Special and Inclusive Education : A Research Perspective
This book fills a gap in the dissemination of practitioner research on special and inclusive education in Ireland.The successful implementation of an inclusive education policy is a process which depends largely on the attitudes, knowledge and competencies of teachers.In this volume, teacher-researchers report on work undertaken within the Special Education Department of St Patrick's College, Drumcondra, Dublin.The studies are grouped around three key issues: responding to diversity, access to the curriculum and collaboration for inclusion.They offer valuable insights into the challenges and barriers to inclusive education and point to ways that schools can address these challenges from the perspective of small-scale research.The authors draw on a range of research methodologies, from single case experimental design to case studies, in order to illuminate the issues at the level of the individual student, teacher, class and school.The book is relevant to all who have an interest in practitioner research, the implementation of inclusive education and how policy translates in individual contexts.

Systems and Innovation Research in Transition : Research Questions and Trends in Historical Perspective
In the last decades it has become more and more imperative for our societies, and for decision makers in all areas of society, to understand the dynamics through which innovation systems develop and through which socio-technical systems transform themselves.As both innovation and transformation are strongly intertwined, it has equally become imperative to analyse their dynamics as well as their interplay. This open access volume reflects on the research fields that have developed in the last five decades to do exactly that.It defines and delineates research on systems and innovation as encompassing the scientific study of, first, the conditions, dynamics and impacts associated with the generation and uptake of innovations and, second, the development and transformation of functional systems satisfying essential needs such as the provision of energy or water.Further, the area of Systems and Innovation Research (SIR) is characterised by problem and stakeholder oriented research.We chose five decades as time frame because we noted that roughly 50 years ago a number of research institutes dedicated to SIR were founded and the SIR area started to grow significantly.We present a systematic history of nine selected fields within the area of SIR (Innovation policy, Innovation indicators, Foresight, Policy Evaluation, Technology Assessment, Production Paradigms, Renewable Energies, Energy Efficiency, Water Use).We also present a conceptual framework to understand the processes by which the research fields have developed. This allows to draw general lessons as to what drives fields throughout their development and how their role vis-à-vis policy, businesses and societies changes over time.It also allows to speculate about future challenges and trends in the SIR area.This is important because, if anything, the need to govern transformation through innovation will further grow in the future, and with it the need to understand the underlying dynamics.

Internationalising Programmes in Higher Education : An Educational Development Perspective
This book addresses challenges that higher education institutions face when bridging the gap between internationalisation as a key university strategy and their delivery of interculturally competent and responsible graduates.Combining international case studies and research outcomes, it provides an in-depth understanding of the role educational developers can play in the internationalisation of higher education and in the provision of an internationalised learning experience for all students.The book situates international education in global and local contexts and contributes to the design and delivery of internationalised curricula in very concrete terms.In doing so, it suggests how academic staff may enhance the quality of their programmes by leveraging the opportunities of international classrooms where students have diverse academic, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds.The content of the book is therefore also foundational for continuing professional development (CPD) programmes that enhance staff competences for designing and teaching inclusive internationalised programmes and include topics such as: An international competence profile for educational developers Intercultural competence as a graduate attribute Internationalised curriculum design and delivery Intercultural group dynamics The role of languages in internationalised higher education classrooms Reflective processes for teaching and learning in the international classroomThis book is essential reading and a go-to resource for any academic looking to internationalise their education programmes.It will also be of interest to those directly involved in curriculum development, learning, and teaching as well as those who have more strategic responsibilities within and beyond HEIs, or who are involved in higher education research.

What is digital communication from the perspective of Watzlawick?
Watzlawick views digital communication as a form of communication that is inherently different from face-to-face interactions due to the lack of nonverbal cues and physical presence. He emphasizes that digital communication can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations because it lacks the richness of in-person communication. Watzlawick also highlights the importance of being aware of the limitations of digital communication in order to effectively convey messages and maintain relationships.

Which writing perspective?
The writing perspective refers to the point of view from which a story is told. It can be first person, where the narrator is a character in the story and uses "I" to tell the story. It can also be second person, where the narrator addresses the reader as "you," or third person, where the narrator is not a character in the story and uses "he," "she," or "they" to tell the story. The choice of writing perspective can greatly impact how the reader experiences and interprets the story.
-
From whose perspective?
The perspective from which a story or situation is being told can greatly influence the way it is perceived. It is important to consider the perspective of the narrator or the person telling the story, as well as the perspectives of the different characters involved. Understanding the different viewpoints can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the situation and can help to uncover different layers of meaning and interpretation.

