The Reflective Practitioner How Professionals Think in Action

The Reflective Practitioner How Professionals Think in Action

A leading M. I. T. social scientist and consultant examines five professions - engineering architecture management psychotherapy and town planning - to show how professionals really go about solving problems. The best professionals Donald Schön maintains know more than they can put into words. To meet the challenges of their work they rely less on formulas learned in graduate school than on the kind of improvisation learned in practice. This unarticulated largely unexamined process is the subject of Schön's provocatively original book an effort to show precisely how 'reflection-in-action' works and how this vital creativity might be fostered in future professionals. | The Reflective Practitioner How Professionals Think in Action

The Routledge Handbook on Radicalisation and Countering Radicalisation

The Routledge Handbook on Radicalisation and Countering Radicalisation

This handbook provides a theoretical and methodological exploration of the research on radicalisation and counter-radicalisation one of the most influential concepts in Security Studies International Relations and Peace and Conflict Studies. Sitting at the heart of high-profile research and policy agendas on preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) radicalisation as a concept has transformed the way researchers policymakers and societies think about how to counter terrorism and political violence. Deliberations about radicalisation and countering radicalisation have become further embedded as efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism have been ‘mainstreamed’ into other areas of public policy and practice such as education gender relations health peacebuilding aid and development. Theoretically and methodologically pluralistic this handbook addresses radicalisation and countering radicalisation as they relate to a wide range of groups and milieus articulating diverse ideological positions drawing together insight and experience from multiple geographic and institutional settings integrating global perspectives and including scholarship focused on a range of policy fields. This book will be an essential reference point for anybody working on radicalisation countering radicalisation or terrorism and political violence more broadly. The insight that it provides will be relevant for both academics and members of relevant policy and practitioner communities. | The Routledge Handbook on Radicalisation and Countering Radicalisation

Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers

Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers

Written by high performance computing (HPC) experts Introduction to High Performance Computing for Scientists and Engineers provides a solid introduction to current mainstream computer architecture dominant parallel programming models and useful optimization strategies for scientific HPC. From working in a scientific computing center the authors gained a unique perspective on the requirements and attitudes of users as well as manufacturers of parallel computers. The text first introduces the architecture of modern cache-based microprocessors and discusses their inherent performance limitations before describing general optimization strategies for serial code on cache-based architectures. It next covers shared- and distributed-memory parallel computer architectures and the most relevant network topologies. After discussing parallel computing on a theoretical level the authors show how to avoid or ameliorate typical performance problems connected with OpenMP. They then present cache-coherent non-uniform memory access (ccNUMA) optimization techniques examine distributed-memory parallel programming with message passing interface (MPI) and explain how to write efficient MPI code. The final chapter focuses on hybrid programming with MPI and OpenMP. Users of high performance computers often have no idea what factors limit time to solution and whether it makes sense to think about optimization at all. This book facilitates an intuitive understanding of performance limitations without relying on heavy computer science knowledge. It also prepares readers for studying more advanced literature. Read about the authors' recent honor: Informatics Europe Curriculum Best Practices Award for Parallelism and Concurrency.

Problem Solving for Engineers

Problem Solving for Engineers

Whatever their discipline engineers are routinely called upon to develop solutions to all kinds of problems. To do so effectively they need a systematic and disciplined approach that considers a range of alternatives taking into account all relevant factors before selecting the best solution. In Problem Solving for Engineers David Carmichael demonstrates just such an approach involving problem definition generation of alternative solutions and ultimately the analysis and selection of a preferred solution. David Carmichael introduces the fundamental concepts needed to think systematically and undertake methodical problem solving. He argues that the most rational way to develop a framework for problem solving is by using a systems studies viewpoint. He then outlines systems methodology modeling and the various configurations for analysis synthesis and investigation. Building on this the book details a systematic process for problem solving and demonstrates how problem solving and decision making lie within a systems synthesis configuration. Carefully designed as a self-learning resource the book contains exercises throughout that reinforce the material and encourage readers to think and apply the concepts. It covers decision making in the presence of uncertainty and multiple criteria including that involving sustainability with its blend of economic social and environmental considerations. It also characterizes and tackles the specific problem solving of management planning and design. The book provides for the first time a rational framework for problem solving with an engineering orientation.

