Thinking about the Teaching of Thinking The Feuerstein Approach

Thinking about the Teaching of Thinking The Feuerstein Approach

Thinking about the Teaching of Thinking provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to Feuerstein’s theory of Mediated Learning Experience and its related tools and programmes. It details up-to-date international and New Zealand research on the Feuerstein approach which reflects the current issues in the teaching of thinking. The book begins by defining what is meant by the teaching of thinking and provides an easy to understand explanation of the Feuerstein method and its value for children with learning challenges. It champions a ‘whole school’ approach to the teaching of thinking and details the practical tools and programmes developed by Feuerstein – such as Instrumental Enrichment and the Learning Propensity Assessment Device – to aid in its implementation. It also recognises the key importance of cultural factors in the teaching of thinking bringing together the author’s considerable research experience using the Feuerstein method in the multicultural New Zealand context with her extensive knowledge of international Feuerstein research. This book provides a user-friendly and unique coverage of the Feuerstein method for researchers and postgraduate students researching and working in educational psychology. It will also be of great value for teachers and parents looking to understand and decide on implementation of the Feuerstein approach in their schools. | Thinking about the Teaching of Thinking The Feuerstein Approach

Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child Time for Slow Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education

Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child Time for Slow Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education

This book explores the relationship with time in early childhood by arguing for the valuing of slow pedagogies and slow knowledge. Alison Clark points to alternative practices in Early Childhood Education and Care that enable a different pace and rhythm against the backdrop of the acceleration in early childhood and the proliferation of testing and measurement. Diverse approaches are explored to enable an ‘unhurried child’ and less hurried adults. Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child is divided in three parts. Part 1 Reasons to be slow looks at the pressures in Early Childhood Education and Care to speed up and for children to be ‘readied’ for the next stage. The book then explores different relationships with time for young children and educators. Part 2 Slow pedagogies and practices explore some of the forms slow practices can take including outdoors in the studio in everyday routines through stories in pedagogical documentation and in ‘slow’ research. Part 3 Moving forward shows what a ‘timefull’ approach to ECEC can look like whilst debating the challenges and possibilities that exist. The book serves as a catalyst for urgent discussion about the need to slow down in early childhood education and teacher education and explores case studies of where slow early childhood education are already happening. It will be a key reading for researchers practitioners and policy-makers about the relationship with time in early childhood and the importance of taking a longer view. | Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child Time for Slow Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education

Thinking About Victimization Context and Consequences

Thinking About Victimization Context and Consequences

Bringing together cutting-edge theory and research that bridges academic disciplines from criminology and criminal justice to developmental psychology sociology and political science Thinking About Victimization offers an authoritative and refreshingly accessible overview of scholarship on the nature sources and consequences of victimization. This book integrates empirical research and victimization theory and is written in a lively style with sharp storytelling and an appreciation of international research on victimization. Rooted in a healthy respect for criminological history and the important foundational works in victimization studies it provides a detailed account of how different data sources can influence our understanding of victimization; of how the sources of victimization - individual situational and contextual - are complicated and varied; and of how the consequences of victimization - personal social and political - are just as complex. Thinking About Victimization also engages with contemporary issues such as sexual victimization and intimate partner violence victimization in schools cybervictimization and prison victimization as well as terrorism and state-sponsored violence. The second edition reflects new research developments in victimology including updated discussions on the COVID-19 pandemic police brutality increases in crime and school shootings. Thinking About Victimization is essential reading for advanced courses in victimization offered in criminology criminal justice sociology health and social work departments.

