Educational policies in Turkey and its reflection
Frankfurt am Main , Lang , 2016 , 204 Seiten
Schlagworte: Türkei, Bildungssystem, Bildungspolitik, Bildungsfinanzierung, Bildungsförderung, Schule, Hochschulbildung, Lehrerbildung, Weiterbildung, Außerschulische Bildung, Soziale Ungleichheit, Aufsatzsammlung Education is a major political issue and a major focus of country attention. The fact that the development and knowledge brought forth by an information society is constantly being questioned has made development and innovation in education inevitable. Education is also seen as a crucial factor in ensuring economic productivity and social development. This book examines the educational policies and results in Turkey. It states that basic problems of the Turkish education system are inequality, quality and a lack of planning. Centralized structure affects autonomy negatively in schools. The problem with education policies of the Ministry of National Education is also the lack of vision. This volume develops needed paradigms to balance the opinions of the decision makers, administrators and teachers with the preferences of the student body in Turkey. (Verlag)

Global networks, local actions
rethinking adult education policy in the 21st century
London [u.a.] , Routledge , 2018 , 253 Seiten
Schlagworte: Erwachsenenbildung, Bildungspolitik, Globalisierung, Netzwerk, Internationale Erwachsenenbildung, Internationaler Vergleich, Internationalisierung, Bildungssoziologie, Vereinigte Staaten, Italien, Argentinien, Brasilien Global Networks, Local Actions: Rethinking adult education policy in the 21st century examines public policy developments in adult education, exploring the policy framing of adult education practice in a range of socio-cultural contexts, and contributing to the development of policy research from global and comparative perspectives. Drawing from multidisciplinary fields such as adult education, comparative and international education, and sociology, chapters analyse empirically grounded studies from the US, Italy, Argentina and Brazil. Each study helps to identify how political agents interact at international, regional, national and local scales, and what the implications are for publically-funded interventions in adult education. While this book recognises the complexity of adult education policy, it argues for the need to deconstruct the false belief that what is global in adult education may be intrinsically distinct from the characteristics of geographical or social territories in which adult education occurs. Instead, it points to localised norms and ideas on Adult Basic and Secondary Education as ultimately contained in, and constituting, what is at times perceived as global, or abstracted from definite geographical or social territories. This book calls for a global sociology of adult education in response to global challenges, and makes an important contribution to our understanding of developments in public adult education policy. As such, it will be of key interest to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of adult education, comparative and international education, education policy and politics, sociology of education, and global studies.

Transformative education in contemporary Ireland
leadership, justice, service
Oxford [u.a.] , Lang , 2018
Schlagworte: Irland, Bildungssystem, Bildungsforschung, Wirtschaft, Bildungspolitik, Gesellschaft, Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, Weiterbildung, Bildungsideal, Bildungsinteresse, Religion, Kultur, Sozialer Wandel, Aufsatzsammlung Contemporary Ireland is undergoing a radical shift in its sense of national identity, as the traditional narratives that shaped its past have come under intense scrutiny. The essays gathered here investigate the impact of different forms of education on Irish culture, society, politics, religion and economic success. While education for the knowledge economy has been prioritized across funding agendas, this book focuses on exploring education as a transformative enterprise that supports the personal and intellectual development of the learner. The volume brings together diverse perspectives on the role of education in the areas of leadership, social justice and service in the community. Challenging the current prioritization of a vision of education that primarily serves the interests of the economy, the contributors explore the social, political and personal value of transformative education.

University adult education in England and the USA
a reappraisal of the liberal tradition
London [u.a.] , Routledge , 2019 , 247 Seiten
Schlagworte: Erwachsenenbildung, Universitäre Weiterbildung, Hochschulbildung, Hochschuldidaktik, Liberalismus, Bildungsgeschichte, Bildungsideal, Vereinigte Staaten, Großbritannien, Internationaler Vergleich Originally published in 1985 this book is a critique and comparison of the nature, structure and provision of university adult education in England and the USA. The focus is both contemporary (twentieth century) and historical and is interdisciplinary, involving both social scientific and historical modes of enquiry and analysis. A central concern of the book is the liberal tradition as it has operated in its different ways and the erosion of this tradition and its consequences for the contemporary structure of university adult education form a large part of the book's discussion.
