Transformando la práctica docente
Author: Cecilia Fierro
Publisher: Paidos Mexicana Editorial
ISBN: 9789688534144
Category : Education
Languages : es
Pages : 247
Book Description
La mayor parte de los proyectos latinoamericanos de reforma educativa exigen que el maestro sea protagonista activo de las disposiciones orientadas a mejorar la calidad de la educacion. Apoyar su formacion a lo largo del ejercicio profesional se plantea entonces como una tarea prioritaria; sin embargo, los empenos a este fin dirigidos no siempre logran incorporar plenamente a los profesores, quienes siguen siendo, en muchas ocasiones, meros ejecutores de programas cuyos propositos no comprenden o no comparten y que por tanto se reflejan pobremente en el trabajo dentro del aula. Las autoras de Transformando la practica docente han apostado por las posibilidades del cambio educativo promovido desde el maestro y han puesto a prueba su actual propuesta en varias experiencias concretas que alimentan este volumen. En el marco de trabajos grupales en talleres o cursos practicos, los docentes se van introduciendo, a traves de una serie de ejercicios aqui descritos, en un proceso de revision critica desu labor de ensenanza, al tiempo que transitan de la autovaloracion al descubrimiento de la riqueza y la complejidad que su actividad encierra, para al final del camino ver transformado de manera positiva su propio quehacer. Este libro sera sin duda una muy util herramienta para maestros en ejercicio y para formadores de docentes interesados en aplicar medidas innovadoras en la practica docente y en la gestion escolar: asi lo demuestra la entusiasta recepcion de esta propuesta entre amplios sectores magisteriales, que se han convertido en sus principales promotores.

Prácticas educativas basadas en evidencias
Author: Joaquín Gairín Sallán
Publisher: Narcea Ediciones
ISBN: 8427728042
Category : Education
Languages : es
Pages : 263
Book Description
Promover e impulsar el cambio y la mejora de la educación es una tarea permanente que no siempre va acompañada del éxito deseado. Y es que son múltiples los factores y circunstancias que influyen, y variadas las alternativas de intervención que dificultan, más que favorecen, una visión común y mantenida sobre el cambio. Se trata de conseguir actuaciones realistas, sistemáticas y progresivas, dirigidas a potenciar la calidad de la educación, a facilitar un contexto que también eduque y permita el desarrollo personal-profesional, y a favorecer el crecimiento de la organización. La Práctica Educativa Basada en Evidencias (PBE) se puede considerar, en este sentido, como un planteamiento educativo que comparte el profesorado a la hora de diseñar y desarrollar su práctica docente, aportando su experiencia y apoyándola en la reflexión y en una mayor fundamentación de su actividad. Sus planteamientos y desarrollos incluyen estrategias y procedimientos de intervención que se vinculan a la práctica reflexiva y tratan de superarla, al apoyarla con datos de investigación internos o externos, y conseguir una sostenibilidad de las actuaciones educativas más exitosas. La presente aportación recopila el conocimiento existente en nuestro contexto sobre esta propuesta de mejora basada en fundamentar las prácticas educativas en evidencias. Recoge resultados de investigaciones y aportaciones teóricas internacionales y nacionales, que apoyan las reflexiones que se hacen. También, y buscando promover e impulsar este planteamiento poco conocido y desarrollado en España, propone estrategias e instrumentos para llevarlo a cabo, así como buenas prácticas identificadas en los centros educativos que lo practican. La obra, dirigida especialmente a estudiosos e investigadores, busca así difundir el planteamiento mencionado, proporcionando los marcos teóricos y prácticos que pueden apoyar su implantación y desarrollo en los centros educativos.

Gimson's Pronunciation of English
Author: Alan Cruttenden
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1444183109
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
Since its first publication in 1962, Gimson’s Pronunciation of English has been the essential reference book for anyone studying or teaching the pronunciation of English. This eighth edition has been updated to describe General British (GB) as the principal accent, rather than RP, and the accompanying transcriptions have been brought into line with recent changes in pronunciation. This latest edition also includes completely rewritten chapters on the history of the language and the emergence of a standard, alongside a justification for the change from RP to GB. A further bonus to this important text is its extensive and attractive new Companion Website (www.routledge.com/cw/cruttenden), which now includes moment-by-moment commentaries on videos showing the articulation of all GB consonants and vowels in spoken phrases, as well as cross-referencing between the book and these videos. The Companion Website also includes new recordings of Old English, Middle English, and Early Modern English, and features links to recordings of recent and current GB with comments and transcriptions. Comprehensive yet accessible, Gimson’s Pronunciation of English remains the indispensable reference book for anyone for anyone with an interest in English phonetics.

Disciplined Mind
Author: Howard Gardner
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982176954
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This brilliant and revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences reexamines the goals of education to support a more educated society for future generations. Howard Gardner’s concept of multiple intelligences has been hailed as perhaps the most profound insight into education since the work of Jerome Bruner, Jean Piaget, and even John Dewey. Here, in The Disciplined Mind, Garner pulls together the threads of his previous works and looks beyond such issues as charters, vouchers, unions, and affirmative action in order to explore the larger questions of what constitutes an educated person and how this can be achieved for all students. Gardner eloquently argues that the purpose of K–12 education should be to enhance students’ deep understanding of the truth (and falsity), beauty (and ugliness), and goodness (and evil) as defined by their various cultures. By exploring the theory of evolution, the music of Mozart, and the lessons of the Holocaust as a set of examples that illuminates the nature of truth, beauty, and morality, The Disciplined Mind envisions how younger generations will rise to the challenges of the future—while preserving the traditional goals of a “humane” education. Gardner’s ultimate goal is the creation of an educated generation that understands the physical, biological, and societal world in their own personal context as well as in a broader world view. But even as Gardner persuasively argues the merits of his approach, he recognizes the difficulty of developing one universal, ideal form of education. In an effort to reconcile conflicting educational viewpoints, he proposes the creation of six different educational pathways that, when taken together, can satisfy people’s concern for student learning and their widely divergent views about knowledge and understanding overall.

World Anthropologies
Author: Gustavo Lins Ribeiro
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000184498
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
