Beyond Interdependence

The Meshing of the World's Economy and the Earth's Ecology

Jim MacNeill was the principal author of Our Common Future, hailed as 'the most important document of the decade on the future of the world'. Beyond Interdependence builds on that report to demonstrate the relationship between the global environment, the world's economy, and the international order. Predicting that environmental and resource depletion will become the primary source of human and interstate conflict in the near future, the authors propose a range of new national security strategies that will lift the 'ecological shadow' and alleviate world poverty.

Building on the Brundtland Commission's landmark report Our Common Future, the book extends the Commission's analysis of the issues of global change and the changing international politics of environment.

Outcome-Based Performance Management in the Public Sector

This book highlights the use of an outcome-oriented view of performance to frame and assess the desirability of the effects produced by adopted policies, so to allow governments not only to consider effects in the short, but also the long run. Furthermore, it does not only focus on policy from the perspective of a single unit or institution, but also under an inter-institutional viewpoint. This book features theoretical and empirical research on how public organizations have evolved their performance management systems toward outcome measures that may allow one to better deal with wicked problems. Today, ‘wicked problems’ characterize most of governmental planning involving social issues. These are complex policy problems, underlying high risk and uncertainty, and a high interdependency among variables affecting them. Such problems cannot be clustered within the boundaries of a single organization, or referred to specific administrative levels or ministries. They are characterized by dynamic complexity, involving multi-level, multi-actor and multi-sectoral challenges. In the last decade, a number of countries have started to develop new approaches that may enable to improve cohesion, to effectively deal with wicked problems. The chapters in this book showcase these approaches, which encourage the adoption of more flexible and pervasive governmental systems to overcome such complex problems. Outcome-Based Performance Management in the Public Sector is divided into five parts. Part 1 aims at shedding light on problems and issues implied in the design and implementation of “outcome-based” performance management systems in the public sector. Then Part 2 illustrates the experiences, problems, and evolving trends in three different countries (Scotland, USA, and Italy) towards the adoption of outcome-based performance management systems in the public sector. Such analyses are conducted at both the national and local government levels. The third part of the book frames how outcome-based performance management can enhance public governance and inter-institutional coordination. Part 4 deals with the illustration of challenges and results from different public sector domains. Finally the book concludes in Part 5 as it examines innovative methods and tools that may support decision makers in dealing with the challenges of outcome-based performance management in the public sector. Though the book is specifically focused on a research target, it will also be useful to practitioners and master students in public administration .

Asesmen Dan Evaluasi Pembelajaran

Berdasarkan difinisinya Asesmen merupakan proses pengumpulan data yang menunjukan perkembangan pembelajaran peserta didik. Sedangkan evaluasi pembelajaran ialah penilaian terhadap informasi dan keterangan yang diperoleh dari aktifitas asesmen. Berdasarkan definisi tersebut, asesmen dan evaluasi pembelajaran merupakan kedua hal yang saling berkaitan. Kedua hal ini perlu dipahami oleh pelajar/mahasiswa dan khususnya tenaga pengajar/guru/dosen dalam merancang asesmen yang pada akhirnya menuju ke penilaian peserta didik. Oleh karena itu tenaga pengajar perlu untuk memahami dan menguasai jenis-jenis dan kelebihan-kekurangan asesmen dan lain lain, yang digunakan untuk menilai kemampuan siswa setelah mendapatkan pembelajaran, sehingga peserta didik berhasil menguasai kompetesi yang ditargetkan. Buku Asesmen dan Evaluasi Pembelajaran ini akan menyajikan materi yang mencakup 7 bab yang disusun secara koheren. Kami berharap buku Asesmen dan Evaluasi Pembelajaran ini dapat menjadi referensi kepada pelajar/mahasiswa serta tenaga pengajar/guru/dosen agar lebih memahami Asesmen dan Evaluasi Pembelajaran.

Self-directed learning research: An imperative for transforming the educational landscape

This book will benefit specialists in the field of the education sciences. It represents significant progress in knowledge production. Self-directed learning has become increasingly important, not only for education in South Africa but also for education sciences in the international arena. This is a result of the changing education landscape, caused by the demands of the 21st century as well as the rapid change in knowledge production. Learners should be equipped with skills to take responsibility for their own learning. New innovative strategies should be incorporated into teaching and learning in order to meet the changing demands in education. Traditional teacher-centred practices are still the norm in most South African schools and higher-education institutions and do not adequately prepare students for lifelong learning in the 21st century. The content focuses on the theory behind self-directed learning, explores strategies such as cooperative learning, problembased learning, case-based teaching and large-group teaching that enhance self-directed learning and the use of blended learning in a self-directed learning environment. The book demonstrates how self-directed learning can be enhanced in mathematics, computer-science and life-science education and through the use of student tutors for geography. Digital technology could, for example, also be used in innovative ways for education in isiZulu folk poetry. The findings are based on original empirical research and a sound theoretical-conceptual framework. In an environment of rapidly changing knowledge production, this book responds to the challenge of how to equip learners with the necessary skills to take responsibility for their own learning. The book presents innovative teaching and learning strategies for meeting the changing demands in education. Group activities, the responsibilities of learners and the obstacles that hinder their learning are analysed, and the way in which educators can support them is discussed. Educational values such as mutual trust are discussed, and self-directed assessment is explored. This is a timely collective work authored by experts who subscribe to the approach of self-directed learning. Educators should discover new teaching and learning strategies and value the integration of self-directed learning in the classroom.
