This book was released on 2017-09-30 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro articula la educación, los saberes sociales y la justicia social en el contexto de América Latina con el fin de mostrar las alternativas que se han tejido a lo largo del continente para amplios sectores de la población sometidos a procesos de exclusión, tanto en los esfuerzos por una educación formal ligados con la escuela y el currículo como en escenarios comunitarios que surgen de la iniciativa de las colectividades y los movimientos sociales, y que posicionan una manera de comprender las injusticias a las que están sometidos. Los diez capítulos que conforman esta compilación aportan a este debate desde distintas reflexiones teóricas y desde experiencias nacionales muy diversas. Esto les permitirá a los lectores aproximarse a las realidades educativas de América Latina desde la problematización que hacen los autores, a las formas de injusticia y a la construcción de proyectos sociales.

Download or read book Education in Revolutionary Struggles written by Andrés Donoso Romo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-13 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education in Revolutionary Struggles introduces us to the fascinating world of Latin American educational thought in the third quarter of the 20th century. It discusses the contributions of three of the most distinguished intellectuals of the period – Iván Illich, Paulo Freire and Ernesto Guevara – and more specifically their answers to the eternal challenge: What is – or should be – the role of education in the profound structural and/or revolutionary transformation of our societies? The first part of the book identifies the cultural, economic and political context of the revolutionary years in Latin America. This historical framework is of particular interest because it is the setting for the intellectual and educational debates in which these three thinkers took part. The second part, the heart of the book, expounds in depth how Iván Illich, Paulo Freire and Ernesto Guevara contributed to understanding of how education is linked to the transformation of society. The third and final part highlights the most fertile dimensions of the educational thought of Iván Illich, Paulo Freire and Ernesto Guevara – deschooling, liberation education and revolutionary education respectively – and analyses the points where their conceptions of "education in revolutionary struggles" converged, complemented one another or diverged.

Download or read book Educaci n de j venes y adultos en Am rica Latina de los desaf os a la renovaci n written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La equidad y la justicia social se relacionan directamente con la posibilidad que tienen los ciudadanos para acceder a la educación. La calidad con la que se responda a las necesidades de aprendizaje de jóvenes y adultos no es solamente un tema de país: es un asunto político. En ese sentido organismos como el Instituto de Pensamiento y Cultura en América Latina (IPECAL) plantean que el proyecto capitalista de los países latinoamericanos, con su modelo económico neoliberal, es un obstáculo para que la mayoría de la población tenga un real acceso a la sociedad y al mundo laboral. De allí la importancia dentro de una cultura cuya ideología está basada en el individualismo.

