Education & Pedagogy

This paper problematises the activist underpinnings of intercultural education. It draws on the recent 'critical' works that have unravelled how interculturality is anchored in hierarchical relations within knowledge which reseat the Western conceptions of 'intercultural', 'criticality' and 'epistemology' at the front. The premise of this paper is that decolonial rationales and impulses are constitutive epistemological logics in theorising and doing interculturality otherwise in education. It discusses critical interculturality as a movement of decoloniality that orients education to disrupt power asymmetries. This paper presents intercultivism and de-westernised consciousness as decentering approaches for theorising and practising interculturality in education otherwise.

In this paper I consider the social role vocational education can play in decentring settler-colonialism. Through focused programming located in community settings, these educational offerings provide opportunities for students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Connecting capitalism's relationship to this school system, I contend that vocational education, with its vast scope of subject-matter areas, and deeply embedded connections to the intersectionality of race, class, and gender-oppressions, provide an under-examined opportunity to advance decolonising efforts within society.

This book analyzes the concept of sustainability as it applies to internationalization of higher education. The topic of sustainability is relatively well explored in the context of higher education. It is becoming increasingly discussed by scholarly societies in international and comparative education. However, there is still a dearth of studies on the topic within the narrow field of international and comparative education. This book presents an organizing framework to explore sustainable internationalization in a comprehensive way and offers practical insights on how sustainable internationalization can be achieved in various aspects of internationalization.

State Compensatory Education (SCE) is a supplemental program designed to eliminate disparities in (a) student performance on assessment instruments administered under chapter 39 of the Texas Education Code (1995, amended 2007), and (b) the rates of high school completion between students who are at risk of dropping out of school, as defined by Texas Education Code 29.081 (1995, amended 2007), and all other students. This report examines the results for the State Compensatory Education program for at risk students in AISD for the 2008-2009 school year.

Each student has unique needs and learns in different ways. By allowing parents to plan for their children's individual needs, education scholarship accounts (ESAs) create a personal approach to education. This report presents: (1) What are education scholarship accounts?; (2) How can parents use ESA funds?; (3) Which states have Educaation Scholarship Accounts?; (4) How are ESAs different than vouchers or tax-credit scholarships?; (5) Why choose ESAs?; and (6) How to learn more?

Successful implementation of computer science standards may hinge on one thing: teacher capacity. Without enough qualified teachers and the resources to support them, states will be hard pressed to make computer science a part of every student's education--something that industry leaders say is critical to career readiness. Maryland and Arkansas stand out as leaders among the 26 states that are creating pathways specifically for preparing computer science teachers.

The education sector plays a vital role in an economic, social and environmental context since it has the capacity to transform society and prepare it to adapt to needs and challenges from different perspectives. It is a complex activity that accompanies the various stages of personal development and therefore it is an articulated sector that adapts itself in terms of content, format, spaces, context, etc.

A brief synopsis of the legality of disciplining students with special needs in public education is presented. An example of a case study is also presented from the experience of the author demonstrating laws surrounding providing students with a free and public education (FAPE). Examples of the application of the laws protecting students' rights to FAPE and the responsibility of school districts to insure the timely response of handling discipline issues are also presented.

This report analyses six cohorts of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY), focusing particularly on changes in participation in secondary and post-school education, participation in the labour force and measures of satisfaction and wellbeing over time.

Within the context of this article, a brief understanding of both Physical and Health education within the United States is created. Furthermore, this paper seeks to circulate the discussion around implementing technology into these fields of Education including wearable watches as well as their strengths and limitations. One particular area of concern with the usage of wearable technology in Physical Education is the laws surrounding privacy and data collection such as FERPA and HIPPA. The paper also discusses the use of gamification and simulations in both subjects.
