Download or read book Group dynamics in the multiethnic school written by Debora Mugnaini and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on group dynamics in the multiethnic school and their implications for students' social-emotional integration and development. The study examines the history of schooling in Italy, with particular attention to the transition towards a multi-ethnic school. In addition, the role of intelligence tests in school and the criticisms associated with them are analysed. Another important area of investigation concerns the phenomenon of migration in Italy and its history, as well as the effects of migration on individuals and society. In particular, it examines the integration process of migrants in the Italian school and the challenges they can face in their psycho-social adaptation. The development of the social self and the identity of the migrant are further explored, using the theory of self discrepancy and the theory of social perception. The role of categorization and stereotypes in social perception and in the formation of social patterns is also analysed. The second part of the study focuses on group dynamics, including conformity, obedience and social identity. It examines the basic principles of Social Identity theory (Tajfel, 1979) and social influence both by the majority and by the minority. Finally, interactions in groups are explored, with a focus on prejudice and its manifestations, including those at a young age. The goal is to understand group dynamics in the multi-ethnic school in order to promote integration and create an inclusive environment for all students. Through an in-depth analysis of current theories and research in the field of social psychology, this thesis provides a comprehensive overview of group dynamics in the multiethnic school and offers suggestions for interventions and strategies aimed at fostering student integration and well-being.

Download or read book Group Dynamics in the Language Classroom written by Zoltán Dörnyei and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-16 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working, learning and living in groups is a central feature of humans, and therefore the study of groups called group dynamics is a vibrant academic field, overlapping diverse areas such as psychology, sociology, business studies and political science. It is also highly relevant to language education because the success of classroom learning is very much dependent on how students relate to each other, what the classroom climate is like, what roles the teacher and the learners play and, more generally, how well students can cooperate and communicate with each other. This innovative book addresses these issues and offers practical advice on how to manage language learner groups in a way that they develop into cohesive and productive teams. Educators interested in communicative language teaching will particularly welcome this book as a useful guide in their day-to-day teaching practice.

Download or read book Dynamic Management and Leadership in Education written by Anthony Kelly and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a new integrated theory of dynamic management and leadership in one comprehensive approach. It offers a new way of looking at the field, drawing on a wide body of research and practice in the fields of leadership and management, across all sectors in education and more broadly. The book focuses on management against a backdrop of leadership theory. Including examples of practice and application in schools, colleges and universities, it uses a range of historical leadership approaches to scaffold different management techniques that are known to work in effective organisations. It explores the overlap between management and leadership as dynamic theoretical and practical activities, merging the two together into a holistic model that can be applied by managers working in educational settings. Its twenty-six chapters also consider the praxis of educational leadership and management from political, economic and ethical perspectives in relation to issues such as equity and widening participation, and outline how ‘managership’ impacts on student achievement. Offering a unique balance of theory and practice, across school, college and university sectors, the book will be of great interest to researchers, academics, graduate students and practitioners in the field of educational leadership and management, and will be important reading for all stakeholders in the area of educational effectiveness and improvement.
