Outdoor Environmental Education in Higher Education: International Perspectives (International Explorations in Outdoor and Environmental Education #9)
by Heather Prince Glyn Thomas Janet DymentThis book brings together an international group of authors to discuss the outdoor environmental education (OEE) theory and practice that educators can use to support teaching and learning in higher education. The book contents are organised around a recently established list of threshold concepts that can be used to describe the knowledge and skills that university students would develop if they complete a major in outdoor education. There are six key sections: the theoretical foundations and philosophies of OEE; the pedagogical approaches and issues involved in teaching OEE; the ways in which OEE is a social, cultural and environmental endeavour; how outdoor educators can advocate for social justice; key approaches to safety management; and the need for on-going professional practice. The threshold concepts that form the premise of the book describe outdoor educators as creating opportunities for experiential learning using pedagogies that align their programme’s purpose and practice. Outdoor educators are place-responsive, and see their work as a social, cultural and environmental endeavour. They advocate for social and environmental justice, and they understand and apply safety principles and routinely engage in reflective practice. This book will provide clarity and direction for emerging and established outdoor educators around the world and will also be relevant to students and professionals working in related fields such as environmental education, adventure therapy, and outdoor recreation.

Pädagogisches Ethos: Zur Theorie des professionellen Handelns von Lehrpersonen
by Tanja ObexDie Dissertation beschäftigt sich aus professionstheoretischer Perspektive mit dem Phänomen des pädagogischen Ethos von Lehrer*innen. Sie will eine Antwort auf folgende Frage geben: Wie kann Ethos als Element pädagogischer Professionalität von Lehrer*innen konzipiert werden, und welche Elemente enthält eine solche Theorie des pädagogischen Ethos? Ausgangspunkt ist erstens die Feststellung, dass Ethos zwar als zentrales Element pädagogisch professionellen Handelns gilt, eine systematische Integration in Modelle professionellen Handels aber bislang nicht vorliegt. Zweitens wird die Kritik an einer strukturtheoretischen Professionstheorie geteilt, die durch die Hervorhebung von Widersprüchen und Antinomien im Handeln von Lehrpersonen den Beruf als einen unmöglichen rahmen. Die These lautet, dass sich mit einem Konzept von Ethos als Praxis ein pädagogischer Umgang mit strukturellen Antinomien beschreiben lässt, ohne den Anspruch auf Professionalität aufgeben zu müssen. Ausgehend von Hans Joas‘ Theorie des kreativen Handelns wird pädagogisches Ethos als spezifische Form experimentellen Handelns mit den Dimensionen Kontingenz, Ethik und Macht konzipiert. Ethos antwortet auf Handlungshemmungen, die durch pädagogische Antinomien ausgelöst werden. Mittels Analysen von videografiertem Unterrichtsmaterial lassen sich die Aspekte Relationalität und Körperlichkeit als Denkvoraussetzungen einer Theorie des pädagogischen Ethos rekonstruieren. Pädagogisches Ethos hat die Qualität eines experimentellen Handelns, weil ‚unmögliche‘ Entscheidungen getroffen werden, die einer Rationalität eigener Art folgen: einer Rationalität, die in dem – unausgesprochenen – Versprechen gegenüber sich selbst gründet, eine ‚Sache‘ gut zu machen.
Paediatric Radiology Rapid Reporting
by Michael Paddock Amaka C. Offiah Caoilfhionn Ní LeidhinThere is a narrow margin between pass and fail in the notably demanding Rapid Reporting component of the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) Part 2B examination. This book provides readers with a comprehensive evaluation of paediatric radiographs, not only for those preparing for this examination but for all those who report them in their clinical practice. The overriding principle remains the same regardless of background – safe radiographic interpretation. Prospective candidates may have only had limited opportunity to report paediatric imaging, which may have been some time before they attempt the examination. Whilst other resources provide only a limited selection of paediatric radiographs, this book is solely dedicated to improving skill and knowledge in paediatric reporting. This text has been meticulously crafted to bridge any gaps in knowledge, while addressing deficiencies repeatedly identified in the FRCR Part 2B Examiners’ Reports in that “many candidates struggle with interpretation of paediatric imaging—even for common paediatric pathologies” and that “knowledge of normal appearances on paediatric plain images…was particularly poor in the Rapid Reporting”. This new edition has been extensively revised and contains 3 new tests. This unrivalled educational resource now comprises nearly 400 practice paediatric radiographs which is unique to the marketplace. The range of cases, from neonate to adolescent, deliver a sound knowledge of common paediatric fracture patterns and pathologies which enables readers to confidently differentiate between normal and abnormal. The much-lauded explanations accompanying these high-quality imaging tests remain robust and accurate, allowing candidates to maximise their preparation for all facets of the FRCR 2B examination and beyond. Foreword by Professor Derek Roebuck
