The core objective of this book is to explore, with the aim of stimulating awareness and illuminating the extent to which Africa is equipping her next generations with responsible values and the right techno-cognitive orientation to cope with and make progress in a competitive, knowledge-driven world in continuous transition. The focal issue revolves on the strategy Africa can adopt to raise children to be African in the light of global trends and requirements. Of course, African children cannot be anything else, but African. Given today's masked hegemonies, can Africa 'be allowed' to develop in its own terms? Can Africans even notice covert hegemonies and pretensions of mutual collaboration? Thus, the book is prepared from awareness that understanding African life journeys and developmental pathways and educational praxis and needs constitute essential foreknowledge for future prospects and progress. The book attempts to enrich the fields of psychology, education, development work and cultural studies with alternative lines and models of theorisation and reinterpretation of existing evidence.

In deze reader, nummer 25 in de reeks ‘Praxis Bewegingsopvoeding’, worden een theoretisch kader enpraktische voorbeelden aangereikt over hoe de leraar de les LO als een plezierige leeromgeving kanaanbieden. In een dergelijke omgeving staan zowel het leren als het plezier beleven centraal. Dit is een belangrijke voorwaarde indien we vanuit het vak LO alle leerlingen willen voorbereiden op een actieve levensstijl. Eens te meer wordt duidelijk dat het vakconcept ook hier richtinggevend is. Het nastreven van bewegings- en persoonsgebonden doelengarandeert dat alle leerlingen graag leren bewegen. Deze reeks wil leraren LO informeren over recentevernieuwingen in het didactisch denken over het vak LO en gelijktijdig deze theorieën laten toepassen inconcrete bewegingsgebieden. Er wordt steeds het midden gehouden tussen een wetenschappelijke en onderwijskundige verantwoording van een centraal gekozen thema. Elk nummer sluit aan op de nascholing van de academischelerarenopleiding LO aan de K.U.Leuven.
Seit den 1970er Jahren wird die Manuelle Lymphdrainage vermehrt bei Ídemen und vor allem bei den bis dahin nicht behandelbaren Lymph÷demen zur Entstauung eingesetzt. Zeitgleich damit entwickelte sich durch klinische Beobachtung die Erkenntnis, dass diese manuelle Entstauung mit anderen entstauenden Massnahmen wie der Kompressionstherapie, der Bewegungstherapie sowie der sorgfõltigen Hautpflege kombiniert werden m³ssen die Entwicklung der KPE (komplexe bzw. kombinierte physikalische Entstauungstherapie).Durch das Lymphtaping ist gewissermassen frischer Wind in dieses bewõhrte Entstauungskonzept gekommen und bereichert diese bewõhrte und anerkannte Kombinationstherapie in hervorragender Weise, sodass manche sogar schon von der 5. Sõule der KPE sprechen.Josya Sijmonsma ist eine niederlõndische Physiotherapeutin, die sich seit den Anfõngen des Medical Tapings in Europa (eingef³hrt vor ³ber 10 Jahren) mit dieser Technik intensiv beschõftigt. Das vorliegende Buch widerspiegelt den enormen Erfahrungsschatz von Josya Sijmonsma.Neben den ausserordentlich instruktiven Abbildungen zu einem breitgefõcherten Indikationsbereich, werden auch die wichtigen theoretischen Hintergr³nde in knapper, gutverstõndlicher Form dargestellt.Dieses Buch ist meines Wissens nach das erste und einzige, welches die Technik des Tapens durch anatomisch-physiologische und auch pathophysiologische Erklõrungsmodelle verstõndlich macht. Ausgebildeten Lymphtherapeuten fõllt es so leicht, die Tapeanlagen unmittelbar zu verstehen, da sie sich mit den Behandlungskonzepten der komplexen physikalischen Entstauungstherapie decken.Die vielen Fallschilderungen machen dieses Buch zum unentbehrlichen Nachschlagewerk f³r die Praxis.
