Education Psychology: BRIEFER COURSE
by E.L. ThorndikeThis is Volume VIII of thirty-two in a series on Developmental Psychology. Originally published in 1923, the author wites that our knowledge of human instincts and capacities, of the processes of learning and remembering, of mental work and fatigue, and of individual differences and their causes has been much increased in the past score of years. This Briefer Course represents a simpler treatment of the more fundamental subject matter of these volumes, organized as a text-book in Educational Psychology for students in colleges and schools.
Education Scholarship in Healthcare: The Health Scholar’s Toolbox
by April S. Fitzgerald Gundula BoschAcademic medical centers continue to require evidence of scholarly activity for their faculty to maintain their appointment and to advance in promotion/rank. For some, training to know how to obtain evidence of scholarship was obtained through fellowship where information was passed from mentor to mentee in an apprenticeship fashion without a formalized text to follow to obtain the information. In fellowship, information might flow through word-of-mouth or articles handed down out to a mentee. Others in fellowship develop skills by taking classes as part of an additional master’s degree program such as a Master of Public Health.For health professionals who enter an academic institution without having gone through a fellowship program, they are still expected to perform scholarly activity but don’t have the benefit of having done the apprenticeship to learn the skills, so unless they decide to find a course, obtain a master’s degree, or find a fellowship, they have no way to gain the necessary skills and are at risk of losing their appointment and have no hope of progressing in promotion.This text provides a comprehensive toolbox for the academic who needs these skills to survive. It serves as a valuable resource for health professionals – physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, and allied professionals – as well as scientists, and students, with the steps necessary to take their educational endeavors from idea to implementation through dissemination. Beginning with the concept of “What is Scholarship”, the authors walk the reader through the concepts of how to find your niche, look through the literature to check for a gap, design a question, consider evaluation and outcomes, be aware of ethical considerations, plan a project, look for support, find mentorship, prepare an abstract, present a poster, disseminate a project, and lead a team. All chapters are written by experts in the subject matter.
Education Skills for 21st Century Teachers
by Ian G. Kennedy Gloria Latham Hélia JacintoThis monograph presents the current views, challenges and future needs of educators from a global online exchange where educators and researchers discuss the 21st century skills needed by students and teachers. The three editors, who participated in the global online research discussion group, also assumed the role of authors to summarise, analyse and celebrate the myriad of ideas generated in a topic thread that had well over a thousand responses from 26 countries. Through Comparative Analysis they then compared the posters' ideas to some current big thinkers in education. This text promotes teachers' voices from diverse disciplines and sectors who are united in their desire for purposeful and radical change in how teaching is carried out and what is taught. The text advocates shifting power away from government control and standardisation towards empowering teachers to guide and further develop the unique talents of diverse individuals.
Education and Neuroscience: Evidence, Theory and Practical Application
by Paul Howard-JonesThis book brings together contributions from scientists and educators at the forefront of interdisciplinary research efforts involving neuroscience and education. It includes consideration of what we know about brain function that may be relevant to educational areas including reading, mathematics, music and creativity. The increasing interest of educators in neuroscience also brings dangers with it, as evidenced by the proliferation of neuromyths within schools and colleges. For this reason, it also reviews some of the more prominent misconceptions, as well as exploring how educational understanding can be constructed in the future that includes concepts from neuroscience more judiciously.This book will be of interest to educators, policymakers and scientists seeking fresh perspectives on how we learn.This book was published as a special issue in Educational Research, a journal of the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER).
Education and Support Programs for Caregivers
by Deborah J. Monahan David H. Haigler Ronald W. ToselandFor many, caring for a chronically ill family member is "the right thing to do", but it is also often a source of emotional hardship, physical stress, and social isolation. In response, skill-building, coping, and psychoeducational programs have emerged to help caregivers meet the changes and challenges in their - as well as the patients' - lives. Education and Support Programs for Caregivers reveals the diversity of the caregiver population as well as their experiences and needs, and it introduces an empirically solid framework for planning, implementing, and evaluating caregiver programs. The book synthesizes current trends, exploring the effectiveness of different types of programs (e.g., clinic, community, home based) and groups (e.g., peer, professional, self-help), and how supportive programs lead to improved care. Coverage includes: Improving service delivery of education and support programs to underserved caregivers.Cultural, ethnic, and gender issues in conducting caregiver education and support groups.Utilization patterns (e.g., a key to understanding service needs).E-health, telehealth, and other technological developments in caregiver services.Evaluating the effectiveness and sustainability of programs.Recommendations for future practice, training, policy, and advocacy.Education and Support Programs for Caregivers offers a wealth of insights and ideas for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students across the caregiving fields, including psychology, social work, public health, geriatrics and gerontology, and medicine as well as public and education policy makers.

