Science Education gathers contributions from Latin American science education researchers covering a variety of topics that will be of interest to educators and researchers all around the world. The volume provides an overview of research in Latin America, and most of the chapters report findings from studies seldom available for Anglophone readers. They bring new perspectives, thus, to topics such as science teaching and learning; discourse analysis and argumentation in science education; history, philosophy and sociology of science in science teaching; and science education in non-formal settings. As the Latin American academic communities devoted to science education have been thriving for the last four decades, the volume brings an opportunity for researchers from other regions to get acquainted with the developments of their educational research. This will bring contributions to scholarly production in science education as well as to teacher education and teaching proposals to be implemented in the classroom"--
Download or read book Ecological Networks and Greenways written by Rob H. G. Jongman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-07 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The establishment of ecological networks in Europe and greenways in America has required some of the most advanced applications of the principles of landscape ecology to land use planning. This book provides a thorough overview of recent developments in this emerging field, combining theoretical concepts of landscape ecology with the actual practice of landscape planning and management. In addition to biological and physical considerations important to biodiversity protection and restoration, equal weight is given to cultural and aesthetic issues to illustrate how sympathetic, sustainable land use policies can be implemented. Examples are given for large scale areas (Estonia and Florida) as well as regional areas such as Milano, Chicago and the Argentinian Yungas. This invaluable book will provide a wealth of information for all those concerned with biodiversity conservation through networks and greenways and their relevance to the planning process, whether researcher, land manager or policy maker.