Many arguments have been made for the moral relevance of reading capacity. In this study Jan-Jaap van Peperstraten focuses on the most viable of these: the notion of a 'Literary Intelligence' as formulated by the English literary critic F.R. Leavis and his students. It is argued that Literary Intelligence is best conceptualized as a form of intellectual virtue: an acquired, intrinsically good, cognitive mental trait. Particular recourse is taken to the virtueethical work of Linda Trinkaus Zagzebski and it is concluded that the fostering of a reading praxis may lead to the cultivation of the intellectual virtue of phronesis - or practical wisdom. The praxis of reading may therefore be considered a vital aid for the cultivation of a state of eudaimonia: the good life. This insight is shown to have far-reaching consequences for our understanding of reading education.
This text gives prospective and practicing teachers a comprehensive understanding of how to teach multiple literacies in elementary and middle school classrooms. All of the literacies--dance, music, visual arts, popular culture, media, and computer technologies--are integrated with reading and writing. Balanced treatment is given to theoretical perspectives and practical applications. The text features authentic cases written by preservice teachers, and commentaries on the cases from practitioners and university professors. The cases are designed to prepare future teachers for the PRAXIS teacher certifying exam and others offered in many states. Three theoretical chapters support the practical applications: *Chapter 1 addresses the benefits of writing and analyzing cases and the specific attributes of exemplary teaching cases, and offers guidelines for teachers to author their own case narratives and questions for analyzing and discussing case issues with peers. *Chapter 2 discusses the role of electronic symbol making and multiple sign systems in children's literacy and how children use symbols to receive and express meaning. *Chapter 3 offers a theoretical framework that helps define and enable teachers to use the new literacies of Internet technology, and provides a strong rationale for expanding traditional definitions of literacy. The practical applications chapters (chaps. 4-12) gradually lead readers toward a deeper understanding of how to conceptualize and structure more complex, integrated lessons. In each of these chapters: *An "e;Overview"e; provides up-to-date information about the particular form of literacy discussed in the chapter. *A helpful "e;What Do You Need to Know and How Do You Begin"e; section offers ideas and tasks for teachers who wish to nurture their artistic and technological aptitudes, expand their understanding of popular culture media, and increase their knowledge about integrating diverse communication forms into cohesive themed units or instruction. *Exem
This book investigates how fascism -- as an ideology and political praxis -- reconfigured the ideological, political, and moral landscape of interwar Europe, generating an atmosphere of extreme 'license' that facilitated the leap into eliminationist violence. It demonstrates how fascist ideology linked the prospect of violent 'cleansing' to utopias of national/racial regeneration, thus encouraging and legitimizing targeted hatred against particular 'others'. It also shows how the diffusion and internationalization of fascism in the 1930s produced a sense of a revolutionary new beginning and created a transnational fascist 'new order' in which Nazi Germany came to occupy a potent position of authority. The book analyzes how the eliminationist initiative and precedent of Nazi Germany became a second 'license' that empowered fascist regimes across Europe to embark on their own eliminationist projects with diminished accountability.Finally, it examines how this 'license' -- enhanced by the actions of fascists and the collapse of order caused by World War Two -- released individuals and communities from the burden of legal and moral accountability, turning them into accomplishes in the most wide, brutal, and devastating genocidal campaign that the continent had ever experienced.

