Economics of Education
by Sarah Turner Michael LovenheimWhile there are many great research articles, good books, and provocative policy analyses related to the economics of education, these materials are often written to influence the policy process and not necessarily for students with limited knowledge of the underlying policies and the economic framework. This textbook is intended to serve as a foundation for a broad-based course on the economics of education. Its goal is to provide an overview of economics of education research: to lay out the evidence as clearly as possible, note agreements, disagreements, and unresolved points in literature, and to help students develop the tools necessary to draw their own conclusions.
Economics of Engineering Education in India: Growing Challenges of Access, Excellence and Equity
by Jandhyala B. TilakThis volume focuses on the expansion of engineering education in the private sector in India and discusses the effects and challenges of this expansion on its economic growth and development. Analysing several dimensions relating to the growth of engineering education, this book: — Scrutinises the imbalances in the growth between different branches of engineering education, changing trends and patterns of quality of education as impacted by changing trends and patterns, gender inequality, caste, region, and labour market conditions that influence the demand for engineering education. — Investigates the socioeconomic characteristics of the students going to private colleges/universities, financing by the government vis-a-vis students’ households, the unsteady growth in public financing of engineering education, and educational loans as a method of financing. — Examines the reasons behind the increasing demand of engineering education, and the factors that have contributed to the rise of electronics engineering, computer science engineering and information-technology-related areas of engineering as against some conventionally popular disciplines of engineering. This volume will be of interest to students, teachers and researchers of education, higher education, engineering education, economics of education, and sociology of education. It will also be useful for policymakers in higher education, engineering/technical education and BRIC countries, administrators, and those interested in the study and growth of engineering education.
Economics of Higher Education
by Robert K. Toutkoushian Michael B PaulsenThis book examines the many ways in which economic concepts, theories and models can be used to examine issues in higher education. The topics explored in the book include how students make college-going decisions, the payoffs to students and society from going to college, markets for higher education services, demand and supply in markets for higher education, why and how state and federal governments intervene in higher education markets, college and university revenues and expenditures, how institutions use net-pricing strategies and non-price product-differentiation strategies to pursue their goals and to compete in higher education markets, as well as issues related to faculty labor markets. The book is written for both economists and non-economists who study higher education issues and provides readers with background information and thorough explanations and illustrations of key economic concepts. In addition to reviewing the contributions economists have made to the study of higher education, it also examines recent research in each of the major topical areas. The book is policy-focused and each chapter analyses how contemporary higher education policies affect the behaviour of students, faculty and/or institutions of higher education. "Toutkoushian and Paulsen attempted a daunting task: to write a book on the economics of higher education for non-economists that is also useful to economists. A book that could be used for reference and as a textbook for higher education classes in economics, finance, and policy. They accomplish this tough balancing act with stunning success in a large volume that will serve as the go-to place for anyone interested in the history and current thinking on the economics of higher education. " William E. Becker, Jr. , Professor Emeritus of Economics, Indiana University

Economization of Education: Human Capital, Global Corporations, Skills-Based Schooling (Sociocultural, Political, and Historical Studies in Education)
by Joel SpringIn this timely, cogent analysis of trends and powerful forces shaping global educational policy today, Joel Spring focuses on how economization is making economic growth and increased productivity the main goals of schools, and the ways these goals are achieved—including measuring educational policies by their costs and economic benefits, shaping family life to ensure productive workers and high-achieving students, introducing entrepreneurship education into curricula from preschool through higher education, and increasing the involvement of economists in educational policy analysis. Close attention is given to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, and multinational corporations, which, as advocates of economization, want schools to focus on teaching hard and soft skills needed by the global labor market. Economization raises questions about the effects of economically driven agendas for schools: Will education policies advocated by global organizations and multinational businesses corporatize and standardize human personalities and families? What type of global worker is being sought by global organizations and multinational corporations? What education programs are supported to educate the ideal global worker? What is the ideal family life for economic growth and development? Detailing and analyzing the politics and motivations driving economization, the book concludes with an assessment of the impacts of the confluence of business interests, economic theories, governments, and educators.

