Trata-se de uma obra com arrojado grau de originalidade e uma eloquente preocupação com aqueles que se dedicam ao exercício do ensino, notadamente no que se refere às Lutas/Artes Marciais. Sob a acepção de um livro-experiência, sua trama procura situar epistemologicamente a Educação Física enquanto componente curricular, por efeito os saberes corporais relativos às Lutas/Artes Marciais em seu interior. Na qualidade de uma literatura didático-científica, expõe conceitos sem, porém, concebê-los linearmente, já que se assentada em uma perspectiva rizomática. Adjudica ao jogo (de oposição) uma condição sine qua non para se pensar o ensino das Lutas/Artes Marciais. Com efeito, apresenta uma proposta de organização de seus saberes, a qual desestabiliza os interditos que comumente impedem sua presença no ambiente escolar. Por certo se trata de uma contribuição que fornece subsídios para se pensar e debater o mote, porquanto, quando ensinado, tem superestimado os processos formativos mecânicos e descontextualizados, em detrimento de um ensino diversificado e que produza sentido/significado ao aprendiz. Configura-se, portanto, em uma leitura aprazível e indispensável para expansão das margens formativas.

Though the differences in style and politics between Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) and D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930) are many, they both had formative experiences as teachers. Between 1905 and 1907, Woolf taught history and composition courses at Morley College while Lawrence spent nearly a decade in the field of elementary education between 1902 and 1912. This study reframes Woolf’s and Lawrence’s later experiments in fiction, memoir, and literary criticism as the works of former teachers who remain deeply preoccupied with pedagogy. Across their respective writing careers, moreover, they conceptualize problems of teaching and learning as problems of sensation, emotion, or intensity. The “sensuous pedagogies” Woolf and Lawrence depict and enact are not limited to classroom spaces or strategies; rather, they pertain to non-institutional relationships, developmental narratives, spaces, and needs. Friendships and other intimate relationships in Lawrence’s fiction, for instance, often take on a pedagogical shape or texture (one person playing the student; the other, the teacher) while Woolf’s literary criticism models a novel approach to taste-training that prioritizes the individual freedom of common readers who must learn to attend to books that give them pleasure. Sensuous Pedagogies also reads Lawrence’s literary criticism as reparative, Woolf’s fiction as sustained feminist pedagogy, and their respective theories of life and love as fundamentally entangled with pedagogical concerns.

Educating Palestine tells the story of an emergent educational and historical discourse in Mandate Palestine as a space of negotiation between colonial administrators, pedagogues, teachers and students, one of essential importance to the formation of the Palestinian and Zionist (imagined) national self-portrait. It traces and delineates a genealogy of Palestinian pedagogic and historical knowledge through a combination of oral history, students’ journals and extensive archival work in the Zionist, Israeli State and Hagana archives. It intimately portrays its protagonists, teachers and students, emphasizing the encounter between them and the written text and the encounter between them and the national Other.Through an analysis of history textbooks, history syllabi and the history lesson, Educating Palestine investigates the way in which the old-new politics of identity in turbulent Palestine wrote itself into the past and literally change history. The incorporation of Arabic and Hebrew sources and a juxtaposition of the two education systems allows to highlight the reciprocal relations between the two. The book explores the continuous scrutiny and imagination of the national Other of both Hebrew and Palestinian pedagogues and its role in the crystallization of their national pedagogy. It argues that the evolution of education in Palestine stems from this interdependency.

The research that gave origin to the present work is constituted from a document produced by Richard Shaull, missionary of the Presbyterian Church of the United States working in Brazil, when he occupied the vice-presidency of the Mackenzie Institute, in 1960-1961. Marcel Mendes, in his book Tempos de Transição (Transition Times) (2016), mentions the document, stating that it had not yet been the object of a critical analysis. The present work is proposed to carry out such an analysis. From this document, and taking into account the whole cultural biography of Shaull, it is sought to evaluate its pedagogical contribution, not as explored as the theological aspect in the works of the said author. Recognizing the connection, also described as "porosity" in Shaull, between theology, missiology, eschatology, pedagogy and sociology, in a true interdisciplinarity, the work seeks to map Shaull's insights to education from his theological-missionary journey. In constructing such mapping, one starts with the educator's formation process, continuing with his academic and missionary experiences, considering the role played by his teachers and his students in his role as a social educator. Qualifying him as a social educator in his work, he seeks to bring his work closer to the theoretical framework represented by the work of Paulo Freire (1921-1997), a Brazilian educator with whom Shaull identifies himself. It is followed by the analysis of two documents: a) Shaull's prologue to the English version of Paulo Freire's A pedagogia do oprimido (The Pedagogy of the Oppressed); and (b) the Shaull’s report on the period in which he held the vice-chair of the Mackenzie Institute. The work is concluded, seeking to return to Shaull's insights identified throughout the text and to point out, from them, the paths that open them to an organic Christian activity in education.

