The field of education has experienced extraordinary technological, societal, and institutional change in recent years, making it one of the most fascinating yet complex fields of study in social science. Unequalled in its combination of authoritative scholarship and comprehensive coverage, International Encyclopedia of Education, Third Edition succeeds two highly successful previous editions (1985, 1994) in aiming to encapsulate research in this vibrant field for the twenty-first century reader. Under development for five years, this work encompasses over 1,000 articles across 24 individual areas of coverage, and is expected to become the dominant resource in the field. Education is a multidisciplinary and international field drawing on a wide range of social sciences and humanities disciplines, and this new edition comprehensively matches this diversity. The diverse background and multidisciplinary subject coverage of the Editorial Board ensure a balanced and objective academic framework, with 1,500 contributors representing over 100 countries, capturing a complete portrait of this evolving field. A totally new work, revamped with a wholly new editorial board, structure and brand-new list of meta-sections and articles Developed by an international panel of editors and authors drawn from senior academia Web-enhanced with supplementary multimedia audio and video files, hotlinked to relevant references and sources for further study Incorporates ca. 1,350 articles, with timely coverage of such topics as technology and learning, demography and social change, globalization, and adult learning, to name a few Offers two content delivery options - print and online - the latter of which provides anytime, anywhere access for multiple users and superior search functionality via ScienceDirect, as well as multimedia content, including audio and video files

Que l'on soit enseignant, formateur, responsable de formation, chef d'établissement, inspecteur, que l'on exerce son métier à l'école, dans l'enseignement supérieur, en formation continue, on est toujours amené à évaluer, pressé de toutes parts pour rendre des comptes et prouver son efficacité. Nul ne peut donc échapper à l'évaluation. Raison de plus pour la mettre en œuvre de manière rigoureuse. Rien ne serait pire, en effet, que de laisser se développer dans ce domaine des procédures approximatives, des dispositifs dont on ne comprendrait ni le sens ni la portée, des outils dont l'utilisation permettrait toutes les manipulations. C'est pourquoi l'ouvrage publié sous la direction d'André de Peretti est absolument essentiel : c'est un véritable panorama exhaustif et critique des méthodes d'évaluation. Riche de multiples exemples, il permet à son utilisateur de choisir l'outil adapté à chaque situation, pertinent au regard des objectifs poursuivis, de la nature du public ainsi que de la démarche générale qui est mise en place. Chacun y trouvera des instruments et une occasion de réflexion. Chacun pourra réinterroger son métier à la lumière d'une de ses dimensions essentielles : l'évaluation. Il faut donc, dans toutes les situations éducatives, avoir constamment ce livre sous la main. On y puisera, tour à tour, des outils d'autoévaluation pour des élèves, stagiaires, étudiants de tous niveaux, des outils de gestion de la classe, de l'établissement ou d'un plan de formation, des suggestions méthodologiques et des mises en garde essentielles. Mais on peut aussi progresser dans cet ouvrage en le lisant comme un véritable outil de formation en lui-même : des mini-tests, des pauses évaluatives, des mémentos le ponctuent et permettent de faire le point régulièrement sur ses acquisitions. Un livre dont personne ne peut se passer, lorsqu'on a le projet d'y voir clair dans ce que l'on fait et les effets que l'on produit.

France is unique in the world in the degree to which is has tried to integrate technical and vocational training in its schools. Day (history, Simon Fraser U.) examines this reform in France since the late-nineteenth century, within the broader context of educational development and economic modernization. His analysis demonstrates ways in which government and industry have redefined skill requirements, reformed schools and programs, and established new forms of cooperation--work-study, continuing education, apprenticeship programs--to produce a well-educated and well-trained citizenry and workforce. c.

Drawing on theoretical and empirical insights from art teachers in Canada and Europe, this edited volume explores the question of how learning in the arts can be effectively and fairly assessed in the context of higher education. The chapters consider a rich variety of assessment practices across music, visual and plastic arts, performing arts, design, fashion, dance and music and illustrate how knowledge, competencies, skills and progress can be viably and fairly assessed. Contextual challenges to assessment are also considered in depth, and particular attention is paid to the challenges of reconciling teaching in the arts, aimed at an intuitive transformation of the student, and assessing learning that takes on its meaning in subjectivity and sensitivity. This text will benefit researchers, academics and educators in higher education with an interest in assessment in the artistic disciplines and in the topic of creativity more broadly. Those specifically interested in educational assessment policy and the visual arts will also benefit from this book.

The Legal Aspects of Educational Planning and Administration

This work analyzes the relationship between educational planning and the law, and provides the planner or administrator with invaluable tools for the elaboration and implementation of policies and reforms. The author presents the legal aspects of the different elements that make up the school system, and studies them in the context of the types of problems encountered by educational planners today. Several topical themes, such as decentralization and its administrative consequences, are looked at in particular detail. The study deliberately concentrates on countries that belong to the civil law tradition, thus complementing a previous title (n 46) in this collection on the common law countries.