Education, Disordered Eating and Obesity Discourse: Fat Fabrications
by Brian Davies John Evans Emma Rich Rachel AllwoodEating less, exercising more and losing weight seem the obvious solution for the oncoming 'obesity epidemic'. Rarely, however, is thought given to how these messages are interpreted and whether they are in fact inherently healthy. Education, Disordered Eating and Obesity Discourse investigates how 'body centred talk' about weight, fat, food and exercise is recycled in schools, enters educational processes, and impacts on the identities and health of young people. Drawing on the experiences of young women who have developed eating disorders and research on international school curricula and the media, the authors challenge the veracity, substance and merits of contemporary 'obesity discourse'. By concentrating on previously unexplored aspects of the debate around weight and health, it is revealed how well-meaning advice can propel some children toward behaviour that seriously damages their health. This book is not only about 'eating disorders' and the people affected, but the effects of obesity discourse on everyone’s health as it enters public policy, educational practice and the cultural fabric of our lives. It will interest students, teachers, doctors, health professionals and researchers concerned with obesity and weight issues.
Educational Dimensions of School Lunch: Critical Perspectives
by A. G. Rud Suzanne RiceSchool lunch is often regarded as a necessary but inconvenient distraction from the real work of education. Lunch, in this view, is about providing students the nourishment they need in order to attend to academic content and the tests that assess whether content has been learned. In contrast, the central purpose of this collection is to examine school lunch as an educational phenomenon in its own right. Contributing authors—drawing from a variety of disciplinary traditions, including philosophy, sociology, and anthropology—examine school lunch policies and practices, social and cultural aspects of food and eating, and the relation among school food, the environment, and human and non-human animal well-being. The volume also addresses how school lunch might be more widely conceptualized and practiced as an educational undertaking.
Educational Outcomes for Students With Disabilities
by James E Ysseldyke Martha L ThurlowEducational Outcomes for Students With Disabilities provides readers with the most current perspectives on outcomes that are certain to have an influence on the services they provide. A shift from a focus on the process of education for students with disabilities to a focus on measurable outcomes is occurring and is permeating every level of education, from policy on down to the classroom. This book helps readers think about and prepare for changes in how they provide services.To begin preparing readers for change, the book presents a wide range of topics, beginning with clarifying definitions and historical groundings for the emphasis on outcomes. The authors cover everything from a perspective on the controversial Outcome Based Education (OBE) approach to guidelines on how to use existing data on outcomes. Ways to think about outcomes beyond academics and in alternative settings are addressed as well. Chapters also address different perspectives on what outcomes should be for even young children with disabilities.The contributing authors of this book represent a range of professionals--researchers, policymakers, advocates--whose work helps support student attainment of positive educational outcomes. Individual subjects addressed include: assessment data collection standards opportunity to learn outcome based education (OBE) school reform alternative programs indicators accountabilityEducational Outcomes for Students With Disabilities is a current synthesis of what specialists know about educational outcomes for students with disabilities. It highlights how new ideas will change how school personnel--school counselors and psychologists; supervisors; social workers; speech and language therapists; occupational and physical therapists; and SEA/LEA administrators--educate their students with disabilities.

Educational Standards for Nurses: With Other Addresses on Nursing Subjects (Routledge Revivals)
by Isabel Hampton RobbOriginally published in 1907, this title was one of several influential textbooks on nursing written by Isabel Hampton Robb, a nursing theorist. The first superintendent of nurses at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing she helped to found key organizations for nurses in the USA. Her work in nursing has led to her being thought of as a founder of modern American nursing theory, and many of the standards she implemented are still in place today. Hampton also played a large role in advancing the social status of nursing, previously thought of a profession for the lower classes. Her work in developing a curriculum of more advanced training during her time at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing raised the status of the profession. Nursing education today would not be what it is without the contribution of Isabel Hampton Robb.

Een bedrieglijke bijbal
by G.A. van EssenBijzondere gevallen. Huisartsen worden daar vaak als eerste mee geconfronteerd. Die gevallen zijn in eerste instantie vaak niet meer dan een casuïstische mededeling. Over aandoeningen met een lage prevalentie, waarover nooit een NHG–Standaard zal verschijnen, over een diagnostisch instrument, een aparte therapie of nauwelijks gebruikte farmacotherapie die in individuele gevallen heel goed werkzaam bleek. Maar die mededelingen zijn van groot belang want ze vormen de belangrijkste startpunten voor medische innovatie.Vrijwel alle klinische lessen in Een bedrieglijke bijbal zijn zulke casuïstische mededelingen. Geschreven vóór en dóór huisartsen. Want niet alleen is een huisarts degene die de afwijking als eerste constateert, hij kan ook het best de lessen trekken die leerzaam zijn voor zijn collega's. Elk hoofdstuk uit deze bundel is daardoor een collegiaal feest om te lezen!In deze reeks verschenen: Palliatieve zorg Kwalitatief onderzoek

