Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few decades, US business and industry have been transformed by the advances and redundancies produced by the knowledge economy. The workplace has changed, and much of the work differs from that performed by previous generations. Can human capital accumulation in the United States keep pace with the evolving demands placed on it, and how can the workforce of tomorrow acquire the skills and competencies that are most in demand? Education, Skills, and Technical Change explores various facets of these questions and provides an overview of educational attainment in the United States and the channels through which labor force skills and education affect GDP growth. Contributors to this volume focus on a range of educational and training institutions and bring new data to bear on how we understand the role of college and vocational education and the size and nature of the skills gap. This work links a range of research areas—such as growth accounting, skill development, higher education, and immigration—and also examines how well students are being prepared for the current and future world of work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Modern Education: An Account of the Course of Educational Opinion and Practice From the Revival of Learning to the Present Decade This book has grown out of the lectures given by the author in Cornell University during the past six years, and it comprises the last half of his course on the history of education. There should be a place, not only amongst teachers, but also in a very considerable class of enlightened friends of education, for a work depicting in a moderate compass the rise and development of modern methods of instruction, the growth of educational systems and organizations, and the course of modern ideas of education as revealed in the works of representative men. Though much that may be given in such a work naturally has its important forerunners in far earlier ages, still the course of educational events since the revival of learning in the 15th century, has in itself such a degree of self dependence as adapts it for separate treatment. Besides, it is probable that many persons who would be eager to know the more recent precursors of the present condition of education, would be less interested in ancient and medieval methods and means of instruction, or in the ideas of education expressed by ancient sages; at least until a knowledge of later educational history should have excited in them the desire for an acquaintance with the fathers of educational efforts and thought.

Download or read book Revival School Education 1929 written by Mason M. Charlotte and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School Education, the third volume of Charlotte Mason's Homeschooling Series, consists of thoughts about the teaching and curriculum of children aged 9-12, either at school or at home. She suggests that parents should practice what she calls "masterly inactivity"-not neglectful or permissive parenting, but simply allowing children to work things out for themselves, do things for themselves, learn from their own mistakes, and to have time for free play, and space for spontaneity. Charlotte Mason uses "living books" instead of dry textbooks; in this book, she discusses what kinds of books to look for in each subject, and how to use them to teach children to love knowledge and become real readers and lifelong learners. Charlotte Mason was a late nineteenth-century British educator whose ideas were far ahead of her time. She believed that children are born persons worthy of respect, rather than blank slates, and that it was better to feed their growing minds with living literature and vital ideas and knowledge, rather than dry facts and knowledge filtered and pre-digested by the teacher. Her method of education, still used by some private schools and many homeschooling families, is gentle and flexible, especially with younger children, and includes first-hand exposure to great and noble ideas through books in each school subject, conveying wonder and arousing curiosity, and through reflection upon great art, music, and poetry; nature observation as the primary means of early science teaching; use of manipulatives and real-life application to understand mathematical concepts and learning to reason, rather than rote memorization and working endless sums; and an emphasis on character and on cultivating and maintaining good personal habits. Schooling is teacher-directed, not child-led, but school time should be short enough to allow students free time to play and to pursue their own worthy interests such as handicrafts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Modern Education: An Account of the Course of Educational Opinion and Practice From the Revival of Learning to the Present Decade The chief difficulty in its preparation has arisen from the abundance and complexity of the materials that have been presented. An attempt has been made, by a careful selection of truly representative facts and personages, by a rigid exclusion of all other matters however intrinsically interesting, and by treating the several centuries from the standpoint of what in them seemed most characteristic, to con struct a narrative which should be truthful and perspicuous without being unduly bulky. The reader will judge how far this attempt has been successful. The works to which the author has been specially indebted have been so frequently mentioned in the following pages that it seems needless to enumerate them here.

Download or read book The Revival of Values Education in Asia the West written by W. K. Cummings and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is clear from cross-national investigations that the concern with values education is universal, but that national approaches to the critical questions confronting value educators are extraordinarily diverse. This volume begins by examining the context of the revival of values education, and asks why it is gaining new impact in national and local educational systems. Chapter 2 helps to locate values education in its historical time and place. The case studies presented in Chapters 3-9 provide examples of the major variations in national practice in Asia and the West; and the concluding chapter identifies many of the options open to educational leaders. The aim of the book is to provide both practitioners and scholars with insights into the latest developments so that they can approach their work with broader vision and compassion.
