Book Description
This report, Top-100 Educational Innovations, presents the results of the Education Challenge project. This is an extensive research project conducted by Fundación Telefónica throughout the year to identify innovative educational initiatives, meaning those which are different but have been proven in the field of science education taken as a whole. It presents the initiatives that are considered to have the greatest development potential, and provides brief, meaningful and systematic information for each of them. We are confident that these results will be a tool that will allow us to disseminate knowledge that we consider to be of great value for the entire educational community and society in general.

Innovations in Higher Education
Author: Allan M. Hoffman
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 1442204486
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Rising costs and increasing global competition press institutions to do more with less. At the same time, deep budget cuts and a general social and political impatience have revived calls for reform in educational affordability, curriculum, and outcome measurement. Yet within this environment, a myriad of success stories are being forged among educational institutions, supporting industries, and educational consortia that are embracing innovative approaches to all aspects of the higher education system. This book spotlights those fresh approaches and aims to bring higher education professionals together, as part of a broad, national movement to motivate reflection and encourage similar dynamic efforts. The editors and expert contributors focus in particular on areas such as measures of academic quality, benchmarking, faculty development, retention, curriculum development, technology, and facilities. In each case, this book illustrates successful pilot programs and documents tools that have proven to maximize efficiencies crucial to the continued success of the entire higher learning community.

Innovation and Technology Enhancing Mathematics Education
Author: Eleonora Faggiano
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319614886
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
This book addresses key issues of Technology and Innovation(s) in Mathematics Education, drawing on heterogeneous ways of positioning about innovation in mathematical practice with technology. The book offers ideas and meanings of innovation as they emerge from the entanglement of the various researchers with the mathematical practice, the teacher training program, the student learning and engagement, or the research method that they are telling stories about. The multiple theoretical or empirical perspectives capture a rich landscape, in which the presence of digital technology entails the emergence of new practices, techniques, environments and devices, or new ways of making sense of technology in research, teaching and learning.

Reinventing Higher Education
Author: Ben Wildavsky
Publisher: Harvard Education Press
ISBN: 1612504272
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
The inspiration for this timely book is the pressing need for fresh ideas and innovations in U.S. higher education. At the heart of the volume is the realization that higher education must evolve in fundamental ways if it is to respond to changing professional, economic, and technological circumstances, and if it is to successfully reach and prepare a vast population of students—traditional and nontraditional alike—for success in the coming decades. This collection of provocative articles by leading scholars, writers, innovators, and university administrators examines the current higher education environment and its chronic resistance to change; the rise of for-profit universities; the potential future role of community colleges in a significantly revised higher education realm; and the emergence of online learning as a means to reshape teaching and learning and to reach new consumers of higher education. Combining trenchant critiques of current conditions with thought-provoking analyses of possible reforms and new directions, Reinventing Higher Education is an ambitious exploration of possible future directions for revitalized American colleges and universities.
