Innovating Counseling for Self- and Career Construction: Connecting Conscious Knowledge with Subconscious Insight
by Jacobus Gideon MareeThis book sets out to provide context for innovating counseling for self- and career construction. It gives readers insight into the theory underlying an innovative, integrative qualitative-quantitative approach to career counseling.Three key ideas recur throughout the book. First, the idea of not dispensing “advice” to people—instead, enabling them to advise themselves. Second, the idea of listening for instead of to people’s stories to help them choose and construct careers and themselves and shape their career identities. Third, the idea of helping people connect what they know about themselves consciously with what they are aware of subconsciously. The book confronts some of the main challenges posed by Work 4.0 on the workplace but also foreshadows the imminent advent of Work 5.0. It endeavors to promote career counselors’ ability to help people “thrive” at a time when many speculate that work itself is at risk, occupational contexts no longer “hold” workers in the way they used to, and the coronavirus pandemic is disrupting the workplace.

Innopolis University - From Zero to Hero: Ten Years of Challenges and Victories
by Manuel Mazzara Giancarlo Succi Alexander TormasovThis open access book describes the development of Innopolis, a young Russian university established in 2012 to focus on teaching excellence in computer science, engineering, and robotics. It reports on the problems that were faced in the first decade of its development, and the adopted solutions. It shows how the key aspects for the development of the faculty, the curricula, the university structure, and the challenge of internationalization have been successfully addressed by the university management and professors, and how the solutions are scalable for other newly founded research organizations.The book is divided in five parts: “The Beginning” describes the very early days in general, from the foundation and start-up of the university with the related processes. “The People” reports on the initial hiring of the faculty members, the selection of students, and the curriculum development. “The Activities” provide information about the creation of the single research institutions and labs, and their relation to industry. “The Future” gives an outlook on the planned internationalization and faculty strategy. Eventually, “A Visual Journey” shows a selection of photographs illustrating highlights of the whole process and the current achievements. The processes and the components described built the basis for the development of Innopolis, and many of them still have a big impact on its present and its future. The fewer mistakes are made at the beginning, the higher the probability to fully achieve the initial goals.
Innocents Abroad: American Teachers in the American Century
by Jonathan ZimmermanProtestant missionaries in Latin America. Colonial "civilizers" in the Pacific. Peace Corps Volunteers in Africa. Since the 1890s, thousands of American teachers--mostly young, white, middle-class, and inexperienced--have fanned out across the globe. Innocents Abroad tells the story of what they intended to teach and what lessons they learned. Drawing on extensive archives of the teachers' letters and diaries, as well as more recent accounts, Jonathan Zimmerman argues that until the early twentieth century, the teachers assumed their own superiority; they sought to bring civilization, Protestantism, and soap to their host countries. But by the mid-twentieth century, as teachers borrowed the concept of "culture" from influential anthropologists, they became far more self-questioning about their ethical and social assumptions, their educational theories, and the complexity of their role in a foreign society. Filled with anecdotes and dilemmas--often funny, always vivid--Zimmerman's narrative explores the teachers' shifting attitudes about their country and themselves, in a world that was more unexpected and unsettling than they could have imagined.
Innocence, Knowledge and the Construction of Childhood: The contradictory nature of sexuality and censorship in children’s contemporary lives
by Kerry H. RobinsonInnocence, Knowledge and the Construction of Childhood provides a critical examination of the way we regulate children’s access to certain knowledge and explores how this regulation contributes to the construction of childhood, to children’s vulnerability and to the constitution of the ‘good’ future citizen in developed countries. Through this controversial analysis, Kerry H. Robinson critically engages with the relationships between childhood, sexuality, innocence, moral panic, censorship and notions of citizenship. This book highlights how the strict regulation of children’s knowledge, often in the name of protection or in the child’s best interest, can ironically, increase children’s prejudice around difference, increase their vulnerability to exploitation and abuse, and undermine their abilities to become competent adolescents and adults. Within her work Robinson draws upon empirical research to: provide an overview of the regulation and governance of children’s access to ‘difficult knowledge’, particularly knowledge of sexuality explore and develop Foucault’s work on the relationship between childhood and sexuality identify the impact of these discourses on adults’ understanding of childhood, and the tension that exists between their own perceptions of sexual knowledge, and the perceptions of children reconceptualise children’s education around sexuality. Innocence, Knowledge and the Construction of Childhood is essential reading for both undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking courses in education, particularly with a focus on early childhood or primary teaching, as well as in other disciplines such as sociology, gender and sexuality studies, and cultural studies.
Innere Kontexte: Entwicklungssensible Ergänzung des naturwissenschaftsdidaktischen Kontextbegriffs
by Thomas ZüggeDer Kontextbegriff ist in der Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik wohletabliert. Das verleitet zu der Fehlannahme, er sei auch wohldefiniert. In dieser Arbeit wird gezeigt, dass die sehr un- terschiedlichen Verständnisse auch zu unterschiedlichen Zielsetzungen didaktischer Kon- textualisierung im naturwissenschaftlichen Unterricht führen. Die damit verbundenen Deutungen und Funktionen des Begriffs werden in einer Definition zusammengefasst. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Entwicklung Heranwachsender bisher nicht Teil dessen ist, was didaktisch als Kontext des Unterrichts bezeichnet wird. Die im weiteren Verlauf eingeführte „entwicklungssensible Kontextualisierung“ versteht sich in bewusster Abgrenzung zu anderen diskutierten Ansätzen, die Entwicklungsprozesse Jugendlicher in der Unterrichtsgestaltung abzubilden. Ihre Grundlage sind „innere Kontexte“, deren Charakter aus einer umfangreichen Diskussion des Entwicklungsaufgabenbegriffs in der modernen Entwicklungspsychologie abgeleitet wird.

