by Rashtriy Shaikshik Anusandhan Aur Prashikshan Parishad

आस-पास ३री कक्षा पुस्तक में विषय-वस्तु बाल-केंद्रित रखी गई है, जिससे बच्चों को स्वयं खोजकर पता करने का अवसर मिले। पाठ्यपुस्तक में यह प्रयास किया गया है कि रटने की प्रवृत्ति कम हो। अतः परिभाषाएँ, वर्णन, अमूर्त्त प्रत्यय आदि को स्थान नहीं दिया गया है। पाठ्यपुस्तक में जानकारी देना बहुत ही सरल कार्य है। वास्तविक चुनौती है कि बच्चों को मौका दिया जाए, जिससे वे अपने विचार प्रकट करें, उत्सुकता को बढ़ा सकें, करके सीखें, प्रश्न करें तथा प्रयोग कर सकें। बच्चे पाठ्यपुस्तक से खुशी-खुशी जुड़े, इसके लिए पाठों का प्रस्तुतीकरण विविध तरीकों से किया गया है, जैसे- किस्से-कहानियाँ, संवाद, कविताएँ, पहेलियाँ, हास्य खंड, नाटक, क्रियाकलाप आदि। बच्चों में कुछ बातों के प्रति संवेदनशीलता विकसित करने के लिए अकसर किस्से-कहानियों का इस्तेमाल महत्त्वपूर्ण माना गया है, क्योंकि बच्चे कहानी के पात्रों से अपने को आसानी से जोड़ सकते हैं। पुस्तक में प्रयुक्त भाषा भी ‘औपचारिक’ नहीं है, बल्कि बच्चों की बोल-चाल की भाषा है।

AAUP Policy Documents and Reports (9th edition)

by B. Robert Kreiser

For eighty-five years the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has been engaged in developing standards for sound academic practice and in working for the acceptance of these standards by the community of higher education. The Association has long been viewed as the authoritative voice of the academic profession in this regard. The AAUP's Policy Documents and Reports (widely known as The Redbook because of the color of its cover) presents in convenient format a wide range of policies, formulated at times in cooperation with other organizations. The current edition, the ninth (the first was published in 1968), includes basic statements on academic freedom, tenure, and due process; professional ethics; research and teaching; discrimination; academic governance; collective bargaining; students' rights and freedoms; and accreditation. Among the new documents not found in previous editions are statements on post-tenure review; tenure in the medical school; access to university records; the assignment of course grades and student appeals thereof; institutional responsibility for legal demands on faculty; distance education; intellectual property; and collegiality as a criterion for faculty evaluation. An appendix lists selected judicial decisions and scholarly writings that refer to AAUP standards. The documents in The Redbook offer guidance to all components of the academic community--trustees, administrators, faculty, and students--for the development of institutional policy and for the resolution of concrete issues as they arise.

„Ab heute bist du Ausbilder“: Eine qualitativ-empirische Studie zur Rekonstruktion des Übergangs in die Tätigkeit des hauptamtlichen Ausbildungspersonals (Theorie und Empirie Lebenslangen Lernens)

by Clarissa Pascoe

In diesem Buch wird der Übergang aus einer Tätigkeit als gewerblich-technische Fachkraft in die hauptamtliche Ausbildungsfunktion in einer betrieblichen Ausbildungswerkstatt untersucht. In einem fallrekonstruktiven Forschungsansatz wird das Erleben und Bewältigen von typischen Herausforderungen während und infolge dieses Übergangs nachgezeichnet. Hierzu wurden hauptamtliche Ausbilder*innen in den industriellen Metall- und Elektroberufen zu ihren Übergangserfahrungen befragt. Ergebnis ist eine empirisch fundierte Beschreibung von fünf typischen Entwicklungsaufgaben, mit denen Ausbilder*innen während und infolge des Übergangs konfrontiert werden und die sie in Abhängigkeit von subjektiven Ressourcen und Orientierungen unterschiedlich deuten und bearbeiten. Die Fallrekonstruktion führt zu vier Typen von Bewältigungsstrategien, die sich hinsichtlich ihres Umgangs mit Erfahrungswissen, ihrer pädagogischen Überzeugungen sowie ihres Reflexionswissens unterscheiden. Darauf aufbauend wird mit Hilfe des Sozialweltkonzeptes die Frage nach der Rolle und Funktion einer übergeordneten kollegialen Bezugsgemeinschaft als potentielle Wissens- und Kompetenzgrundlage der Akteure der beruflich-betrieblichen Bildung vor dem Hintergrund der strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen und Systemspezifika diskutiert.

The Abandoned Mission in Public Higher Education: The Case of the California State University

by Benjamin P. Bowser

The debate about how higher education is failing to play a role in reducing inequality often centers on elite colleges, while ignoring the numerous public colleges and universities that educate the majority of our students. This book adds to the discussion by exploring an in-depth case study of the largest public higher educational system in the United States, The California State University, with implications for other state systems as well. Benjamin P. Bowser, experienced faculty member and author, discusses higher education reforms in response to increasing tuition, underprepared graduates, and declining academic standards. Focusing on the faculty perspective, this text examines how these reforms can threaten the mission of a public institution, only exacerbating the crisis of higher education and inequality.
