La Reconnaissance professionnelle en éducation: Évaluer, valoriser, légitimer (Collection Questions en éducation)
by Anne JorroLa recherche et la construction théorique de la reconnaissance professionnelle en éducation trouve dans ce volume sa première élaboration qui porte sur la distinction entre l’évaluation et la reconnaissance professionnelle. L’aversion pour l’évaluation dans l’éducation tient dans le fait que l’évaluation comme pratique vécue laissait à l’acteur le poids d’un regard critique, un poids trop lourd à supporter et dont les conséquences sont bien connues : pratiques de contournement et déni de l’évaluation par les évalués et les évaluateurs. La reconnaissance professionnelle devient plus attirante quand elle est le signe d’une évaluation positive, réalisant alors une reconfiguration identitaire des enseignants en formation et développement professionnel. De ce point de vue, la reconnaissance professionnelle pourrait être une nouvelle forme de l’évaluation professionnelle qui tienne compte des systèmes d’attentes interpersonnels, et qui suppose des processus de valorisation et de légitimation des qualités professionnelles en éducation.

La stanza chiusa a chiave: Uno studio psicoanalitico su Rustin Cohle, personaggio di True Detective
by David Hijón RomeroQuesto saggio delinea un'analisi approfondita di Rustin Cohle, il protagonista della serie televisiva True Detective prodotta dalla HBO. Rustin Cohle è un detective che ha il compito di investigare sul caso di una donna assassinata, il cui corpo viene rinvenuto in una strana posizione il giorno del compleanno di sua figlia. È un personaggio riflessivo che si considera una persona realistica, ma in termini filosofici è consapevole di essere pessimista a causa della sua visione della vita e della realtà. Analizzeremo il comportamento di Rustin Cohle, il suo modo di guardare la realtà e la sua psiche (o come lui stesso la definisce, la stanza chiusa a chiave) da un punto di vista psicoanalitico. A questo scopo, ci serviremo della teoria psicoanalitica di Freud e delle recenti ricerche basate sulla teoria del trauma.

La Valeur d'Une Femme
by G. G. Vega Elphanielle HervéMalheureusement, l’histoire de l’humanité après le déluge (Genèse 6 y 7), nous a montré que les femmes ont beaucoup souffert, surtout de l’abus des hommes, un manque de respect et un manque de valorisation de l’identité de la femme. Elles ont souffert de ridicules limitation sociales, intellectuelles et du travail, un manque de considération de tout type, mépris, discrimination et marginalisation. À un moment, les hommes ont commis l’injustice de les appeler le sexe faible, en général, dans le sens du mépris, d’inutilité ou d’une gêne. Ce qui est ironique c’est que chaque homme, après Adam, existe grâce à une femme. Sans le ventre de la femme, ils ne pourraient pas être enfanté, sans la poitrine de la femme, ils ne vivraient pas plus d’une semaine, et sans la protection, l’aide, l’attention et l’éducation de leurs mères, ils ne deviendraient pas des hommes utiles, ils ne pourraient pas être forts, ni se sentir capable de prendre son indépendance. Ce livre a le but de mettre en avant ce que mérite les femmes. Nous, les hommes, ne sommes pas plus, nous avons seulement un autre rôle dans la vie.
The Lab: Creativity and Culture
by David EdwardsNever has the spirit of innovation been more highly valued than today. Around the world, people see the hard-to-teach skills of creativity as the lifeblood of cultural change and the engine of economic development. In The Lab, David Edwards presents a blueprint for revitalizing labs with "artscience"? creative thought that erases conventional boundaries between art and science?to produce innovations that otherwise might never see the light of day. At the heart of The Lab is "cultural incubation," whereby ideas translate with free-wheeling public exchange through a kind of innovation funnel—from educational settings (as in The Lab at Harvard University), to cultural settings (as at Le Laboratoire in Paris and elsewhere), to realizations as innovative products or humanitarian initiatives (within LaboGroup and other translation labs around the globe). With examples ranging from breathable chocolate (Le Whif) to contemporary art installations that explore the neuroscience of fear, Edwards shows how a measured-risk, seed-investment, mentorship-focused network of labs can allow exotic, unexpected ideas to flourish without being killed off at the first hint of impracticality. Unique to the innovation funnel is how creator risk is encouraged but also managed by mentors and others in each lab, so that the most daring ideas—lighting African villages with microbiotic lamps, or cleaning the air with plant-based filters—can emerge within passionate and sometimes inexperienced creative bands. Lively and engaging, replete with anecdotes that bring Edwards's unique personal experience in developing artscience labs to life, The Lab approaches innovation from exciting new angles, finding invigorating ways to repurpose our most creative assets—in scientific exploration, artistic imagination, and business model-building. David Edwards teaches at Harvard University in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. His creative work is described at www.davidideas.com.