Understanding Education : A Sociological Perspective
Who should be educated, when, by whom and how? What purposes should education serve? Why does education matter? These fundamental questions of value are not always seen as central to the sociology of education.However, this book argues that they are pivotal and provides a sophisticated and engaging introduction to the field that is designed to open up these important debates.It draws attention to the many points of disagreement that exist between major thinkers in the sociology of education, and the values on which their ideas are based.By involving readers in crucial questions about the potential contribution of sociology to education policies and practices, it aims to bridge the divide between education as it is talked about by academics, and the concerns of policymakers and educators who have to make practical decisions about what is to be done. Chapter by chapter the book introduces competing approaches in the sociology of education - structural functionalism, symbolic interactionism, Marxism, feminism, critical race theory and poststructuralism.It shows how these can be applied to major themes such as social reproduction, the politics of knowledge, multicultural education, identity and teachers’ work.Throughout, the authors emphasise the importance of understanding social and educational values and the ways in which these underpin and impact upon the work of both academics and educators.

Inclusive Education : A Systematic Perspective
This book answers two questions: What does the implementation of inclusive education require of a system of education and all parts of the system?How do various parts of the education system act on their commitment to inclusive educational practice?Decades after major legislation (i.e., the Civil Rights Act, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and the Education for All Handicapped Children Act) made high-quality education a fundamental right for all children in the United States, the dream of diverse, inclusive, democratic schooling has yet to be realized.Nevertheless, some classrooms, schools, districts, states, and universities have made progress.Inclusive Education: A Systematic Perspective explores the theoretical implications of inclusive practice as well as illustrative case studies and evaluation findings from states, educator preparation programs, districts, and schools that have reframed their work around the principles of inclusive practice.Whether these organizations position the work as "social justice education," "culturally responsive teaching," or "inclusion," their efforts lead in the same direction- toward higher quality and more equitable education for all.The chapters will be relevant to graduate students, faculty members, and education leaders, at all levels, who seek a comprehensive overview of the commitment and practice of "inclusive education".Chapters vary in their approaches to the topic, some presenting theoretical underpinnings, others describing practices or programs at particular sites, others reporting findings from empirical studies, and edited interviews with state and district leaders of inclusive-education initiatives.The book explores why inclusion is important and how it can be accomplished.

Is the cavalier perspective the same as the parallel perspective?
No, the cavalier perspective and the parallel perspective are not the same. The cavalier perspective is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown in its true size and shape, but the depth is not shown accurately. The parallel perspective, on the other hand, is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown with accurate depth and proportions using parallel lines to create the illusion of depth. In summary, the cavalier perspective does not accurately represent depth, while the parallel perspective does.
-
What distinguishes the parallel perspective from the vanishing point perspective?
The parallel perspective, also known as isometric perspective, does not use a vanishing point to create the illusion of depth. Instead, all lines remain parallel and do not converge towards a single point. This results in a more uniform and less realistic representation of space. In contrast, the vanishing point perspective uses a single vanishing point to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space, resulting in a more realistic and dynamic representation of objects and scenes.
-
What is the difference between central perspective and parallel perspective?
Central perspective, also known as one-point perspective, is a type of linear perspective where all lines converge to a single vanishing point on the horizon. This creates the illusion of depth and distance in a two-dimensional drawing or painting. On the other hand, parallel perspective, also known as two-point perspective, involves two vanishing points on the horizon line, making it suitable for depicting objects from different angles or viewpoints. In parallel perspective, objects appear more realistic and three-dimensional compared to central perspective.

Is the internal perspective and the external perspective always distinguishable?
The internal perspective and the external perspective are not always easily distinguishable. The internal perspective refers to an individual's thoughts, feelings, and experiences, while the external perspective refers to how others perceive and interpret the individual's behavior. However, these perspectives can often be intertwined, as an individual's internal experiences can influence their external behavior and how others perceive them. Additionally, individuals may not always be aware of their own internal perspective, making it difficult to separate from the external perspective. Therefore, while the two perspectives are distinct in theory, in practice they can be interconnected and challenging to differentiate.