Hydrofeminist Thinking With Oceans Political and Scholarly Possibilities

Hydrofeminist Thinking With Oceans Political and Scholarly Possibilities

Hydrofeminist Thinking with Oceans brings together authors who are thinking in with and through the spaces of ocean/s and beaches in South African contexts to make alternative knowledges towards a justice-to-come and flourishing at a planetary level. Primary scholarly locations for this work include feminist new materialist and post-humanist thinking and specifically locates itself within hydrofeminist thinking. Together with a foreword by Astrida Neimanis the chapters in this book explore both land and water with oceans as powerfully political spaces globally and locally entangled in the violences of settler colonialism land dispossession slavery transnational labour exploitation extractivism and omnicides. South Africa is a productive space to engage in such scholarship. While there is a growing body of literature that works within and across disciplines on the sea and bodies of water to think critically about the damages of centuries of colonisation and continued extractivist capitalism there remains little work that explores this burgeoning thinking in global Southern and more particularly South African contexts. South African histories of colonisation slavery and more recently apartheid which are saturated in the oceans are only recently being explored through oceanic logics. This volume offers valuable Southern contributions and rich situated narratives to such hydrofeminist thinking. It also brings diverse and more marginal knowledges to bear on the project of generating imaginative alternatives to hegemonic colonial and patriarchal logics in the academy and elsewhere. While primarily located in a South African context the volume speaks well to globalised concerns for justice and environmental challenges both in human societies and in relation to other species and planetary crises. The chapters which will be of interest to scholars activists and other civil society stakeholders share inspiring rich examples of diverse scholarship activism and art in these contexts extending international scholarship that thinks in/on/with ocean/s littoral zones and bodies of water. The book offers ethico-political perspectives on the role of research in ocean governance policy development and collective decision-making for ecological justice. This book is suitable for students and scholars of post-qualitative feminist new materialist embodied arts-based and hydrofeminist methods in education environmental humanities and the social sciences. | Hydrofeminist Thinking With Oceans Political and Scholarly Possibilities

Literature Social Wisdom and Global Justice Developing Systems Thinking through Literary Study

Literature Social Wisdom and Global Justice Developing Systems Thinking through Literary Study

This book responds to the pressing and increasingly recognized need to cultivate social wisdom for addressing major problems confronting humanity. Connecting literary studies with some of the biggest questions confronted by researchers and students today the book provides a practical approach to thinking through and potentially solving global problems such as poverty inequality crime war racism classism environmental decline and climate change. Bracher argues that solving such problems requires “systems thinking” and that literary study is an excellent way to develop the four key cognitive functions of which systems thinking is composed which are causal analysis prospection/strategic planning social cognition and metacognition. Drawing on evidence-based learning theory as well as the latest research on systems thinking and its four cognitive functions the book provides a comprehensive and detailed explanation of how these advanced thinking skills can be developed through literary study illustrating the process with numerous examples from major works of literature. In explaining the nature and importance of these thinking skills and the ability of literary study to develop them this book will be of value to literature teachers and students from introductory to advanced levels and to anyone looking to develop better problem-solving and decision-making skills. | Literature Social Wisdom and Global Justice Developing Systems Thinking through Literary Study

Computational Thinking in Education A Pedagogical Perspective

Design Thinking in Student Affairs A Primer

Design Thinking in Student Affairs A Primer

Design thinking is an innovative problem-solving framework. This introduction is the first book to apply its methodology to student affairs and in doing so points the way to its potentially wider value to higher education as a whole. With its focus on empathy which is the need to thoroughly understand users’ experiences design thinking is user-centered similar to how student affairs is student-centered. Because the focus of design thinking is to design with users not for users it aligns well with student affairs practice. In addition its focus on empathy makes design thinking a more equitable approach to problem-solving than other methods because all users’ experiences—not just the experiences of majority or “average” student—need to be understood. Centering empathy in problem-solving processes can be a tool to disrupt higher education systems and practices. Design thinking is a framework to foster innovation and by its nature innovation is about responding to change factors with creativity. In an organization design thinking is inherently connected to organizational change and culture because the process is really about changing people to help them rally around a disruptive idea. Implementing design thinking on a campus may in itself be disruptive and require a change management process. The beauty of using design thinking is that it can also act as a framework to support organizational culture change. Design thinking approaches with their focus on stakeholder needs (as opposed to systemic norms) collaborative solutions building and structured empathy activities can offer a concrete tool to disrupt harmful systems of power and oppression. Design thinking as a process is not a magic solution to equity problems though it can be a powerful tool to approach the development of solutions that can address inequity. Design thinking is data-driven and considers both qualitative and quantitative data as necessary to gain most complete picture of an issue and its possible solutions whether a product program or service. Design thinking has numerous benefits to afford students affairs. Chapter 1 outlines a case for design thinking in student affairs. Chapter 2 discusses a brief history of design thinking noting its germination and evolution to current practice. Chapter 3 provides a detailed description of each step of the design thinking model with pertinent examples to make the steps clearer. Chapter 4 explains the intersection of equity and design thinking while chapter 5 explores the use of design thinking for organizational change. Chapter 6 presents a new model for design thinking assessment. Chapter 7 addresses the challenges and limitations of the process. Chapter 8 concludes the book by discussing the alignment of design thinking and student affairs and outlining next steps. Design thinking is an innovative process that can change the way higher education and student affairs operates realizing the potential it offers. | Design Thinking in Student Affairs A Primer
