2004

Group consultation was used with educators at different stages of their careers as an innovative research tool in the development of both pre- and in-service teacher training for world citizenship education. The themes identified by the teachers were quite broad, and included the need for more educational philosophy, varied educational methodology and the skills to collaborate with other teachers in order to create a “culture of consultation in schools”. Involving teachers in the field was found to be essential in identifying critical areas for training, as well as for appropriate means and implementation. A survey of seminar participants (n 35) showed new paths for development in the area …

The ethics of hospitality in changing journalism: The response to the rise of the anti-immigrant movement in Finnish media publicity

2013

This article examines the role of the media in the rise of nationalist populism in Finland. The interplay between social media and mainstream media has facilitated the emergence of anti-immigrant agendas into the public debate, which has strengthened nationalist populist politics, despite mainstream journalism following professional ethics of balanced reporting.

It proposes the ethics of hospitality (Derrida, Silverstone) with an emphasis on transnationalism as a moral goal for a multi-ethnic public sphere where everyone has the right to voic…

The study reveals that Kosovo teachers reflect strong dominance of pre- professionalism and autonomous professionalism while they demonstrate a weaker reflection of collegial and post- professional aspects of teachers’ work. It provides insights for viewing teacher professionalism wi…

Ausencias relevantes en la teoria del curriculum.

Some significant absences are pointed out in the article about the way in which the theory has been confronting the curriculum, with special emphasis on what happene…
