Download or read book Educational Research the Ethics and Aesthetics of Statistics written by Paul Smeyers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-12-25 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistics are everywhere. Their power and their undoubted efficacy in many areas have given rise to faith in measurement and metrics. More of them will tell us all that we need to know. Their use carries with it a number of presuppositions: that reality can be satisfactorily represented and that it can be controlled or the risks managed. The papers in this book interpret the ethics and aesthetics of statistics in terms of representation, visualisation and accessibility, focus on the appeal of ‘simplicity’, of technical languages, numbers, diagrams and pictures, and pay attention to their connection with action plans. The book explores what has made educational researchers dependent on statistics, and deals with their use in areas such as the prevalence of maltreatment of children, European citizenship, well-being and happiness, illegal migrants, and university expansion. There is discussion of how the quest for more and better statistics finds its voice in policy initiatives that become slogans, and how public opinion polls are used to rationalise political decision-making. Can a more limited and modest use be made of statistics which does not deflect attention away from education’s core business and which does not destroy the local practical knowledge that on which good education is based? ‘Smeyers and Depaepe continue to bring together a significant international group of educational philosophers and historians on topics of importance to researchers. This fifth volume in their series takes up the ‘gold standard’ use of statistics in case studies not contributed elsewhere. I highly recommend this text to counter a current over-emphasis on technique in research methodology. Use of statistics remains but herein under new, insightful conceptualizations.’ Lynda Stone, Philosophy of Education, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA ‘Once again, Depaepe and Smeyers succeeded in bringing together distinguished international and cross-disciplinary scholars exploring very timely and critical issues in current educational research. This is a groundbreaking book on a theme that can’t be ignored by educational researchers and those interested in a better understanding of the culture of science and science as culture. Moreover, the present book instigates to study history of educational research, a limited but developing field, and invites reflection to those who are sometimes too reliant on number crunching as a mode of interpretation and rather credulous in the acceptance of institutional records.

Download or read book Public or Private Goods written by Brigitte Unger and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the core public tasks that the state has traditionally provided but which increasingly are being privatized and subsumed by the private sector. The night-watchman state role of providing security is instead offered by private prisons and security guards. Legitimized by the argument of efficiency gains, social security including public housing, pensions, unemployment insurance and health care are all being gradually privatized. This book argues that on the basis of efficiency, morality and equality there is still an overwhelming need for public intervention – the res publica. Although the state still funds and regulates core domains, it provides fewer and fewer visible goods. The authors show how this apparent invisibility of the state presents serious challenges for both income equality and democracy.

Download or read book Comparative Education Statistics Population statistics for educational planning and the provision of education written by J. J. Bezuidenhout and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research project was to compile and analyze data concerning the composition and geographic distribution of South Africa's population for the purpose of future educational planning to meet the needs of four population groups. This document contains statistics and conclusions on: (1) the role of population shifts and urbanization; (2) economic development effects on internal migration; (3) age distribution and population growth; and (4) population projections. The findings indicate that the total population change between 1904 and 1980 included a six percent decrease in Whites, a five percent increase in Blacks, and a one-half percent increase in both Coloreds and Asians. Statistics for 1970 and 1980 indicate an easterly and northeasterly population migration. The four population group's age distribution patterns suggest that: (1) White's constitute the oldest group; (2) Asians, in 1960, comprised the youngest segment; but (3) by 1980, Blacks had become the youngest population group. Tables, maps, an index, and a bibliography are included. (JHP)

Download or read book GOOCHELEN MET CIJFERS EN SJOEMELEN MET DE WAARHEID Hoe de politiek ons voortdurend beliegt bedriegt en voor de gek houdt written by Dirk Barreveld and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-09-21 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De voordelen van de euro, de Hoge Snelheidslijn, de Betuwe Lijn, de JSF, de Fyra, etc. het zijn allemaal voorbeelden van zaken waarbij onze overheid de zaken veel rooskleuriger voorstelde dan in werkelijkheid het geval was. Waarom goochelen ze met cijfers en liegt men ons iedere keer voor? Weet men niet beter of doet men dit met opzet? Het is een grote puinhoop. Er is iets fundamenteel mis met de manier waarop onze overheid te werk gaat. We zitten nu al op een percentage allochtonen in onze bevolking dat hoger is dan toen de Vlamingen in 1600 en masse naar de Noordelijke Nederlanden vluchtten. Wie gaat dat allemaal betalen? Dan is er het failliete Amerika, daar kan niemand meer onderuit. Als Europa er niet in slaagt om de miljoenen stroom 'vluchtelingen' te keren dan wacht ons hetzelfde lot als de Romeinen in het jaar 469. Ons bestaan staat serieus ter discussie, dat is geen grap. Houdt onze overheid ons voor de gek?
