Models of Man: Explorations in the Western Educational Tradition
by Paul NashThis book has a single motif and a dual purpose. Its motif is the portrayal of a number of the most influential models of the educated person that have been created as part of the Western cultural tradition. This motif is not meant to be exhaustive but is presented as one way in which that tradition might be plumbed. The purposes are to engender in the reader a broad knowledge of some of the dominant and persistent ideas and problems inherent in his own intellectual tradition; and to stimulate him to go further into the original sources of this tradition in search of meanings and insights that are uniquely relevant to his own educational development.

Models of Scenario Building and Planning
by Antonio MartelliModels of Scenario Building and Planning offers a unique and innovative exploration of the scenario approach. Importance is given to analysis of the competitors' behaviour. If Models of Scenario Building Planning (MSBP) is there to serve strategy, it should consider (with the utmost care) the interaction between the company and its competitors as well as the possible consequences. For example, when we talk about the company environment, we should never forget that it is not made just by impersonal economic or social forces, but also, if not foremost, by specific human actors, the competing companies. This book also focuses on the analysis of risk and uncertainty in MSBP (avoiding, however, any excessive technicalities). Risk can be defined as the probability of non-success: MSBP should stress not only the advantages of a strategy based on the scenario which will eventually materialise, but also the losses incurred by betting on the wrong scenarios. This is a point which has not received adequate attention in the relevant literature. The importance of the link between scenarios and strategies is also explored, that is, how strategies can be worked out on the basis of the scenarios which have been built.

Models of the Human in Twentieth-Century Linguistic Theories: System, Order, Creativity
by Feifei ZhouThis book provides a refreshingly new perspective for investigating linguistic texts, which foregrounds models of the human. It presents a close reading of major linguistic theories in the twentieth century with a focus on three main themes: linguistic system and the individual speaker; social order; and linguistic creativity. The examination of these three fundamental themes concerning language and human nature, on the one hand, provides a fine-textured exposition on the implicit and explicit models of human nature endorsed by major theorists; on the other, it reveals the methodological dilemmas faced by linguistics. In light of the fact that the importance of considering posthumanist ideas is increasingly being underscored today, both within and outside linguistics, this focus on the human makes the book highly topical.
Moderate Learning Difficulties and the Future of Inclusion
by Brahm Norwich Narcie KellyChildren with mild to moderate learning difficulties (MLD) make up the largest sub-group of children requiring special educational needs, and yet they are often neglected in terms of research and in their influence on future Government policies. This book, based on a Nuffield Foundation research project, considers the perspectives of children with moderate learning difficulties, reviewing relevant issues such as:* identification of children with MLD;* appropriate curriculum and pedagogy;* inclusion in mainstream schools; * their identity and self-perception.The authors weave their findings into a wider review of current research in the MLD field and use a range of perspectives, from the professional, to psychological and sociological.This is a contemporary look at MLD that discusses the historical and policy context , origins and justification for having a category for MLD. Students, researchers, and academics that are active in the field of inclusive education will find this an insightful and comprehensive text.
Moderating the Debate: Rationality and the Promise of American Education
by Michael J. FeuerModerating the Debate is a major statement on education research, policy, and reform that will be required reading for everyone with a stake in improving America's schools. This eloquent book examines the complex--and often problematic--relations between education research, policy, and practice, and proposes ways to improve those relationships in the interest of meaningful education reform. Based on the Burton and Inglis Lectures, which Michael Feuer delivered at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 2004 and 2005, the book begins with an examination of how recent developments in cognitive science have fundamentally changed the way we understand human decisionmaking and rational judgment. It then proceeds to a consideration of how the lessons of cognitive science might inform a more rational--and reasonable--approach to education research, policy, and reform. Moving deftly and with great insight through the worlds of education research and policymaking, Feuer offers practical solutions to the impasses and disconnections that have chronically thwarted workable, sustained education reform.

Modern City Revisited
by Thomas DeckkerThe supposed rationality of the urban planning of the Modern Movement encompassed a variety of attitudes towards history, technology and culture, from the vision of Berlin as an American metropolis, through the dispute between the urbanists and disurbanists in the Soviet Union to the technocratic and austere vision of Le Corbusier. After the Second World War, architects attempted to reconcile these utopian visions to the practical problems of constructing - or reconstructing - urban environments, from Piero Bottoni at the Quartiere Trienale 8 in Milan in 1951 to Lucio Costa at Bras'lia in 1957. In the 1970s, the collapse of Modernism brought about universial condemnation of Modern urbanism; urban planning,and rationality itself, were thrown into doubt. However, such a wholesale condemnation hides the complex realities underlying these Modern cities. The contributors define some of the theoretical foundations of Modern urban planning, and reassess the successes and the failures of the built results. The book ends with contrasting views of the inheritance of Modern urbanism in the United States and the Netherlands.

Modern Curriculum for Gifted and Advanced Academic Students
by Todd KettlerModern Curriculum for Gifted and Advanced Academic Students addresses the need for advanced curriculum design in an age of national standards and 21st-century learning innovations. The text and its authors work from the assumption that the most advanced learners need a qualitatively different design of learning experiences in order to develop their potential into outstanding achievement, answering the question, "How should we design learning experiences for our most advanced academic students in the foundational curriculum areas?" This book provides the most contemporary thinking about how to design in-depth courses of study in the foundational curriculum areas with a high degree of complexity and advanced content. The book includes chapters articulating specific design components like creative thinking, critical thinking, and authentic research, but also subject-specific chapters in mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies to demonstrate application of those design components.
