Evidence-based teaching in primary education (Critical Guides for Teacher Educators)
by Ian Menter Val PoultneyTrainees and school-based practitioners are being encouraged to engage more with evidence-based teaching methods. Teachers are now more responsible for the outcomes of their own practice and are charged with sourcing ‘best practice’ solutions in their pedagogical approaches. And schools are moving more towards in-house professional development approaches that have a clear focus on raising standards in the classroom.This book focuses on how universities and primary schools can work together to lead, manage and sustain a culture of teacher inquiry. It examines the role of the university in providing a critical perspective on teaching and learning and how academics can support schools by working as ‘knowledgeable others' and advocates of classroom-based research. As a case study, it explores the journey taken by one particular primary school, in partnership with a university, over a two-year period, detailing how this work has impacted on the professional lives of staff, the children they teach, the overall culture of the school and the impact on school improvement. Chapters are contributed by professional school leaders, university academics and primary teachers and there is a focus on the rigorous examination of models of evidenced-based teaching, practical examples demonstrating some of the best and most sustainable approaches, and positive outcomes.

Evidenzbasierte Lehrstrategien: Optimierung des Bildungserfolgs von Schülerinnen und Schülern
by Garry Hornby Deborah GreavesDieses Buch befasst sich mit evidenzbasierten Praktiken, die einen effektiven Unterricht ermöglichen, um einen optimalen Bildungserfolg für Schüler zu gewährleisten. Es identifiziert Schlüsselstrategien, die auf umfangreichen Forschungsergebnissen basieren, welche ihre Wirksamkeit bei der Verbesserung der Schülerergebnisse bestätigen. Das Buch bietet Lehrkräften einen Leitfaden zur Unterscheidung zwischen Strategien, die evidenzbasiert sind, und solchen, für die es nur wenige oder gar keine Belege gibt. Es beschreibt gängige Unterrichtsstrategien, die häufig in Schulen eingesetzt werden, obwohl ihre Wirksamkeit kaum belegt ist. Darüber hinaus werden in dem Buch acht wichtige evidenzbasierte Unterrichtspraktiken genannt, die von den Lehrkräften direkt umgesetzt werden können, die theoretischen und forschungsbasierten Grundlagen für jede dieser Strategien erläutert, und es werden Leitlinien für Sonder- und allgemeinbildende Lehrkräfte gegeben, wie sie diese Strategien am effektivsten anwenden können, mit Links zu Videobeispielen für ihre Anwendung im Unterricht. Der Text untersucht auch häufige Hindernisse für den Einsatz evidenzbasierter Praktiken in Schulen. Es werden die Auswirkungen auf die Lehrerausbildung untersucht, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der Ausbildung von Pädagogen liegt, damit sie evidenzbasierte Strategien erkennen und effektiv umsetzen können, wobei diejenigen vermieden werden, die nicht evidenzbasiert sind, selbst wenn sie in den Schulen beliebt sind. „Evidenzbasierte Lehrstrategien“ ist ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk für Forscher, Fachleute und Studenten der pädagogischen Psychologie, der Kinder- und Schulpsychologie und der Sozialarbeit, die daran interessiert sind, wirksame Lehrmethoden kennenzulernen und umzusetzen, die das Engagement der Schüler und ihre schulischen Leistungen verbessern, das sozial-emotionale Lernen stärken und die Schulabbrecherquote senken.

Evolution Education Around the Globe
by Hasan Deniz Lisa A. BorgerdingThis edited book provides a global view on evolution education. It describes the state of evolution education in different countries that are representative of geographical regions around the globe such as Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North Africa, South Africa, North America, South America,Middle East, Far East, South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.Studies in evolution education literature can be divided into three main categories: (a) understanding the interrelationships among cognitive, affective, epistemological, and religious factors that are related to peoples’ views about evolution, (b) designing, implementing, evaluating evolution education curriculum that reflects contemporary evolution understanding, and (c) reducing antievolutionary attitudes. This volume systematically summarizes the evolution education literature across these three categories for each country or geographical region. The individual chapters thus include common elements that facilitate a cross-cultural meta-analysis. Written for a primarily academic audience, this book provides a much-needed common background for future evolution education research across the globe.
