This edited collection challenges the common preoccupation with knowledge acquisition and academic achievement by comparing the aims and cultural beliefs which drive education in different countries throughout the world.Through case studies from countries in Asia, Latin America, Africa, and Europe, the authors present how education can be approached holistically to foster student happiness and well-being. The book illustrates wide-ranging interpretations of what it means to provide a "good education," and how student-centered, holistic approaches to learning can be effective in promoting creativity, tolerance, student well-being, and an appreciation of environmental and societal responsibilities. Based on rigorous mixed-method empirical research, it highlights how the integration of happiness in education can not only enhance academic excellence but can also have a positive impact on the students' overall well-being.This cutting-edge book focuses on the holistic development and well-being of students and will be a relevant reading for educators, researchers, and students in such diverse fields as psychology, the sociology and philosophy of education, intercultural education, education policy and politics, leadership/management, mental health, and international and comparative education.

This edited volume takes the US-derived concept and praxis of funds of knowledge and applies it globally to critically analyse current education in line with social justice, antiracism, and culturally sustaining pedagogies.Edited by one of the premier international voices for the funds of knowledge approach, and in particular funds of identity theory, chapters foreground first-hand, participatory, research-practice experiences with learners, schools, and local communities. These experiences demonstrate the positive, social-justice inspired pedagogical actions that result in, and reveal, powerful possibilities for a decolonialised, antiracist praxis that aims to eradicate deficit thinking in education. Further, the inclusion of voices that are typically "othered" in the construction and distribution of academic knowledge make this a seminal volume in the field.Ultimately, the volume will be of interest to scholars, students, and researchers working in the sociology of education, psychology of education, and those specifically dealing with antiracism, decolonialism, and equity within education.

Faculty, graduate students, researchers, and professionals in the field will come away with a conceptually and methodologically sound understanding of the interrelationships between personal characteristics, culture, ecological contexts, and school climate.

Centered around the idea that literacy teaching is more than the transmission of strategies and skills, this volume serves as a foundation for approaching literacy from an identity perspective. Through incisive and accessible chapters from top scholars, it introduces readers to the concept of literate identities, examining them across ages and grade levels to present an overview of how scholars and educators can use this concept in their research and teaching.Organized by developmental level with sections on early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, and cross-age research, contributors reveal how literacy can be framed as an identity practice to engage students and support their development. Applying a range of theoretical perspectives and frameworks, each chapter identifies the identity theory used, explains the relevant methodology and research questions, covers implications for practice, and includes questions or prompts for discussion. The volume reveals how understanding literate identities is at the heart of effective and inclusive literacy instruction by addressing key topics, including culturally relevant pedagogy, intersectionality, and transnationalism, among others. Illuminating multiple pathways to understanding students as readers and writers, this book is essential for teachers, scholars, and researchers in literacy education, research methods, and multicultural education.

Bogen henvender sig til alle, der er interesseret i folkeskolen. Den rejser nemlig reelt nogle centrale spørgsmål, der må interessere enhver, der mener, at kvaliteten af vore børn og unges skole- og uddannelsestilbud har stor samfundsmæssig betydning. Den henvender sig derfor også til skolesystemets professionelle brugere.Denne bog kaster et kritisk blik på det samlede danske skolesystem og på de pædagogiske, didaktiske m.v. overvejelser, der må anses for nødvendige for at give børn og studerende et meningsfuldt udbytte af undervisningen. Som pædagogisk manifest kalder den ikke kun til opgør med en skolekultur, der er præget af vanetænkning og de dermed forbundne blinde pletter. Den viser også en vej ud af krisen og peger på muligheder, der er realisable for den enkelte lærer. Det pointeres, at læreren ikke kun ser sig formelt forpligtet på at udfolde indholdet i de givne love og bekendtgørelser for skoleområdet, men også føler sig etisk ansvarlig for, at undervisningen kan honorere de krav, som børn og unge i dag stiller. Poul-Erik Feldstedt, redaktørMed manifestet præsterer Carlo Grevy en storstilet indsats for at vække Tornerose af søvnen. I langt over 100 år har hun hvilet i en forestillingsverden, som hverken er tryg eller god. Men alligevel føles denne verden for mange undervisere tryggere end at tage springet fra det vante. Hvordan kommer vi videre? Grevy viser med eksempler, hvad en formålsstyret og livsnær undervisning kan være. I valget af metode, som kan betegnes som hermeneutisk, går Grevy tæt på oplevede situationer. Det bringer læseren tættere på virkeligheden. Søren Rønhede, efterord
