The Predatory Paradox - Ethics, Politics, And Practices In Contemporary Scholarly Publishing

de Amy Koerber, F. Kee Kerk, Jesse C. Starkey, Karin Ardon-Dryer, Lyombe Eko e R. Glenn Cummins

6,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In today’s ‘publish or perish’ academic setting, the institutional prizing of quantity over quality has given rise to and perpetuated the dilemma of predatory publishing. Upon a close examination, however, the definition of ‘predatory’ itself becomes slippery, evading neat boxes or lists which might seek to easily define and guard against it. This volume serves to foreground a nuanced representation of this multifaceted issue. In such a rapidly evolving landscape, this book becomes a field guide to its historical, political, and economic aspects, presenting thoughtful interviews, legal analysis and original research. Case studies from both European-American and non-European-American stakeholders emphasize the worldwide nature of the challenge faced by researchers of all levels. This coauthored book is structured into both textual and supplemental materials. Key takeaways, discussion questions, and complete classroom activities accompanying each chapter provide opportunities for engagement and real-world applications of these concepts. Crucially relevant to early career researchers and the senior faculty, library scholars, and administrators who mentor and support them, &#39;The Predatory Paradox: Ethics, Politics, and Practices in Contemporary Scholarly Publishing&#39; offers practical recommendations for navigating the complex and often contradictory advice currently available. University instructors and teaching faculty will also find the reading essential in order to properly prepare both graduate and undergraduate students for the potential pitfalls endemic to scholarly publishing.

Higher Education For Good - Teaching And Learning Futures

de Laura Czerniewicz

6,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 After decades of turbulence and acute crises in recent years, how can we build a better future for Higher Education? Thoughtfully edited by Laura Czerniewicz and Catherine Cronin, this rich and diverse collection by academics and professionals from across 17 countries and many disciplines offers a variety of answers to this question. It addresses the need to set new values for universities, trapped today in narratives dominated by financial incentives and performance indicators, and examines those “wicked” problems which need multiple solutions, resolutions, experiments, and imaginaries. This mix of new and well-established voices provides hopeful new ways of thinking about Higher Education across a range of contexts, and how to concretise initiatives to deal with local and global challenges. In an unusual and refreshing way, the contributors provide insights about resilience tactics and collective actions across different levels of higher education using an array of styles and formats including essays, poetry, and speculative fiction. With its interdisciplinary appeal, this book presents itself as a provocative and inspiring resource for universities, students, and scholars. Higher Education for Good courageously offers critique, hope, and purpose for the practice and the trajectory of Higher Education.

A Relational Realist Vision For Education Policy And Practice

de Basem Adi

6,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This volume argues that relational realism can help us to make better educational policy that is more effective in practice. Basem Adi draws on critical realism to thoroughly re-examine fundamental assumptions about how government policymaking works, developing an ontological basis from which to examine existing government approaches and imagine an alternative approach based on a relational realist-informed critical pedagogy. Adi casts familiar issues in a new light by drawing on a less familiar theoretical and meta-theoretical tradition, offering a critique that can be productively engaged with by many educational organizations to tackle the issues they face. A Relational Realist Vision for Education Policy and Practice will be of great interest to academics of sociology, critical realism, sociological theory and education, as well as policymakers and educators seeking a theoretical perspective on their work.

Dire Straits-Education Reforms - Ideology, Vested Interests And Evidence

de Jose Ignacio Wert e Montserrat Gomendio

6,99€

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Responding to an ‘educational emergency’ generated largely by the difficulties of implementing education reforms, this book compares education policies around the world in order to understand what works where. To address the key question of why education reforms are so difficult, the authors take into account a broad range of relevant factors, such as governance, ideology, and stakeholder conflicts of interest, and their interactions with one another. Drawing on their experiences as policymakers in the Spanish government and as governmental advisors worldwide, Montserrat Gomendio and Jose Ignacio Wert produce a publication like no other, shifting the usual Eurocentric narrative and shedding light on frequently overlooked educational policies from elsewhere. In this context, they dive deeper into details of educational failures and successes, the processes of implementation and investment priorities in different countries. They provide revealing accounts of stakeholder conflicts of interest and the challenges of implementing educational reform during a financial crisis. The authors also investigate why the evidence from international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) has, contrary to expectation, not generated improvements in most education systems. Gomendio and Wert investigate the evolution of different education systems, closely examining their advances or declines. Gomendio and Wert’s expert voices illuminate the current state of global education systems and the necessary changes to ensure long-awaited improvements. This is a revelatory and informative resource for policymakers, teachers and academics alike.

Learning, Marginalization, And Improving The Quality Of Education In Low-Income Countries

de Daniel A. Wagner

6,99€

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Improving learning evidence and outcomes for those most in need in developing countries is at the heart of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal on Education (SDG4). This timely volume brings together contributions on current empirical research and analysis of emerging trends that focus on improving the quality of education through better policy and practice, particularly for those who need improved &#39;learning at the bottom of the pyramid&#39; (LBOP). This volume brings together academic research experts, government officials and field-based practitioners. National and global experts present multiple broad thematic papers – ranging from the effects of migration and improving teaching to the potential of educational technologies, and better metrics for understanding and financing education. In addition, local experts, practitioners and policymakers describe their own work on LBOP issues being undertaken in Kenya, India, Mexico and Ivory Coast. The contributors argue persuasively that learning equity is a moral imperative, but also one that will have educational, economic and social impacts. They further outline how achieving SDG4 will take renewed and persistent effort by stakeholders to use better measurement tools to promote learning achievement among poor and marginalized children. This volume builds on the second international conference on Learning at the Bottom of the Pyramid (LBOP2).* It will be an indispensable resource for policymakers, researchers and government thinktanks, and local experts, as well as any readers interested in the implementation of learning equity across the globe. *The first volume Learning at the Bottom of the Pyramid (LBOP1), may be obtained at: http://www.iiep.unesco.org/en/learning-bottom-pyramid-4608

As noted by the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia, 'This book inspires us all—educators, students, and future leaders—to continue daring to dream and to work hard toward one shared goal: making education a source of progress, self-reliance, and national dignity.'This book serves as a mirror of a university's ongoing journey to push boundaries and open new horizons for a model of higher education that is increasingly relevant to the demands of both the present and the future.This is the story of President University, born from the bold vision of Dr. (HC) Setyono Djuandi Darmono and its fellow founders.Contents: <ul><li>Foreword: Education as a Force for Change</li><li>Foreword: Forming Architects of the Future</li><li>Author's Note</li><li>Prologue: A Unique University</li><li>Falling Behind, but Not Destined to</li><li>Time to Move Beyond the Status Quo</li><li>Think Big, Start Small, Move Fast</li><li>Forged in an International Environment</li><li>University as a Fortress of Character</li><li>Discipline: A Key to Success</li><li>Good to Great</li><li>Graduate Fast, Make an Impact</li><li>Forged into Gold</li><li>Trusted and Emulated</li><li>Brick by Brick: The Making of President University</li><li>Doctor Ratio: 1 per 1,000</li><li>Teacher Education</li><li>Where Tomorrow's Leaders Come Together</li><li>The ABG Synergy</li><li>Foundation for the Public Good</li><li>Alumni and Regeneration</li><li>Innovation and University City</li><li>Epilogue: Excellent Accreditation Status</li><li>About the Author</li></ul>Readership: Educators, academic leaders, ...
