Innovative Strategies for Accelerated Human Resources Development in South Asia

Teacher Professional Development: Special Focus on Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka

Significant investments have been made to modernize and improve the provision of education services. Strengthening teacher development has been a key component of these investments. However, programs on teacher development have provided mixed results. This report adopts a 360-degree perspective to review the current status of teacher development, demand and supply, and performance management in five countries from the South Asia region including Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, with limited reference to Bhutan and Maldives. It probes beyond teacher in-service training and teacher job conditions, and investigates systemic and structural issues. Continued investment may not be the best option to improve the quality and supply of teachers, and so the challenge is how to leverage resources to meet the demand.

MANAJEMEN KURIKULUM

Konsep Prinsip dan Aplikasinya di Sekolah/Madrasah

Tuntutan untuk melakukan pembaharuan pendidikan yang sesuai dengan kemajuan zaman, serta perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, telah melahirkan suatu cabang disiplin keilmuan yang relatif baru dan semula dikenal sebagai Manajemen Pendidikan. Manajemen Pendidikan didefinisikan sebagai teori dan praktek dalam perancangan, pengembangan, pemanfaatan, pengelolaan, dan evaluasi proses dan sumber untuk keperluan pendidikan. Dalam bidang manajemen pendidikan mikro di tingkat sekolah/madrasah telah dikembangkan sejumlah teori dan praktek manajemen yang bersifat preskriptif, misalnya manajemen kelembagaan organisasi, ketatausahaan, ketenagaan, kurikulum pembelajaran, mutu, sarana/parasana, keuangan, komunikasi dan informasi, layanan khusus, kewiarauasahaan, humas, dan manajemen pemasaran. Mengingat bahwa pendidikan itu merupakan suatu sistem dengan komponen-komponen yang saling berkaitan, maka keseluruhan sistem harus sesuai dengan ketentuan yang diharapkan atau standar. Untuk itu masing-masing komponen dalam sistem harus sesuai dengan standar yang ditentukan bersama. Untuk menciptakan pendidikan yang berkualitas, maka seluruh komponen-komponen pendidikan mestilah berkualitas. Diantara komponen yang sangat penting untuk menuju pendidikan yang berkualitas itu adalah adanya kurikulum skolah/madrasah yang dibuat oleh madrasah sebagai sebuah pedoman dan arah dalam menciptakan proses pendidikan yang berkualitas. Bila dikaitkan dengan pengelolaan pendidikan, kurikulum yang dimaksud adalah adalah seperangkat rencana dan pengaturan mengenai tujuan, isi dan bahan pelajaran serta cara yang digunakan sebagai pedoman penyelenggaraan kegiatan pembelajaran untuk mencapai tujuan pendidikan tertentu. Tujuan tertentu ini meliputi tujuan pendidikan nasional serta kesesuaian dengan kekhasan, kondisi dan potensi daerah, satuan pendidikan dan peserta didik. Oleh sebab itu kurikulum disusun oleh satuan pendidikan untuk memungkinkan penyesuaian program pendidikan dengan kebutuhan dan potensi yang ada di daerah. Dalam konteks inilah buku “Manjemen Kurikulum Madrasah” ini hadir, membantu para mahasiswa, guru, dan kepala sekolah/madarasah beserta tenaga kependidikan lainnya dalam rangka memehami konsep manajemen pengembangan kurikulum, serta melakukannya secara efektif dan efisien dalam rangka membangun mutu sekolah/madrasah yang efektif yang dapat mengahasilkan lulusan bermutu dan berkualitas, sesuai dengan tuntutan pembangunan dan perkembangan zaman. Buku ini ditulis berdasarkan kebutuhan para mahasiswa, guru, dan kepala sekolah/madarasah beserta tenaga kependidikan lainnya yang terungkap dalam berbagai pertemuan diskusi, seminar, lokakarya. Buku ini berupaya memformulasikan suatu konsep dan cara praktis kepada para mahasiswa, guru, dan kepala sekolah/ madarasah beserta tenaga kependidikan lainnya dalam megelola manajemen kurikulum. Pemaparananya dimulai dengan wawasan pengembangan, kemudian berturut-turut membahas tentang: konsep dasar manajemen kurikulum, perencanaan kurikulum, pemembangan kurikulum, implementasi kurikulum, evaluasi kurikulum, dan dilengkapi dengan efektitas fungsi kurikulum menuju sekolah/madrasah efektif, unggul dan kompetitif. Penulis berharap, kehadiran buku Revisi III ini, dapat memberikan inspirasi dan urun rembuk, pada pemecahan, mencerdaskan, dan menjadi solusi terhadap berbagai permasalahan sosiologi pendidikan. Semoga buku ini bermanfaat bagi kepentingan umat dan mendapat ridlo Allah SWT., Amin.

