Download or read book Europeanisation in Teacher Education written by Vasileios Symeonidis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the phenomenon and process of Europeanisation in the field of teacher education. Drawing on comparative case studies in Austria, Greece and Hungary, it examines empirical data and analyses key themes around the continuum of teacher education, the development of teacher competence frameworks, and the support to teacher educators. The book is the first of its kind to systematically research the landscape of European teacher education, exploring the interactions between national and European influences in the trajectory of teacher education policy and practice. Chapters offer an original and in-depth understanding of European influences that draw on evidence from policy documents and interviews with relevant stakeholders. It argues that teacher education systems are being Europeanised, although at different speeds and directions for each country. Factors such as the socio-political and economic contexts, historical traits and policy actors’ preferences at both national and institutional levels determine the translation process. This book will be of great interest for academics, educational researchers, practitioners and policymakers in Europe and beyond, informing wider discussions about the emerging European context in teacher education, education policy and what it means to be a European teacher.

Download or read book Changing Educational Landscapes written by Dimitris Mattheou and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-04-08 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing educational landscapes – the fundamental values, principles and institutions of the sector – is a highly complex and demanding task for any researcher. Like shifting desert sands, these aspects of education are in a constant state of flux, changing according to the unpredictable economic, social, cultural and geo-political circumstances of late modernity. Key aspects of the intricate, fluid and multifarious contemporary setting can always escape the researcher’s necessarily selective observation. The contributors to this book share the view that it is wise, therefore, to take note of other people’s ideas, perceptions and perspectives, to compare notes and reflect critically on them. Thus the papers presented here are a critical and comparative analysis of today’s changing educational landscapes. They are an exploration of some of the forces and factors that induce these changes, and also examine some of their most significant implications. The work takes a fresh look at received ideology and institutional practices and delineates the increasingly internationalized educational discourses and policies. Among other things, the book discusses the obsession with quality in education and the alternative perceptions of educational equality; the rising concern at the obstacles to truly multicultural education, and the debate about the epistemological foundations both of knowledge and knowledge production. Underlying all of the papers in the book is the authors’ intention to enhance our understanding of educational change in this era of transition and to further our appreciation of its multifaceted expressions across the world.
Download or read book Crisis Austerity and New Frameworks for Teaching and Learning written by Maria Chalari and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to examine the educational consequences of the recent social and economic situation in Greece, and it explores—on a general level—new possibilities for teaching and learning at times of national crisis. Using Greece as an exemplary case, Maria Chalari demonstrates how the relationship between neo-liberalism and education is especially salient during difficult times; it also demonstrates the effect of this relationship on teachers’ day-to-day experiences. By attending to, yet moving beyond, the negative implications of socio-economic crisis, this volume aims to present core educational values of the current era, as well as the crucial issues that may become opportunities for reflection and change.
Download or read book Effects of the Greek Economic Crisis on Teacher Social Capital written by Galateia Eleanna Tsoumani and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Background: To ensure a proper educational status of its work force, a country needs to periodically reform its education system to correspond to the changing demands of the global market. The mobilization of teacher social capital, i.e., the activation of teachers' social ties to access resources, plays an essential role in the successful spread of an education reform. But as globalized markets experience economic turbulences, it is challenging to sustain education reform in countries under severe crisis. Though teacher social capital might play a counter-balancing role in such situations, the lack of published knowledge on the effects of economic shocks on teacher social capital and its mobilization makes it impossible to predict what policies could protect and ideally increase teacher social capital in the midst of a severe economic shock. Objectives: To examine the impact of the financial and legislative dimensions of the ongoing economic crisis in Greece on teacher social capital during a simultaneous reform of the public education system. Design and methods: The present study employed a qualitative, exploratory multiple case design. Network analysis constructs were operationalized in a qualitative manner to best capture social capital and analyze possible changes in it as perceived by the individuals. Results: Both the quantity and quality of the participants' social capital were overall negatively affected by both the economic and legislative dimension of the economic crisis. Most notably, weak and peripheral ties became weaker; formation of new social ties and strengthening of existing ties were hindered due to reduced face-to-face interaction and increased mistrust. Conclusion: Governments faced with economic crisis should adopt policies that acknowledge and preserve informal teacher social capital, increasing their chances to sustain the spread of education reform and to safeguard pre-crisis achievement."--Page xii.
Download or read book Private Tutoring Across the Mediterranean written by Mark Bray and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private tutoring—supplementary, out-of-school instruction offered at a fee to individuals or groups—represents a substantial household expenditure, even in systems that claim to have free public education. It plays out across, alongside, and even within some school systems. Emerging as a ‘shadow education’, private tutoring now operates as a system and industry crossing national, regional, and social-class boundaries. Private tutoring is provided through different modes of delivery including the internet. Policy makers, parents, teachers, trade unions, corporations, community associations, and students are implicated in the private tutoring industry. The debates over private tutoring are therefore part of the larger struggles over the ends of education in just and equitable societies. The authors in this volume address diverse national settings of private tutoring across the Mediterranean, and examine its political, economic, social, and cultural underpinnings. They draw on a range of conceptual frameworks, and deploy a variety of research methods to problematize the multifaceted relationships between tutoring, learning, and equity. The volume captures a multiplicity of voices, and focuses on some of the central challenges facing education in pluralistic societies
Download or read book Comparative Perspectives on Inquiry Based Science Education written by Bevins, Stuart and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core practice of professional scientists is inquiry, often referred to as research. If educators are to prepare students for a role in the professional scientific and technological community, exposing them to inquiry-based learning is essential. Despite this, inquiry-based teaching and learning (IBTL) remains relatively rare, possibly due to barriers that teachers face in deploying it or to a lack of belief in the teaching community that inquiry-based learning is effective. Comparative Perspectives on Inquiry-Based Science Education examines stories and experiences from members of an international science education project that delivered learning resources based around guided inquiry for students to a wide range of schools in 12 different countries in order to identify key themes that can provide useful insights for student learning, teacher support, and policy formulation at the continental level. The book provides case studies across these 12 different settings that enable readers to compare and contrast both practice and policy issues with their own contexts while accessing a cutting-edge model of professional development. It is designed for educators, instructional designers, administrators, principals, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students seeking current and relevant research on international education and education strategies for science courses.
