Abstract:

Cette thèse en didactique de la géographie porte sur la relation des enseignantes de l'école primaire du cycle 3 à la géographie. Elle se place dans la logique d'une géographie critique autour de la question de la possibilité d'enseigner une discipline que l'on peut méconnaître. Plus que sur les pratiques, ce travail est axé sur les représentations et les conceptions que peuvent porter un groupe d'individus sur une discipline scolaire.La première partie (chapitres un et deux) vise à réfléchir, à partir de la notion de crise, à la place de la géographie scolaire dans le système éducatif du prem

Abstract:

Since the late nineteenth century, Switzerland, a self-professed “playground” and “classroom” of the world, has successfully promoted itself as a desirable destination for international study and tourism. The historically entangled private schooling and tourism industries have steadily communicated idealised images of educational tourism in Switzerland via advertising. Concentrating on the period 1890 -1945 – when promotional ties between tourism organisations and private schools solidified – this thesis investigates the social construction of educational tourist place in two different types o

Abstract:

Africa is replete with examples of 'borrowed' curriculum innovations that have failed to be institutionalised. This failure has largely been rationalised in terms of technical problems associated with innovation delivery systems. By adopting a technicist stance toward problems of curriculum change curriculum developers in Developing Countries have paid scant attention to the fact that innovations are necessarily social constructions, and as such are not value-neutral. Their transfer from one socio-cultural context to another, therefore, is bound to be problematic. For a transferred innovation

Abstract:

Population mobility and globalisation led to social, political and economic challenges globally, raising complex debates related to citizenship, human rights, democracy and education. Intercultural education is a response to the culturally heterogeneous societies. As understood in this study, it is a means to address the inequalities in education systems. It is a commitment to social justice by reducing achievement gaps. The challenge lies in translating this principle into practice within highly structured school systems. This research questions how school geography addresses the principles o

Nonetheless, locality studies share with other approaches to local politics an interest in class to exclusion of other bases of social action, and a structuralism which denies human agency.

Educational change in most South African public schools resulted in irregular school attendance by learners; poor performing schools; disputed authority relations between principals, teachers, learners and parents; low morale; general demotivation; conflicts and violence around the school. A negative school culture results in low academic achievement and a high number of disciplinary problems that can result in the malfunctioning of the school. Schools that exhibit a negative school culture experience learners that are unmotivated, unwilling to learn and who demonstrate disruptive behaviour. T

'School readiness' is at the forefront of current Early Childhood Educational policy and is seen politically as a way of narrowing the attainment gap and breaking the cycle of poverty, and preparing children for the formal learning of Year One. However, there is no clear definition of what 'school readiness' means for teachers and children. Without this in place the phrase is left open to interpretation and contradictions, resulting in key divisions between policymakers and the Early Childhood community as to what being 'school ready' means.