Bij elke foto wordt een techniek beschreven voor het palperen van de desbetreffende structuur. De foto's bestaan uit twee typen: Overzichtsfoto's: algemene foto's die een hoofdstuk inleiden; topografische foto's die alle goed palpabele structuren van een regio als geheel laten zien; topografische foto's die de ligging van de afzonderlijke structuren (meestal spieren) ten opzichte van de omgeving laten zien. Foto's van palpatietechnieken: deze laten de onderzochte structuur zien en worden gecompleteerd met een beschrijving van de benaderingstechniek.Het boek kent twee zoekingangen. Om een regio in zijn totaliteit te benaderen, zoekt de gebruiker via de inhoudsopgave, voor het palperen van een specifieke anatomische structuur dient de gebruiker het register te raadplegen.
Een nieuwe heup of knie: Hoe wordt u weer lichamelijk en sportief actief?
by Martin Stevens Gesine Seeber Inge van den Akker-Scheek Sophie ThölkenDit boek helpt mensen met een heup- of knieprothese gezond en fit ouder te worden. In eerste instantie door lichamelijke revalidatie en fysieke inspanning, maar ook bijvoorbeeld door de terugkeer naar werk. Het boek is bedoeld voor (familie van) personen die binnenkort een heup- of knieprothese krijgen of er al één hebben. Ook is het een goede informatiebron voor (para)medici. Een nieuwe heup of knie gaat verder dan de gebruikelijke patiëntenvoorlichting. Zo leest u over artrose, de gewrichtsvervangende operatie, de revalidatie, oefeningen die thuis gedaan kunnen worden, seksuele activiteit, terugkeer naar het werk en het belang van lichamelijke en sportieve activiteiten. Dat laatste is extra belangrijk voor mensen met een heup- of knieprothese. De prothese groeit namelijk beter vast en het valrisico vermindert. Ook leest u over de zaken waar rekening mee gehouden moet worden bij fysieke inspanning: bewegingsbeperkingen en slijtage, bijvoorbeeld. En over de invloed van gezonde voeding en overgewicht op de levensduur van de prothese. De onderwerpen in dit boek zijn gekozen op basis van vragen en opmerkingen van mensen die zelf een prothese krijgen of hebben. De voorbeelden komen uit de praktijk en de concrete adviezen sluiten daar naadloos op aan. Een nieuwe heup of knie is geschreven door een multidisciplinaire groep deskundigen, zodat alle aspecten waar de patiënt mee te maken krijgt, behandeld worden.
Een patient met ADHD
by M. Beenackers F. KatTot voor kort werd ADHD voornamelijk als een aandoening bij kinderen beschouwd. Ook volwassenen kampen met ADHD. Het is een stoornis waarmee je geboren wordt, dat niet zomaar overgaat bij het ouder worden. Je kunt in het dagelijks leven veel last hebben van ADHD. Maar er is ook veel te doen om de stoornis hanteerbaar te maken en negatieve gevolgen te beperken. Het is daarom voor de huisarts belangrijk te weten hoe er het beste mee om te gaan. Vooral problemen met richten & volhouden van aandacht worden ervaren. Voor mensen met ADHD is het remmen van gedrag en het filteren van informatie moeilijk. Zelfs zo moeilijk dat aanlopen tegen problemen op school, in werk en bij het aangaan van sociale contacten, iedere dag plaatsvindt. ADHD kenmerkt zich door aandachtsproblemen, hyperactiviteit en impulsiviteit. Bij volwassenen treden vooral problemen met het richten en volhouden van de aandacht op de voorgrond.

Eetstoornissen: De Feiten
by D. Llewellyn-Jones S. AbrahamVele duizenden mensen per jaar lijden aan eetstoornissen, zoals anorexia nervosa, boulimia nervosa en obesitas. Eetstoornissen - de feiten gaat in op de vraag waarom eetstoornissen optreden en beschrijft per eetstoornis het eetgedrag, de diagnose en de mogelijke behandelingen. Veel factoren zijn daarbij van invloed. Denk bijvoorbeeld in dit verband aan relevante termen als energiebalans, hormonen, de rol van de hersenen en culturele overtuigingen. En hoewel er nog altijd veel onduidelijkheid is hoe deze factoren in elkaar passen, wordt wel steeds meer bekend over rol, belang en samenhang hiervan. Eetstoornissen - de feiten is naast Ziekten van de schildklier en Schizofrenie de derde uitgave in de serie De feiten. Het boek is een vertaling van Eating disorders: the facts, een uitgave van Oxford University Press