Basic Interviewing A Practical Guide for Counselors and Clinicians

Basic Interviewing A Practical Guide for Counselors and Clinicians

This book offers clear and direct answers to the questions most frequently asked by students and trainees learning how to talk to clients and extract critical data from them. Its development reflects the old adage that necessity is the mother of invention. For many years the editors taught beginning level mental health clinicians. They found however no text to be satisfactory-including a number that they themselves were involved in producing. Some were too difficult; some were too simplistic; some were too doctrinaire; still others had missing elements. Written in a reader-friendly how-to style the chapters in Basic Interviewing are not weighed down by references. Rather each contributor suggests readings for students and instructors who wish to pursue questions further. After the initial overview chapter there are 12 chapters addressing the nuts-and-bolts concerns of all clinicians that can be particularly vexing for neophytes. They cover a variety of issues from the most specific-like how to begin and end interviews-to the more general-like how to build rapport and identify targets for treatment. Throughout rich clinical illustrations facilitate the pragmatic application of fundamental principles. Beginning graduate students in counseling and clinical psychology social work and other allied mental health fields as well as psychiatric trainees will find this text to be an indispensable companion. | Basic Interviewing A Practical Guide for Counselors and Clinicians

Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

This three-volume set brings together a rich collection of primary source materials on flirtation and courtship in the nineteenth-century. Introductory essays and extensive editorial apparatus offer historical and cultural contexts of the materials included Throughout the long nineteenth-century a woman’s life was commonly thought to fall into three discrete developmental stages; personal formation and a gendered education; a young woman’s entrance onto the marriage market; and finally her emergence at the apogee of normative femininity as wife and mother. In all three stages of development there was an unspoken awareness of the duplicity at the heart of this carefully cultivated femininity. What women were taught no matter their age was that if you desired anything in life it behooved you to perform indifference. This meant that for women the art of flirtation and feigning indifference were viewed as essential survival skills that could guarantee success in life. These three volumes document the many ways in which nineteenth-century women were educated in this seemingly universal wisdom but just as frequently managed to manipulate subvert and navigate their way through such proscribed norms to achieve their own desires. Presenting a wide range of documents from novels memoirs literary journals newspapers plays poetry songs parlour games and legal documents this collection will illuminate a far more diverse set of options available to women in their quest for happiness and a new understanding of the operations of courtship and flirtation the central concerns of a nineteenth-century woman’s life. The volumes will be of interest to scholars of history literature gender and cultural studies with an interest in the nineteenth-century. | Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education

The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education

Co-published with Colleges and universities are increasingly becoming significant sites for adult education scholarship—in large part due to demographic shifts. With fewer U. S. high school graduates on the horizon higher education institutions will need to attract “non-traditional” (i. e. older) adult learners to remain viable both financially and politically. There is a need to develop a better corpus of scholarship on topics as diverse as what learning theories are useful for understanding adult learning? How are higher education institutions changing in response to the surge of adult students? What academic programs are providing better learning and employment outcomes for adults in college? Adult education scholars can offer much to the policy debates taking place in higher education. A main premise of this handbook is that adult and continuing education should not simply respond to rapidly changing social economic technological and political environments across the globe but should lead the way in preparing adults to become informed globally-connected critical citizens who are knowledgeable skilled and open and adaptive to change and uncertainty. The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education provides rich information on the contemporary issues and trends that are of concern to adult and continuing education of the programs and resources available to adult learners and of opportunities to challenge and critique the structures embedded in the field that perpetuate inequity and social injustice. Adult education is a discipline that foresees a better tomorrow and The Handbook is designed to engage and inspire readers to assist the field to seek new paths in uncertain and complex times ask questions and to help the field flourish. The Handbook is divided into five sections. The first Foundations situates the field by describing the developments core debates perspectives and key principles that form the basis of the field. The second Understanding Adult Learning includes chapters on adult learning adult development motivation access participation and support of adult learners and mentoring. Teaching Practices and Administrative Leadership the third section offers chapters on organization and administration program planning assessment and evaluation teaching perspectives andragogy and pedagogy public pedagogy and digital technologies for teaching and learning. The fourth section is Formal and Informal Learning Contexts. Chapters cover adult basic GED and literacy education English-as-a-Second Language Programs family literacy prison education workforce development military education international development education health professions education continuing professional education higher education human resource development and workplace learning union and labor education religious and spiritual education cultural institutions environmental education social and political movements and peace and conflict education. The concluding Contemporary Issues section discusses decolonizing adult and continuing education adult education and welfare teaching social activism lesbian gay bisexual trans queer and straight allies gender and its multiple forms disability older adults and intergenerational identities race and ethnicity working class whiteness and privilege and migrants and migrant education. The editors culminate with consideration of next steps for adult and continuing education and priorities for the future.