Evolution Education Re-considered: Understanding What Works
by Michael J. Reiss Ute HarmsThis collection presents research-based interventions using existing knowledge to produce new pedagogies to teach evolution to learners more successfully, whether in schools or elsewhere. ‘Success’ here is measured as cognitive gains, as acceptance of evolution or an increased desire to continue to learn about it. Aside from introductory and concluding chapters by the editors, each chapter consists of a research-based intervention intended to enable evolution to be taught successfully; all these interventions have been researched and evaluated by the chapters’ authors and the findings are presented along with discussions of the implications. The result is an important compendium of studies from around the word conducted both inside and outside of school. The volume is unique and provides an essential reference point and platform for future work for the foreseeable future.
Evolution Education in the American South
by Christopher D. Lynn Amanda L. Glaze William A. Evans Laura K. ReedThis volume reaches beyond the controversy surrounding the teaching and learning of evolution in the United States, specifically in regard to the culture, politics, and beliefs found in the Southeast. The editors argue that despite a deep history of conflict in the region surrounding evolution, there is a wealth of evolution research taking place--from biodiversity in species to cultural evolution and human development. In fact, scientists, educators, and researchers from around the United States have found their niche in the South, where biodiversity is high, culture runs deep, and the pace is just a little bit slower.
Evolution and Learning: The Baldwin Effect Reconsidered
by Bruce H. Weber David J. DepewThe role of genetic inheritance dominates current evolutionary theory. At the end of the nineteenth century, however, several evolutionary theorists independently speculated that learned behaviors could also affect the direction and rate of evolutionary change. This notion was called the Baldwin effect, after the psychologist James Mark Baldwin. In recent years, philosophers and theorists of a variety of ontological and epistemological backgrounds have begun to employ the Baldwin effect in their accounts of the evolutionary emergence of mind and of how mind, through behavior, might affect evolution. The essays in this book discuss the originally proposed Baldwin effect, how it was modified over time, and its possible contribution to contemporary empirical and theoretical evolutionary studies. The topics include the effect of the modern evolutionary synthesis on the notion of the Baldwin effect, the nature and role of niche construction in contemporary evolutionary theory, the Baldwin effect in the context of developmental systems theory, the possible role of the Baldwin effect in computational cognitive science biosemiotics, and the emergence of consciousness and language.
Evolution and Religion in American Education
by David E. LongEvolution and Religion in American Education shines a light into one of America's dark educational corners, exposing the regressive pedagogy that can invade science classrooms when school boards and state overseers take their eyes off the ball. It sets out to examine the development of college students' attitudes towards biological evolution through their lives. The fascinating insights provided by interviewing students about their world views adds up to a compelling case for additional scrutiny of the way young people's educational experiences unfold as they consider--and indeed in some cases reject--one of science's strongest and most cogent theoretical constructs. Inevitably, open discussion and consideration of the theory of evolution can chip away at the mental framework constructed by Creationists, eroding the foundations of their faith. The conceptual battleground is so fraught with logical challenges to Creationist dogma that in a number of cases students' exposure to such dangerous ideas is actively prevented. This book provides a detailed map of this astonishing struggle in today's America--a struggle many had thought was done and dusted with the onset of the Enlightenment.

Evolution of the Learning Brain: Or How You Got To Be So Smart...
by Paul Howard-JonesHow does learning transform us biologically? What learning processes do we share with bacteria, jellyfish and monkeys? Is technology impacting on our evolution and what might the future hold for the learning brain? These are just some of the questions Paul Howard-Jones explores on a fascinating journey through 3.5 billion years of brain evolution, and discovers what it all means for how we learn today. Along the way, we discover how the E. coli in our stomachs learn to find food why a little nap can help bees find their way home the many ways that action, emotion and social interaction have shaped our ability to learn the central role of learning in our rise to top predator. An accessible writing style and numerous illustrations make Evolution of the Learning Brain an enthralling combination of biology, neuroscience and educational insight. Howard-Jones provides a fresh perspective on the nature of human learning that is exhaustively researched, exploring the implications of our most distant past for twenty-first-century education.
