Описание: The book analyzes worldwide changes in school organization and the teaching profession, and how the profession has been impacted by education policies that promote assessments and accountability. It also identifies some shifts in professional positions, statuses and profiles, and characterizes the impact and contextualization of professional standards that shape teaching practices and the management of schools. Further, the book provides relevant comparative and empirical data on the restructuring of the teaching profession in an era of globalization through a critical perspective on and an overview of the main research and comparative findings across countries. As such, the book is not only directed to educational researchers but will also interest professionals and policymakers, addressing a broader education and policy community concerned by the new aspects shaping the teaching profession in the 21st century.

Описание: This ground-breaking book uncovers a hidden history of the professional development of serving teachers. Drawing on hitherto unpublished archive material, Wendy Robinson reveals an optimistic and liberal age of high class conferences in the 1920s and 1930s, in London hotels and Oxford colleges, free from government control, where teachers from across the country and abroad, gathered for professional, intellectual and cultural ‘refreshment’. The status attached to these occasions was signified by the celebrities who graced them, including royalty, public intellectuals, educational practitioners and politicians. Professor Robinson then shows how post-war training became more instrumental, taken over by the Ministry of Education with its centrally-prescribed advanced courses, and, from 1970, by Local Education Authorities’ invention of apparently democratic Teachers’ Centres. This analysis is complemented by face-to-face interviews with teachers and other practitioners once active in professional development. Fascinating, detailed interviews brilliantly capture teachers’ lived experience of professional development and its influence on their teaching, career development and professional identity. Fresh and original, lucidly written by one of the leading historians of education in Britain, A Learning Profession? is essential and engaging reading for those interested in the development of a teaching profession.

Описание: This edited volume is a state-of-the-art comparison of primary science education across six East-Asian regions; namely, the People’s Republic of China, Republic of Korea, Republic of China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, and Singapore. While news of educational policies, classroom teaching, assessment, and other educational innovations here often surface in the international media, this book brings together for the first time relevant information regarding educational systems and strategies in primary science in East Asia. Above all, it is a readable yet comprehensive survey—readers would have an accurate sense of what has been accomplished, what has not worked so well, and what remains to be done. Invited experts in comparative education research and/or science education also provide commentary by discussing common themes across the six regions. These types of critical synoptic reviews add much value by enabling readers to understand broad commonalities and help synthesize what must surely be a bewildering amount of very interesting albeit confusing body of facts, issues, and policies. Education in East Asia holds many lessons (both positive and negative) to offer to the rest of the world to which this volume is a timely contribution to the literature.

Описание: One of the best-written accounts in English of Singapore in the early 1950s, Snake Wine is the record of Patrick Anderson's two years a lecturer at the University of Malaya. Anderson, a successful British-born Canadian poet, has, according to the blurb for the original edition ""an unjaded eye, an unconventional mind, a taste for the exotic, a keen sense of the droll and a lively interest in the diversity of human manners and motives"". He follows this curiosity far beyond the Bukit Timah campus to a Singapore that has yet to experience the great transformations of the 1960s and 70s.

Anderson's position and background represent privileges he cannot escape, but he cultivates his marginality as a leftist and bisexual. He writes with a gentle humour about the contradictions of his own position as a teacher of English literature to students like Wang Gungwu, Hedwig Anuar and James Puthucheary, a generation preparing themselves for the the struggles that would lead to the formation of Malaysia and, ultimately, an independent Singapore. As Philip Holden writes in his introduction, Anderson's text both enacts and ""consciously undermines its own authority and struggles with issues of privilege, exile, and authority"". Set in the fluid world of the colonial port city, it is ""saturated with queer sexualities"".

Snake Wine, collected here together with a Singapore-related short story and two poems, is an engaging read on many levels, but also one that ""offers an important perspective on the politics and cultures of emergent national elites which is still relevant in Singapore today.
