The Feedback Pendulum: A manifesto for enhancing feedback in education
by Michael ChilesIn the words of Bill Gates, 'We all need people who give us feedback. That's how we improve.' The art of giving feedback is widely recognised as one of the most powerful tools in education and equally one of the most variable aspects in the way it is applied. In The Feedback Pendulum, Michael aims to explore how the use of feedback has evolved over time, drawing on a combination of research and sharing experiences, and examples of best practices across the different phases of education to establish a culture of efficient and effective feedback that supports the teaching and learning cycle. This book will unpick the research, the experience of expert practitioners, and practical strategies in the different phases of education, including: the evolution of feedback over time; pre-school feedback; primary and secondary school feedback; specialist education feedback; parental feedback; and CPD feedback Through the use of spotlights from teachers and an education psychologist's perspective interweaved throughout, Michael provides a manifesto for enhancing feedback in education.

Feeding the Future: School Lunch Programs as Global Social Policy
by Jennifer Geist RutledgeA century ago, only local charities existed to feed children. Today 368 million children receive school lunches in 151 countries, in programs supported by state and national governments. In Feeding the Future, Jennifer Geist Rutledge investigates how and why states have assumed responsibility for feeding children, chronicling the origins and spread of school lunch programs around the world, starting with the adoption of these programs in the United States and some Western European nations, and then tracing their growth through the efforts of the World Food Program. The primary focus of Feeding the Future is on social policy formation: how and why did school lunch programs emerge? Given that all countries developed education systems, why do some countries have these programs and others do not? Rutledge draws on a wealth of information--including archival resources, interviews with national policymakers in several countries, United Nations data, and agricultural statistics--to underscore the ways in which a combination of ideological and material factors led to the creation of these enduringly popular policies. She shows that, in many ways, these programs emerged largely as an unintended effect of agricultural policy that rewarded farmers for producing surpluses. School lunches provided a ready outlet for this surplus. She also describes how, in each of the cases of school lunch creation, policy entrepreneurs, motivated by a commitment to alleviate childhood malnutrition, harnessed different ideas that were relevant to their state or organization in order to funnel these agricultural surpluses into school lunch programs. The public debate over how we feed our children is becoming more and more politically charged. Feeding the Future provides vital background to these debates, illuminating the history of food policies and the ways our food system is shaped by global social policy.
Feeding the Under 5s

Feel-Bad Education: Contrarian Essays on Children and Schooling
by Alfie KohnMind-opening writing on what kids need from school, from one of education's most outspoken voices. Arguing that our schools are currently in the grip of a "cult of rigor"--a confusion of harder with better that threatens to banish both joy and meaningful intellectual inquiry from our classrooms--Alfie Kohn issues a stirring call to rethink our priorities and reconsider our practices. Kohn's latest wide-ranging collection of writings will add to his reputation as one of the most incisive thinkers in the field, who questions the assumptions too often taken for granted in discussions about education and human behavior. In nineteen recently published essays--and in a substantive introduction, new for this volume--Kohn repeatedly invites us to think more deeply about the conventional wisdom. Is self-discipline always desirable? he asks, citing surprising evidence to the contrary. Does academic cheating necessarily indicate a moral failing? Might inspirational posters commonly found on school walls (Reach for the stars!) reflect disturbing assumptions about children? Could the use of rubrics for evaluating student learning prove counterproductive? Subjecting young children to homework, grades, or standardized tests--merely because these things will be required of them later--reminds Kohn of Monty Python's "getting hit on the head lessons." And, with tongue firmly in cheek, he declares that we should immediately begin teaching twenty-second-century skills. Whether Kohn is clearing up misconceptions about progressive education or explaining why incentives for healthier living are bound to backfire, debunking the idea that education reform should be driven by concerns about economic competitiveness or putting "Supernanny" in her place, his readers will understand why the Washington Post has said that "teachers and parents who encounter Kohn and his thoughts come away transfixed, ready to change their schools."
Feel-Bad Education
by Alfie KohnMind-opening writing on what kids need from school, from one of education's most outspoken voices Almost no writer on schools asks us to question our fundamental assumptions about education and motivation as boldly as Alfie Kohn. The Washington Post says that "teachers and parents who encounter Kohn and his thoughts come away transfixed, ready to change their schools." And Time magazine has called him "perhaps the country's most outspoken critic of education's fixation on grades [and] test scores." Here is challenging and entertaining writing on where we should go in American education, in Alfie Kohn's unmistakable voice. He argues in the title essay with those who think that high standards mean joylessness in the classroom. He reflects thoughtfully on the question "Why Self-Discipline Is Overrated." And in an essay for the New York Times, which generated enormous response, he warns against the dangers of both punishing and praising children for what they do instead of parenting "unconditionally." Whether he's talking about school policy or the psychology of motivation, Kohn gives us wonderfully provocative--and utterly serious--food for thought. This new book will be greeted with enthusiasm by his many readers, and by teachers and parents seeking a refreshing perspective on today's debates about kids and schools.