It also includes technologies such as chatbots, augmented reality, automatic speech recognition, digital corpora, and LMOOCs, as well as pedagogical innovations around virtual exchange, digital storytelling, technology-facilitated oral homework, and TeachMeets.

Education for twice exceptional (2e) children has proven to be a dilemma for many institutions as these children bring many complexities requiring a diverse and integrated group of professionals working together. As 2e children grow in a setting that can address their need for self-regulation, executive functioning, support of learning differences, and advanced level academics, professionals must continually assess and adapt their practices. The Quad Preparatory School has developed a model that integrates best practices from the fields of psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy, special education, and gifted pedagogy employing instruction in a one-on-one setting adding group work when children are ready. The model uses a curriculum framework providing a context for studies in all disciplines leading to project work initiated by the strengths and interests of the students. The model has been successful in its use of dynamic adaptation to personalize the educational experience of 2e children.

Teaching about religion in American higher education has been shaped by multiple contexts, from the personal and institutional through the national and international. One persistent question concerns the purposes of teaching about religion, from Christian character formation to broad religious literacy as a prerequisite for informed citizenship. As the number of departments grew throughout the twentieth century, fundamental disagreements about the purposes of collegiate study of religion, the ideal curriculum, and the role of the teacher persisted. Contemporary movements, like advocating for religious literacy, “contemplative pedagogy,” and the push for infusing “spirituality” into higher education actually reprise earlier arguments. The field remains divided on several fundamental issues.

Herder develops a number of very important principles both in meta-ethics and in first-order morality. In meta-ethics he argues for a form of sentimentalism, but a form of it that acknowledges a role for cognition in the sentiments involved and which emphasizes their radical variability between periods and cultures. He also invents a “genetic” or “genealogical” method predicated on such variability and applies it to moral values in particular in order to make them better understood. And finally, he develops an ambitious theory and practice of moral pedagogy that rests on his sentimentalism and which accordingly focuses on causal influences on moral character formation, such as role models and literature. In first-order morality he invents an important pluralistic form of cosmopolitanism to replace the more usual but problematic homogenizing cosmopolitanism of the Enlightenment; an influential ideal of individual Bildung, or self-formation; and a distinctive ideal of humanity.

The Bible served as the principal source of religious imagination for English colonials in the seventeenth century. It was that which inspired their radical ecclesiastical, political, and societal reconstructions and that by which they measured their faithfulness to the Christian tradition. It proved to be a remarkable stimulus to the formation of colonial institutions and material culture, and the production of an entire range of literary genres, including spiritual memoir, public rhetoric and exhortation, history, poetry, music, pedagogy, law, and linguistics. The Bible also served as the template upon which colonials worked out their understanding of the alien and the alienating, both among Europeans of differing religious understandings and between Europeans, African slaves, and Native Americans.

<p>Esta obra trata da formação e da educação integral do homem investido em poder ou senhorio, no Renascimento, a partir das suas fontes Clássicas. A influência dos padrões da educação moderna iniciada em Portugal com a Corte de Avis, vai ganhar importância, em Portugal, com D. João II, D. Manuel e D. João III. Como marco de referência da Cultura Humanística e da Pedagogia Política em Portugal, impõe-se a obra de D. Jerónimo Osório, De regis institutione et disciplina, “Sobre a formação e educação do Rei”, dedicada a D. Sebastião, em 1572, tal como os Lusíadas de Camões, ambas publicadas com a licença do mesmo censor inquisitorial, Bartolomeu Ferreira. Estas obras, uma neolatina e outra em português, que abordam temáticas em muitos aspetos coincidentes, são uma referência incontornável do Portugal de Quinhentos, reflexo da sua cultura e da sua realidade. O famoso Bispo de Silves, D. Jerónimo Osório, o “Cícero Português”, autor do mais importante tratado de educação em Portugal, pela sua cultura, pela sua projeção internacional e pela sua lição formativa do homem integral, é sem dúvida merecedor do relevo que lhe é conferido nesta obra</p>

