Applies critical theoretical scholarship to mainstream practices in science and technology educationFirst volume examining conceptual and empirical issues of activist science and technology education Explores specific pedagogical themes within compulsory schooling (K-12) and non-formal and informal educational contexts Gathers together leading authors, all internationally recognised for their work in the area of activist science educationThis collection examines issues of agency, power, politics and identity as they relate to science and technology and education, within contemporary settings. Social, economic and ecological critique and reform are examined by numerous contributing authors, from a range of international contexts. These chapters examine pressing pedagogical questions within socio-scientific contexts, including petroleum economies, food justice, health, environmentalism, climate change, social media and biotechnologies. Readers will discover far reaching inquiries into activism as an open question for science and technology education, citizenship and democracy. The authors call on the work of prominent scholars throughout the ages, including Bourdieu, Foucault, Giroux, Jasanoff, Kierkegaard, Marx, Nietzsche, Rancière and Žižek. The application of critical theoretical scholarship to mainstream practices in science and technology education distinguishes this book, and this deep, theoretical treatment is complemented by many grounded, more pragmatic exemplars of activist pedagogies. Practical examples are set within the public sphere, within selected new social movements, and also within more formal institutional settings, including elementary and secondary schools, and higher education. These assembled discussions provide a basis for a more radically reflexive reworking of science and technology education. Educational policy makers, science education scholars, and science and technology educators, amongst others, will find this work thought-provoking, instructive and informative.Acknowledgements.- Foreword.- Contributor List.- Preface.- 1.

Prior to 1990, fewer than five percent of domestic infant adoptions were open. In 2012, ninety percent or more of adoption agencies are recommending open adoption. Yet these agencies do not often or adequately prepare either adopting parents or birth parents for the road ahead of them! The adult parties in open adoptions are left floundering. There are many resources on why to do open adoption, but what about how? Open adoption isn't just something parents do when they exchange photos, send emails, share a visit. It's a lifestyle that may feel intrusive at times, be difficult or inconvenient at other times. Tensions can arise even in the best of circumstances. But knowing how to handle these situations and how to continue to make arrangements work for the child involved is paramount. This book offers readers the tools and the insight to do just that. It covers common open-adoption situations and how real families have navigated typical issues successfully. Like all useful parenting books, it provides parents with the tools to come to answers on their own, and answers questions that might not yet have come up. Through their own stories and those of other families of open adoption, Lori and Crystal review the secrets to success, the pitfalls and challenges, the joys and triumphs. By putting the adopted child at the center, families can come to enjoy the benefits of open adoption and mitigate the challenges that may arise. More than a how-to, this book shares a mindset, a heartset, that can be learned and internalized, so parents can choose to act out of love and honesty throughout their child’s growing up years, helping that child to grow up whole.

A tous ceux que la science interpelle, intrigue, passionne, à tous ceux qui veulent être conscients des connaissances et des mutations contemporaines, Odile Jacob propose une collection de livres scientifiques destinés aux enseignants comme aux parents afin qu’ils puissent répondre aux questions des enfants. Qu’est-ce que l’air ? Qu’est-ce que la pollution ? Cet ouvrage d’initiation comprend : -Un exposé pédagogique et modulable des théories élémentaires. -Un parcours pratique, fondé sur des expériences simples, des propriétés physiques et chimiques. -Une approche historique retraçant succinctement l’évolution des savoirs. -Une bibliographie, un lexique et une liste d’adresses utiles. Que ce soit sur l’atmosphère, les effets polluants ou la météorologie, les enseignants y trouveront les principes essentiels d'une attitude citoyenne et préventive à transmettre à leurs élèves.  Janine Thibault a dirigé la rédaction de ce livre en réunissant les fondateurs des "classes air", enseignants de l'école primaire, chercheurs universitaires, membres de l'association Graine de Chimiste, médiateurs de la Maison de l'Air à Paris, spécialistes scientifiques de la Direction de la Protection de l'Environnement à la mairie de Paris, du Laboratoire d'Hygiène de la Ville de Paris et du Comité de Paris contre les Maladies Respiratoires.
