Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of the most important issues in public and academic debate is the concept of value and the difficulty in defining it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is a collection of freshly invited papers by a number of well-known philosophers and theorists attracted to the puzzles of interpretation in the sciences, history, literature, and the arts. Interpretation is usually viewed as a specialized discipline in one or another domain-sacred texts, law and political constitutions, poetry and painting and music. But notably since the French Revolution and the rise of post-Kantian philosophy, culminating in Hegel, interpretation has come into its own as a distinctive problematic bearing on the theory of reality and the conditions for the objective characterization of different parts of the world. It is now noticeably difficult to separate the specialized interpretive work of one or another discipline from larger reflections on interpretation's role in our account of knowledge and reality themselves. The papers here collected have isolated and pursued the most salient puzzles of what now forms the theory of interpretation.

From teachers and administrators to board members and parents, Information Technology for Schools is an invaluable guide for any school or district that is serious about systemic and continuous improvement.' --Lois B. Cohn, IBM certified business transformation consultant 'At last educators have a resource that offers a user-friAndly approach to applying technology to student learning and organizational growth. Information Technology for Schools tells us how data support decisions, how faculty become empowered to employ technology in the classroom, and how guided inquiry is a tool for continuous improvement of the learning environment.' --Judith R. Fox, superintendent of schools, Byram Hills School District, Armonk, New York The push for higher educational standards and greater accountability has increased the demand for better information on the progress of schools and their students.

From the classroom to the school district, Information Technology for Schools presents successful approaches to using technology to serve different educational priorities. The contributing authors discuss the challenge of planning integrated information systems, establishing benchmarks to measure overall progress, and harnessing technology to improve curriculum and teaching practice. They highlight practical questions for educational stakeholders and provide sound advice on building effective information technology systems.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Information Alchemy is full of advocacy and analysis on the application of knowledge management to universities. These institutions are among the most knowledge-oriented of all, and it's high time they began to manage their knowledge more effectively. This book will provide a great start.' --Thomas H. Davenport, director, Andersen Consulting Institute for Strategic Change, and professor, Boston University School of Management 'The EDUCAUSE Leadership Strategies series has become an important resource for colleges and universities as they address the challenges and opportunities of the digital age. This latest volume provides an important introduction for campus administrators to the rapidly evolving discipline of knowledge management. Although evolving first in the business sector, knowledge management has significant implications for knowledge-intensive organizations such as the university.' --James J. Duderstadt, president emeritus, University of Michigan, and director, Millennium Project 'Information Alchemy offers a timely and unique assessment of the problems and prospects of knowledge management in higher education. The book is a major contribution to a subject of real importance and little prior attention.' (John Leslie King, dean, School of Information, University of Michigan) Information technology is only as valuable as the knowledge it provides. For the modern organization, true success depends on using and managing that knowledge to improve products, programs, or services. This dynamic is no different for colleges and universities as they grapple with new technology and the evolving expectations of students, faculty, and staff. Written for university presidents, college deans, program directors, and other leaders in higher education, this volume presents a foundational introduction to knowledge management and its growing significance to campuses everywhere. Each chapter addresses a critical aspect of knowledge management, identifies key strategic issues, and offers practical advice and guidance on how such issues might be addressed on an institutional or departmental level. Since knowledge management is an interdisciplinary field of study and practice, the authors in this volume represent a rich array of backgrounds, disciplines, and organizational affiliations. Their expertise and insights will help readers to make sense of the information revolution and become thoughtful leaders of knowledge management.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The work of professionals with children with disabilities affects the children's family, while events at home affect what professionals can achieve with the children. This text describes how professionals can form collaborative relationships with the parents of the children in their care, to optimise the children's development and to enable both family members and professionals to work in the children's interests. It describes experiences of families who have a child with a disability and takes a new look at old assumptions that disability necessarily has a negative effect on families or that families themselves are in need of therapy simply by virtue of having a child with additional needs.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Combining critical reflectivity and pragmatic guidance, this book is designed to meet the needs of professionals in the public and private sector whose work involves them in developing their own and others' knowledge and practice. The book begins by providing a thoroughly referenced review of the philosophies and theories underpinning current approaches to professional education as a basis for demonstrating the particular salience and implications of a Personal Construct Psychology approach for practice and research. This establishes a conceptual framework for the extensive practical guidance which follows on how to implement, with rigour and sensitivity, a range of techniques from the traditional structured repertory grid to more flexible, innovative strategies for exploring how the world is or might be construed. A selection of exemplar applications from a variety of fields of professional practice illustrates the elasticity of the approach and methods, challenging readers to adapt the ideas presented as a catalytic resource to the development of professional practice and research.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The aim of this book is to describe a didactic, cognitive-behavioural group therapy approach to the anxiety disorders. 'Stress Control' is a robust six session 'evening class' designed for either small or large group format - anything between 6 and 60 on each course. It is designed to be flexible to better meet the needs of routine clinical work. The therapy has, as its basic premise, the goal of 'turning individuals into their own therapists'. It differs fundamentally from much therapy in that the role of the therapist becomes that of the teacher while the patient becomes the student. Re-conceptualising roles in this way helps the individual to take responsibility for change and to attribute change to the individual's own coping skills rather than to the skill of the therapist. It is designed for the treatment of heterogeneous anxiety disorders and assumes the presence of co-morbid problems, some of which are tackled in the course. It attempts to teach individuals to understand their problems within both a psychological and social context.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mother-child and father-child psychology is a psychodynamic - developmental approach to relatively short-term treatment of relational disturbances in young children. The mother-child, father-child and mother-father dyads meet in weekly meetings with the same therapist in the same physical set up.The therapist as a participant observer in recurrent patterns of interactions and relations within the dyads, explicitly conveys to each parent that his/her unique role to their child is to be respected and validated. The approach is practised as a diagnostic assessment tool to help in the placing of pathology, as a preparation, in some cases, for individual therapy for the child or simultaneous treatment for child and parent, and as a treatment of choice for the relational disturbances between parents and their developmentally prelatency children. This book provides an overview of theoretical similarities and differences in basic aspects of the parent-child therapies, and offers a detailed description of the main features of a new model that enhances the parents' and the child's experiential learning.
