Teacher Education in Taiwan State control vs marketization

Teacher Education in Taiwan State control vs marketization

Since the Teacher Education Act was in place in 1994 student teachers were educated through diverse educational institutions instead of the traditional normal schools (Taiwan’s equivalent of teachers’ colleges). But such market-based teacher education has been altered by politics society and culture in the direction of government-controlled teacher education particularly in the quality evaluation of teacher education. Taiwan maintains teacher education quality by controlling the number of teachers using teacher assessment to eliminate teachers who are not up to standard evaluating teacher education institutions evaluating professional development of teachers to raise elementary and secondary teacher quality. This book uses Taiwan as a case study to analyze the transformation of teacher education in a country which goes through political economic and societal transitions along the axis of state regulation vs marketization. It analyzes the uniqueness of Taiwanese teacher education for international reference and draws implications for teacher education policies in the context of education reform. The Formation of Two Approaches to Teacher Education Teacher Education Policy and Policy Direction in Taiwan The Ideology Implications Applications of Teacher Profession Standards The Teacher Education Strategic Alliances in Taiwan This book will interest policy makers researchers and students in the field of education especially in teacher education and comparative education. | Teacher Education in Taiwan State control vs marketization

Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society

Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society

In Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation: Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society Steve Myers unravels the century-long misinterpretation of Jung’s seminal text Psychological Types to show how Jung’s thinking offers solutions to the conflicts that have torn apart our societies. By challenging the popular interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and similar instruments Myers argues that we have not only missed Jung’s main proposition but our contemporary interpretation runs counter to it. Myers aims to rediscover the overlooked argument of Jung’s Psychological Types and make it of practical relevance to contemporary issues. He intends to refocus rather than discard Myers-Briggs typology showing that there are further stages of development after becoming a type and that typological principles have a much broader application. Raising queries about the way typology is used in contemporary society Myers uses literary examples such as Romeo and Juliet and Carl Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus to show how one-sidedness leads to conflict and to illustrate Jung’s solution to the problem of opposites. He also applies this to real-life political crises by examining the decision-making of key political figures such as Nelson Mandela Robert Mugabe and those involved in Brexit or the Northern Ireland peace process. The latter part of the book relates Jung’s process of typological development to his later writings on alchemy notably the axiom of Maria to show how they all have a common goal the transformation of attitude. The book concludes by analysing the implications of the divergence of Myers-Briggs typology and Jungian individuation for the communities who use those ideas. This book puts Jungian individuation back at the forefront of debate and will be essential reading for intermediate and advanced users of Myers-Briggs typology. Due to its political relevance it will also be of interest to Jungian analysts and their clients and to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas and political science. | Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society

The Individual Vs. The Public Interest Political Ideology And National Forest Policy

The Individual Vs. The Public Interest Political Ideology And National Forest Policy

Central to the controversy surrounding U. S. natural resources policy is the conflict between environmentalists and proponents of development. Examining the evolution of the philosophies underlying that conflict Dr. Alston traces the failure to achieve a unified resources policy to the seemingly incompatible ideological positions held by resource specialists interest groups policymakers econo mists and foresters. His analysis goes beyond his case study of na ional forest policy to focus on an ancient question basic to policy making in a democratic society: How can government provide a sociopolitical framework that accomodates both individual interests and the need for unity in a collective existence? Only within this broader framework he argues is it possible to determine the proper division between private and public resource management or the proper role of government in natural resources planning. Incorporating a critical evaluation of the development of classical and neoclassical economic theory this work makes clear the need to strike a balance between a strictly individualistic and an ecological point of view. Dr. Alston illustrates the ideological conflicts that complicate resources planning and explores the possibility of a new ideology capable of accomodating and inte grating differences to meet the complex needs of society. | The Individual Vs.

Archaeology of a Brothel in Nineteenth-Century Boston MA Erotic Facades

Archaeology of a Brothel in Nineteenth-Century Boston MA Erotic Facades

Archaeology of a Brothel in Nineteenth-Century Boston MA provides an accessible and thought-provoking account of the archaeological understanding of nineteenth-century prostitution in Boston Massachusetts. The book explores how the practice of nineteenth-century sex work involved a careful construction of fantasy for brothel customers. This fantasy had the potential to provide financial stability and security for the madam of the establishment if not for the women working for them. Employing theories of embodiment sexuality and an archaeology of the senses this study of the Endicott Street collection contributes a new methodological and theoretical framework for studying the archaeology of prostitution across time space and culture. The material culture recovered from brothel sites allows exploration of both the semi-private behind the scenes narrative of sex work as well as the semi-public eroticised performance space where patrons were entertained. Few books on the archaeology of sex work exist and this volume will both provide an updated perspective on the history of sex work in Boston in the nineteenth century as well as tie advances in gender and embodiment theories to a compelling case study. The book is for students and scholars of historical archaeology nineteenth-century urban America and gender studies. Students studying feminist theory and archaeology of the senses will also be interested in the contents. | Archaeology of a Brothel in Nineteenth-Century Boston MA Erotic Facades