Feelgood Management - Requirements and Tasks: Practical Guide with Case Studies
by Jessica LangeThis practical guide provides the reader with a comprehensive overview and detailed insight into the essential requirements and tasks of a Feelgood Manager. Feelgood Management is a new management concept that expresses the trend towards employee orientation. After customer orientation, employee orientation is considered a central future competence factor in corporate competition, especially in view of the increasing competition on the labor market (shortage of skilled workers, war for talents). The book is aimed at existing and future Feelgood Managers, who on the one hand want to get clarity and understanding about the position and tasks and on the other hand want to deepen or broaden their knowledge in key areas of responsibility. Beyond that, however, this book is useful not only for Feelgood Managers, but for anyone who manages employees. The recognition and consideration of employee needs is a task of personnel management, which is often neglected through no fault of the operational business. The reader is provided with key insights and simple ways to take advantage of Feelgood Management. The book on Feelgood Management provides an introductory overview of the topic. Many practical tips help with the implementation in one's own business. In particular, the following contents are covered: · Introduction to Feelgood Management · Tasks and requirements of the Feelgood Manager at a glance · Further development of the corporate culture Improvement of internal communication Support of the personnel management Self-management of the Feelgood Manager and support of company health management This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
Feeling Academic in the Neoliberal University: Feminist Flights, Fights and Failures (Palgrave Studies in Gender and Education)
by Yvette Taylor Kinneret LahadThis book offers a contemporary account of what it means to inhabit academia as a privilege, risk, entitlement or a failure. Drawing on international perspectives from a range of academic disciplines, it asks whether feminist spaces can offer freedom or flight from the corporatized and commercialized neoliberal university. How are feminist voices felt, heard, received, silenced, and masked? What is it to be a feminist academic in the neoliberal university? How are expectations, entitlements and burdens felt in inhabiting feminist positions and what of 'bad feeling' or 'unhappiness' amongst feminists? The volume consider these issues from across the career course, including from 'early career' and senior established scholars, as these diverse categories are themselves entangled in academic structures, sentiments and subjectivities; they are solidified in, for example, entry and promotion schemes as well as funding calls, and they ask us to identify in particular stages of 'being' or 'becoming' academic, while arguably denying the possibility of ever arriving. It will be essential reading for students and researchers in the areas of Education, Sociology, and Gender Studies.
The Feeling Child: Laying the foundations of confidence and resilience
by Maria RobinsonWhat impact does children’s emotional development and well-being have on their capacity to learn? How do you provide learning experiences that meet the developmental needs of every child in your care? The Feeling Child thoughtfully discusses the key principles of children’s emotional and behavioural development alongside descriptions of everyday practice. It clearly explains how a child’s early experiences influence their particular behaviours towards different people and different situations. Throughout the book, Maria Robinson considers the key characteristics of effective learning and shows how play is one of the key mechanisms that children use in their discovery of themselves and the world around them. These characteristics are then applied to integral aspects of early years practice to help practitioners to: support children to come to new understandings in safe yet challenging ways understand the ways in which children may approach or withdraw from learning opportunities reflect on their own teaching methods to encourage children’s engagement, motivation and creativity through effective observation and planning engage with parents and carers to help support children’s learning at home whilst maintaining the values of the family. celebrate the uniqueness of each child and provide learning experiences that are appropriate for individuals with particular learning needs, be they physical, emotional or cognitive to ensure that every child has an equal opportunity to succeed. Emphasising the importance of understanding the theory that underpins children’s emotional development, this accessible text shows practitioners how they can use this knowledge to provide learning opportunities that nourish children’s thinking and creative skills.

