Book Description
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Der Lehrer / Pädagoge, Note: 1,0, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: PISA, TIMMS und Co., Input-Orientierung, Globalisierung – bescheidene Ergebnisse in internationalen Vergleichsstudien, vage Formulierungen von Richtlinien und Verordnungen sowie Unkenntnis über die Wirksamkeit von Lehrerbildung haben dazu geführt, dass das Lehrerhandeln für Misserfolge hinsichtlich des deutschen Bildungssystems offenbar verstärkt ins Blickfeld gerät – und damit auch die Lehrer(aus)bildung. Seit einiger Zeit wird eifrig in Politik und Wissenschaft diskutiert, wie ein Paradigmenwechsel in der Lehrerbildung – der übrigens von allen Seiten gefordert wird – aussehen kann. Standards und deren Semantik werden „heute wie eine Zauberformel gebraucht [...], denen die Lösung aller Probleme zugetraut wird“, wie es Jürgen Oelkers süffisant formuliert. Hinzu kommt, dass schulisch vermittelte Kompetenzen als entscheidender Produktionsfaktor angesehen werden – für einen reibungslosen Übergang von der Industrie- über die Dienstleistungs- hin zur Wissensgesellschaft. Bildung hat deshalb den Status eines „Megathemas“ im 21. Jahrhundert erlangt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich inhaltlich mit dem Thema „Standards für die Lehrerbildung“ – einem Element im Reformprozess der Lehrerbildung. Dabei soll der gegenwärtige Entwicklungsstand gemäß einer deskriptiven Vorgehensweise nachvollzogen werden. Im Dezember 2004 hat die KMK6 erste Standards für die Lehrerbildung im Bereich der „Bildungswissenschaften“ verabschiedet, die seit dem Ausbildungsjahr 2005/2006 verbindlich gelten. In einem weiteren Abschnitt sollen einige Stellungnahmen von Verbänden und Gremien hinzugezogen werden, mit deren Argumente ich die Standards inhaltlich und substanziell bewerten möchte. Am Ende sollen mögliche Entwicklungslinien sowie ein persönliches Fazit die Arbeit abrunden. Eines wird in der gesamten Diskussion deutlich: Standards leisten nur die Vorarbeit. Darauf aufbauende Evaluationen verfolgen in einem nächsten Schritt das eigentliche Ziel in der Debatte: die Lehrerbildung transparent zu machen und die in der Vergangenheit immer wieder geäußerten, teils polemischen Vorwürfe verschiedenster gesellschaftlicher Gruppen zu versachlichen. In der Arbeit möchte ich einzelne Standards exemplarisch aufführen und gegenüber bisher vermitteltem Wissen in den Ausbildungsphasen abgrenzen. Ziel soll nicht sein, die Standards für die Bildungswissenschaften Schritt für Schritt abzuarbeiten.

Book Description
Since its foundation, the Council of Europe has established a common legal system for European states, based on democracy, the rule of law and human rights. Its standard-setting texts have helped its members meet the challenges of changing societies and now apply all over Europe given the organisation¿s unprecedented geographical enlargement since 1989. In this connection, the Council of Europe has played a key role in the accession of the new member states to the European Union. The first section of the book deals with the "constitutional" law of the Council of Europe, or its internal statutes in the broad sense. It covers the 1949 Statute, which, along with related texts, lays down the Council¿s aims and determines its membership and operating methods. The second section concerns the role played by the Council of Europe - which has always been very active in standard-setting - in the harmonisation of European states¿ domestic law. The third section situates Council of Europe law in the European context. For instance, it studies the extent to which Council of Europe conventions have been incorporated in domestic law and how Council of Europe law and European Union law co-exist.

Book Description
This book seeks to investigate how the pedagogic space of schools and classrooms has been defined by the UK government’s counter-terrorism ‘Prevent’ strategy, most notably through the requirement on teachers not to undermine ‘fundamental British values’ as part of the Teachers Professional Standards. The term ‘fundamental British values’ migrated from Prevent to the statutory framework that regulates teacher professionalism and has effectively securitized education practice. The Prevent strategy was conceived in response to the 7/7 bombings in London by so-called ‘home-grown’ Muslim terrorists. The need for teachers to promote British values is an attempt to forge a cohesive British identity among young citizens within a multiracial, multicultural and multilingual society. However, as the chapters in this book illustrate, the state project to harness education to engender belonging – or as some would argue, civic nationalism – whilst simultaneously undertaking surveillance of children and young people from the Muslim community for signs of radicalization, has led to the perception of a hierarchy of citizens or, conversely, ‘insider-outsider’ citizens. The imperative to promote, and not undermine, fundamental British values has, in some instances, transformed the safe space of the classroom where children and young people’s right to explore their perceptions of current affairs, citizenship and belonging has been curtailed for fear of surveillance by teachers who may interpret their utterances as either undermining British values or to be signs of radicalization. This book explores these dilemmas for teachers and the implications for their professionalism, and examines how racist nativism has pervaded society, educational policy and practice through the promotion of a Britishness perceived by many as a raced, classed and exclusionary discourse. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Education for Teaching.

