Book Description
En la actualidad existen en México múltiples programas de doctorado, aunque algunos de ellos no garantizan la calidad de la formación de sus egresados, sobre todo en ciertas instituciones del sector privado. Por el contrario, hay en el país universidades donde la formación de doctores es una empresa que se asume con gran rigor. Este libro busca apoyar labores de docencia en el campo de la evaluación educativa, el rendimiento académico y el servicio social universitario, entre otros temas que contribuyen a la formación doctoral. Asimismo, esta obra da cuenta del marco conceptual de la tesis del alumno, que aparece como primer autor, seguido del director del proyecto y de algún miembro del comité tutorial. Esta triada representa una excelente estrategia que contribuye a fortalecer la formación de los doctorandos, toda vez que les permite iniciarse en el mundo de las publicaciones académicas; también favorece la colegialidad y va a contracorriente del estereotipo de aislamiento con el que se suele asociar el trabajo del investigador.

Book Description
En cada uno de los capítulos que conforman este libro se da cuenta del marco conceptual de la tesis del alumno, que aparece como primer autor, seguido del director del proyecto y de algún miembro del comité tutorial. Esta triada de autores representa una excelente estrategia que contribuye a fortalecer la formación de los doctorandos, toda vez que les permite iniciarse (en la mayoría de los casos) en el mundo de las publicaciones académicas, con el respaldo, asesoramiento y guía de sus mentores, mucho más avezados y experimentados en estas lides. Además, esta forma de organizarse al interior del programa doctoral favorece la promoción de una cultura de colaboración y colegialidad docente, rompiendo con el ambiente aislado e individual que suele caracterizar el trabajo del investigador. Otra implicación que se deriva de estas prácticas es la motivación que puede generar en los doctorandos el hecho de ver publicado parte de su documento de tesis, algo que no es menor, toda vez que los estudios de doctorado representan la apuesta por un proyecto a largo plazo en el que mantener alta la motivación durante la travesía hasta la culminación de la tesis, constituye un factor esencial. Algunos autores han señalado que un alto porcentaje de alumnos que califican para presentar sus tesis doctorales no la terminan porque no son capaces de escribirla, ya que no han sido enseñados a hacerlo por ser un conocimiento tácito, silencioso y procedimental, por lo que sugieren la necesidad de desarrollar nuevas vías de apoyo a estos alumnos.

Book Description
Learners complain that they do not get enough feedback, and educators resent that although they put considerable time into generating feedback, students take little notice of it. Both parties agree that it is very important. Feedback in Higher and Professional Education explores what needs to be done to make feedback more effective. It examines the problem of feedback and suggests that there is a lack of clarity and shared meaning about what it is and what constitutes doing it well. It argues that new ways of thinking about feedback are needed. There has been considerable development in research on feedback in recent years, but surprisingly little awareness of what needs to be done to improve it and good ideas are not translated into action. The book provides a multi-disciplinary and international account of the role of feedback in higher and professional education. It challenges three conventional assumptions about feedback in learning: That feedback constitutes one-way flow of information from a knowledgeable person to a less knowledgeable person. That the job of feedback is complete with the imparting of performance-related information. That a generic model of best-practice feedback can be applied to all learners and all learning situations It seeking a new approach to feedback, it proposes that it is necessary to recognise that learners need to be much more actively involved in seeking, generating and using feedback. Rather than it being something they are subjected to, it must be an activity that they drive.

Book Description
Although climate change affects everybody it is not gender neutral. It has significant social impacts and magnifies existing inequalities such as the disparity between women and men in their vulnerability and ability to cope with this global phenomenon. This new textbook, edited by one of the authors of the seminal Women and the Environment in the Third World: Alliance for the Future (1988) which first exposed the links between environmental degradation and unequal impacts on women, provides a comprehensive introduction to gender aspects of climate change. Over 35 authors have contributed to the book. It starts with a short history of the thinking and practice around gender and sustainable development over the past decades. Next it provides a theoretical framework for analyzing climate change manifestations and policies from the perspective of gender and human security. Drawing on new research, the actual and potential effects of climate change on gender equality and women's vulnerabilities are examined, both in rural and urban contexts. This is illustrated with a rich range of case studies from all over the world and valuable lessons are drawn from these real experiences. Too often women are primarily seen as victims of climate change, and their positive roles as agents of change and contributors to livelihood strategies are neglected. The book disputes this characterization and provides many examples of how women around the world organize and build resilience and adapt to climate change and the role they are playing in climate change mitigation. The final section looks at how far gender mainstreaming in climate mitigation and adaptation has advanced, the policy frameworks in place and how we can move from policy to effective action. Accompanied by a wide range of references and key resources, this book provides students and professionals with an essential, comprehensive introduction to the gender aspects of climate change.

Book Description
"Where does hunch end and evidence begin? Too much is written and said about school improvement - about improvements in teaching and learning - with far too little attention to this question. This book provides vivid discussion from distinguished protagonists and antagonists about what gets called 'evidence-based practice'. Reading it, all involved in education - policymakers and practitioners alike - can proceed more confidently."- Professor Tim Brighouse, London Schools Commissioner The movement to evidence-based practice in education is as important as it is controversial, and this book explores the arguments of leading advocates and critics. The book begins with an explication of evidence-based practice. Some of the ideas of its proponents are discussed, including the Campbell Collaboration, and the application to education of Cochrane-style reviews and meta-analyses. The thinking behind evidence based practice has been the subject of much criticism, particularly in education, and this criticism is aired in the second part of the book. Questions have been raised about what we mean by evidence, about how particular kinds of evidence may be privileged over other kinds of evidence, about the transferability of research findings to practice, and about the consequences of a move to evidence-based practice for governance in education. Given that the origins of the interest in evidence-based practice come largely from its use in medicine, questions arise about the validity of the transposition, and contributors to the third part of the book address this transposition. The issues raised in the book, while primarily those raised by educators, are of relevance also to professionals in medicine, social work and psychology.

Self-directed Learning in Counsellor Training provides a developmental model of self-directed learning together with exercises and methods of facilitating. It looks at ways of managing entry into this form of learning and demonstrates methods of designing courses which reinforce the principles. There is a discussion of the underlying philosophy, the possible outcomes and examples of ways to self and peer assess.
