New Perspectives on Assessment in Translator Education

New Perspectives on Assessment in Translator Education

This book focuses on new perspectives on assessment in translator and interpreting education and suggests that assessment is not only a measure of learning (i. e. assessment ‘of’ learning) but also part of the learning process (i. e. assessment ‘for’ learning and assessment ‘as’ learning). To this end the book explores the current and changing practices of the role and nature of assessment not only in terms of the products but also the processes of translation. It includes empirical studies which examine competence-based assessment and quality in translation and interpreting education both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. This includes studies and proposals on formative and summative assessment in a wide range of educational contexts as well as contributions about relatively unexplored research areas such as quality assurance and assessment in subtitling for the D/deaf and the hard of hearing and how closely translation programmes fit the reality of professional practice. The findings of this book lend support to existing theoretical frameworks and inform course planning and design in translation education. As such it will be a valuable resource for translation educators trainers and researchers translation and interpreting practitioners and associated professionals. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Interpreter and Translator Trainer. | New Perspectives on Assessment in Translator Education

Understanding Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities in Adults

Understanding Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities in Adults

This book explores what happens to people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) when they reach adulthood. It provides an examination of various terms and definitions in use and a critical exploration of current UK policies. The author brings a wealth of many years’ experience as a family carer independent consultant and trainer to demonstrate the significant changes that a person-centred specialised therapeutic and incremental approach can make to an individual’s life. Advances in medical science mean more than ever people with (PIMD) are growing into adulthood. What is this experience like for an adult who needs support in all aspects of their life? How do we include them in planning support when their intellectual disability means they cannot tell us first hand what they want or need? Too often this group are overlooked or considered as an afterthought in policy and planning. Notions of independence employment and mainstream inclusion are all problematic policy ideas for this group of people. Within one-size-fits-all service planning this focus means there is less capacity to meet their life-long specialist complex and individualised needs. Understanding Profound and Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities in Adults is essential reading for anyone who is involved in the lives of adults with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities whether as a researcher student carer or policy-maker. | Understanding Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities in Adults

Visible Learning: The Sequel A Synthesis of Over 2 100 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement

Visible Learning: The Sequel A Synthesis of Over 2 100 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement

When the original Visible Learning® was published in 2008 it instantly became a publishing sensation. Interest in the book was unparalleled; it sold out in days and was described by the TES as revealing teaching’s Holy Grail. Now John Hattie returns to this ground-breaking work. The research underlying this book is now informed by more than 2 100 meta-analyses (more than double that of the original) drawn from more than 130 000 studies and has involved more than 400 million students from all around the world. But this is more than just a new edition. This book is a sequel that highlights the major story taking in the big picture to reflect on the implementation in schools of Visible Learning how it has been understood – and at times misunderstood – and what future directions research should take. Visible Learning: The Sequel reiterates the author’s desire to move beyond claiming what works to what works best by asking crucial questions such as: Why is the current grammar of schooling so embedded in so many classrooms and can we improve it? Why is the learning curve for teachers after the first few years so flat? How can we develop teacher mind-frames to focus more on learning and listening? How can we incorporate research evidence as part of the discussions within schools? Areas covered include: The evidence base and reactions to Visible Learning The Visible Learning model The intentional alignment of learning and teaching strategies The influence of home students teachers classrooms schools learning and curriculum on achievement The impact of technology Building upon the success of the original this highly anticipated sequel expands Hattie’s model of teaching and learning based on evidence of impact and is essential reading for anyone involved in the field of education either as a researcher teacher student school leader teacher trainer or policy maker. | Visible Learning: The Sequel A Synthesis of Over 2 100 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement

Researching Learning and Teaching with Adults An Introduction

Researching Learning and Teaching with Adults An Introduction

Designed to help the reader move through an empirical research project this book describes how they can think like a researcher. Methods and methodologies are presented as pragmatic tools to address research questions. Research into adult learning is different from educational research more broadly as it recognizes and applies the power of narrative and experience. Adult learning is a localized and highly diverse endeavor and inevitably reflects the life experiences and identity of those involved making their stories essential. There is a fundamental link between adult learning and the lifeworld of those who are involved in that learning. Whether we are considering a community project supporting adults to tell their immigration stories in a new language a university instructor encouraging students to think about the assumptions behind the economics curriculum a group working to re-establish an Indigenous language in a community or a corporate trainer delivering anti-harassment sessions the vast majority of education for adults does not fit the taken for granted assumptions of school-centered educational research. One implication is the need for researchers in adult learning to apply the tools differently. The book is organized in four parts. A satisfying research project has coherence across the various parts (research question methodology methods claim to knowledge) and the parts of the book reflect these four areas. Part 1 is about learning to think like a researcher including ethical guidelines and how to work out the details of a research question. Part 2 discusses methods in a concrete way to give readers a sense of what the activity of researching looks like. This book looks at a range of qualitative approaches but does not shy away from research with numbers as a way to generate knowledge. Part 3 discusses methodologies for connecting the data generated by methods to findings. Part 4 deals with communicating findings and also looks at research proposals. A glossary helps readers encountering new terminology and appendices include a sample research proposal and a sample consent form as well as resources to learn more about the topic. | Researching Learning and Teaching with Adults An Introduction
