Cooperative Learning in Context An Educational Innovation in Everyday Classrooms


Free Download Cooperative Learning in Context : An Educational Innovation in Everyday Classrooms By Evelyn Jacob
1999 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 079144242X | PDF | 1 MB
Explains why powerful educational innovations like "cooperative learning" do not always reach their full potential in everyday classrooms.Cooperative Learning in Context examines the real-world implications of cooperative learning techniques used in a culturally diverse, suburban elementary school fourth grade mathematics class and sixth grade social studies class. Evelyn Jacob takes an anthropologist's eye to document not just the successes, but also the failures and missed opportunities exhibited by the participating teachers and students. Six interwoven contextual aspects that affect teaching and learning are explored: task structure, psychological and technical tools, interpersonal interactions and social relationships, individual and social meanings, local cultures and institutions, and larger cultures and institutions. In exploring the implications of the study, Jacob discusses how an understanding of contextual features can enable educators to improve the processes and outcomes of cooperative learning and other powerful educational innovations.Evelyn Jacob is Professor of Education at George Mason University. She is coeditor with Cathie Jordan of Minority Education: Anthropological Perspectives.

Convicted Survivors The Imprisonment of Battered Women Who Kill


Free Download Convicted Survivors : The Imprisonment of Battered Women Who Kill By Elizabeth Dermody Leonard
2002 | 219 Pages | ISBN: 0791453278 | PDF | 1 MB
When a woman survives a deadly assault by her male abuser by using lethal self-defense, she often faces a punitive criminal justice system--one that largely failed to respond to her earlier calls for help. In this book, Elizabeth Dermody Leonard examines the lives and experiences of more than forty women in California who are serving lengthy prison sentences for killing their male abusers. She contrasts them with other women prisoners in the state and finds substantial differences. Leonard's in-depth interviews reveal that the women are slow to identify themselves as battered women and continue to minimize the violence done to them, make numerous and varied attempts to end abusive relationships, and are systematically failed by the systems they look to for help. While in jail, these women receive liberal dosages of psychotropic drugs, damaging their ability to aid in their self-defense. Moreover, trials and plea bargains feature little or no evidence of the severe intimate abuse inflicted upon them. Despite a clear lack of criminal or violent histories, the majority of women found guilty of the death of abusive men receive first- or second-degree murder convictions and serve long, harsh sentences. Leonard concludes the book with a discussion of policy implications and recommendations arising from this research.
