Download or read book Innovative Practices in Pre Service Teacher Education written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre-service teacher education is a crucial component of the lifelong process of the professional development of teachers as it equips prospective teachers with the necessary and sufficient competencies to design meaningful and authentic learning environments that engage students in the learning process. If done well, it enhances the quality and improves upon the retention of teachers in the profession. This book is important because it attempts to deconstruct the nature and describe the practice of current pre-service courses and programs in the Asia-Pacific region, examine new paradigms of pre-service teacher education and their implications for practice, and explore emerging innovative practices. Moreover, this book’s particular focus on engaging new partners and on harnessing required resources and capacities in the process; together with the particular role that new technologies may play in the new partnerships is especially valuable. Drawing upon leading scholars of teacher education from the Asia-Pacific region, the 12 chapters in this book are divided into three main sections to revitalize and inform the scholarship and debate on teacher education: —Examining Pre-Service Teacher Education —Engaging Partners in Pre-Service Teacher Education —Emerging Practices in Pre-Service Teacher Education
Download or read book ICT in Teacher Education written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication contains a collection of examples of "ICT in Teacher Education" projects from the Asia-Pacific region. In some cases the objective of the project was to raise the capacity of teachers to utilize ICT in teaching while in others the objective was to utilize ICT tools to improve teacher education. While these projects may not always have been successful and are not necessarily examples of "best practice", an examination of such projects offers insights into the process of educating teachers to integrate ICT into education and the process of utilizing ICT tools for training teachers. In addition, these projects provide information about the issues and obstacles that are often faced in ICT-enhanced teacher education in the region. This information will be useful to education planners, teachers, educators and researchers, particularly those in the Asia-Pacific region. The case studies were compiled within the framework of the "Training and Professional Development of Teachers and Other Facilitators for Effective Use of ICT in Improving Teaching and Learning" project, which was implemented between 2003 and 2007 by the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Programme of Educational Innovation for Development (APEID), with the support of Japanese Funds-in-Trust (JFIT).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Asia, Distance Education (DE) is providing major solutions in the areas of education and training. DE methods that are standard in other parts of the world, however, have yet to demonstrate their full potential in Asia. Covering nine DE projects by 39 researchers from 13 countries, this book analyses the DE scenario in Asia, the successes, the failures and the reasons behind them. This book is a unique collation of the results of studies of educational technologies across an extensive network of Asian countries. It also provides a useful snapshot of DE's development in Asia in the early years of the 21st century. The surveys reported cover different DE contexts, methodologies, and levels of generalisability, and add to the existing scholarship on the subject by providing previously unavailable, firm evidence about DE's prospects in Asia. The contributors give important recommendations that can be translated into practical and political actions to help solve critical socio-economic problems of Asia as well as other parts of the world.
