How do definitions of literacy in the academy, and the pedagogies that reinforce such definitions, influence and shape our identities as teachers, scholars, and students? The contributors gathered here reflect on those moments when the dominant cultural and institutional definitions of our identities conflict with our other identities, shaped by class, race, gender, sexual orientation, location, or other cultural factors. These writers explore the struggle, identify the sources of conflict, and discuss how they respond personally to such tensions in their scholarship, teaching, and administration. They also illustrate how writing helps them and their students compose alternative identities that may allow the connection of professional identities with internal desires and senses of self. They emphasize how identity comes into play in education and literacy and how institutional and cultural power is reinforced in the pedagogies and values of the writing classroom and writing profession.

This book starts with the premise that beauty can be an engine of transformation and authentic engagement in an increasingly complex world. It presents an organized picture of highlights from the 13th European Science Education Research Association Conference, ESERA 2019, held in Bologna, Italy. The collection includes contributions that discuss contemporary issues such as climate change, multiculturalism, and the flourishing of new interdisciplinary areas of investigation, including the application of cognitive neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and digital humanities to science education research. It also highlights learners'difficulties engaging with socio-scientific issues in a digital and post-truth era. The volume demonstrates that deepening our understanding is the preferred way to address these challenges and that science education has a key role to play in this effort. In particular, the book advances the argument that the deep and novel character of these challenges requires a collective search for new narratives and languages, an expanding knowledge base and new theoretical perspectives and methods of research. The book provides a contemporary picture of science education research and looks to the theoretical and practical societal challenges of the future.

Universitäre Insignien – das waren im Alten Reich, als die Universitäten noch als Institutionen eigenen Rechts agieren konnten, Herrschafts- und Standeszeichen, die ihrem rechtmäßigen Träger Autorität und Identität verliehen. Zu diesen Insignien gehörten die universitären Siegel ebenso wie Teile der Amtskleidung des Rektors, die Szepter der Fakultäten, die Kassenschlüssel, der Rektorenbecher, die Matrikelbücher und vieles mehr. Verwendet wurden die Insignien u.a. bei der Einführung eines neuen Rektors, bei der Aufnahme neuer Studenten, aber auch wenn es galt, die Disziplin innerhalb der Universität aufrechtzuerhalten. Mit der Durchsetzung des modernen Staates zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden den Hohen Schulen ihre autonomen Rechte genommen, womit gleichzeitig die Insignien ihren Rechtscharakter verlieren mußten. Und doch bewahren die meisten Universitäten – so sie denn wie die Münchner Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität noch über eigene althergebrachte Insignien verfügen – diese mit besonderer Sorgfalt. Um die Geschichte einiger ausgewählter Insignien der LMU und um den Wandel bei ihrer Verwendung geht es im vorliegenden Band.

This book presents a machine-generated review on various works related to pedagogy and space, especially relevant to the context of the Global South, from selected papers published by Springer Nature, then organized with an editor-written introduction to each chapter. It maps conceptual engagements on space across disciplines, synthesizing emerging pedagogies, cultural movements, and spatial politics. By foregrounding spatial questions in pedagogy, it approaches pedagogy as a social and cultural practice, beyond the confines of institutionalized spaces, attempting to blur the boundaries between scholarship and activism. It is a reference point for understanding curriculum designs and developments, sustainable, multicultural, inclusive, and eco-conscious educational practices, and community engagement models in education. It initiates deliberations on various ways in which academicians, practitioners, geographers, cartographers, students, community actors, and activists as a collective can rethink pedagogical practices in distinct ways to make contemporary education inclusive and relevant for the context and time.

In the twenty years since Ray Land and Erik Meyer published their first paper on Threshold Concepts, there has been a steady stream of papers mulling over their original suggestions that learning, far from proceeding in an orderly fashion, is instead a process of struggle – perhaps alienation and confusion – that puts students in a troublesome liminal ‘in-between'state. As their understanding develops, liminality gives way to transformational insight whereby a whole field of study comes, often quite abruptly, into focus. There is a gain but often also a loss: in this new world, old certainties, assumptions and even aspects of our identity can be left by the wayside. Threshold Concepts in the Moment is the sixth collection in the series on the subject of Threshold Concepts, following the 8th Biennial Conference held in 2021, anchored at London's UCL but running online across the world. Its contributors, who range from ‘old hands'to new members of the community finding their feet, mull over the insights of the threshold concepts framework in higher education, scrutinise their own fields of study, explore the implications of liminality for pedagogy and becoming professional practitioners, and consider the broad implications for pedagogy of factoring in the troublesomeness of knowledge and learning.

The book explores how pupils in different types of schools can have their needs met more effectively; how to make better use of available resources; and how to create a culture of mutual respect across all the three services.A Guide to Best Practice in Special Education, Health and Social Care not only fills in gaps in readers'knowledge about the working of all three services, but provides innovative examples of how change is happening at ground level. People of all age groups working in schools and seeking to enhance their knowledge will find it to be an essential read. It will also be of interest to parents and professionals from across health and social care.

The collection of papers in this anthology represents whatmay be a broad exploration of the role of philosophicalinquiry in the classroom and in mathematics teachereducation, a topos characterized by multiple, intersectingthemes, all of which converge on a central question: what isthe role of mathematics in the construction of the realitieswe live by, and could that role be different if we becameaware of its invisible power? In the age of the Anthropocene- an era in which technological intervention plays an evermore central role in the way we build, develop and attemptto maintain our increasingly fragile and risk-prone humanand natural world, what are the implications of thehegemonic epistemic status of mathematics in thoseprocesses? Does mathematics define the conditions ofpossibility of all knowledge, whether expressed in a theoryor silently invested in a practice? Does or can mathematicsand its presumed value-neutrality serve to limit, constrain,suppress, and even preclude other, perhaps more valuableforms of knowledge? Alternatively, can philosophicaldialogue about mathematics serve to clarify, unmask, reframeand recreate our understanding of mathematics and itssymbolic power in the human and material world, and act asan emancipatory form of knowledge in culture and society?What would such dialogues look like in the mathematicsclassroom? The papers in this volume address these questionsin various contexts and registers, and provide prospectiveand in-service teachers with compelling and suggestive waysof responding to them. A must-read for math educatorseverywhere.Nadia Stoyanova Kennedy, Associate Professorof Mathematics Education, City University of New York, USA.Eva Marsal, Professor of Philosophy, University ofEducation, Karlsruhe, Germany & University of Warsaw,Poland.
