Download or read book The Future of Action Research in Education written by Kurt W. Clausen and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the action research community across Canada is a vibrant one, it remains scattered, dismissed as rootless and still unproven. This book illuminates action research as a vital and long-established Canadian perspective, taking stock of its use in education by a wide array of scholars and practitioners. Reflecting an inclusive range of viewpoints from twenty-two scholars across the nation, chapters show without question that action research - encompassing collaborative, iterative, and practice-based research - is a growing field in Canada. Authors bring a range of experiences that speak to the many facets of this movement. They discuss historical foundations, individual and large-scale projects dealing with a multitude of subject areas and educational practices, and participatory methods that speak to the discipline's capacity to engage with the pressing social issues of our time. A timely intervention that threads the field together and serves as both a reference and a guide to further work, The Future of Action Research in Education draws clear links between the past and future and maps bold new directions for this approach.

Download or read book A New World of Knowledge written by International Development Research Centre (Canada) and published by IDRC. This book was released on 1999 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In communications, health care, and economics, events, discoveries, and decisions that originate beyond national borders today routinely influence national policies and practices. But how are our system of education, and particularly our universities, affected by globalization? A New World of Knowledge examines how globalization has obliged universities in Canada to reassess and rethink the international dimension of their mission and practice. All now include an international dimension in their mission statement. Is this a true statement of educational principles? Or is it simply a marketing message intended to position the university to cope with budget reductions through the sale of educational services? A New World of Knowledge looks at the important role that Canadian universities have played in shaping Canada's response to the problems of international development. It provides the historical backdrop and level of analysis needed to properly inform choices for the future of higher education in Canada and abroad. The book will interest teachers and administrators in institutions of higher education, especially in international affairs and educational studies; practitioners in organizations that depend on university linkages (such as in NGOs and research-granting organizations); government officials in the education sector; and students looking for an international education.

Download or read book The Future of University Research written by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and published by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ; [Washington, D.C. : available from OECD Publications and Information Center]. This book was released on 1981 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The function of the research-related activities of universities in countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is examined. Additionally, the extent to which the universities are affected by the demands placed upon them, and implications of the situation for the future well-being of the scientific enterprise in OECD countries are addressed. The kinds of pressures acting on the university systems of member countries include: fluctuations in student enrollments; slow-down in the growth of financial resources and a change in the balance between the sources of research funds; government pressure for what is considered to be socially relevant research; and the effects of changing social values (democratization, employment protection, and the growth of bureaucratization of university research). Responses to these constraints include: new modes of distributing resources, separation of teaching and research, stratification of institutions and staff, and recruitment and mobility. It is suggested that in many member countries, national science policy bodies, or research funding bodies, continue to formulate priorities that have no reference to what scientists regard as worthy of study. Policy implications of trends toward separating research from teaching and of funding research to a certain proportion of the total number of universities are considered. Additional concerns include: flexibility of research performance, enrollments in postgraduate degree programs, availability of equipment for research, and performance of applied versus basic research.
