ELVIS FILMS FAQ:ALL THAT'S LEFT TO KNOW ABOUT THE KING OF ROCK 'N' ROLL IN HOLLYWOOD

FAQ-serien er en ny bogserie fra Hans Reitzels Forlag, hvor forskere med viden om aktuelle pædagogiske emner søger at besvare en række af de oftest stillede spørgsmål til disse.Denne første bog i serien handler om uro. I mange sammenhænge udpeges undervisningsforstyrrende uro som folkeskolens største problem og udfordring, og uro er vitterligt en kæmpe udfordring, både for mange lærere og pædagoger, men bestemt også for eleverne.Men uro er ikke en isoleret størrelse, som kan håndteres med et universalpædagogisk snuptag, og når fænomenet på den måde sættes i centrum, kalder det både på kritisk undren og en mere nuanceret analyse og forståelse. Hensigten med denne bog er netop at udfolde kompleksiteten omkring uro i et lettilgængeligt sprog.Bogen henvender sig til alle aktører inden for det pædagogiske felt, både studerende, praktikere, forskere og beslutningstagere.

FAQ om innovation tager det hyppigt brugte begreb innovation op og diskuterer, hvad det kan og ikke kan, og hvad det gør ved os. Hvad kan innovation bidrage med i pædagogikken? Skal elever og studerende blive bedre til at omsætte faglig viden til salgbare produkter, eller handler innovationsdagsordenen snarere om at opdrage og uddanne dem til demokrati eller evnen til at få et lykkeligt liv? Skal pædagogerne og underviserne være innovative for at styrke børnenes og de unges motivation og læring? Eller er det måden at drive skole på, der skal innoveres? Hvem bestemmer? Og hvad gør man, hvis man er uenig eller ikke har lyst til at være innovativ?En central pointe i bogen er, at vi bliver nødt til at koble innovation til et konkret indhold, da det kan betyde noget helt forskelligt i fx en skoleklasse og en kommunal forvaltning. Hensigten med bogen er at dyrke nysgerrigheden og bidrage til en retorik og en praksis, hvor vi lader os inspirere af innovation frem for at lade os skræmme og stresse.FAQ om innovation er bog nr. 4 i FAQ-serien, der diskuterer ofte stillede spørgsmål inden for det pædagogiske og psykologiske område. Alle bøger i serien er peer reviewet. De tidligere titler i serien er FAQ om uro, FAQ om kreativitet og FAQ om læringsmål. Charlotte Wegener er lektor på Institut for Kommunikation, Aalborg Universitet. Hun forsker i innovation og bestræber sig på selv at være innovativ som forsker og formidler. Hun er levende optaget af at skabe viden på tværs af universitet og praksis og har selv en baggrund som underviser og uddannelseschef.

Læringsmål er blevet et centralt begreb i den danske forskning og debat om pædagogik og uddannelse. Man taler om læringsmål i forbindelse med børnenes udvikling i børnehaver og vuggestuer, i relation til folkeskolens fag og i forbindelse med de seneste års reformer af lærer- og pædagoguddannelserne. Men begrebet har ikke altid stået så centralt i sproget, som det gør nu.Bogen rejser og forsøger at besvare spørgsmål som fx: Hvorfor taler alle om læringsmål? Hvor kommer de fra? Hvad er et læringsmål egentlig, og hvad vil det sige at undervise læringsmålstyret? Er der forskel på mål? Kan man måle mål? Hvor fører læringsmålene os hen, og er der et alternativ til læringsmålene?FAQ om læringsmål er bog nr. 3 i FAQ-serien om ofte stillede spørgsmål inden for det pædagogiske og psykologiske område. Alle bøger i serien er peer reviewet.Niels Jakob Pasgaard er lektor på pædagoguddannelsen i Viborg og har en baggrund som lærer og cand.pæd. i filosofi. Han har skrevet artikler og holdt  en række foredrag om pædagogik, didaktik og læringsmål og er en aktiv stemme i den offentlige debat om disse emner.

Mere end hver femte elev i niende klasse har erfaring med at skade sig selv med vilje, fx ved at skære, brænde eller slå sig selv. Selvskade er et stort problem blandt unge, og andelen af selvskadende unge stiger, mens trivslen er for nedadgående. De fleste unge bruger selvskade som en effektiv, men omkostningsfuld måde at regulere svære følelser på og kommunikere til andre, at de har det svært. Selvskade må ses som et tegn på mistrivsel, og det er vigtigt, at der sættes ind så hurtigt som muligt for at hjælpe den unge med at få stoppet den selvskadende adfærd, som ellers kan udvikle sig og medføre endnu mere alvorlige problemer for den unge og for dem, der er omkring ham eller hende.Det er afgørende, at lærere, pædagoger, sundhedsplejersker og andre, der har kontakt med de unge, er i stand til at identificere og vurdere selvskade, tale med den unge og vide, hvad man kan gøre for at forebygge, at selvskade opstår eller breder sig i fx et skolemiljø.Bogen er baseret på den nyeste forskning og er primært henvendt til ansatte inden for skolesystemet, men kan også læses af pårørende eller andre, som har kontakt med unge eller ønsker at forstå selvskadens væsen.FAQ om selvskade er bog nr. 7 i FAQ-serien om ofte stillede spørgsmål inden for det pædagogiske og psykologiske område. Alle bøger i serien er peer reviewet.