Economy, Work, and Education: Critical Connections (Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies)
by Catherine CaseyEconomy, Work and Education: Critical Connections addresses effects of neoliberal capitalism in particular regard to work and education. The book elaborates key aspects and problems of generalized policy models of knowledge-based economies and learning societies in contexts of liberalized firm action, accelerated competitiveness and labor market flexibility. It discusses limits and paradoxes of higher skilled, knowledge-based economies which include significant disparities in labor market absorption of higher level skills, a deterioration of qualitative conditions of work and a re-subordination of workers. This volume provides a research-intensive crossing of these fields to contribute a closer disciplinary and scholarly dialogue between interested thinkers across fields who too often must labor and converse apart. It offers the vantage point afforded by traversing old boundaries and exploring concerns shared by many scholars and researchers in international circles in pursuit of social and cultural innovation in the governance of work and education and advancing wider social debate

Ecopedagogies: Practical Approaches to Experiential Learning
by Ellen Bayer Judson Byrd FinleyEcopedagogies showcases a range of creative approaches that educators across multiple disciplines use to empower students to access and engage with nature, an increasingly important consideration in a post-COVID world in environmental crisis. The volume includes chapters written by scholars from the environmental arts and humanities, literature, writing studies, rhetoric, music, religious studies, environmental studies and sustainability, sociology and anthropology, physical education, and outdoor education. Each author walks the reader through the details of how their ecopedagogy works, identifies potential challenges while also detailing how to address them, and explains the rewards to students, instructors, and more-than-human nature that they have witnessed through the use of these approaches. The contributions represent diverse types of academic institutions, offering broad applicability to instructors, including community colleges, private liberal arts colleges, and large state, regional, public, and private universities. The book explores a series of key questions about how educators can facilitate meaningful learning experiences with the natural world, inside and outside the classroom, and it looks at how to foster inclusivity, navigate problems with access, and explore intersections with environmental justice. As a practical guide, the book delivers a well-provisioned toolbox containing exercises, activity guides, and assignments for those teaching environmentally focused college courses.
Ecopedagogy and the Global Environmental Citizen: Critical Issues, Trends, Challenges and Possibilities (Critical Global Citizenship Education)
by Greg William MisiaszekThis edited volume collates over a decade of Greg William Misiaszek’s work on ecopedagogy, with a new focus on insights and possibilities for global citizenship education (GCE) scholarship. Rooted in critical theories and originating from Paulo Freire’s popular education models of Latin America, ecopedagogy is centered on understanding the struggles of, and the connections between, human acts of environmental violence, social injustices, and Nature’s unsustainability. The book brings together diverse understandings of ecopedagogy, introduces key concepts of teaching for local-to-planetary citizenship, and explains how both are essential for socio-environmental justice and planetary sustainability. Grouped into three parts, it includes new, detailed introductions, with crucial GCE threads explored throughout the chapters. This includes discussions of how non-critical teaching for (environmentally) sustainable development that opposes critical GCE’s essence instills anti-environmentalism, rather than countering it. As a comprehensive and fresh curation of Misiaszek’s work on timely and critical topics, it will appeal to academic scholars, educational researchers, teachers, and social/environmental movement leaders/participants, among others, who have interests in GCE, environmental sustainability, sustainable development, environmental teaching, and social-environmental justice.

Ecosophy and Educational Research for the Anthropocene: Rethinking Research through Relational Psychoanalytic Approaches (Routledge Research in Education, Society and the Anthropocene)
by Alysha J. FarrellProblematizing the aims of education in the Anthropocene, this text illustrates the value of relational psychoanalytic theory in the study and practice of education amidst the climate crisis. Illustrating how dominant educational theory fails to acknowledge climate precarity and the consequences of living beyond the Earth’s carrying capacity, Ecosophy and Educational Research for the Anthropocene calls for a reorientation of scholarship to decentre the human subject. The author discusses the evolution of intersubjective psychoanalysis to make a case for a turn to relational and psychoanalytically informed educational research. Chapters foreground areas for educational researchers to consider in pursuing intersubjective inquiries into the affective dimensions of curriculum and pedagogy to foster an emergence of eco-attunement and ecosophical educational research (EER). By framing an ecosophical approach, this book enables educational leaders, researchers and educators to fulfil their responsibility to engage in educational praxis which is contextually responsive, relationally attuned and recognizant that we cannot be studied apart from our connections to the planet.
