Time and the Rhythms of Emancipatory Education argues that by rethinking the way we relate to time, we can fundamentally rethink the way we conceive education. Beyond the contemporary rhetoric of acceleration, speed, urgency or slowness, this book provides an epistemological, historical and theoretical framework that will serve as a comprehensive resource for critical reflection on the relationship between the experience of time and emancipatory education. Drawing upon time and rhythm studies, complexity theories and educational research, Alhadeff-Jones reflects upon the temporal and rhythmic dimensions of education in order to (re)theorize and address current societal and educational challenges. The book is divided into three parts. The first begins by discussing the specificities inherent to the study of time in educational sciences. The second contextualizes the evolution of temporal constraints that determine the ways education is institutionalized, organized, and experienced. The third and final part questions the meanings of emancipatory education in a context of temporal alienation. This is the first book to provide a broad overview of European and North-American theories that inform both the ideas of time and rhythm in educational sciences, from school instruction, curriculum design and arts education, to vocational training, lifelong learning and educational policies. It will be of key interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of philosophy of education, sociology of education, history of education, psychology, curriculum and learning theory, and adult education.

Inventing isn’t easy! After identifying and presenting the 12 "valleys of death", the real obstacles limiting the transition from an original idea to an innovative one, including the notion of socially responsible research, Knowledge Production Modes between Science and Applications 2 applies the concepts introduced in Volume 1. The book starts off with 3D printing, which has essentially broken through all barriers by offering remarkable advantages over existing mechanical technology. The situation is different for 4D printing and bio-printing. First of all, we need to tackle the complexity inherent in these processes, and move away from disciplinarity to find robust, applicable solutions, despite the obstacles. This is possible in niche areas, but currently, low profitability still limits their general applicability and the willingness of researchers to embrace interdisciplinary convergence....

The controversies that have developed in recent years in the field of education and training around program and competency-based approaches are not without reminiscent of those which are at the origin of a reflection on the question of methods to monitor, control, organize and shape innovation in science and technology "and led to the emergence of the notion of responsibility for innovation and research "(Pellé & Reber, 2015). This book is clearly part of this type of approach. Starting from a current state of play on the issues and controversies raised by curricular and competency-based approaches (Chapters 1 and 2), this book aims at presenting new theoretical frameworks, allowing to account for the processes implied by the implementation of these pedagogical innovations and, in particular, those which, at the very heart of the skills mobilized, promote a "responsibility" dimension. Based on a developmental approach to individual and collective competencies and their evaluation (Chapters 3, 4 and 5), it attempts to show how this approach can mobilize educational practices on strong societal issues, such as "sustainable development "(Chapter 5). Lastly, it aims to provide theoretical and practical benchmarks to help engage educational teams and institutions in these innovative and responsible approaches by providing a coherent framework for doing so (Chapters 6, 7 and 8).

Les sciences de l'éducation, un enjeu, un défi

Les sciences de l'éducation sont une discipline universitaire qui, sous sa forme moderne, s'est organisée il y a un peu plus de 25 ans. Depuis, elles sont l'objet d'un débat permanent, tant dans l'université que dans les médias. Cette discipline a-t-elle une cohérence épistémologique ? Est-elle socialement pertinente ? Peut-on produire sur l'éducation des savoirs à la fois rigoureux et utiles ? Les enjeux de ce débat sont autant identitaires que politiques. Eduquer, former, est-ce une mission qui ne requiert que la maîtrise des savoirs et la claire vision des valeurs fondamentales, ou est-ce aussi un métier spécifique qui s'apprend ? On a beaucoup parlé des sciences de l'éducation depuis 25 ans mais sans toujours bien les connaître. Les sciences de l'éducation, un enjeu, un défi décrit et analyse ce que sont et font les sciences de l'éducation, notamment dans les universités : quelles recherches produisent-elles ? Qui enseigne quoi, à qui, où, pourquoi ? Pour autant, le livre n'oublie pas les ambitions et n'esquive pas les critiques : que disent d'elles-mêmes les sciences de l'éducation ? Que leur reproche-t-on parfois ? Le présent ouvrage s'articule autour du rapport commandé par la Direction générale de l'Enseignement supérieur à Bernard Charlot, intitulé Les sciences de l'éducation : état des lieux et perspectives de développement. Ce rapport est, ici, enrichi par quatre textes supplémentaires. Bernard Charlot situe la discipline dans l'histoire contemporaine, dans le champ des sciences de l'homme et dans la tension entre savoirs et pratiques. Jacqueline Gautherin analyse les enjeux de la première naissance des sciences de l'éducation au début du siècle. Jacques Hédoux traite la question de la professionnalisation par les sciences de l'éducation. Albert Tuijnman interroge la recherche-développement en sciences de l'éducation dans une perspective internationale. Ce livre constitue un apport décisif dans le débat actuel. Il fournit toutes les informations permettant de se faire une opinion claire sur une question où les prises de position partiales et les polémiques stériles l'emportent souvent sur l'examen serein de la situation. Il s'agit ainsi d'un document essentiel pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent aux questions d'éducation et, plus particulièrement, pour les enseignants, les étudiants ainsi que tous les responsables d'institutions et d'associations éducatives.
