The Subject of Childhood (Rethinking Childhood, #38)
by Michael O'Loughlin
The Subject of Childhood is a collection of essays on early childhood education/childhood studies that brings critical psychological, psychoanalytic, and cultural studies perspectives to bear on understanding the lives children live.

The (Re-)Making of a Black American (Black Studies and Critical Thinking, #51)
by Chonika Coleman-King
Historically, Blacks in the United States have been treated as a homogenous group with little regard for distinctions in ethnicity and immigrant status. However, the growing number of Black immigrants to the United States, and their location at the intersection of immigrant opportunity and racial barriers, has prompted increased interest in the group's integration experiences. Grounded in the notion that racism is an inescapable marker of the Black experience in the United States, The (Re-)Makin...
Les programmes scolaires accordent aujourd'hui une place importante a l'argumentation, comme objet d'apprentissage mais aussi comme demarche critique, propice au developpement d'une posture citoyenne. Cet interet est legitime au vu des recherches recentes en education. L'observation des pratiques en classe montre toutefois que l'argumentation est une activite complexe, qui necessite la coordination d'habiletes cognitives et relationnelles, et sensible aux contextes dans lesquels elle se deploie....

Die kulturhistorische Theorie steht fur einen sozialen Begriff von Behinderung. Jede Beeintrachtigung wird erst durch den gesellschaftlichen Kontext zur Behinderung. Sie ist abhangig von den sozialen Lebensbedingungen, von den Lern-, Bildungs- und Entwicklungsmoeglichkeiten, die dem Menschen offen stehen oder ihm vorenthalten werden. Fur die Behindertenpadagogik ist daher die Reflexion auf die Bedingungen und Strukturen entscheidend, unter denen Behinderung erst entsteht. Ihre Analyse ist zuglei...

Every father can make a huge difference in his daughter’s life. As the primary male role model in a girl’s life, fathers influence their daughters in profound ways, from how they see themselves to what they come to expect from men and the world at large. But men often don’t realize the importance of their interactions or may shy away from too close involvement because of their inexperience, or conditioning. Especially as girls move into adolescence, fathers may find themselves feeling distant f...

Uniquely presenting a collaborative approach to research, this book illuminates the potential for change that lies in therapy that engages both heart and mind between patient and therapist, as well as demonstrating how la...

Ferner werden die entwicklungspsychologischen Voraussetzungen der Vertrauensbildung mit den relativ stabilen interindividuellen Unterschieden in der dispositionellen Vertrauens- bzw. Misstrauenstendenz verknupft. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Kinde...
