Описание: The controversy over homework has raged for over 100 years and is being reignited by new research by educators not only about homework's purpose and design, but also about the definition of the word itself. Through years of research, the authors propose that a sociocultural conception of homework provides a superior explanation for the value of homework for student learning. Reforming Homework discusses the sociocultural conception of homework and the research conducted into schools which are engaging in these reform practices. The book argues that there are two main problems with homework as it is currently planned and organised. First, much homework is repetitive (practice) and does not contribute to new learning. Secondly, much homework is too complex and difficult for students to complete by themselves. Such complex tasks come at a considerable cost to family life, parental time and equity. The book promotes the view that there are different ways of approaching homework as a cultural practice and that there are different ways of ways of organising homework for different school and cultural contexts.

Описание: This is timely new book examines the generally accepted understanding of the theory and practice of mental health.  Drawing on historical and contemporary practices, it critically explores the concept of mental illness and how it is treated, the integration of health and social care, and providing a person-centred approach. As well as tackling more general aspects, such as how we categorise mental health and the contemporary practice around medication and treatment alternatives, it also focusses on specific areas currently labelled ‘mental illness’, including depression, anxiety, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), autistic spectrum disorder, and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).  Final chapters address the evidence for the effectiveness of psychopharmacology and the place of placebos in research and treatment, the importance of cultural sensitivity in a globalised world and the possibilities for the future practice in mental health services.  The importance of non-medical alternative therapies and the incorporation of consumer perspectives in mental health service practice are highlighted throughout as a means of strengthening the experience of mental health service delivery for mental health professionals and consumers. Whether a student on a mental health nursing course, a social work student focussing on mental health, or a practitioner in the medical and allied health professions, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants a greater understanding of the theory and practice of mental health.