Denne bog handler om dannelse. Det er et begreb, som har været forvist fra dansk pædagogik i mange år, idet den pædagogiske debat gradvis er blevet overtrumfet af økonomiske og dannelseskritiske synspunkter. De aktuelle reformer af skolen, læreruddannelsen og gymnasiet er et resultat af dette. Men i dag er stemningen vendt, og begrebet er igen på alles læber.Men hvad er dannelse? Det enkle svar er, at dannelse handler om forbindelsen mellem mennesket og verden. Det er sådan set bare det. Så enkelt er det. Og så interessant, bør man tilføje.I FAQ om dannelse besvarer Thomas Aastrup Rømer en række centrale og ofte stillede spørgsmål om dannelse, herunder om der findes en dansk dannelsestradition, og om hvorfor den forsvandt. Han afrunder bogen med at påvise, hvordan dannelsen formår at stille en række kritiske spørgsmål til aktuelle problemstillinger som fx verdensborgerskab, klima og digitalisering.

Det at måle skoleelevers og studerendes præstationer med en karakter er en flere hundrede år gammel tradition, og karaktererne er i dag en så indgroet del af skole og uddannelse i vores kultur, at de opleves som en selvfølgelig del af hverdagen. Men er karaktergivning ikke efterhånden så gammel en praksis, at det er på tide at overveje dens rolle, formål og relevans set i lyset af den samfundsmæssige udvikling, forandringer i skole og uddannelse samt den viden, vi har i dag om læring og læreprocesser?For hvad vil vi overhovedet med karaktererne i skole og uddannelse? Hvordan bruges de, og hvordan påvirker de elever og studerende? Hvad måler en karakter egentlig? Lærer man mere, hvis man får karakterer? Spiller ens sociale baggrund eller køn en rolle for ens karakterer? Og hvilke erfaringer har man med at bedrive en undervisning helt uden karakterer?I FAQ om karakterer diskuterer og besvarer bogens forfatter disse og en række andre aktuelle og ofte stillede spørgsmål om karaktergivning i skolen.FAQ om karakterer er bog nr. 6 i FAQ-serien om ofte stillede spørgsmål inden for det pædagogiske og psykologiske område. Som de øvrige bøger i serien er også denne bog peer reviewet.Karen Egedal Andreasen er ph.d. og cand.phil. og lektor ved Institut for Kultur og Læring, Aalborg Universitet. Hun er tilknyttet CFU – Center for Uddannelses- og Evalueringsforskning sammesteds og forfatter til en række publikationer om didaktik og evaluering.

Founded by guitarist Mick Jones and fronted by the legendary Joe Strummer the Clash had the charisma of Elvis the integrity of the Beatles and the swagger of the Rolling Stones. Through a series of influential singles and stirring concerts the Clash not only outlasted their rivals the Sex Pistols but also prospered and broke through in the US of A a feat matched by no other UK punk-rock band.ÞWith the classic ÊLondon CallingÊ and revolutionary triple album ÊSandinista!Ê the Clash helped popularize both reggae and hip-hop thereby indoctrinating the record buying public to world music. By 1982 members of the Clash found themselves not only with a hit album (ÊCombat RockÊ) but also playing opening sets during the Who''s first retirement tour. It appeared the Clash would fill this gap. It was not to be. A series of self-inflicted wounds led to a legendary downfall mere months after appearing in front on their largest audience ever at the U.S. Festival in 1983. Strummer and bassist Paul Simonon soldiered on with the underrated Clash Round Two but eventually disintegrated under the weight of their manager''s mind games.ÞIn ÊThe Clash FAQÊ author Gary J. Jucha covers the band''s inception and emergence in the early British punk scene all of the studio albums as well as bootlegs the band''s success in the U.S. the lineup shifts tours and more. Fresh in its approach and broad in scope this an essential volume for every fan.

David Bowie was one of the world's most famous rock stars. But, as David Bowie FAQ shows, he was also far more than that. After spending the latter part of the 1960s searching for the best medium through which to express his artistic aspirations-and trying out several performing arts in the process-he experienced fleeting but significant success in music with the top-ten UK hit "Space Oddity," released at the time of the successful Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. Subsequently he achieved true international fame in the early 1970s through playing the role of the androgynous alien rock-star Ziggy Stardust. From here he went on to a career that spanned five decades, exploring numerous artistic disciplines, challenging societal mores and conventions, and building a platform of constant change and reinvention. Whereas most rock stars would find a winning formula and rigidly stick to it to avoid alienating their fans, David Bowie made stylistic variation his cornerstone-an entirely new and model for rock stardom. But David Bowie was more than a rock star. Reflecting an approach to art that knew no boundaries, he also made his mark in movie acting, legitimate stage acting, and more. There was a unifying factor in all of the roles he played, regardless of medium, because even from childhood he'd felt himself to be an outsider, alienated and estranged. Bowie's fans quickly recognized this quality in him, and it created a bond that went far beyond the usual star-fan relationship. Through David Bowie, fans found themselves able to accept their sense of difference as a positive thing rather than a negative one. David Bowie didn't simply entertain people-he empowered them.

FLEETWOOD MAC FAQ: ALL THAT'S LEFT TO KNOW ABOUT THE ICONIC ROCK SURVIVORS

THE BAND FAQ: ALL THAT'S LEFT TO KNOW ABOUT THE FATHERS OF AMERICANA

Dave Matthews Band celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2016, a milestone few bands achieve. How did the group build and retain an audience so devoted that they stuck with DMB through more than a quarter century? Dave Matthews Band FAQ answers this question and many more, exploring the group''s history in detail from a variety of angles. Natives of the college rock circuit of the southern Atlantic seaboard, DMB became part of a close-knit group of similarly minded jam bands that spread across the USA during the 1990s. Thanks to a grassroots following that eagerly traded tapes of live DMB shows, the band cultivated a dedicated fan base that crossed over into the mainstream.Dave Matthews Band FAQ traces this evolution, documenting the culture of Charlottesville, Virginia, at the dawn of the ''90s, detailing the group''s peers and examining their catalog, both live and studio, in detail. Collectively, these chapters explain everything there is to know about the most popular jam band in history.
