Download or read book La direcci n de centros Gesti n tica y pol tica written by Rosa Vázquez Recio and published by Ediciones Morata. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra se propone abordar la dirección de centros desde una mirada atenta que parte del análisis de las tendencias dominantes marcadas por unos discursos y unas prácticas que no se olvidan del pasado, y que tienen como fin la búsqueda de la calidad a través de una serie de exigencias. Éstas se justifican desde el modelo de competencias (hoy tan de moda). Con exclusividad, la responsabilidad de tal propósito recae en los directores y las directoras. Partiendo de este análisis, se ofrece un planteamiento alternativo que, siendo consciente de las demandas del mundo globalizado y de las regulaciones administrativas, prioriza elementos que atraviesan la acción directiva y que se proyectan de manera permanente en la cotidianidad de las escuelas; elementos que tienen que ver con la ética y la política y que son, precisamente, consustanciales a la educación. Pero también contempla otros que son inherentes a las relaciones y las interacciones entre los sujetos de la escuela (profesorado, alumnado, dirección), y que remiten a los motivos, los deseos, la confianza/desconfianza, etc. Todos estos elementos re-sitúan la gestión de la dirección, y sin ellos ésta no puede ser comprendida. Desde este planteamiento será posible ofrecer propuestas -no soluciones cerradas- para una dirección sostenible que persiga la calidad desde el compromiso compartido y que garantice una dinámica organizativa basada en la equidad y la justicia social. La dirección de centros: Ética, Política y Gestión no está destinado sólo a quienes están desempeñando el cargo o pretenden hacerlo, sino también a los profesionales de la educación que forman parte, directa e indirectamente, de la construcción de las escuelas como espacios educativos y sociopolíticos. Su propósito es repensar, desde otras claves, el sentido ético-político y educativo de la acción directiva en contextos cambiantes y vulnerables.

Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of Religious Education written by Derek Davis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and what to teach about religion is controversial in every country. The Routledge International Handbook of Religious Education is the first book to comprehensively address the range of ways that major countries around the world teach religion in public and private educational institutions. It discusses how three models in particular seem to dominate the landscape. Countries with strong cultural traditions focused on a majority religion tend to adopt an "identification model," where instruction is provided only in the tenets of the majority religion, often to the detriment of other religions and their adherents. Countries with traditions that differentiate church and state tend to adopt a "separation model," thus either offering instruction in a wide range of religions, or in some cases teaching very little about religion, intentionally leaving it to religious institutions and the home setting to provide religious instruction. Still other countries attempt "managed pluralism," in which neither one, nor many, but rather a limited handful of major religious traditions are taught. Inevitably, there are countries which do not fit any of these dominant models and the range of methods touched upon in this book will surprise even the most enlightened reader. Religious instruction by educational institutions in 53 countries and regions of the world are explored by experts native to each country. These chapters discuss: Legal parameters in terms of subjective versus objective instruction in religion Constitutional, statutory, social and political contexts to religious approaches Distinctions between the kinds of instruction permitted in elementary and secondary schools versus what is allowed in institutions of higher learning. Regional assessments which provide a welcome overview and comparison. This comprehensive and authoritative volume will appeal to educators, scholars, religious leaders, politicians, and others interested in how religion and education interface around the world.

Download or read book An Opportunity for a Different Peru written by Marcelo Giugale and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in the republican history of Peru, the presidential transition takes place in democracy, social peace, fast economic growth and favorable world markets. In other words, there has never been a better chance to build a different Peru - a richer country, more equal and governable. There are multiple ways to achieve that goal. New reforms must stem from a widespread and participatory debate, one of a common vision conceived for and by Peruvians. This book aims at making a technical and independent contribution to such debate; it summarizes the knowledge available about the challenges to be faced by the new administration. The study does not recommend silver bullets, but suggests policy options. It is based on the analysis of the current reality and in six decades of relationships with Peru, in which the Bank has implemented more than 100 projects and prepared more than 500 technical reports covering the wide range of development topics. When necessary, the study provides lessons that the Bank has learned elsewhere. The study provides a conceptual framework to the analysis of the country's 34 economic sectors and the two historical perspectives behind them. In doing so, it offers a comprehensive reform agenda that sheds light on possible priorities and courses of action.

Download or read book Ethics for Behavior Analysts written by Jon Bailey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavior analysis, a rapidly growing profession, began with the use and application of conditioning and learning techniques to modify the behavior of children or adults presenting severe management problems, often because of developmental disabilities. Now behavior analysts work in a variety of settings, from clinics and schools to workplaces. Especially since their practice often involves aversive stimuli or punishment, they confront many special ethical challenges. Recently, the Behavior Analysis Certification Board codified a set of ten fundamental ethical guidelines to be followed by all behavior analysts and understood by all students and trainees seeking certification. This book shows readers how to follow the BACB guidelines in action. The authors first describe core ethical principles and then explain each guideline in detail, in easily comprehensible, everyday language. The text is richly illuminated by more than a hundred vivid case scenarios about which the authors pose, and later answer questions for readers. Useful appendices include the BACB Guidelines, an index to them, practice scenarios, and suggested further reading. Practitioners, instructors, supervisors, students, and trainees alike will welcome this invaluable new aid to professional development.
