Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2013 in the subject Pedagogy - The Teacher, Educational Leadership, grade: A+, , language: English, abstract: The profession of a teacher always has a double ethical dimension. On the one hand, as a transmitter of knowledge he is responsible for an adequate instruction of the subjects taught by himself. On the other hand, as an educator, he has to guide his students towards a life based on ethical and moral values and personal responsibility. In a few words, he has to nurture both their intellectual growth and the growth of their character. Whereas many countries have taken the importance of the educational task into consideration by including ethics in teacher training courses, the ethical dimension of a teacher’s profession is still neglected in Germany where the focus is put on the methods of subject teaching. As a result, new teachers are unprepared to handle situations which require ethical judgement and often feel helpless when they have to take ethical decisions. So, the purpose of this report is to highlight the importance of including ethics in teacher training courses in order to show German professionals, who are responsible for teacher education, how an implementation of ethics in teacher training curricula can improve the quality of teaching and help teachers to fulfill their role as educators. As a first step, the meaning of ethics in education derived from a general definition of ethics is explained. Then, based on the results of a survey, the needs of novice teachers for an instruction in ethics are illustrated. Finally, three of the main ethical topics which are relevant for teachers are described.

This book was released on 2012-04-25 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the globe, vocational education and training is characterised by a number of over-arching trends, including the increasing use of technology, the growing importance of information and communications systems, and changes to national demographics.

This volume comprises thirty individual contributions that together add up to a comprehensive overview of the current situation in vocational education and training, its strengths and weaknesses, and its prospects. VET experts from Canada, the USA, India, China, Japan and Korea, as well as from a number of European countries, focus on their national context and how it fits in to the bigger picture.

This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology-driven trends in the modern society have transformed the ways humans think and communicate. The latest technological artefacts and devices have a profound impact on the forms of interaction between individuals and also significantly influence the process of co construction of knowledge. The COVID pandemic induced experience of remote teaching has significantly contributed to the widespread use of digital technologies in teaching - learning processes, faculty communications, research collaborations, conferences and workshops. The crisis also led to an understanding of the uncertainty of returning to conventional normal and paved way for a new normal ushered by the COVID pandemic. Such transformations create a need for Institutions to prioritize identification of perspective models of digitalization in education (Salmon, 2013). Teachers, teacher educators and policymakers need to collaborate for co-constructing the technology-assisted classroom that will gradually evolve from teaching supplements to pivotal support for creating a personal learning environment (Dabbagh et al., 2021). This article collection aims at examining teachers’ experience in implementation of computer technologies and exploring gaps and challenges in the current academic educational practice with regard to use of digital tools. Various elements of digital environment including online courses, e-resources, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence and robotics have become an integral component of learning and fostering students skills, practical teaching experience and effective professional training . It is imperative that aspects of e education are discussed at the global level in order to stimulate creation of personal learning environments, meet inclusive learning needs, support life-long education and identify relevant digital technologies for upgradation of pedagogical methods and teacher strategies in education.

Download or read book The Teaching and Study of Islam in Western Universities written by Paul Morris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public interest in the religion of Islam and in Muslim communities in recent years has generated an impetus for Western Universities to establish an array of Institutes and programs dedicated to the study of Islam. Despite the growth in number of programs dedicated to this study, very little attention has been paid to the appropriate shape of such programs and the assumptions that ought to underlie such a study. The Teaching and Study of Islam in Western Universities attempts to address two central questions that arise through the teaching of Islam. Firstly, what relation is there between the study of the religion of Islam and the study of those cultures that have been shaped by that religion? Secondly, what is the appropriate public role of a scholar of Islam? After extensive discussion of these questions, the authors then continue to address the wider issues raised for the academic community having to negotiate between competing cultural and philosophical demands. This edited collection provides new perspectives on the study of Islam in Western Institutions and will be an invaluable resource for students of Education and Religion, in particular Islamic Studies.

Download or read book Initial Teacher Education at Scale written by Clare Brooks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debates about what constitutes quality in initial teacher education have resulted in a series of quality conundrums that have to be unravelled by teacher educators. Using the lens of scale and adopting a new approach to understanding quality, this book draws upon empirical research into five large-scale, high-quality university-based teacher education providers in Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand and the US. The resulting model of initial teacher education practice shows how ideological concepts and accountability structures around teacher education are in constant tension with operational realities. The book explores how successful large-scale providers have reconciled those tensions and conundrums to ensure their provision is consistently high quality. The accounts also present a robust defence for university-based teacher education. The practice-based accounts of how tensions around quality and scale are being reconciled reveal the competing discourses around teacher professionalism, research and the role of the university in teacher education. The analysis presented promises to change the way we view high-quality teacher education across all providers and international contexts, not just those of large scale. This book will be of great interest to teacher educators, policymakers and educational leaders.
