Book Description
Despite international congresses and international journals, anthropologies of education differ significantly around the world. Linguistic barriers constrain the flow of ideas, which results in a vast amount of research on educational anthropology that is not published in English or is difficult for international readers to find. This volume responds to the call to attend to educational research outside the United States and to break out of “metropolitan provincialism.” A guide to the anthropologies and ethnographies of learning and schooling published in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Slavic languages, Japanese, and English as a second language, show how scholars in Latin America, Japan, and elsewhere adapt European, American, and other approaches to create new traditions. As the contributors show, educators draw on different foundational research and different theoretical discussions. Thus, this global survey raises new questions and casts a new light on what has become a too-familiar discipline in the United States.

Book Description
This book invites us to reflect on the restoration of terrestrial ecosystems in the context of a region whose identity is still under construction, Latin America and the Caribbean, immersed in a social, economic, ecological and political crisis, whose roots originate historically and politically in colonialism and in the prevailing model of capital accumulation. For the first time, insights and practical experiences on restoration are gathered from most Latin-American and Caribbean countries. Furthermore, this book offers a social approach to restoration, which will likely become preponderant in this field and in this region. The authors claim that a Latin-American knowledge of restoration is under construction and that this discipline can be a significant tool to empower local populations, which might, in turn, lead to a collective action of change. Case studies from 11 countries of the region were compiled, involving multiple voices that emerge beyond generalist principles and with a bottom-up approach. The main idea of the book is to open a debate about the identity of ecological and social restoration in this region. This book is targeted to restoration specialists, volunteers, environmental managers, researchers, politicians and NGOs working on the complexity of socioecological restoration in a region with unavoidable social problems. It is intended for people with similar concerns to those of the chapters' authors. This work tries to integrate a movement on the rise, almost silent, born with its own narratives of successes and failures that do not hinder its development. Finally, the determination and commitment of Latin-American and Caribbean social actors to restore not only natural values but also social, ethical and cultural ones is remarkable.

Book Description
This international handbook gives a comprehensive overview of findings from longstanding and contemporary research, theory, and practices in early childhood education in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The first volume of the handbook addresses theory, methodology, and the research activities and research needs of particular regions. The second volume examines in detail innovations and longstanding programs, curriculum and assessment, and conceptions and research into child, family and communities. The two volumes of this handbook address the current theory, methodologies and research needs of specific countries and provide insight into existing global similarities in early childhood practices. By paying special attention to what is happening in the larger world contexts, the volumes provide a representative overview of early childhood education practices and research, and redress the current North-South imbalance of published work on the subject.

Book Description
Hoy en día, los ecosistemas formativos vinculados a la actual sociedad del conocimiento y de la información deben adaptarse a todas las personas que integran la comunidad educativa con funcionalidades diversas y con capacidades diferentes para evitar la marginalidad y la exclusión social. Derivado de esta intención social y pedagógica se desarrolla esta obra socio-científica titulada: “La educación e igualdad de oportunidades”.La publicación se encuentra constituida por once capítulos, siendo los siete primeros y el undécimo vinculados con el ámbito formativo de la innovación en temática de la inclusividad y educación para todos y todas. En ellos se describen de forma comprensible y didáctica las reflexiones y experiencias realizadas por profesionales de la educación de diferentes universidades para el desarrollo sostenible educativo de la ciudadanía inclusiva global. En última instancia, resaltar que el octavo capítulo se explicita un innovador proyecto igualitario de cooperación y tutorías académicas denominado Friends, entre estudiantes para mejorar aprendizaje de la gramática inglesa. Y los dos siguientes capítulos versan sobre la formación en el contexto competencial. En este sentido, cabe mencionar que, si durante el siglo pasado la competencia prioritaria que se desarrollaba en los educandos era la memorística, en los últimos años y más aún en estos tiempos de crisis sociosanitaria la educación se orienta preferentemente a su vertiente digital. Por ende, el gran reto de las instituciones formativas en tiempos de post-pandemia es lograr que los aprendices se formen en el contexto competencial para enfrentarse con seguridad y creatividad al cambio constante.