Book Description
One of the most influential anthropological works of the last two decades, Alfred Gell's Art and Agency is a provocative and ambitious work that both challenged and reshaped anthropological understandings of art, agency, creativity and the social. It has become a touchstone in contemporary artifact-based scholarship. This volume brings together leading anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians and other scholars into an interdisciplinary dialogue with Art and Agency, generating a timely re-engagement with the themes, issues and arguments at the heart of Gell's work, which remains salient, and controversial, in the social sciences and humanities. Extending his theory into new territory – from music to literary technology and ontology to technological change – the contributors do not simply take stock, but also provoke, critically reassessing this important work while using it to challenge conceptual and disciplinary boundaries.

Book Description
Against the backdrop of international conventions and their implementation, Cultural Property and Contested Ownership explores how highly-valued cultural goods are traded and negotiated among diverging parties and their interests. Cultural artefacts, such as those kept and trafficked between art dealers, private collectors and museums, have become increasingly localized in a ‘Bermuda triangle’ of colonialism, looting and the black market, with their re-emergence resulting in disputes of ownership and claims for return. This interdisciplinary volume provides the first book-length investigation of the changing behaviours resulting from the effect of the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. The collection considers the impact of the Convention on the way antiquity dealers, museums and auction houses, as well as nation states and local communities, address issues of provenance, contested ownership, and the trafficking of cultural property. The book contains a range of contributions from anthropologists, lawyers, historians and archaeologists. Individual cases are examined from a bottom-up perspective and assessed from the viewpoint of international law in the Epilogue. Each section is contextualised by an introductory chapter from the editors.

Book Description
Urban and Regional Planning Series, Volume 5: A Reader in Planning Theory focuses on the approaches, methodologies, applications, and mechanics involved in planning theory. The selection first elaborates on a choice theory of planning, sociological considerations in the evaluation of planning, and British town planning. Discussions focus on social scientific research and town planning ideology, town planning as part of broader social policy, critics of traditional planning, value formulation, means identification, and effectuation. The text then examines comprehensive planning and social responsibility and building the middle-range bridge for comprehensive planning. The publication takes a look at the science of "muddling through", beyond the middle-range planning bridge, and goals of comprehensive planning. Topics include comprehensiveness and public interest, community development programming, non-comprehensive analysis, relations between means and ends, and successive comparisons as a system. The book also ponders on community decision behavior, a conceptual model for the analysis of planning behavior, and advocacy and pluralism in planning. The selection is a dependable reference for researchers interested in planning theory.

Book Description
The eminent China scholar delivers a landmark study of Chinese culture’s relationship to the natural environment across thousands of years of history. Spanning the three millennia for which there are written records, The Retreat of the Elephants is the first comprehensive environmental history of China. It is also a treasure trove of literary, political, aesthetic, scientific, and religious sources, which allow the reader direct access to the views and feelings of Chinese people toward their environment and their landscape. China scholar and historian Mark Elvin chronicles the spread of the Chinese style of farming that eliminated elephant habitats; the destruction of most of the forests; the impacts of war on the landscape; and the re-engineering of the countryside through gigantic water-control systems. He documents the histories of three contrasting localities within China to show how ecological dynamics defined the lives of the inhabitants. And he shows that China in the eighteenth century was probably more environmentally degraded than northwestern Europe around this time. Indispensable for its new perspective on long-term Chinese history and its explanation of the roots of China’s present-day environmental crisis, this book opens a door into the Chinese past.

Book Description
Oscillating between depiction and description, Object of A Life addresses Georges Perec's question: How are we to speak of common things? Making an inventory of things that come to hand in the course of daily life, playing with ideas of contradiction, categorisation, improbability and speculation, this book offers an articulation of the space produced between language and drawing.
