Ben E. Dickerson  Dennis Myers  Wayne C. Seelbach 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(5):349-357

This paper examines some reasons for underutilization of elders and suggests an educational brokerage system as a means of maximizing their educational contributions and rewards. A case study of an emerging brokerage system is presented.  相似文献

Special education and the law in the United States: Implications for Australian educators     

Tony Shaddock 《International Journal of Disability, Development & Education》1977,24(2):59-64

Recent legislation in the United States aims to revolutionize educational services for handicapped pupils. The principles of this Act, Public Law 94‐142, are examined and possible implications are discussed. The point is made that legal solutions to educational problems can pose many additional problems. However the implementation of this Law warrants the close attention of Australian educators.  相似文献

Learning From Them Learning From Us. Participating in Citizenship Through a School/District Council Partnership Project     

Tony Rea  Orlando Rutter 《Pastoral Care in Education》2003,21(4):22-26

This paper identifies a number of problems facing school councils and examines their possible remit and function. It outlines a project aimed at improving school councils in a rural community college by fostering links with the local district council. The paper summarizes research aimed at understanding the authors' particular concept of participation and responsible action. They describe work undertaken with pupils and adults involved in this project. It concludes that as well as improving the school councils, such work can provide benefits to both partners by widening pupils' understanding of the functions of local government and providing an opportunity for councillors and council officers to connect with young peoples' perspectives.  相似文献

Balancing difference and the common good: lessons from a post‐conflict society     

Tony Gallagher 《Compare》2005,35(4):429-442

Northern Ireland endured a quarter century of political violence from 1969 until the declaration of ceasefires in 1994. Although a political settlement was signed in 1998, the actual implementation of agreed institutions has proved to be very difficult and the actual institutions have been fragile (and are currently under suspension). The purpose of this paper is to examine aspects of the role of education through the years of violence and in the post‐conflict situation. The education system in Northern is divided on the basis of religion, with less than 10% of pupils attending mixed religion schools. There have been a variety of curricular and other initiatives over the years, but their success to date has been limited. The paper will argue that the contribution of education to more positive community relations has been limited because of a tendency to over‐privilege difference. More particularly, the paper will argue that education has failed to grapple with the main consequence of separate schools which is that they perpetuate divisions in the wider society. The paper will suggest that if education is to serve as a vehicle for promoting a discourse of a common good and contribute to the construction of the architecture of a shared society then a more pro‐active approach will be needed in future. The two main initiatives that provide the possibility for such a contribution are the development of a programme for local and global citizenship and support for partnership activities between schools.  相似文献