Evolution, Creationism, and the Battle to Control America'S Classrooms
by Michael Berkman Eric PlutzerWho should decide what children are taught in school? This question lies at the heart of the evolution-creation wars that have become a regular feature of the U. S. political landscape. Ever since the 1925 Scopes 'monkey trial' many have argued that the people should decide by majority rule and through political institutions; others variously point to the federal courts, educational experts, or scientists as the ideal arbiter. Berkman and Plutzer illuminate who really controls the nation's classrooms. Based on their innovative survey of 926 high school biology teachers they show that the real power lies with individual educators who make critical decisions in their own classrooms. Broad teacher discretion sometimes leads to excellent instruction in evolution. But the authors also find evidence of strong creationist tendencies in America's public high schools. More generally, they find evidence of a systematic undermining of science and the scientific method in many classrooms.

Evolutionary Perspectives on Child Development and Education
by David C. Geary Daniel B. BerchThis stimulating volume assembles leading scholars to address issuesin children's cognitive, academic, and social development through the lens ofevolutionary psychology. Debates and controversies in the field highlight thepotential value of this understanding, from basic early learning skills throughemerging social relationships in adolescence, with implications for academicoutcomes, curriculum development, and education policy. Children's evolvedtendency toward play and exploration fuels an extended discussion on child-versus adult-directed learning, evolutionary bases are examined for younglearners' moral development, and contemporary theories of learning and memoryare viewed from an evolutionary perspective. Alongthe way, contributors' recommendations illustrate real-world uses of evolution-basedlearning interventions during key developmental years. Among the topics covered: The adaptive value of cognitive immaturity:applications of evolutionary developmental psychology to early education Guidedplay: a solution to the play versus learning dichotomy Adolescent bullying in schools: anevolutionary perspective Fairness:what it isn't, what it is, and what it might be for Adaptingevolution education to a warming climate of teaching and learning The effects of an evolution-informed school environmenton student performance and wellbeing Evolutionary Perspectives on Child Development andEducation will interest researchers andgraduate students working in diverse areas such as evolutionary psychology,cultural anthropology, human ecology, developmental psychology, and educationalpsychology. Researchers in applied developmental science and early educationwill also find it useful.
Evolutionary Playwork
by Bob HughesPlay is a crucial component in the development of all children. In this fully updated and revised edition of his classic playwork text, Bob Hughes explores the complexities of children’s play, its meaning and purpose, and argues that adult-free play is essential for the psychological well-being of the child. The book is divided into fourteen chapters that together examine the fundamentals of evolutionary play. Firstly, Hughes examines the very earliest ideas of playwork and its impact on brain growth and organization today. He then goes on to explore and explain the key theoretical concepts underlying playwork. These include discussions on free play and creating suitable play environments alongside more thorny issues such as safety and consultation. Finally, the book offers up some of Hughes’ most recent research that reveals how his approach to play and playwork in global society has continued to evolve throughout his career to meet new challenges and needs. Throughout this book, Hughes has included his fellow practitioner Mick Conway’s vivid observations of children at play to bring the facts and arguments in the text to life. This revised edition reflects important recent advances in our understanding of the evolutionary history of play and its impact on the development of the brain, of the role play in the development of resilience and of the impact of play deprivation. Evolutionary Playwork is still the only book to combine the reality of playwork practice with the fundamentals of evolutionary and developmental psychology, and it is still essential reading for all playwork students, practitioners and researchers.
Evolutionary Sociology
by Miguel D'AddarioThe most basic idea that underlies the concept of structure is that reality is not chaos. The skeleton of a living being is its bony system. The structure of a building is given in the way beams, floors, spaces, etc. are arranged. One of the most important influences in shaping the concept of structure in the sociology comes from Marxist thought in which there has been a sharper structural image of society.
