This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has recently been a societal push to better achieve equity for all, with many bringing to light the bias, racism, and discrimination that many factions face on a daily basis. Naturally, integrating diversity and social inclusion thoughts into the classroom is one of the best ways to start changing the mindset of society and promoting more inclusive practices in the next generations. Therefore, diversity and social inclusion have become common approaches in the planning and management of primary, secondary, and higher education schools in many international contexts. However, there are certainly challenges that must be overcome in developing these new practices and their implementation within teacher curriculum. Instilling Diversity and Social Inclusion Practices in Teacher Education and Curriculum Development provides an analysis of educational inclusion practices and identifies university students’ voices on diversity and social inclusion. It further assesses teacher performance in an international online training context and promotes a model of curriculum development on diversity and social inclusion. Covering topics such as culturally competent teachers, student academic achievement, and attitudes towards diversity, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for teacher educators, pre-service teachers, administrators and educators of both K-12 and higher education, social workers, researchers, and academicians.

Download or read book Gender and Climate Change An Introduction written by Irene Dankelman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although climate change affects everybody it is not gender neutral. It has significant social impacts and magnifies existing inequalities such as the disparity between women and men in their vulnerability and ability to cope with this global phenomenon. This new textbook, edited by one of the authors of the seminal Women and the Environment in the Third World: Alliance for the Future (1988) which first exposed the links between environmental degradation and unequal impacts on women, provides a comprehensive introduction to gender aspects of climate change. Over 35 authors have contributed to the book. It starts with a short history of the thinking and practice around gender and sustainable development over the past decades. Next it provides a theoretical framework for analyzing climate change manifestations and policies from the perspective of gender and human security. Drawing on new research, the actual and potential effects of climate change on gender equality and women's vulnerabilities are examined, both in rural and urban contexts. This is illustrated with a rich range of case studies from all over the world and valuable lessons are drawn from these real experiences. Too often women are primarily seen as victims of climate change, and their positive roles as agents of change and contributors to livelihood strategies are neglected. The book disputes this characterization and provides many examples of how women around the world organize and build resilience and adapt to climate change and the role they are playing in climate change mitigation. The final section looks at how far gender mainstreaming in climate mitigation and adaptation has advanced, the policy frameworks in place and how we can move from policy to effective action. Accompanied by a wide range of references and key resources, this book provides students and professionals with an essential, comprehensive introduction to the gender aspects of climate change.

Book excerpt: El Programa de Formación e Innovación para Atender a la Primera Infancia desde la Universidad Pública es el resultado de una iniciativa encabezada por el Dr. Luciano Concheiro Bórquez, Subsecretario de Educación Superior, quien, a partir de una visión de educación compartida, convocó a diversos actores a unir esfuerzos en la reorganización de nuestro sistema educativo y sus políticas públicas y así contribuir a la gran transformación nacional desde sus cimientos. Este llamado tuvo eco en 16 IES afiliadas a la ANUIES, siendo la UATx la encargada de coordinar los trabajos bajo el liderazgo del Dr. Luis Armando González Placencia y del Dr. Serafín Ortiz Ortiz. Caminando Juntos, Volumen 1 es uno de los primeros resultados del Programa y en éste se presentan algunos de los productos de investigación elaborados por los Cuerpos Académicos Interinstitucionales, los cuales fueron constituidos para atender las diversas problemáticas relacionadas con las primeras infancias en México. En sus páginas, el lector encontrará las realidades cotidianas que las niñas y los niños, sus comunidades y los profesionales que los atienden, deben sortear a base de creatividad, perseverancia y un alto nivel de compromiso en el logro de su desarrollo integral. Esta obra nos llevará a un recorrido que inicia en la zona costera de Chiapas y pasa por los estados del centro hasta llegar a la zona Yaqui de Sonora, exponiendo situaciones de rezago social y académico al tiempo que propone algunas alternativas innovadoras para enfrentar las situaciones de vulnerabilidad, violencia y exclusión sistemática de las que son objeto las infancias mexicanas. Sirva este primer volumen como un paso firme en el trayecto que habremos de caminar juntos para lograr que las primeras infancias mexicanas se desarrollen en plenitud, procurando espacios para que su voz sea escuchada y donde reciban un cuidado amoroso y sensible.

Download or read book Hacia la inclusi n educativa en la Universidad written by Coral Elizondo Carmona and published by Ediciones Octaedro. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hablar de innovación en educación es hablar de transformar. La innovación es un cambio, un cambio basado en evidencias, un cambio con profundas raíces en la educación inclusiva. En el momento actual no se concibe la innovación si no es para incluir a todo el alumnado. En este libro se habla de propuestas para lograr el objetivo de desarrollo sostenible número 4 de la Agenda 2030: Garantizar una educación inclusiva, equitativa y de calidad a todo el alumnado y promover oportunidades de aprendizaje durante toda la vida para todos. Se recoge el marco teórico en el que se debe sustentar la educación del siglo XXI: una educación transformadora que rompa con el mito del estudiante promedio y del currículo rígido, y contemple el diseño universal para el aprendizaje (DUA) como el paradigma que ofrece oportunidades de aprendizaje a todas las personas. El DUA permite partir de la variabilidad humana con la finalidad de diseñar en función de ella y personalizar así el aprendizaje. Tanto si eres docente como estudiante, este libro te interesará y te ayudará a comprender el paradigma educativo actual que incorpora los avances en el campo de la neurociencia, pero también las teorías cognitivas del aprendizaje y los distintos modelos pedagógicos actuales.

