English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032075015 | 505 Pages | PDF (True) | 10 MB
A culturalist programme in communication studies (CS), cultural discourse studies (CDS), as represented in this handbook, is a new current of thought in human and social science and a form of academic activism, but above all, it is a fresh paradigm of research committed to enhancing cultural harmony and prosperity on the one hand and facilitating intellectual plurality and innovation on the other hand. This handbook is the first of its kind; it is concerned with the identities of, and interactions between, the world’s diverse cultural communities through locally-grounded and globally-minded, culturally conscious and critical approaches to their communicative practice. Contributors apply such insights, precepts and techniques, not merely to discover and describe past and present communication, but also to design and guide future communication.

The Roots of Educational Change International Handbook of Educational Change


Free Download Ann Lieberman, "The Roots of Educational Change: International Handbook of Educational Change"
English | 2005 | pages: 285 | ISBN: 1402032897 | PDF | 6,2 mb
The purpose of this first volume of the International Handbook of Educational Change is to delineate the roots of a movement toward educational change that grew up in – and grew out of – the turbulent political, social, economic and cultural life of the post-World War II years. Its authors, who helped to create and shape the field, examine their work from current perspectives, raising issues that illustrate the connections between the recent history of education in general, and the field of educational change in particular. The book deals with a range of issues, from the effects of the GI Bill to the effects of school environment on student learning, from the political realities of educational policy to social realities of teachers. Like subsequent volumes, this book brings together evidence and insights on educational change issues from leading writers and researchers in the field from across the world.