The Inner Principal: Reflections On Educational Leadership (Student Outcomes And The Reform Of Education Ser. #Vol. 3)
by David LoaderThis is an account of how a principal combines the rational and emotional components of leadership to lead the transformation of a school. Most attempts at reform come from the outside, with people wishing to impose a curriculum and benchmarks; this book assumes that schools can transform themselves, but only when those involved in schools (especially principals) develop self-respect and achieve self-actualization. The author believes, and has demonstrated in his colleges, that a sensitive, thoughtful, proactive leadership might yet deliver the quality outcomes that the community desires from schooling.

The Inner Game of Selling: Mastering the Hidden Forces that Determine Your Success
by Ron WillinghamSelling is 85% emotional and 15% logical. Forget everything you've been taught about selling -- forget the hardsell, forget negotiation strategies, forget those closing techniques. In The Inner Game of Selling, Ron Willingham debunks the familiar myths about "sales skills," showing that those tired methods are too shallow and manipulative to do anything but alienate potential customers and drain you of energy and dignity. Today's consumers are wise to the old-fashioned gimmicks, extremely informed about their options, and very particular about what they want. The old tricks simply do not work anymore. Willingham, author of Integrity Service and CEO of Integrity Systems, opens your eyes to a whole new truth about selling: Your ability to sell is more a question of who you are than of what you know. Accordingly, why you sell is far more important than how you sell. Salespeople perform according to their inner beliefs about themselves, about what it is possible for them to sell and earn, and about what they deserve to achieve. These beliefs set the boundaries of their self-image and ultimately determine their success or failure. Willingham has synthesized his decades of experience, field-tested research, and a career-long dedication to ethical and passionate salesmanship to arrive at the groundbreaking insight that you will sell at your highest level only when you achieve emotional and spiritual alignment. Your sense of your own self-worth combined with a belief in your product will inspire that crucial ingredient in potential customers: trust. The Inner Game of Selling shows you how to overcome self-limiting beliefs and move on to a new relationship with your customers and, more important, a new relationship with yourself. Your new inner strengths will truly benefit you and your customers in any sales situation. Willingham is at the leading edge of a values shift in sales culture, from product-focus to personal empowerment. The Inner Game of Selling establishes a groundbreaking new paradigm that will utterly transform the philosophy and practice of selling.

Inklusives Studieren bei Blindheit und Sehbeeinträchtigung: Zwischen organisationaler Gestaltung und individueller Aneignung (Blinden- und Sehbehindertenpädagogik im Kontext Lebenslangen Lernens)
by Sabine Lauber‐Pohle Marc RuhlandtDas Buch trägt die Ergebnisse aus einem Projekt zu inklusivem Studieren bei Blindheit und Sehbeeinträchtigung zusammen, das an der Philipps‐Universität Marburg durchgeführt wurde. Auf Grundlage empirischer Befunde wird exemplarisch gezeigt, welche organisationalen Strukturen für Beratung, Support und Vernetzung geschaffen wurden und wie diese mit der Nachfrage von blinden und sehbehinderten Studierenden korrelieren. Deutlich wird, dass die Gestaltung inklusiver Studienbedingungen nicht als Anpassungsleistung Einzelner verstanden werden kann, sondern sich auf Ebene der Individuen, in der universitären Organisation und ihren vernetzten Zusammenhängen realisiert.
