Equity, Equality and Diversity in the Nordic Model of Education
Author: Tove Stjern FrønesPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030616487
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Does the Nordic model of education still stand by its original principles and safeguard education for all? This Open Access volume is a carefully crafted collection of chapters that investigate the different aspects of equity, equality and diversity across the education systems in the Nordic countries. Based on data from various national and international large-scale assessments, the volume provides a better understanding of both the functions and foundations of the Nordic model, along with how the concepts mentioned above are enacted in practice. Across the chapters, data from different national and international large-scale assessment studies are used for cross- and single-country analyses on a variety of issues related to equity, equality and inequality in diverse educational settings. The investigations address different subject domains (i.e., mathematics, science, reading), age and grade groups, but also issues related to teachers and the schools themselves. In addition to these empirical chapters, the book addresses the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of the ideas and tools embedded in the phenomena of equity and equality and how they have met in the Nordic model of education.
Counter-Stereotypes and Attitudes Toward Gender and LGBTQ Equality
Author: Jae-Hee JungPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009406612
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Insights from social psychology and the gender and politics literature, as well as discussions and campaigns in the policymaking world, suggest that exposure to counter-stereotypes about gender roles might improve people's attitudes toward gender equality and LGBTQ rights. The authors test this expectation by conducting five survey experiments (N=6,916) and a separate, follow-up experiment (N=3,600) in the US context using counter-stereotypical treatments commonly encountered in the real world. They examine both political and non-political attitudes, manipulate stereotypes about both men and women, and provide visual as well as textual stimuli. The treatments undermined stereotypes about the gender roles depicted in the counter-stereotypical exemplars. However, they failed to alter respondents' generic core beliefs about women and men and increase equitable attitudes. The results improve our understanding of how stereotypes contribute to gender and anti-LGBTQ bias.

Unveiling the Power of Teacher Education Promoting Gender Equality in Education
Author: Dr. Vishnu Vijayan M APublisher: Research Culture Society and Publication
ISBN: 9392504853
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
Education is a potent tool that has the ability to influence both people and societies. We can build a more just and inclusive society where everyone is respected and given the same chances to succeed through education. Gender equality is a key component of this vision because it guarantees that everyone has access to the same rights, opportunities, and resources regardless of their gender identity. In order to better understand the transformative role that teacher education plays in advancing gender equality, "Unveiling the Power of Teacher Education: Promoting Gender Equality in Education" has been created. This book explores a variety of aspects of gender perspectives in teacher education and offers suggestions for educators, decision-makers, and other stakeholders in the field of education. The journey starts with exploring the meaning of sex and gender, realising that these concepts are separate but connected. We build a solid foundation for meaningful conversation and action in support of gender equality by comprehending the complexities of gender-related concepts and terminology. The historical context of gender in education provides insight into both the challenges that have persisted over time and the advancements that have been made. We recognise the key figures and turning points in gender-inclusive education, honouring the people and movements that paved the way for improvement. This historical perspective inspires us to carry out the unfinished business because it serves as a reminder that we stand on the shoulders of those who have fought for equality. In-depth examination of gender perspectives in teacher education is done to show how they have changed over time. The methods and techniques used in teacher preparation programmes have evolved along with our understanding of gender. Given that teachers are at the forefront of influencing society, we understand the significance of incorporating gender perspectives into teacher training programmes. We enable them to be change agents by giving them the knowledge, abilities, and attitudes to oppose gender norms and biases. The importance of gender-inclusive pedagogy, which calls for incorporating gender perspectives across subjects, is emphasised in the book. Recognising the impact of learning resources and materials on students' perceptions and attitudes, we investigate strategies for promoting gender equality in them. In addition, we explore the critical task of developing welcoming, safe, and inclusive learning environments where each student is treated with respect and is given encouragement. Another major theme of this book is how gender education can empower students. We recognise the significance of promoting healthy gender identities and self-expression, addressing the pervasive problem of bullying and harassment based on gender, and assisting marginalised gender identities. In our work with LGBTQ+ students and families, we take into account the particular difficulties they might encounter and offer suggestions for fostering an accepting and affirming environment. We work to promote the rights and welfare of transgender and non-binary students in order to build a culture where everyone is accepted for who they are. Through this book, I want to show readers how teacher education can help create a future that is more equitable and brighter while also inspiring and empowering them to be change agents. As we discover the transformative power of teacher education and its potential to create a world where all people, regardless of their gender, can thrive and fulfil their true potential, let us set out on this journey towards gender equality in education.

Handbook of Education Policy Research
Author: Gary SykesPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1135856478
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 1062
Book Description
Co-published by Routledge for the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Educational policy continues to be of major concern. Policy debates about economic growth and national competitiveness, for example, commonly focus on the importance of human capital and a highly educated workforce. Defining the theoretical boundaries and methodological approaches of education policy research are the two primary themes of this comprehensive, AERA-sponsored Handbook. Organized into seven sections, the Handbook focuses on (1) disciplinary foundations of educational policy, (2) methodological perspectives, (3) the policy process, (4) resources, management, and organization, (5) teaching and learning policy, (6) actors and institutions, and (7) education access and differentiation. Drawing from multiple disciplines, the Handbook’s over one hundred authors address three central questions: What policy issues and questions have oriented current policy research? What research strategies and methods have proven most fruitful? And what issues, questions, and methods will drive future policy research? Topics such as early childhood education, school choice, access to higher education, teacher accountability, and testing and measurement cut across the 63 chapters in the volume. The politics surrounding these and other issues are objectively analyzed by authors and commentators. Each of the seven sections concludes with two commentaries by leading scholars in the field. The first considers the current state of policy design, and the second addresses the current state of policy research. This book is appropriate for scholars and graduate students working in the field of education policy and for the growing number of academic, government, and think-tank researchers engaged in policy research.