Shakespeare scholars regularly encounter social justice issues in the material that we study and teach. Most often in the classroom our engagement with such issues takes the form of thematic identification and critical parsing. Yet we struggle to form more direct, material connections between coursework and social justice work. This book is for professors of early modern literature who want to heighten the intellectual impact of their courses by thoughtfully using their classrooms as laboratories for social formation and action. Much as Paolo Freire sought to reformat the relationship between teachers and students through his “pedagogy of the oppressed,” this book seeks to reformat the relationship between students and this challenging material in ways that move them and us toward social action. To that end, it offers a global perspective on Shakespeare and early modern literature, including competing “Renaissance world pictures,” non-canonical authors, and collaborative practices. Its 21 chapters describe and model ways of doing social justice work with and through early modern texts, and claim the academic—not merely social—benefits of integrating social justice work into courses.

This book explores the first 150 years of how pastors, priests, rabbis were educated in the United States. These clerical and professions were educated to lead in both religious and public life—specifically through cultural production in five social arenas: the family, the congregation or parish, schools, voluntary associations, and publishing. Protestants, Roman Catholics, and Jews established distinct traditions of graduate theological education during this period of development. These schools placed theological and rabbinical disciplines within liberal arts pedagogies that emphasized the formation of character, interdisciplinary reasoning, and the oratorical performance of their professions. Other schools followed for women religious leaders, African-Americans, and working-class whites that built upon these traditions and often streamlined them more toward Biblical reasoning and vocational skills. All of these traditions of theological rabbinical and populist education were transformed by the rise of the modern research university—first in Germany, then in America. Most Protestant seminaries, Jewish rabbinical schools, and many Catholic seminaries were re-aligned to with the modern university to some degree, while populist Bible and mission schools reacted against them. The result was to limit the professional performance of pastors, priests, and rabbis on religious leadership or higher education at the expense of the other historic social arenas in which they once lead. The book ends with an exploration of how best practices from this period of develop theological and rabbinical education might restore a balance of educating clergy for both religious and public life.

The Spiritual Lives of Young African Americans unearths the ways that African American Christian youth separate their lives and spirituality into mutually exclusive categories, with the result that their religious beliefs and practices do not directly impact their experiences of communal and systemic injustices. Yet this work argues that youth can and do teach the church and society myriad lessons through their theological reflections and actions. This book takes seriously the harsh realities of African American youth, who are often marginalized and even dehumanized within society and religious institutions. It draws upon in-depth theological reflection with adolescents and recent research on adolescent spirituality to examine the crucial role of spirituality in adolescent identity formation and the practical ways that youth negotiate the world around them. Listening to the voices of young African Americans, including activist and poets, pushes us to consider specific examples of fragmentation, including how young African Americans can reconcile their faith in God with their experiences of police brutality and ongoing violence. In conversation with young African Americans, this book also mines the resources of African American religious and theological traditions, and shows how collectively they can help youth to navigate fragmentation and respond to systemic injustice. In particular, abundant life, or choosing the way of life abundant, offers a vision of life and hope for young people who are too often surrounded by death. This work concludes with a critical pedagogy for integrating spirituality and fostering abundant life with African American youth.