Lab Reports and Projects in Sport and Exercise Science: A Guide for Students
by Mike PriceMost science degrees will have a practical or laboratory-based component which will require some sort of final report, whether this be a conventional laboratory report or a final-year dissertation. All of these formats require students to be able to analyse their data in an appropriate way and subsequently convey their key thoughts and information to a third party. Therefore, writing laboratory reports is an essential part any science degree. This new revised edition sees the expansion of statistical examples including initial data checks and assumptions, increased awareness of critical appraisal tools and resources, project planning and a range of 'Challenge yourself' activities to supplement understanding and provides a comprehensive overview of what should be contained within each section of a scientific report, and clearly explains how it should be presented. Written in a friendly and engaging style, it guides the reader through abstracts, literature reviews, methodology, reporting discussions and referencing and contains a wealth of examples and practical advice on how to improve and refine your own writing. From writing a first lab report to preparing a final-year dissertation or postgraduate thesis, sports and exercise science students at all levels will find this book a valuable resource in developing both skill and confidence in scientific communication. Key features include: The layout of the book is designed to reflect that of a typical scientific report to help students plan their own projects. Each chapter includes numerous examples, exercises and activities to engage students and develop skills in each aspect of report writing. The book includes discussion of critical appraisal techniques to help students refine their research questions. All data sets and illustrations used are drawn from the key disciplines in sport and exercise science, including physiology, psychology and biomechanics.

Labnet: Toward A Community of Practice (Technology and Education Series)
by Richard Ruopp Shahaf Gal Brian Drayton Meghan PfisterConnected by a computer telecommunications network, ninth-graders from eight high schools scattered thousands of miles across Alaska work together, building a robot submarine to gather samples from the floor of Prince William Sound. This is high school science as some teachers and educational reformers today envision it -- centered on student projects that encourage learning by doing...supported by modern technology...enriched by collaboration among students and teachers, both face to face and far apart. This example is drawn from LabNet, a three-year effort funded by the National Science Foundation. The project was conducted by Technical Education Research Centers (TERC), a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to improving mathematics and science education. Eventually reaching 562 teachers in 37 states, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa, LabNet had a direct impact on their classroom practice. In a follow-up evaluation, the majority said they had assigned their students more projects and had used LabNet's telecommunications network to exchange project ideas with other teachers. This book is the story of LabNet as told by its editors, with 14 additional essays on science projects -- both theoretical and practical -- by LabNet teachers and TERC staff.
The Labor of Job: The Biblical Text as a Parable of Human Labor
by Antonio NegriIn The Labor of Job, the renowned Marxist political philosopher Antonio Negri develops an unorthodox interpretation of the Old Testament book of Job, a canonical text of Judeo-Christian thought. In the biblical narrative, the pious Job is made to suffer for no apparent reason. The story revolves around his quest to understand why he must bear, and why God would allow, such misery. Conventional readings explain the tale as an affirmation of divine transcendence. When God finally speaks to Job, it is to assert his sovereignty and establish that it is not Job's place to question what God allows. In Negri's materialist reading, Job does not recognize God's transcendence. He denies it, and in so doing becomes a co-creator of himself and the world. The Labor of Job was first published in Italy in 1990. Negri began writing it in the early 1980s, while he was a political prisoner in Italy, and it was the first book he completed during his exile in France (1983-97). As he writes in the preface, understanding suffering was for him in the early 1980s "an essential element of resistance. . . . It was the problem of liberation, in prison and in exile, from within the absoluteness of Power. " Negri presents a Marxist interpretation of Job's story. He describes it as a parable of human labor, one that illustrates the impossibility of systems of measure, whether of divine justice (in Job's case) or the value of labor (in the case of late-twentieth-century Marxism). In the foreword, Michael Hardt elaborates on this interpretation. In his commentary, Roland Boer considers Negri's reading of the book of Job in relation to the Bible and biblical exegesis. The Labor of Job provides an intriguing and accessible entry into the thought of one of today's most important political philosophers.