Review of the First Edition: The authors strive to reduce theory to a minimum which makes it a self-learning text that is comprehensible for biologists physicians etc. who lack an advanced mathematics background. Unlike in many other textbooks R is not introduced with meaningless toy examples; instead the reader is taken by the hand and shown around some analyses graphics and simulations directly relating to meta-analysis… A useful hands-on guide for practitioners who want to familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of meta-analysis and get started without having to plough through theorems and proofs. —Journal of Applied Statistics Statistical Meta-Analysis with R and Stata Second Edition provides a thorough presentation of statistical meta-analyses (MA) with step-by-step implementations using R/Stata. The authors develop analysis step by step using appropriate R/Stata functions which enables readers to gain an understanding of meta-analysis methods and R/Stata implementation so that they can use these two popular software packages to analyze their own meta-data. Each chapter gives examples of real studies compiled from the literature. After presenting the data and necessary background for understanding the applications various methods for analyzing meta-data are introduced. The authors then develop analysis code using the appropriate R/Stata packages and functions. What’s New in the Second Edition: Adds Stata programs along with the R programs for meta-analysis Updates all the statistical meta-analyses with R/Stata programs Covers fixed-effects and random-effects MA meta-regression MA with rare-event and MA-IPD vs MA-SS Adds five new chapters on multivariate MA publication bias missing data in MA MA in evaluating diagnostic accuracy and network MA Suitable as a graduate-level text for a meta-data analysis course the book is also a valuable reference for practitioners and biostatisticians (even those with little or no experience in using R or Stata) in public health medical research governmental agencies and the pharmaceutical industry. | Applied Meta-Analysis with R and Stata

The Evolution of English Language Learners in Japan Crossing Japan the West and South East Asia

The Evolution of English Language Learners in Japan Crossing Japan the West and South East Asia

This book seeks a better understanding of the sociocultural and ideological factors that influence English study in Japan and study-abroad contexts such as university-bound high schools female-dominant English classes at college ESL schools in Canada and private or university-affiliated ESL programs in Singapore and Malaysia. The discussion is based not only on data garnered from Japanese EFL learners and Japanese/overseas educators but also on official English language policies and commercial magazine discourses about English study for Japanese people. The book addresses seemingly incompatible themes that are either entrenched in or beyond Japan’s EFL context such as: Japan’s decades-long poorly-performing English education vs. its equally long-lived status as an economic power; Japanese English learners’ preference for native English speakers/norms in at-home Japanese EFL contexts vs. their friendship with other Asian students in western study-abroad contexts; Japanese female students’ dream of using English to further their careers vs. Japanese working women’s English study for self-enrichment; Japanese society’s obsession with globalization through English study vs. the Japanese economy sustained by monolingual Japanese businessmen; Japanese business magazines’ frequent cover issues on global business English study vs. Japanese working women’s magazines’ less frequent and markedly feminized discourses about English study. | The Evolution of English Language Learners in Japan Crossing Japan the West and South East Asia

Agritourism Wine Tourism and Craft Beer Tourism Local Responses to Peripherality Through Tourism Niches

This book delves into the development opportunities for peripheral areas explored through the emerging practices of agritourism wine tourism and craft beer tourism. It celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit of people living in peri-urban regions. Peripheral areas tend to be far from urban hubs providing essential services but also typically suffering from marginalisation and remoteness despite the access to environmental cultural and social resources. In this sense this book investigates the linkages between local agency and tourism in peripheral areas the role of existing policies and the evolving bottom-up practices in fostering local development. The basic aim is to disestablish the dichotomies that often emerge when dealing with issues of rural–urban and/or centre–periphery relationships; innovation vs tradition; authenticity vs mise en scène; agency vs inertia; and social cultural economic mobility vs immobility; etc. With focused attention on the possible compliance or conflicting strategies of local actors with the existing policies the book considers how local actors and communities respond to the implications of peripherality in areas often impacted by marginalising processes. Drawing upon case studies from North America and Europe this book presents this connection as a global phenomenon which will be of interest to community and economic development planners and entrepreneurs. | Agritourism Wine Tourism and Craft Beer Tourism Local Responses to Peripherality Through Tourism Niches

The Organization of Transport A History of Users Industry and Public Policy

Over the past ten years the study of mobility has demonstrated groundbreaking approaches and new research patterns. These investigations criticize the concept of mobility itself suggesting the need to merge transport and communication research and to approach the topic with novel instruments and new methodologies. Following the debates on the role of users in shaping transport technology new mobility research includes debates from sociology planning economy geography history and anthropology. This edited volume examines how users policy-makers and industrial managers have organized and continue to organize mobility with a particularly attention to Europe North America and Asia. Taking a long-term and comparative perspective the volume brings together thirteen chapters from the fields of urban studies history cultural studies and geography. Covering a variety of countries and regions these chapters investigate how various actors have shaped transport systems creating models of mobility that differ along a number of dimensions including public vs. private ownership and operation as well as individual vs. collective forms of transportation. The contributions also examine the extent to which initial models have created path dependencies in terms of technology physical infrastructure urban development and cultural and behavioral preferences that limit subsequent choices. | The Organization of Transport A History of Users Industry and Public Policy