Feeling Medicine: How the Pelvic Exam Shapes Medical Training (Biopolitics #21)
by Kelly UndermanThe emotional and social components of teaching medical students to be good doctorsThe pelvic exam is considered a fundamental procedure for medical students to learn; it is also often the one of the first times where medical students are required to touch a real human being in a professional manner. In Feeling Medicine, Kelly Underman gives us a look inside these gynecological teaching programs, showing how they embody the tension between scientific thought and human emotion in medical education. Drawing on interviews with medical students, faculty, and the people who use their own bodies to teach this exam, Underman offers the first in-depth examination of this essential, but seldom discussed, aspect of medical education. Through studying, teaching, and learning about the pelvic exam, she contrasts the technical and emotional dimensions of learning to be a physician. Ultimately, Feeling Medicine explores what it means to be a good doctor in the twenty-first century, particularly in an era of corporatized healthcare.
Feeling Obligated: Teaching in Neoliberal Times
by Anne M. Phelan Melanie D. JanzenFeeling Obligated combines theoretical insights with the first-hand experiences of Canadian teachers to illustrate the impact of neoliberalism – the installation of market norms into educational and social policies – on teachers’ professional integrity. Anne M. Phelan and Melanie D. Janzen illustrate the miserable conditions in which teachers teach, their efforts to navigate and withstand those circumstances, and their struggle to respond ethically to students, especially those already marginalized economically and socially. Exploring how educational policies attempt to recast teachers as skilled clinicians, the book revitalizes a conversation about teaching as a vocation wherein the challenge of obligation is of central concern. Haunted by what has already happened and threatened by what may yet occur, Feeling Obligated foregrounds the challenge of ethical obligation in teaching and makes a strong case for the revitalization of teaching as a vocation, involving commitment, resolve, and trust in a future yet to come.

Feeling Smart: Why Our Emotions Are More Rational Than We Think
by Eyal WinterDistinguished authors like Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, and Nassim Nicholas Taleb have written much about the flaws in the human brain when it comes time to make a decision. Our intuitions and passions frequently fail us, leading to outcomes we don't want. In this book, Eyal Winter, Professor of Economics and Director of the Center for the Study of Rationality at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, wonders: why? If our emotions are so destructive and unreliable, why has evolution left us with them? The answer is that, even though they may not behave in a purely logical manner, our emotions frequently lead us to better, safer, more optimal outcomes. In fact, as Winter discovers, there is often logic in emotion, and emotion in logic. For instance, many mutually beneficial commitments--such as marriage, or being a member of a team--are only possible when underscored by emotion rather than deliberate thought. The difference between pleasurable music and bad noise is mathematically precise; yet it is also the result of evolution. And our inherent overconfidence--the mathematically impossible fact that most people see themselves as above average--affords us advantages in competing for things we benefit from, like food and money and romance. Other subjects illuminated in the book include the rationality of seemingly illogical feelings like trust, anger, shame, ego, and generosity. Already a bestseller in Israel, Feeling Smart brings together game theory, evolution, and behavioral science to produce a surprising and very persuasive defense of how we think, even when we don't.
Feeling Smarter and Smarter: Discovering the Inner-Ear Origins and Treatment for Dyslexia/LD, ADD/ADHD, and Phobias/Anxiety
by Harold N. Levinson, MDIn this ground-breaking book, Dr. Harold Levinson, a renowned psychiatrist and clinical researcher, provides his long-awaited follow-up work about truly understanding and successfully treating children and adults with many and diverse dyslexia-related disorders such as those found on the cover. This fascinating, life-changing title is primarily about helping children who suffer from varied combinations and severities of previously unexplained inner-ear-determined symptoms resulting in difficulties with: reading, writing, spelling, math, memory, speech, sense of direction and timegrammar, concentration/activity-level, balance and coordinationheadaches, nausea, dizziness, ringing ears, and motion-sickness frustration levels and feeling dumb, ugly, klutzy, phobic, and depressedimpulsivity, cutting class, dropping out of school, and substance abusebullying and being bullied as well as anger and social interactionslater becoming emotionally traumatized and scarred dysfunctional adults Feeling Smarter and Smarter is thus also about and for the millions of frus-trated and failing adults who are often overwhelmed by similar and even more complicated symptoms—as well as for their dedicated healers. Having laid the initial foundations for his many current insights in an earlier bestseller, Smart But Feeling Dumb, Dr. Levinson now presents a compelling range of enlightening new cases and data as well as a large number of highly original discoveries—such as his challenging illumination that all dyslexia-related manifestations are primarily inner-ear or cerebellar-vestibular—not cerebrally—determined and so do not impair IQ, and an “ingeniously simple” explanatory theory of symptom formation. Most important, all the dyslexia/inner-ear based impairments and their symptoms were discovered by Dr. Levinson to respond rapidly and often “mi-raculously” in 75 to 85 percent of cases when treated with simple and safe inner-ear enhancing medications—thus enabling bright but dumb-feeling children and adults to feel… smarter and smarter.