Download or read book Precarious Places written by Tadeusz Rachwał and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers a cross-disciplinary perspective on various aspects of precariousness in contemporary culture and society, concentrating on the topographical aspects of sources and causes of uncertainty and anxiety. Precariousness and precarity are themselves provisional and uncertain categories, though ones inviting to rethinking the scopes of precarity and precariousness from the perspective of locality and of places involved in their otherwise global range. The recent years have shown some ways in which precarity has changed its status and has become a strongly debated area not only in economic and political disputes, but also in philosophical debates and various fields of research related to cultural studies. The articles included in the volume address the spatial scope of anxieties and uncertainties involving numerous men and women affected by the several decades of the neoliberal insistence on various kinds of flexibility which, in turn, has put in motion numerous new mechanisms of exclusion and marginalization. Apart from this, a historical view on the making of precarious places is also offered in the pages of the book.

Download or read book Diversidad e inclusi n educativa written by Luis Ortiz Jiménez and published by Ediciones Octaedro. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A menudo se asocia la idea de educación inclusiva a la de quimera. Hay congresos internacionales que llegan a definir la inclusión como " esa maravillosa utopía" o que optan por el título "I nclusión: una utopía posible". En el fondo, se deja entrever que solo podemos hablar de inclusión desde un punto de vista teórico, a fin de mantener una cierta distancia entre lo que se piensa o se plantea al respecto en la literatura y lo que realmente sucede en las aulas. En palabras de Echeita y Ainscow (2011), la inclusión debe ser vista como una búsqueda constante de las mejores maneras de responder a la diversidad del alumnado. Ello, transformando las culturas, las políticas y las prácticas de las escuelas para responder a las necesidades educativas de todos los alumnos (Ainscow, 2001; Arnaiz, 2003). La dificultad, pues, se sitúa en ese tránsito entre la teoría y la práctica, entre lo que se dice y lo que se hace. Por ello, tal vez sea preciso adoptar un punto de vista que parta de la propia escuela, con vistas a afrontar esos cambios en las culturas, las políticas y, aún más importante, en las prácticas que se desarrollan a diario en los centros. Este libro pretende, precisamente, acercarse desde esa realidad y desde las características de la sociedad actual, marcada por los escenarios virtuales, a la respuesta, a la práctica, de tal modo que se haga visible cómo podemos actuar en contextos educativos en pro de la inclusión y que dejemos de considerarla como un sueño. La obra se adentra inicialmente en las prácticas metodológicas desde la visión del diseño universal de aprendizaje, tocando un elemento clave del currículo como es el papel de la evaluación. A continuación, analiza la función de la docencia, tanto en materia de formación como en cuanto a las competencias clave que la hacen inclusiva. Finalmente, revisa medios y recursos que nos están llegando de la mano de la tecnología y que permiten desenvolverse en el espacio digital gracias a una creciente variedad de herramientas que redundan en una mejor configuración de cada respuesta particular, siempre dentro de un contexto inclusivo.

Download or read book Systematic Synthesis of Qualitative Research written by Michael Saini and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qualitative synthesis within the family of systematic reviews meets an urgent need to use knowledge derived from qualitative studies to inform practice, research, and policy. Despite the contingent nature of evidence gleaned from synthesis of qualitative studies, systematic synthesis is an important technique and, used judiciously, can deepen understanding of the contextual dimensions that emerge from qualitative research. This pocket guide presents an overview for planning, developing, and implementing qualitative synthesis within existing protocols and guidelines for conducting systematic reviews. The authors also explore methodological challenges, including: the philosophical tensions of integrating qualitative synthesis within the family of systematic reviews; the balance of comprehensive and iterative information retrieval strategies to locate and screen qualitative research; the use of appraisal tools to assess quality of qualitative studies; the various approaches to synthesize qualitative studies, including interpretive, integrated, and aggregative; and the tensions between the generalizability and transferability of findings that emerge from qualitative synthesis. Social work researchers, educators, and doctoral students who are interested in systematic reviews will find the step-by-step format of this book invaluable for conducting their reviews, both in the form of rapid evidence assessments and in high-quality critical reviews.

Download or read book Disabled Students in Higher Education written by Sheila Riddell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-10-09 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As wider access to higher education becomes a top priority for governments in the UK and around the world, this ground-breaking piece of work raises the challenging questions that policy-makers, vice-chancellors and government officials are reluctant to ask. A highly qualified team of authors have closely analyzed rates of participation and the experiences of disabled students in higher education over a two year period. They compare the responses of eight different universities to the new anti-discriminatory practice, contrasting their social profiles, academic missions, support systems for disabled students and approaches for the implementation of change. Change comes under particular scrutiny, with a close examination of each university’s interpretation of ‘reasonable adjustments’, and the extent to which they have modified their campuses and teaching accordingly. Student case studies are used throughout to illustrate the real impact of institutional responses to the legislation. Disabled Students in Higher Education will make fascinating reading for students of education, social policy, politics, and disability studies, and for those working towards accredited university teacher status.
