Teaching Geography 11-18: A Conceptual Approach - David Lambert - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

"This is a must read for all 11-18 geography educators. It argues for a new geography curriculum founded on a set of major concepts that are profoundly relevant to 21st century life. For years, books on 11-18 geography education have focussed on classroom techniques, new pedagogic technologies and alternative modes of student assessment. Not this one. ''Teaching Geography 11-18'' digs deep. It asks not only what geography is for, but bases its answer on a set of key concepts able to sustain an exciting and relevant curriculum. It also grounds its many arguments in the latest geographical research, thus re-establishing the broken connection between geography teaching in schools and that in higher education". Professor Noel Castree, University of Manchester, UK This engaging and stimulating book aims to radically re-shape and sharpen debates in geography education by taking an entirely fresh approach to both the subject and its place in secondary education.Key questions addressed in this book include: - - What is the place of geography within the secondary school curriculum? - - To what extent does school geography reflect and engage with contemporary issues and theories from the wider subject? - - What are the issues, challenges and opportunities of a concept-led approach to teaching geography? - - What are the implications of ICT, media and technology for the future of geography teaching in schools? Influenced by the revised national curriculum for geography which has reduced the prescribed content to be covered, this book offers an objective view of the concept-led approach. The new focus on concepts represents a significant shift in how geography is to be taught in schools, yet there has been little extended discussion of what a ''concept-led'' approach to teaching and learning would entail. This book fills that void by examining geography''s key concepts, and providing teachers with a theoretically robust and practical approach to curriculum planning using a concept-led approach. This is essential reading for all secondary geography teachers, trainee teachers and anyone involved with education and curriculum planning.

In Understanding Prisons he uses his impressive expertise to guide researchersthrough the changing world of the English prison.

Hehas written a comprehensive account of the use of imprisonment and thecharacter of prisons. He persuasively argues that our continued, extensiveuse of imprisonment cannot simply be explained or justified by the incidenceof crime and could otherwise. His book merits close attention.” Rod Morgan, Chairman, Youth Justice Board There are over nine million men, women and children in prison around the world, and the number of people in prison in England and Wales has increased significantly in recent years. Yet in many respects prison remains the last secretive public institution in our society.

Quality in the Early Years - Emma Slaughter - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

The term ‘quality’ is frequently used in early years practice - both in professional discussions and in key policy and literature - but often without question or an agreed understanding of what quality is and as though it is an entirely unproblematic concept. Through a series of inspiring and thought-provoking chapters this book supports you in considering and developing your own notion of ‘ quality early years practice ’ across a broad range of key strands of early years provision – from the environment to policies, from work with vulnerable children and babies to curriculum and research. This book helps you to construct your own idea of quality and challenges you to develop your own understanding through stimulating discussion and reflection points. A key argument is that whilst there are several ‘indicators’ and ‘measures’ of quality there is no one universally agreed definition of ‘quality’ in early years provision and hence developing your own notion of quality and working towards that with others is paramount. Key features include: • Consideration of what ‘quality’ looks like within a contemporary early years landscape • How you might deliver quality practice when other influences might appear to hinder or contradict this • Reflection points to help you embed and link your learning to practice • A graduated approach for a greater depth of engagement with the topic and relevant literature. With each chapter written by an early years expert Quality in the Early Years is a vital companion for those studying towards any early years qualification, as well as established practitioners and leaders within the field.

MAKING SENSE OF SOCIAL MOVEMENTS - Nick Crossley - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

"...effectively demonstrates the enduring importance of ''classical'' social movement theory...and provides a cutting edge critical review of recent theoretical developments. This is one of the most important general theoretical texts on social movements for some years." - Paul Bagguley, University of Leeds - - Why and how do social movements emerge? - In which ways are social movements analysed? - - Can our understanding be enhanced by new perspectives? Making Sense of Social Movements offers a clear and comprehensive overview of the key sociological approaches to the study of social movements. The author argues that each of these approaches makes an important contribution to our understanding of social movements but that none is adequate on its own. In response he argues for a new approach which draws together key insights within the solid foundations of Pierre Bourdieu''s social theory of practice. This new approach transcends the barriers which still often divide European and North American perspectives of social movements, and also those which divide recent approaches from the older ''collective behaviour'' approach. The result is a theoretical framework which is uniquely equipped for the demands of modern social movement analysis. The clear and concise style of the text, as well as its neat summaries of key concepts and approaches, will make this book invaluable for undergraduate courses. It will also be an essential reference for researchers.
