Neuroscience and Education: A Philosophical Appraisal (Routledge International Studies in the Philosophy of Education)
by Clarence W. JoldersmaThis volume makes a philosophical contribution to the application of neuroscience in education. It frames neuroscience research in novel ways around educational conceptualizing and practices, while also taking a critical look at conceptual problems in neuroeducation and at the economic reasons driving the mind-brain education movement. It offers alternative approaches for situating neuroscience in educational research and practice, including non-reductionist models drawing from Dewey and phenomenological philosophers such as Martin Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty. The volume gathers together an international bevy of leading philosophers of education who are in a unique position to contribute conceptually rich and theoretically framed insight on these new developments. The essays form an emerging dialogue to be used within philosophy of education as well as neuroeducation, educational psychology, teacher education and curriculum studies.

Neuroscienze in aula. Sviluppo dell’intelligenza spaziale-visiva.
by Giuseppina De Vita Beatriz ManriqueL’obiettivo centrale del testo è quello di facilitare l’accesso al discorso sulla neuroscienza e come utilizzarla in aula, principalmente attraverso lo sviluppo dell’intelligenza spaziale-visiva proposta tanto da Gardner come da Beauport, due teorici delle intelligenze multiple. Si sviluppa l’uso della visualizzazione, l’abilità per arrivare all’astrazione degli spazi, come opzione di attività in classe progettate nell’ottica di un’educazione integrale. I temi presentati sono organizzati in nove parti: l’introduzione, un’intervista a una famosa maestra, la bilateralità cerebrale, un modello di analisi che parte dall’insegnamento delle lingue, il lavoro con le immagini, l’intelligenza visiva e la creatività, le immagini in aula, una proposta di attività con immagini e le conclusioni. In ciascuna parte si sviluppano differenti aspetti relazionati all’applicazione delle neuroscienze in una classe di lingue straniere, ma solo come esempio di applicazione poiché che l’obiettivo dell’autrice è di presentare, in maniera chiara, l’applicabilità della neuroscienza a tutte le aree di insegnamento e con molti esempi che facilitino l’estrapolazione dell’informazione ad altri campi. L’intervista con una maestra venezuelana di larghe vedute - Alicia Steiner – è uno dei migliori esempi, poiché mostra di fatto che quando si vuole, ci si prepara e si agisce, si raggiungono gli obiettivi. Le pratiche che vengono suggerite e gli esercizi che vengono descritti sono stati utilizzati in aula dalla stessa autrice, che offre la possibilità di espandere il loro utilizzo ad altre aree. Infine, nel testo sono raccolte varie attività visive come esempi di possibile utilizzo nel primo giorno di lezione. Le conclusioni includono, inoltre, riflessioni su tutto il processo del lavoro del docente secondo questo metodo.
Neuzuwanderung, sprachliche Bildung und Inklusion: Eine ethnographische Studie im Sekundarschulbereich (Inklusion und Bildung in Migrationsgesellschaften)
by Simone PlögerDie Studie untersucht, wie neu zugewanderte Schüler*innen an einer Hamburger Sekundarschule integrativ, d.h. sowohl in Regelklassen als auch einer Vorbereitungsklasse, beschult werden. Anhand von ethnographischen Daten wird durch Auswertungsmethoden der Reflexiven Grounded Theory aufgezeigt, wie es zu Prozessen der Inklusion und Exklusion durch sprachliche Bildung kommt. Herausforderungen zeigen sich in strukturell-organisationalen Hürden, während sich Chancen durch das inklusive Selbstverständnis der Schule ergeben, die ihren Unterricht an eine diverse Schüler*innenschaft angepasst hat. So hängt die Möglichkeit der Teilhabe am Regelunterricht letztlich vor allem von Faktoren ab, die alle Schüler*innen gleichermaßen und nicht nur neu zugewanderte betreffen.

