Essays on Pedagogy
by Robin AlexanderSeven authoritative contributions to the emerging field of pedagogy and to comparative, cultural and policy studies in education. A must for those who want to do more than merely comply with received versions of ‘best practice’. Pedagogy is at last gaining the attention in English-speaking countries which it has long enjoyed elsewhere. But is it the right kind of attention? Do we still tend to equate pedagogy with teaching technique and little more? Now that governments, too, have become interested in it, is pedagogy a proper matter for public policy and official prescription? In Essays on Pedagogy, Robin Alexander brings together some of his most powerful recent writing, drawing on research undertaken in Britain and other countries, to illustrate his view that to engage properly with pedagogy we need to apply cultural, historical and international perspectives, as well as evidence on how children most effectively learn and teachers most productively teach. The book includes chapters on a number of themes, expertly woven together: the politicisation of school and classroom life and the trend towards a pedagogy of compliance; the benefits and hazards of international comparison; pedagogical dichotomies old and new, and how to avoid them; how education and pedagogy might respond to a world in peril; the rare and special chemistry of the personal and the professional which produces outstanding teaching; the scope and character of pedagogy itself, as a field of enquiry and action. For those who see teachers as thinking professionals, rather than as technicians who merely comply with received views of ‘best practice’, this book will open minds while maintaining a practical focus. For student teachers it will provide a framework for their development. Its strong and consistent international perspective will be of interest to educational comparativists, but is also an essential response to globalisation and the predicaments now facing humanity as a whole.

Desenvolvido por Greg McKeown, especialista em liderança e estratégia, o Essencialismo é a solução para controlar todas as suas escolhas, identificar as tarefas verdadeiramente importantes na sua vida e fazer menos, mas melhor. Em Essencialismo, Greg McKeown usa a experiência que obteve e as ideias que criou a partir da colaboração com os líderes de algumas das empresas mais inovadoras no mundo (Facebook, Google, Apple, Twitter, LinkedIn) para mostrar como é possível fazer sempre, e apenas, as coisas certas, tornando-se mais produtivo e bem-sucedido no trabalho, e ganhando tempo para a sua vida pessoal. Seguindo os conselhos simples e práticos deste livro conseguirá simplificar a sua vida, o seu pensamento e os seus objetivos, aprendendo a rejeitar as tarefas que são supérfluas e apenas o distraem do essencial. No fim, voltará a decidir por si as suas prioridades e eliminará os principais obstáculos para o êxito, tanto no trabalho como em casa. «Também sente aquela pressão implacável para experimentar todas as coisas boas da vida? Fazer todas as coisas “certas”? A realidade mostra-nos que esse não é o caminho para chegarmos aonde queremos, podendo levar-nos a investir em tantas áreas que os nossos esforços deixam de ter qualquer impacto. Greg McKeown acredita que a solução está em reduzir a vida à sua essência. Com este livro, ele irá ajudá-lo a encontrar o significado do que é essencial para a sua vida.» Daniel H. Pink, autor de Drive, Vender é Humano e A Nova Inteligência «Em Essencialismo, Greg McKeown prova, de forma sustentada, a utilidade de alcançar mais fazendo menos. Neste livro, lembra-nos que um foco claro e a capacidade de dizer “não” são fatores tão críticos quanto desvalorizados no mundo dos negócios, hoje em dia.» Jeff Weiner, ex-CEO do LinkedIn «Este livro tem a chave para a solução de um dos maiores problemas da vida: Como podemos fazer menos e ao mesmo tempo alcançar melhores resultados? Essencialismo é uma leitura intemporal e fundamental para qualquer pessoa que se sinta sobrecarregada, subaproveitada e excessivamente empenhada no trabalho — por outras palavras, para todos. Mudou a forma como penso sobre as minhas prioridades, e se mais líderes adotassem esta filosofia os nossos trabalhos e vidas seriam menos stressantes e mais produtivos. Por isso, deixe o que está a fazer e leia este livro.» Adam Grant, professor na Wharton School e autor dos bestsellers Dar e Receber, Originais e Pensar Melhor «Essencialismo é o antídoto poderoso para a loucura que se espalha atualmente, como uma praga, pelas nossas organizações e as nossas vidas. Leia as palavras de Greg McKeown com calma, pare e pense como deverá aplicar essas ideias à sua vida — depois, será capaz de fazer menos e melhor, e começará a sentir a insanidade a desaparecer.» Robert L. Sutton, professor na Universidade de Stanford

Essential Competencies for English-medium University Teaching
by Carmen Sancho Guinda Ruth BreezeAs English gains prominence as the language of higher education across the world, many institutions and lecturers are becoming increasingly concerned with the implications of this trend for the quality of university teaching and learning. With an innovative approach in both theme and scope, this book addresses four major competencies that are essential to ensure the effectiveness of English-medium higher education: creativity, critical thinking, autonomy and motivation. It offers an integrated perspective, both theoretical and practical, which defines these competences from different angles within ELT and Applied Linguistics, while also exploring their points of contact and applications to classroom routines. This approach is intended to provide practical guidance and inspiration, in the form of pedagogical proposals, examples of teaching practice and cutting-edge research by scholars and university teachers from all over the world. To that end, a leading specialist in the field introduces each of the four competencies, explaining concepts accessibly and synthetically, exposing false myths, presenting an updated state of the art, and opening windows for future studies.

What emerges is a complex and nuanced collection that reflects the richness of more than three centuries of American higher education.
