Download or read book Sociology and Education written by Nathalie Bulle and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociology and Education is a sound introduction to sociology of education. The book examines the respective logics behind the contemporary sociological approaches to education, their assumptions and their limits. It clarifies the links between psychology of cognitive development, micro-sociology and macro-sociology, as well as the role ascribed to human reason in social action. Special attention is given to major scientific discussions and empirical findings regarding inequality of educational opportunity. Rooted in both American and European sociology, the book helps the reader grasp the viewpoint of the different theoretical approaches to formal education and thus to envisage new perspectives.

Download or read book The Anthem Companion to Raymond Boudon written by Christian Robitaille and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to identify the main threads of a resolutely complex course of thought which has contributed greatly to sociology. Although he founded no “school,” Raymond Boudon certainly made original contributions to the discipline in his own time, including his theory of rationality, his interpretation of the work of the founders of sociology, and his explanation of educational inequalities. He also presented convincing arguments about how the overly narrow utilitarianism of mainstream economists was incomplete and betrayed major theoretical gaps. It is true in any case that his thought laid the groundwork for many theoretical and empirical social studies. Through an analysis of the most important parts of this thought, each of the chapters will not merely demonstrate the scientific rigor which can be associated to his work, but also show how it remains relevant to our understanding of contemporary society and how it can hence be used for future research projects. There can be no doubt, Boudon’s thought has for various reasons undergone new assessments. Chapters of this book hence reflect a variety of points of view on how his work can be understood, criticized, and used for future research endeavors.

Download or read book D cision et Action written by POMEROL Jean-Charles and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quelle que soit l’importance de la décision, l’hésitation peut paralyser l’action. S’intéressant à la décision pour l’action, le décideur est alors, soit confronté aux théoriciens qui ne se mettent pas à sa portée, soit renvoyé à des études de cas trop souvent anecdotiques. Ce livre établit un lien entre la décision, l’action et les théories récentes de l’intelligence artificielle, de la neurobiologie et de la psychologie. Quels sont les principaux comportements psychologiques dont il faut se méfier ? Quel est le rôle de l’intuition ou de l’émotion ? Comment éviter la manipulation ? Quel est le bon usage de la planification ? Comment rester rationnel sans être un expert des probabilités ? Comment passer de la décision à l’action ? Illustré par de nombreux exemples, cet ouvrage répond, dans un langage simple et didactique, aux interrogations des managers.

Download or read book valuations nationales des acquis scolaires Volume 1 written by Vincent Greaney and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La connaissance remplaçant progressivement les matières premières et la main-d'oeuvre en tant que ressource clé du développement économique, la disponibilité de savoirs et savoir-faire humains est cruciale pour déterminer le taux de développement économique d’un pays et sa compétitivité sur le marché international. L'utilisation croissante de la capacité nationale d'évaluation a permis aux ministères de l'Éducation de décrire les niveaux nationaux des acquis des élèves dans les principales disciplines et de comparer ceux des principaux sous-groupes (tels que les garçons et les filles, les groupes ethniques, les élèves des milieux urbains et ruraux, et ceux des établissements publics et privés). Cela leur a également fourni des données probantes pour confirmer ou réfuter les affirmations d'amélioration ou de dégradation des normes de performance des élèves dans le temps. En dépit de l'accroissement de l'activité d'évaluation, la valeur potentielle des données fournies par les évaluations est encore mal reconnue, et les compétences requises pour mener une évaluation techniquement solide continuent à manquer. Lorsque les pays réalisent une évaluation nationale ou participent à une évaluation internationale, l'information ainsi recueillie n'est pas souvent complètement exploitée. Évaluer les niveaux nationaux de performance dans l'éducation décrit les objectifs et les caractéristiques des évaluations nationales ainsi que les questions liées à la conception, la mise en oeuvre, l'analyse et la production des rapports. Ce volume décrit également les principales évaluations internationales, régionales et nationales dans un grand nombre de pays. Cet ouvrage sera d'un intérêt certain pour les pouvoirs publics nationaux, régionaux et étatiques, les institutions de recherche et les universités.

Download or read book Challenges of Education Financing and Planning in Africa What Works and What Does Not Work written by Adebayo Olukoshi and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2007-01-15 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume highlights the proceedings of the two policy dialogue conferences held by the Working Group on Finance and Education (WGFE) in 2004. Part I of the document discusses the endemic crisis that higher educationhas been beset with since the outset of the post colonial period in Africa. It highlights the critical state of higher education systems in Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria and Senegal by scrutinizing the causes, manifestations and consequences of the crisis to posit useful recommendations and possible solutions. Part II is a comprehensive review of the challenges facing the financing and planning of all levels and types ofeducation - from kindergarten to graduate school - in selected African countries. The papers reveal the sources and mechanisms of funding education in Africa, drawing attention to the experiences of communities confronted with new funding sources. A new trend, which consists of designing decade long educational development plans, has emerged and is rapidly expanding in numerous African countries. This experience is examined and shared by the authors. This book has contributions in both French and English.

Download or read book Religious Diversity in Canadian Public Schools written by Dia Dabby and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian public schools have long been entrusted with the mandate of socializing children. Yet this duty can rest uneasily alongside religious diversity questions. Grounding its analysis in three seminal Supreme Court cases involving religion in schools, Religious Diversity in Canadian Public Schools reveals legal processes that are unduly linear, compressing multidimensional conversations into an oppositional format and stripping away the voices of children themselves. Dia Dabby contends that schools are in fact microsystems worthy of their own consideration, and with the power to construct their own rules and relationships. This compelling work connects many of the themes that have animated public discourse since multiculturalism was officially enacted in Canada. Situating its analysis in relation to concepts of nation, education, and diversity, Religious Diversity in Canadian Public Schools encourages a deeper conversation about how religion is mediated through public schools and invites a critical reassessment of the role of law in education.