Feelings and Emotion-Based Learning
by Jennifer A. HawkinsThis book explores academic learning theories in relation to modern cognitive research. It suggests that developing a feelings and emotion-based learning theory could improve our understanding of human learning behavior. Jennifer A. Hawkins argues that feelings are rational in individuals' own terms and should be considered--whether or not we agree with them. She examines learners' experiences and posits that feelings and emotions are logical to individuals according to their current beliefs, memories, and knowledge. This volume provides rich case studies and empirical data, and shows that acknowledging feelings during and after learning experiences helps to solve cognitive difficulties and aids motivation and self-reflection. It also demonstrates various ways to record and analyze feelings to provide useful research evidence.

#FeesMustFall and Youth Mobilisation in South Africa: Reform or Revolution? (Routledge Contemporary South Africa)
by Musawenkosi W NdlovuThis book examines the historical FeesMustFall (FMF) university student protests that took place in South Africa and shows how the enduring historical construction, representation and conceptualisation of South African youth (as typically radical and political) contributed to the (mis)interpretation of FMF protests, and led to a discourse on an African National Congress-toppling revolution. Arguing that the student protests were not the revolutionary movement they have been represented as, Ndlovu demonstrates that ideological divisions amongst the protestors, the declining economy, and reduced youth participation in the political public sphere cannot lead to a new revolution in South African politics. This book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in South African politics, higher education, democracy and protest movements.
Fehler im Griff: Fehlleistungen begreifen. Fehlertypen unterscheiden. Fehlerursachen vermeiden.
by Martin SauerlandDieses Buch enthält alles, was Sie über Fehler, Fehlerursachen, vor allem aber über die Möglichkeiten der Vermeidung von Fehlern bei typischen Bürotätigkeiten wissen müssen. Sie kennen es (natürlich nur vom Hörensagen): Die Originalvorlage im Kopierer liegen lassen, eine E-Mail ohne den erforderlichen Anhang versenden, eine vertrauliche Nachricht falsch adressieren, eine Rechnung über 17683 € statt über 17863 € ausstellen oder eine Stelle mit einer inkompetenten Person besetzen – menschliche Fehlleistungen sind ärgerlich, zumeist auch peinlich, zuweilen auch enorm kostspielig. Im Rahmen zahlreicher wissenschaftlicher Analysen sind wir den Häufigkeiten, Typen, Ursachen und Bewältigungsmöglichkeiten solcher Heimsuchungen auf den Grund gegangen. Die Befunde werden auf beispielhafte, anschauliche und amüsante Weise vorgestellt. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf den tieferliegenden motivationalen Fehlerursachen. Die Berücksichtigung dieser energetischen Komponente ermöglicht es nämlich, neue und wirkmächtige Strategien zur Vermeidung von Fehlern in einer immer komplexer und dynamischer werdenden Arbeitswelt zu entwickeln. Die entsprechenden Methoden können von Mitarbeitenden und Führungskräften niedrigschwellig, unmittelbar und selbstgesteuert angewendet werden. Vielleicht ist es durch authentisch-motiviertes Handeln sogar möglich, so etwas wie subjektiv erlebte Fehlerfreiheit zu erreichen. Doch lesen Sie selbst! Zum Autor: Dr. Martin Sauerland, Professor für Arbeit und Organisation an der Hochschule für öffentliche Verwaltung und Finanzen in Ludwigsburg.
Fehlerkultur in Organisationen: Eine organisationsethnografische Studie in der stationären Altenpflege (Organisation und Pädagogik #33)
by Kerstin BestvaterIm Zentrum dieser Studie steht die Frage nach der Verflechtung der Fehlerkultur mit den Entscheidungs- und Handlungspraktiken in einer Alten- und Pflegeeinrichtung. Dafür wurde mit der pädagogischen Organisationsethnografie ein explorativer Zugang zum Forschungsgegenstand gewählt, der einen tiefen Einblick in die soziale Welt der Altenpflege gewährt. Kernstück ist eine konzeptualisierende Darstellung feldtypischer Praktiken und eine gegenstandsbezogene Theorieentwicklung, die im Sinne der Grounded Theory umgesetzt wurde. Das genuine Dilemma der Altenpflege zwischen Wirtschaftlichkeit und Pflegeethos führt zu Praxismustern, die als Problemlösungsstrategien auch die Fehlerkultur prägen.