Laboratory Experiments Chemistry: The Central Science
by John H. Nelson Kenneth C. Kemp Michael LufasoThis manual contains 43 finely tuned experiments chosen to introduce basic lab techniques and to illustrate core chemical principles. In the 14th Edition, all experiments were carefully edited for accuracy, safety, and cost. Pre-labs and questions were revised and new experiments added concerning solutions, polymers, and hydrates. Each of the experiments is self-contained, with sufficient background material, to conduct and understand the experiment. Each has a pedagogical objective to exemplify one or more specific principles. <P><P> Because the experiments are self-contained, they may be undertaken in any order, although the authors have found in their General Chemistry course that the sequence of Experiments 1 through 7 provides the firmest background and introduction. The authors have included pre-lab questions to answer before starting the lab. The questions are designed to help in understanding the experiment, learning how to do the necessary calculations to treat their data, and as an incentive for reading the experiment in advance. These labs can also be customized through Pearson Collections, our custom database program.

Laboring and Learning
by Tatek Abebe Johanna WatersThis volume incorporates ground-breaking new academic perspectives on the contributions that children and young people make to societies around the world, with a particular focus on learning and work. The chapters in the volume offer conceptual and empirical insights into how young people learn to labour, and the complex social, spatial, temporal, institutional and relational processes that informs their engagements in daily, generational and social reproduction. The editors have intentionally avoided using the terms 'education' and 'employment' in the title, as this volume is an attempt to capture the multitude of ways, spaces and contexts (not just 'formal') in which learning takes place and work is carried out. Here, learning indicates education in the broadest possible sense, to incorporate not just formal schooling and the acquisition of institutionally recognised academic knowledge and credentials, but also informal learning (including socialization and the on-the-job acquisition of skills that takes place almost imperceptibly, over time). In addition to the theoretical perspectives this volume brings on young people's education and work, other prominent conceptual themes present throughout the work are mobilities, transitions and gender. Following four initial chapters that engage with conceptual issues, the remainder of the volume is divided into two sections, entitled 'spaces of labouring and learning' and 'livelihoods, transitions and social reproduction'. Within these sections, a broad spectrum of empirical chapters demonstrates how young people live, learn and labour in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. These include, among others, geographies of education; interface between migration, learning and livelihoods; cultural politics of human capital formation; schooling and work; citizenship education; families and parenting; socialization and informal education; education-induced migration; processes and practices of inclusion and exclusion in educational institutions; part-time work; domestic work; care work; informal livelihoods; entrepreneurship; social transitions; and a wide range of social, economic, cultural, political (structural) forces that intersect and dissect these topics. As the reader will become aware, there is no such thing as a standard educational or work trajectory, a 'normal' transition or a straight forward relationship between work, education and social reproduction. Indeed, one of the aims of the volume is deliberately to showcase the diversity that young people's lives hold in this regard.