Never Eat Alone, Expanded and Updated: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time
by Keith Ferrazzi Tahl RazThe bestselling business classic on the power of relationships, updated with in-depth advice for making connections in the digital world. Do you want to get ahead in life? Climb the ladder to personal success? The secret, master networker Keith Ferrazzi claims, is in reaching out to other people. As Ferrazzi discovered in early life, what distinguishes highly successful people from everyone else is the way they use the power of relationships—so that everyone wins. In Never Eat Alone, Ferrazzi lays out the specific steps—and inner mindset—he uses to reach out to connect with the thousands of colleagues, friends, and associates on his contacts list, people he has helped and who have helped him. And in the time since Never Eat Alone was published in 2005, the rise of social media and new, collaborative management styles have only made Ferrazzi&’s advice more essential for anyone hoping to get ahead in business. The son of a small-town steelworker and a cleaning lady, Ferrazzi first used his remarkable ability to connect with others to pave the way to Yale, a Harvard M.B.A., and several top executive posts. Not yet out of his thirties, he developed a network of relationships that stretched from Washington&’s corridors of power to Hollywood&’s A-list, leading to him being named one of Crain&’s 40 Under 40 and selected as a Global Leader for Tomorrow by the Davos World Economic Forum. Ferrazzi&’s form of connecting to the world around him is based on generosity, helping friends connect with other friends. Ferrazzi distinguishes genuine relationship-building from the crude, desperate glad-handing usually associated with &“networking.&” He then distills his system of reaching out to people into practical, proven principles. Among them: Don&’t keep score: It&’s never simply about getting what you want. It&’s about getting what you want and making sure that the people who are important to you get what they want, too. &“Ping&” constantly: The ins and outs of reaching out to those in your circle of contacts all the time—not just when you need something. Never Eat Alone: The dynamics of status are the same whether you&’re working at a corporation or attending a social event—&“invisibility&” is a fate worse than failure. Become the &“King of Content&”: How to use social media sites like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook to make meaningful connections, spark engagement, and curate a network of people who can help you with your interests and goals. In the course of this book, Ferrazzi outlines the timeless strategies shared by the world&’s most connected individuals, from Winston Churchill to Bill Clinton, Vernon Jordan to the Dalai Lama. Chock-full of specific advice on handling rejection, getting past gatekeepers, becoming a &“conference commando,&” and more, this new edition of Never Eat Alone will remain a classic alongside alongside How to Win Friends and Influence People for years to come.
Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic—and What We Can Do About It
by Jennifer Breheny WallaceThe definitive book on the rise of “toxic achievement culture” overtaking our kids' and parents' lives, and a new framework for fighting back. <p><p> In the ever more competitive race to secure the best possible future, today’s students face unprecedented pressure to succeed. They jam-pack their schedules with AP classes, fill every waking hour with resume-padding activities, and even sabotage relationships with friends to “get ahead.” Family incomes and schedules are stretched to the breaking point by tutoring fees and athletic schedules. Yet this drive to optimize performance has only resulted in skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and even self-harm in America’s highest achieving schools. Parents, educators, and community leaders are facing the same quandary: how can we teach our kids to strive towards excellence without crushing them? <p><p> In Never Enough, award-winning reporter Jennifer Breheny Wallace investigates the deep roots of toxic achievement culture, and finds out what we must do to fight back. Drawing on interviews with families, educators, and an original survey of nearly 6,000 parents, she exposes how the pressure to perform is not a matter of parental choice but baked in to our larger society and spurred by increasing income inequality and dwindling opportunities. As a result, children are increasingly absorbing the message that they have no value outside of their accomplishments, a message that is reinforced by the media and greater culture at large. <p><p> Through deep research and interviews with today’s leading child psychologists, Wallace shows what kids need from the adults in the room is not more pressure, but to feel like they matter, and have intrinsic self-worth not contingent upon external achievements. Parents and educators who adopt the language and values of mattering help children see themselves as a valuable contributor to a larger community. And in an ironic twist, kids who receive consistent feedback that they matter no matter what are more likely to have the resilience, self-confidence, and psychological security to thrive. <p><p> Packed with memorable stories and offering a powerful toolkit for positive change, Never Enough offers an urgent, humane view of the crisis plaguing today’s teens and a practical framework for how to help. <p> <b>New York Times Bestseller</b>

Never Let a Fool Kiss You or a Kiss Fool You
by Mardy GrotheWhat do Mae West, John F. Kennedy, Victor Hugo, and H. L. Mencken have in common? They all indulged in chiasmus-a literary device in which word order is reversed to hilarious or poignant effect. When Mae West said, "It's not the men in my life, it's the life in my men," she was using chiasmus; when John F. Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," he was doing the same. Dr. Mardy Grothe has compiled hundreds of examples of chiasmus in this whimsically illustrated collection, bringing this witty and thought-provoking device out of obscurity and into the public imagination. "There is plenty of delight in this overdue collection. " (Houston Chronicle)
