Описание:
This book collects multiple disciplinary voices which explore current research and perspectives to discuss how spirituality is understood, interpreted and applied in a range of contexts. It addresses spirituality in combination with such topics as Christian mysticism, childhood and adolescent education, midwifery, and sustainability. It links spirituality to a variety of disciplines, including cognitive neuroscience, sociology, and psychology. Finally, it discusses the application of spirituality within the context of social work, teaching, health care, and occupational therapy. A final chapter provides an analytical discussion of the different voices that appear in the book and offers a holistic description of spirituality which has the potential to bring some unity to the meaning, expression and practice of spirituality across a variety of disciplines as well as across cultural, religious and secular worldviews.
'A strength of the book is that each chapter is characterized by a fearless confronting of oppositional perspectives and use of the latest research in addressing them. The book takes the difficult topic of spirituality into almost every nook and cranny of personal and professional life. There is a persistent grasping of the contentiousness of the topic, together with addressing counter positions and utilizing updated research across a range of fields in doing this. The opening and closing chapters serve as book ends that keep the whole volume together.'
Terence Lovat, The University of Newcastle, Australia
'The interdisciplinary nature of the work is by far the strongest aspect of this volume. It has the potential to contribute to a dialogue between different professions and disciplines. This prospective publication promises to promote a more holistic approach to the study of spirituality. This volume takes into consideration a wide variety of issues. The way the editors have structured the sequence of chapters contributes to facilitate any possible dialogue between the different areas.'
Описание: This book provides an overview of science educationpolicies, research and practices in mainland China, with specific examples ofthe most recent developments in these areas. It presents an insiders’ report onthe status of Chinese science education written primarily by native speakerswith first-hand experiences inside the country. In addition, the book featuresmultiple sectional commentaries by experts in the field that further connectthese stories to the existing science education literature outside of China.This book informs the international community about the current status ofChinese science education reforms. It helps readers understand one of thelargest science education systems in the world, which includes, according tothe Programme for International Student Assessment, the best-performing economyin the world in science, math and reading: Shanghai, China. Readers gain insight into how science education in the rest of China comparesto that in Shanghai; the ways Chinese science educators, teachers and studentsachieve what has been accomplished; what Chinese students and teachers actuallydo inside their classrooms; what educational policies have been helpful inpromoting student learning; what lessons can be shared within the internationalscience education community; and much more.This book appeals to science education researchers, comparative educationresearchers, science educators, graduate students, state science educationleaders and officers in the international communities. It also helps Chinesestudents and faculty of science education discover effective ways to sharetheir science education stories with the rest of the world.

Описание: Assessment for Learning is a powerful way to raise standards in school. This book shows how to overcome many of the difficulties that mathematics teachers have discovered as they try to introduce assessment for learning into their classrooms. Many pupils find it hard to express their ideas in mathematics because of problems with the language that is used to express mathematical concepts. The book shows how to help pupils express what they really know and understand so that Assessment for Learning can be used effectively. The book discusses what mathematical language is, and what it is not so that teachers can help their pupils use language to successfully express their mathematical ideas. It suggests practical approaches to introducing more discourse into the classroom and shows the improvements in learning that can be expected as a result. "The ideas of Assessment for Learning", rich questioning and dialogue, effective feedback and peer & self-assessment, are explored and suggestions are made for effective use of each idea in the mathematics classroom. The book shows how using Assessment for Learning depends on the pupils being able and willing to use mathematical language to express their ideas. When the difficulties of using mathematical language are acknowledged and the pupils are overtly helped to engage with and overcome those difficulties then learning increases. A mathematics classroom that uses discussion, negotiation and explanation as a matter of course, is a classroom where the work quickly becomes more challenging and the pupils see themselves as successful learners. A pupil who can express their mathematical ideas is one who knows just how much they understand and what they need to tackle next. A teacher, who is part of such discourse, is able to use formative assessment to tailor the learning to allow the pupils to reach the highest standards. Many of the ideas advocated in the book are the result of applying theory to practice using cycles of Action Research. The book will include an explanation of this approach and how it can be used to develop good practice. The approaches advocated are rooted in theories of learning and language use. I therefore include a section in the book for those who may wish to take their study to a greater depth or to be convinced of the research backound to these ideas.