Download or read book Education and Poverty written by Alfredo Gaete and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the effects of recent public policies for reducing educational inequalities? How do privatization and other market-based education measures influence schooling in poverty contexts and teacher training programs? In what ways, and to what extent, can these programs take responsibility for improving low-income students’ learning? How do ethnic and cultural differences relate to socioeconomic differences at school? This collection of essays serves to improve the reader’s understanding of the complex relations between education and poverty. While it does this mainly by delving into problems and challenges of the Chilean educational system, they are also currently of international concern. The chapters, authored by leading scholars in Chile and worldwide, present theoretical reflections on, and reports of, contemporary educational research on such issues as social equality, schooling in low socioeconomic sectors, and teacher education, among others. The book will be particularly helpful for scholars from different disciplines who work in education as well as for teacher educators, schoolteachers, and policy makers. More generally, it will be also of interest to anyone who wants to form justified, well-informed beliefs on the ways in which various educational and socioeconomic institutions and processes could, and do, affect each other.
Download or read book Global Citizenship Education and the Crises of Multiculturalism written by Massimiliano Tarozzi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of global citizenship education (GCE) has emerged in the international education discourse in the context of the United Nations Education First Initiative that cites developing global citizens as one of its goals. In this book, the authors argue that GCE offers a new educational perspective for making sense of the existing dilemmas of multiculturalism and national citizenship deficits in diverse societies, taking into account equality, human rights and social justice. The authors explore how teaching and research may be implemented relating to the notion of global citizenship and discuss the intersections between the framework of GCE and multiculturalism. They address the three main topics which affect education in multicultural societies and in a globalized world, and which represent unsolved dilemmas: the issue of diversity in relation to creating citizens, the issue of equality and social justice in democratic societies, and the tension between the global and the local in a globalized world. Through a comparative study of the two prevailing approaches – intercultural education within the European Union and multicultural education in the United States – the authors seek what can be learned from each model. Global Citizenship Education and the Crises of Multiculturalism offers not only a unifying theoretical framework but also a set of policy recommendations aiming to link the two approaches.
Download or read book Am rica Latina entre la desigualdad y la esperanza written by Pablo Gentili and published by Siglo XXI Editores. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los últimos quince años, América Latina mejoró en muchos aspectos, mediante la implementación de políticas públicas incluyentes que lograron disminuir la pobreza y ampliar las oportunidades de los sectores más postergados. Pero una mirada que aspire a ser verdaderamente crítica y progresista no puede conformarse con estas conquistas, sino que debe ir más allá y poner el foco en el trabajo pendiente. En este libro, Pablo Gentili, uno de los especialistas en educación más reconocidos y además un estudioso apasionado de los procesos regionales, elige el registro vital de la crónica para contar y explicar temas cruciales de los que depende el futuro de las sociedades latinoamericanas del siglo XXI: el estado de la escuela pública, la infancia, la situación de la mujer y las múltiples formas de la discriminación. A través de textos ágiles que logran captar magistralmente una realidad compleja, el autor reflexiona sobre la situación de niños y adolescentes expuestos a la pobreza, con escasas posibilidades de acceder a la educación en la primera infancia. Analiza el panorama de la escuela pública (la falta de maestros, la desvalorización del ejercicio profesional) y cuestiona duramente las visiones que criminalizan a los docentes sin proponer alternativas e idealizan como único estándar de calidad el que proveen las pruebas internacionales como el PISA. A la vez, revela cómo opera la discriminación por género, condición social e incluso raza, de modo que hombres y mujeres, negros y blancos, indígenas y campesinos, aun cuando accedan al sistema educativo, no valen lo mismo en el mercado de trabajo. En un estilo que sabe conjugar datos e interpretación personal, agudeza y compromiso, Pablo Gentili construye un mapa de las desigualdades que persisten y de las esperanzas que hay que alimentar con políticas públicas eficaces, pero, sobre todo, aporta un diagnóstico certero y conmovedor de la nueva América Latina.
Download or read book COVID 19 and International Development written by Elissaios Papyrakis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-13 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current coronavirus pandemic fundamentally reshapes existing debates and processes in international development. The unprecedented (and rapidly evolving) crisis is generating a number of substantial challenges for developing economies. Governments in low-income nations often find it extremely hard to cope with the increased demand for health services, make prompt decisions and put them into action, protect vulnerable segments of society and offer immediate relief to affected economic sectors. This book provides a series of reflective chapters that demonstrate how several areas of international development have been severely affected by the Covid-19 outbreak. It provides an in-depth critical discussion on how the current pandemic influences several development outcomes (in the domains of poverty/inequality, health, education, migration, formal/informal employment, (de)globalisation, the extractive sector, climate change, water and the global financial system). Each chapter draws policy recommendations on relevant interventions that can alleviate the identified negative repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic, especially for the most vulnerable communities in the Global South.

Download or read book Educational Justice written by Camila Moyano Dávila and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a novel perspective on education as a social right. Literature on this topic has focused on inclusion as the universal concept whereby access to education is examined. As a moral principle, this concept opens new challenges in different ways if we take a deeper view into diverse contexts. What education? For what? For whom? Are we thinking about education because it will bring social justice in the future, or are we thinking of education as a just practice in the present? This book brings fresh theoretical and empirical perspectives on those questions, moving beyond a pure inclusion paradigm to a broader and context-oriented notion of educational justice. The chapters engage with theories of educational justice to present these challenges at the institutional level of educational policy, at the practical level of schooling practices, and in the production of ideas around childhood and education, for instance, notions of normalcy at schools. Although the featured works are related to the Chilean educational system, they opens questions about education in general. They embrace rural and urban contexts, different educational levels (from preschool to university), and university and vocational education. This book will be rewarding reading for educational scholars, those interested in theories of social and educational justice, and anyone interested in contemporary perspectives on education, childhood and youth, inclusion, and justice.
Download or read book Affirming Methodologies written by Camille Nakhid and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affirming Methodologies: Research and Education in the Caribbean centres local and indigenous ways of knowing in research and education praxis in the Caribbean. The research methodologies and pedagogies are presented in this book within an Affirming Methodologies framework. They bring forward localized epistemologies whereby Caribbean ways of being and knowing are affirmed, and the expected western hierarchies between researcher and researched are removed. The chapters present approaches to knowledge construction and knowledge sharing based on practices, lived experiences, traditions, language patterns, and rituals of Caribbean communities. The importance of an Affirming Methodologies approach is demonstrated, and the characteristics of culturally affirming research methodologies and pedagogies in diverse environments including Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and the Caribbean diaspora in Aotearoa New Zealand and Canada are explored and presented. Grounded on an understanding of the authors’ Caribbean positionality, ontological distinctions within the Caribbean research context are considered. This book moves forward from a decolonizing methodology approach, and, as such, the chapters are written, not in opposition to, or tested against Eurocentric approaches to research, but deeply rooted in a Caribbean ethos. This book will engage researchers (both qualitative and quantitative), postgraduate students, academics, practitioners, policymakers, community workers, and lay persons who seek to employ culturally relevant local and indigenous research approaches in their work. Each chapter offers practical suggestions on the 'how' of research practice, making them accessible, relevant, and flexible for novice and seasoned researchers alike.