TOWARDS THE NEW LIFE Theology and Importance of Christian Initiation for the Life of Faith The book is in equal parts a presentation and an invitation. The subject matter of both is the mystagogical initiation leading to the personal encounter with God and eventually to the union within the Church in Christ, which happens initially and particualry in the sacramental liturgy. Mystagogy was the essential experience of life in the early Church and now is being so intensely discussed and postulated by the ecclesial Magisterium and through the teaching of the recent popes and synods. Within the ten chapters of this book the reader proceeds through the aspects strictly associated with Christian initiation, noticeable in catechumenate and suggestive for further Christian life. It is not surprising then, that the study begins with answering the question about the sense of dealing with catechumenate at all. The response developed in the first chapter covers four key points: the contemporary state of our faith, the need for dialogue in evangelization, the importance of liturgy in the renewal of faith and the obvious requirement of follo- wing the Church’s Magisterium, quite explicit in the subject undertaken within this book. The introductory chapter is meant to evoke interest in catechumenate as such and encourage comprehension of its essence, in order to keep it in mind while planning contemporary evangelization. For doing this with success and avoiding pastoral archeology, we need a competent insight into the main message and goal of Christian initiation. Catechumenate is the first and most venerable model of formation and growth in faith and therefore worth knowing. The second chapter tries to cope with the reasons and ways of the present return to the sources of catechumenate with respect to Christian initiation understood to be the building of the relationship with God. The example of catechumenate helps us to discover, how to learn wisely from the history. This would definitely mean to keep the structure and liturgy of catechumenate as a vehicle of God’s message, which must be interpreted and adapted always anew and with careful and intelligent consideration of the historical flavour on particular stages within the history of salvation and cultural conditions of the recipients. For that reason we refer to the Biblical resources and to the historical examples of catechumenate including its flourishing and declining periods, after which we are slowly approaching the present reinterpretation of the catechumenal process enhanced by the official teaching of the Church. As the result of the latter, particularly owing to the Vatican Council II, we are now dealing with the renewed liturgy of baptism displayed in two liturgical books: The Rite of Baptism for Children and the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). This version for adults is the subjectmatter of the whole chapter, in which a reader can find theological analyses of the particular rites as well as numerous indications for improving one’s life with Christ in the Church. You can find interesting associations among the rites of initiation themselves and astounding coherence between those rites and the sacraments of the Eucharist, penance and other sacraments, which simply means the ordinary life of faith. Deep and convincing theology of the process of initiation proves the inspiring spiritual power of the initial and constitutive sacraments of baptism and confirmation, which may seem attractive not only for catechumens but also for the faithful baptized in their infancy, and even more, since they might have not yet had a chance to see what a plausible treasure they have been conveying in their baptismal personality. How much challenge for further and constant realization in life may offer these introductory events of Christian initiation, yet not sufficiently appreciated by those who have already been baptized and confirmed! We all should submit to permanent re-evangelization according to this primary pattern, which always remains essential and fundamental. Very typical and very post-conciliar approach to Christian formation appears in the communal dimension, which guards and guarantees the ecclesial profile of initiation and prepares a person to be a living member of the Church. The sixth chapter of the book is dealing with ecclesial issues in liturgy. They refer to comprehending the word of God, especially in the context of liturgy, which brings about a peculiar theological sense to it and giving a special character to proclaiming the Gospel, which the Pope Francis calls “liturgical proclamation”. The ecclesial premises influence the responsibility for the fact of accompanying the candidates, who aim at becoming Christ’s disciples. As the Church is teaching also in the theological and pastoral introduction to the RCIA, this is the duty of all Christians, which means: priests, religious and the lay, because the Church is one organism in whose womb the new members are conceived and raised. As this fact is strongly claimed by the Church the method of initiation arises to great importance. The seventh chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the catechumenal method stemming from Christ’s pedagogy and His mystery of Incarnation introducing a very important issue of implementing the Divine into the human. The chapter concerning this method opens a more practical part of the book. The crucial message of it is to make mystagogy a natural and obvious method which is the way of building bonds with Christ in the community of the people who already have these bonds and who are eager to tighten them and are aware of the beauty and necessity of closeness with Christ. Christian initiation is the process of entering the Kingdom of God and meeting Christ up to the union with Him – not so much learning dogmas and moral requirements. This is a special time when candidates-catechumens-elected mature in love and in their attitude to Christ and people, which results in prayer and new way of life. As in the past catechumenate nowadays inspires the faithful in their imagination of love and mercy as well as reminds us about various important details of the paschal way of life, which constitute our baptismal vocation, but may be forgotten and now with the help of catechumenate can be recognized anew, while accompanying adults on their catechumenal way. The book is meant for those who are already involved in catechumenal process and are responsible for the rites and formation as well as for those who are interested in what the Church is offering to all who consciously decide to know and follow Christ. You can learn from this book, what is the nature and specificity of the method suggested by the Rite itself for guiding people to God the Saviour and to the community of His people. The aim of the study is to present the universal way of evangelization, which was suggested and revealed by God in His pedagogy, particularly through Jesus Christ and smoothly adopted by the early Church. This way, which can be called a method, is so complete, substantial and clear that it deserves rediscovery, description and promotion, which has already started in the Church’s teaching by making direct references to such categories as: initiation, catechumenate, liturgical formation, the rereading the Mystery of Christ, the living participation in the Mystery and faith nourished by the Mystery. The most engaging point with Christian initiation is the fact, that this seems to be the most effective way of reviving the parish, taking place on the solid and safe ground of liturgy with the most convincing and objective fact that is our baptism and our new identity born in baptismal regenerating bath. On the grounds of our personal relationship with God and our Christian vocation we can become active apostles of Christ. Evangelization begins with ourselves and in our hearts. Thinking about the Church’s mission, we should have in mind our personal mission within the Church and we should refer to it’s roots – first to our immersion into Christ’s death and resurrection and to the anointment with the Holy Spirit. In this Spirit we have all been sent to follow Christ wherever He goes, not necessarily where we would like to direct our steps, but He would. Let us cling to Him and follow Him! Together with the constantly transforming and growing Church! Towards the new life!