Private Management and Public Policy

The Principle of Public Responsibility

Private Management and Public Policy is a landmark work at the intersection of business and society. First published in 1975, it focuses on the management processes that companies use to respond to social issues. The text develops the "principle of public responsibility" as an alternative to the notion that firms have unlimited accountability. And, it presents one of the first systems-based approaches to corporate responsibility, providing theoretical support for business involvement in public policy. Arguably, the book's major contribution is its broad outline of an alternative theory of the firm in society—one that offers the possibility of overcoming traditional public and private dichotomies.

Moral and Political Values in Teacher Education Over Time

International Perspectives

This collection brings together international teacher educators to employ a 'long view' of an historic and values-based dialectic in teacher education. The authors reflect how employing historical consciousness to look back can offer greater continuity to teachers' moral and political values within their training. The book draws on research from experienced teacher educators representing different historical, social and politics contexts in North America, Europe, Asia as well in post-conflict South Africa. Within each section, the authors reflect on the development of the moral and political values of pre-service and in-service teachers in an era of global neo-liberalism and how this is inextricably bound up with the narratives of professionals in the past within their own national context. Each chapter takes a 'long view' of the role of historical consciousness in informing the moral and political values of preservice and in-service teachers, providing examples of how international teacher educators can collectively support one another in restoring a vibrant, values-based dialectic within the processes, pedagogies and provision of university and school-based training for which they are responsible. The 'long view' approach offers a compelling argument for the need to connect pre- and in-service teachers' values and narrative to the legacy of professionals of the past. Moral and Political Values in Teacher Education over Time will be of great interest to researchers, academics and students in teacher education, comparative education and the history of education. It will also be of interest to international university and school-based teacher educators and policy-makers in the field.

Reflective Practice for Novice Language Teachers

From Trainee to Teacher

For many novice ESL/EFL teachers the transition from their teacher education program (Cert or MA) to their first year of teaching has been characterized as a type of 'reality shock' because the ideals that novice teachers may have formed during the education program are often replaced by the harsh realities of the classroom, and social and political contexts of the school in which they are teaching. One reason for this may be that teacher education programs are unable to reproduce an environment similar to that teachers face when they graduate. Even though many schools may have induction programs available, novice teachers are often left to cope on their own in a sink-or-swim type situation, with some ultimately leaving the profession because of difficulties encountered during their first year. EVERY teacher must experience life as a novice when they begin their teaching career in a real classroom, and From Trainee to Teacher is the book that will make the transition from the training course to the classroom as smooth as possible because it focuses on the needs of the novice teachers in particular. From Trainee to Teacher outlines and describes a comprehensive framework for the professional development of novice teachers through reflective practice that is grounded in the classroom realities of real teaching contexts so that they can develop beyond their novice years and become expert ESL/EFL teachers. In addition, the suggestions presented in this book can be operationalized as standards for future ESL/EFL teacher education and development programs worldwide.

Language Teacher Education and Technology

Approaches and Practices

Language teachers' competencies in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) are a crucial factor affecting their own implementation of CALL. However, there is still a concern that many language teachers are not adequately prepared to make effective use of CALL or to identify and evaluate potential CALL solutions. This can be the result of many different factors and raises the question of how to train teachers to develop their CALL knowledge and skills to a greater degree. The discussion of approaches to training language teachers in the use of technology adopted in areas of Australia, the UK and the US provides valuable insights for those already involved in this area, and inspiration for those who have some interest in carrying out this kind of training, but as yet have little or no experience. This book explores the current status of CALL teacher education and discusses issues and challenges CALL teacher educators face in their own contexts. Specifically, it looks at postgraduate CALL courses offered at different universities to find ways of improving CALL teacher training. It represents the first overview of a topic that is relevant to most postgraduate courses in Applied Linguistics or TESOL across the globe. The use of technology for language learning and teaching is increasingly common but, as is so often the case, training for teachers in how to use that technology remains limited, to a large extent by lack of expertise among trainers.