In deze reader, nummer 27 in de reeks 'Praxis Bewegingsopvoeding', wordt het vakconcept lichamelijke opvoeding (LO) verduidelijkt door naast de klassieke bewegingsdoelen de minder gekende persoonsdoelen toe te lichten. Het ontwikkelen van een positief zelfbeeld en van sociale vaardigheden is een complementaire doelstelling die in elke periode en in elke les wordt nagestreefd. Deze persoonsdoelen zijn onlosmakelijk verbonden met het realiseren van bewegingsdoelen in functie van een duurzame, actieve levensstijl. Het implementeren van deze doelen-groep vraagt een bewuste en actieve strategie van de leraar. Het plannen van een krachtige leeromgeving met bewegings- en persoonsdoelen, een aangepast gebruik van werkvormen, leer- en evaluatiemiddelen kunnen hierbij helpen. Deze reeks wil leraren LO informeren over recente vernieuwingen in het didactisch denken over het vak LO en gelijktijdig deze theorieën laten toepassen in concrete bewegingsgebieden. Er wordt steeds het midden gehouden tussen een wetenschappelijke en onderwijskundige verantwoording van een centraal gekozen thema. Elk nummer sluit aan op de nascholing van de specifieke lerarenopleiding aan de K.U.Leuven.

In this book Julian Edge explores the construct of reflexivity in teacher education, differentiating it from, while locating it in, reflective practice. Reflexivity is the key concept underpinning a view of teacher education that binds together the orientations of action research and personal development in a way that establishes common ground, common purpose, and common experience between teachers and teacher educators. Augmenting the field in important ways, The Reflexive Teacher Educator in TESOL Develops the concept of praxis as it resolves the usual theory/practice dichotomy of teacher education Introduces a framework (Copying, Applying, Theorising, Reflecting, Acting) that allows present and prospective teacher educators to become reflexive individuals Uses a narrative, autobiographical voice that explicates the concepts involved, while also offering practical methodological procedures for teacher education Written with clarity and style, scholarly yet personal, dealing with reflexivity in an accessible yet non-trivial way, this book a" a first in the field, distinctive in terms of what the story is and how it is told a" is a gift to the profession of TESOL teacher education.

Feminist research is informed by a history of breaking silences, of demanding that women's voices be heard, recorded and included in wider intellectual genealogies and histories. This has led to an emphasis on voice and speaking out in the research endeavour. Moments of secrecy and silence are less often addressed. This gives rise to a number of questions. What are the silences, secrets, omissions and and political consequences of such moments? What particular dilemmas and constraints do they represent or entail? What are their implications for research praxis? Are such moments always indicative of voicelessness or powerlessness? Or may they also constitute a productive moment in the research encounter? Contributors to this volume were invited to reflect on these questions. The resulting chapters are a fascinating collection of insights into the research process, making an important contribution to theoretical and empirical debates about epistemology, subjectivity and identity in research. Researchers often face difficult dilemmas about who to represent and how, what to omit and what to include.This book explores such questions in an important and timely collection of essays from international scholars.
In deze reader, nummer 28 van de reeks ‘Praxis Bewegingsopvoeding’, willen we het vakconcept LO in zijn rijkdom illustreren en willen we bijdragen tot een duurzame en actieve levensstijl.

Der richtige Umgang mit Signalen gehört zu den wichtigen Aufgaben in der Sozialarbeit. Im Berufsalltag empfangen Sozialarbeiter Signale aus ganz unterschiedlichen Quellen. Klienten berichten ihnen von Problemen im Stadtteil und Kollegen anderer Einrichtungen von der zunehmenden sozialen Isolation von Senioren im Wohnviertel. In Lokalzeitungen lesen Sozialarbeiter von Einschnitten bei öffentlichen Einrichtungen und sehen sich in der Praxis mit den Konsequenzen konfrontiert. Leider geschieht noch zu wenig mit diesen Signalen. Wenn Einrichtungen kein Verfahren für das Signalisieren und keine verbindlichen Vereinbarungen zum Umgang mit solchen Informationen haben, bleibt das Signalisieren offenbar in den Ansätzen stecken.In Achtung! wird ein Stufenplan vorgestellt, mit dessen Hilfe der Umgang mit Signalen systematisiert werden kann. Die Autoren legen dar, wie Manager und Mitarbeiter von Sozialeinrichtungen Signale aus ihrer Berufspraxis analysieren, interpretieren und austauschen können. Sie gehen auch auf grundsätzliche Fragen wie die folgenden ein: Was ist Signalisieren? Warum ist es wichtig? Welche Fähigkeiten erfordert es? Achtung! richtet sich an Studierende der Sozialarbeit und -pädagogik und an Manager und andere Berufspraktiker im Gesundheits- und Sozialwesen.

Understanding Cities is richly textured, complex and challenging. It creates the vital link between urban design theory and praxis and opens the required methodological gateway to a new and unified field of urban design. For too long urban design has been viewed as a satellite of architecture and urban planning, occupying a 'no man's land' which has prevented its rightful independence. Alexander Cuthbert sets out to challenge this assumption. Using spatial political economy as his most important reference point, Cuthbert both interrogates and challenges mainstream urban design and provides an alternative and viable comprehensive framework for a new synthesis. By implication, this critique ranges across all the environmental disciplines which are undeniably involved in the intellectual debate which this process of reconstruction entails. Building on both his previous books Designing Cities and The Form of Cities, the trilogy allows a new field of urban design to emerge.