La Escuela Red de Formación Ciudadana para la Participación es una iniciativa de aprendizaje colaborativo, donde se intercambian saberes, experiencias y aprendizajes con el objetivo de contribuir a incrementar la incidencia de la participación desde la formación. Desde su nacimiento en el año 2015, fue concebida con la intención de darle mayor calidad a la formación ciudadana, de manera que se logren impactos sostenibles y mejores resultados en los procesos de transformación de los territorios. La Escuela Red, es entonces un escenario que fomenta la construcción de una cultura democrática pensada desde la inclusión, el respeto, la horizontalidad y el diálogo, que vincula desde el ejercicio de convergencia a diversos actores (servidores públicos, academia, líderes sociales, veedores, formadores, organizaciones sociales, comunitarias, cajas de compensación y miembros de otras redes sociales en la Ciudad) con el fin de tejer vínculos para la cooperación, la confianza y bajo el hilo conector que impulsa a encontrar juntos mejores formas de hacer pedagogía para la participación e incidir en el territorio. Bajo el propósito de cualificar la formación ciudadana para la participación, la Escuela Red desarrolla acciones referidas a la formación y reflexión en torno a contenidos, metodologías y estrategias formativas; promueve y lidera desde un enfoque territorial la vinculación con escenarios locales en los que suceden procesos no contados, no vistos y no referenciados de formación, reconociendo acciones, efectos y actores; motiva la voluntad del encuentro y la articulación en red; y le apuesta a generar conocimientos para documentarlos y ponerlos en circulación y así fortalecer la formación ciudadana para la participación. La Institución Universitaria Colegio Mayor de Antioquia, la Escuela Red de Formación Ciudadana para la Participación y la Corporación Universitaria Americana realizan una alianza para promover iniciativas de producción académica que propendan por la investigación y la reflexión en torno a saberes y experiencias, que nutran las capacidades, cualifiquen los debates y planteen perspectivas comprensivas que afiancen la mirada frente a la formación y la participación ciudadana. Este texto, responde a la materialización de un ejercicio de co-producción que desde múltiples actores y miradas se propone como un aporte de esta alianza de ciudad, que ha venido allanando un camino en el que sea posible aprender, enseñar e incidir para un mejor vivir juntos. En tal sentido, con el fin de orientar dichas miradas, en capítulos del presente texto, se articulan tres ejes de interpretación de la participación como ejercicio de formación y construcción de ciudadanía. El primero la Relación Estado- Sociedad, busca ofrecer herramientas de análisis para comprender la interacción entre sectores sociales que promueven la participación con relación a las políticas ofrecidas por el Estado. El segundo, Subjetividades, indaga sobre la emergencia de nuevas formas de participación activa en sus diversas modalidades. El tercero, Experiencias de Participación Ciudadana, explora dinámicas participativas propias de comunidades, grupos humanos y actores sociales que promueven la participación en sus respectivos contextos. Por estas razones, se espera que esta iniciativa académica e investigativa responda y aporte a la reflexión y comprensión de la importancia de la participación ciudadana y el trabajo colaborativo en red, como estrategia para dinamizar procesos sociales y comunitarios en escenarios urbanos y rurales de ciudad.
