National Minorities in Serbian Academia: The Role of Gender and Language Barriers
by Karolina Lendák-KabókThis book offers an intersectional analysis of secondary and tertiary educational pathways of ethnic Hungarians, Romanians and Slovaks in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. After a detailed overview of the legal and institutional context of national minority education in Serbia, the book presents qualitative and quantitative research results to illuminate the often invisible linguistic and cultural barriers that national minority high school graduates, university students and faculty may encounter. The author also focuses on the position of national minority women in Serbian higher education and academia, shedding light on the very gendered nature of the ‘glass ceiling’ that often holds members of national minority communities back from career building. This book will be of interest to policymakers seeking nuanced interpretations of multifocal inequalities, as well as academics in fields such as gender studies, migration studies, minority languages and communities, and the sociology of education.

The National Party Chairmen and Committees: Factionalism at the Top
by Andrew GoldmanThis study traces the history of the national committee chairmanships of the two major political parties in the United States, emphasizing the national conventions and presidential campaigns - where national factions often reveal themselves. Candidate and ideolological factionalism, as the evidence of this volume demonstrates, has been the principal engine of convention action. Factional conflicts have had consequences not just for the political parties but for the party system itself. The institutional history of the two national committees and their chairmanships reveals a previously unrecorded aspect of United States national party development.

National School Policy: Major Issues in Education Policy for Schools in England and Wales, 1979 onwards (Routledge Revivals)
by Jim DockingPublished in 1996, this book presents a broad overview of the development of educational policy for schools in England and Wales since Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative administration took office in 1979. It reviews the separate strands of education policy as it relates to curriculum, equal educational opportunities, diversity and choice and management policies, and combines these with an overall appraisal of the direction of the schools system in the two decades before it was written. The book thereby provides a comprehensive text for undergraduate and postgraduate students which raises issues for debate and includes support material for discussion. It will also be of interest to school governors, educationalists and all those who care about the direction of educational change.

National Science Education Standards
by National Research Council StaffAmericans agree that our students urgently need better science education. But what should they be expected to know and be able to do? Can the same expectations be applied across our diverse society? These and other fundamental issues are addressed in National Science Education Standards--a landmark development effort that reflects the contributions of thousands of teachers, scientists, science educators, and other experts across the country. The National Science Education Standards offer a coherent vision of what it means to be scientifically literate, describing what all students regardless of background or circumstance should understand and be able to do at different grade levels in various science categories. The standards address: The exemplary practice of science teaching that provides students with experiences that enable them to achieve scientific literacy. Criteria for assessing and analyzing students' attainments in science and the learning opportunities that school science programs afford. The nature and design of the school and district science program. The support and resources needed for students to learn science. These standards reflect the principles that learning science is an inquiry-based process, that science in schools should reflect the intellectual traditions of contemporary science, and that all Americans have a role in improving science education. This document will be invaluable to education policymakers, school system administrators, teacher educators, individual teachers, and concerned parents.
National Subcommissions of ICMI and their Role in the Reform of Mathematics Education (International Studies in the History of Mathematics and its Teaching)
by Alexander KarpICMI (or IMUK) was founded in 1908 and initiated the establishment of national subcommissions to launch national activities in response to the IMUK agenda and to promote the reform proposals within each member country.While ICMI’s activities were thoroughly studied, the activities of the national subcommissions are studied only very marginally. In the meantime, their work has been of major importance – both because of their role in exploring and documenting the development of mathematics education at the beginning of the 20th century, and because of the changes and new ideas which they brought to their countries. Importantly, even if some results of their activities were analyzed within their countries in the corresponding languages, almost nothing is known internationally. This book is planned to deepen our knowledge on at least some of the national subcommissions. The book will interest both researchers and others interested in mathematics education and its development.

by Bob Lingard Sam Sellar Greg ThompsonOver the last two decades, large-scale national, or provincial, standardised testing has become prominent in the schools of many countries around the globe.

Using Australia as the case site for global concerns regarding national testing, this book will be an invaluable companion for education researchers, teacher educators, teacher education students and teachers globally.

Nationalerziehung: Nationalpädagogische Ansätze in Preußen vom Generallandschulreglement bis zur Reichsgründung (1763-1871)
by Andreas MarxAndreas Marx liefert mit diesem Buch einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Geschichte der Nationalerziehung. Die Analyse ist der historischen Bildungsforschung zuzuordnen und legt zugleich Ergebnisse für die historische Forschung der Sozialen Arbeit dar. Historischer Patriotismus und Nationalismus sowie politische und kulturelle Identität werden hierbei im Kontext von Erziehungs- und Bildungstheorien betrachtet. Im Zentrum steht die wissenschaftliche Rekonstruktion historisch-pädagogischer Diskurse um Nationalerziehung zwischen 1763 und 1871 anhand von zehn Modellen. Die aus dem Forschungsinteresse formulierten Fragestellungen unterteilen sich in Sprache und Sprachbilder, Menschenbilder, die „soziale Frage“, Nation und Staat, Religion, staatsbürgerliche Erziehung und Geschlechterfragen. Es wird der Annahme gefolgt, dass das Wissen über historische Nationalerziehung auch Beiträge für die gegenwärtige politische Bildung leistet; etwa in Bezug auf gesellschaftspolitische Spannungsfelder vor dem Hintergrund deutscher Gesellschaftspolitik und auf eine weltpolitische Perspektive. Im Ergebnis treten somit einmalige Zusammen- und Gegenüberstellungen von Impulsen historischer Nationalerziehung hervor, welche einen erweiterten Blick auf aktuelle Diskurse ermöglichen.
Nationalism and History Education: Curricula and Textbooks in the United States and France (Routledge Research in International and Comparative Education)
by Rachel D. HutchinsHistory education, by nature, transmits an ‘official’ version of national identity. National identity is not a fixed entity, and controversy over history teaching is an essential part of the process of redefining and regenerating the nation. France and the United States have in particular experienced demographic and cultural shifts since the 1960s that have resulted in intense debates over national identity. This volume examines how each country’s national history is represented in primary schools’ social studies textbooks and curricula, and how they handle contemporary issues of ethnicity, diversity, gender, socio-economic inequality, and patriotism. By analyzing each country separately and comparatively, it demonstrates how various groups (including academics, politicians and citizen activists) have influenced education, and how the process of writing and rewriting history perpetuates a nation. Drawing on empirical studies of the United States and France, this volume provides insight into broader nationalist processes and instructive principles for similar countries in the modern world.
