TL;DR: In this paper, an analisis is discursivo y se centra en la investigació docente, argumentando que "practica" is una abstraccion sobre lo que deberia ser el profesor deseado and no se-trata de algo "real" that la investigacion meramente describe.
Abstract: La investigacion de la practica docente y el conocimiento "practico" / util son fundamentales para los profesores y la formacion del profesorado que se ocupan del cambio escolar. El articuloexamina esta investigacion a traves de la exploracion de su epistemologia social; es decir, para hacer visible las reglas y normas generadas sobre los objetos y los procesos de cambio en la investigacion. El analisis es discursivo y se centra en la investigacion docente, argumentando que (1) la "practica" es una abstraccion sobre lo que deberia ser el profesor deseado y no se trata de algo "real" que la investigacion meramente describe. (2) La investigacion es crear "datos", como los hechos para actualizar la abstraccion, haciendo del profesor una clase de persona. Ese tipo de persona es llamada "profesional", cuyas tareas se producen para cambiar los otros −el nino, la familia y la comunidad. (3) La idea de cambio en la investigacion es ironicamente producida para desarrollar la estabilidad que conserva las estructuras necesarias para el cambio. Este conservadurismo esta obligado teoricamente a apoyar el principio de la investigacion que concibe la escuela como un "sistema", recurriendo a la analogia biologica de un organismo que se desarrolla y crece. (4) La paradoja de la investigacion tambien se plasma en su sistema comparativo de razon y en dobles gestos. La esperanza de hacer el profesor profesional y al nino cosmopolita inscribe simultaneamente temores sobre los peligros y las poblaciones peligrosas para ese futuro.

TL;DR: This book is based on a set of critical analyses of ongoing changes in education where issues of transnational governance are of vital concern and the content is international in terms of authorships as well as in research issues.
Abstract: This book is based on a set of critical analyses of ongoing changes in education where issues of transnational governance are of vital concern. In the analyses, the authors focus on different aspects of and practices in educational reform making, with a special interest in governing techniques and the working of new agents such as supranational organizations and multinational organizations. In doing so, the contributions present theoretical insights considering critical relations between knowledge and power, governance and governmentality, and notions concerning educational systems and how these are compared. Since we are working with topics of transnational governance, the content of the book is international in terms of authorships as well as in research issues.

Abstract: Experience and Educationis the best concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education(Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received. Analysing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an "ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.

TL;DR: The authors examines the meaning prominent researchers give to beliefs and how this meaning differs from that of knowledge, provides a definition of belief consistent with the best work in this area, and explores the nature of belief structures as outlined by key researchers.
Abstract: Attention to the beliefs of teachers and teacher candidates should be a focus of educational research and can inform educational practice in ways that prevailing research agendas have not and cannot. The difficulty in studying teachers’ beliefs has been caused by definitional problems, poor conceptualizations, and differing understandings of beliefs and belief structures. This article examines the meaning prominent researchers give to beliefs and how this meaning differs from that of knowledge, provides a definition of belief consistent with the best work in this area, explores the nature of belief structures as outlined by key researchers, and offers a synthesis of findings about the nature of beliefs. The article argues that teachers’ beliefs can and should become an important focus of educational inquiry but that this will require clear conceptualizations, careful examination of key assumptions, consistent understandings and adherence to precise meanings, and proper assessment and investigation of spec...
