Translation Competence Theory Research and Practice

Translation Competence Theory Research and Practice

This book offers a systematic and comprehensive account of translation competence (TC) reflecting on its different models and conceptualisations throughout its development and outlining future directions for both theory and practice. The volume charts the evolution of TC in line with related findings in empirical product- and process-oriented research. In critically examining the different models of translation competence Quinci explores a wide range of connected issues of ongoing debate within Translation Studies including translation quality the revision process and translator self-assessment. The second section of the book investigates these themes at work in the design conduct and results of an award-winning longitudinal research project which analysed the acquisition and development of TC in a sample group of translation trainees and professional translators. The volume builds on the outcomes of this project to offer practical activities for translator education informed by theory and empirical research toward encouraging continued reflection and new directions for translation competence research and practice. This book will be of interest to scholars in Translation Studies as well as translation trainees and active translation professionals. | Translation Competence Theory Research and Practice

Joining Forces Police Training Socialization and Occupational Competence

Joining Forces Police Training Socialization and Occupational Competence

The police their methods and their relations with the community had been the focus of considerable criticism and debate in the 1980s. While there were few books available on police training it was widely recognised that training lay at the heart of many initiatives for police reform. Originally published in 1988 this book based on a five-year study provides a detailed picture of the training of police recruits in Britain at the time. The results themselves have centre stage in the book which addresses questions basic to any working group: what kind of people join; whether they think the job changes them; their evaluation of the training and their officers; their thoughts on new policies such ass equal opportunities and community policing. A direct connection is made between the recruits’ impressions and experiences and their growing conception of what makes for good policing. The book traces how their attitudes to the force and their own roles change as they become familiar with the work and the occupational culture. The formal and informal socialization process is a crucial influence on the standards of competence which lie behind every contact between police and public and is central to our understanding of how the police operate. The author is a well-known researcher in the police world both here and in the USA. He relates his findings throughout to the North American experience which provides valuable points of comparison. The important new material he presents informs debate and will still be of keen interest to students and researchers in the field. | Joining Forces Police Training Socialization and Occupational Competence

Preparing Teachers for Inclusive Education in China

Preparing Teachers for Inclusive Education in China

Focusing on the competence of teachers that underpins inclusive education seeking equal access to education for special needs children this title examines teacher competence cultivation based on examples in China and excellent international experience. To give a clear picture of the context of inclusive education in China the author first clarifies the relevant concepts and reviews the evolving policies and practices embodied in the “Learning in Regular Classrooms” (LRC) program. The study then constructs an analytical model of four key indicators that help evaluate the competence of teachers in inclusive education. Based on analysis of the influencing factors of teacher competence the book elucidates how these factors work to determine teacher competence. Drawing on international experience especially pre-service teacher cultivation in the US and in-service training in China it introduces three major cultivation models and feasible suggestions and strategies to improve the competence of teachers in inclusion. This book will benefit researchers professionals and policymakers interested in inclusive education special education and teacher education. | Preparing Teachers for Inclusive Education in China

Contextualizing Global Flows of Competency-Based Education Polysemy Hybridity and Silences

Contextualizing Global Flows of Competency-Based Education Polysemy Hybridity and Silences

The new comparative research in this volume explores the global flow of competence-based education curricular policy and frameworks for instructional practice. Taking critical perspectives the chapters trace the pathways through which educators and policy actors adopted and reshaped competence-based education as promoted by the OECD the World Bank and the European Union. The authors ask: What purposes do competence-based educational reforms serve? How are competence-based models internationally deployed and locally modified? What happens as competence-based reforms get re-contextualized and contested in particular cultural social and political contexts? In their nuanced examination of these global flows the authors theorize how competence-based reform strategies variously produce hybridity silent borrowing “loud borrowing ” and new social imaginaries. Although entangled with other “hot topics” in educational research —skills and dispositions for citizenship and employment; higher-order and critical thinking; and socio-emotional learning—competence itself has multiple fluid meanings. The authors dissect this polysemy while documenting the pivotal role of key actors in the development design and deployment of reforms in diverse international contexts. Contextualizing Global Flows of Competency-Based Education will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of comparative education educational research curriculum studies sociology and education leadership and policy. This book was originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education. | Contextualizing Global Flows of Competency-Based Education Polysemy Hybridity and Silences

Managing Competences Research Practice and Contemporary Issues

Managing Competences Research Practice and Contemporary Issues

Managing Competences: Research Practice and Contemporary Issues draws together theoretical and practical research in competence management. It provides a wealth of knowledge concerning emerging and contemporary issues such as the multilevel approach to competence the development of collective competence the strategies of competence management and the tools for managing competences as well as the organizational dynamics of competences. Moreover the book provides a critical approach to research and practitioners’ continued engagement in competence management research and practice. Research in competence management has more recently entered an era more open to doubt and questioning: Is there a solid theoretical foundation that supports the concept of competence? What is the contribution of research on employees’ competences to human resources management in particular and more generally to management? Is there not a risk of diluting the concept of competence by considering it at the individual collective organizational and strategic levels? Today is it still possible to manage competences in a world where the boundaries of the organizations are more and more porous? These questions and many others probably explain why a field that seemed well-identified and well-structured yesterday has given way today to new highly diverse analyses of competences by researchers and practitioners. This contributed volume seeks to answer these pressing issues and is a collective means for responding to them. The book brings together multiple streams of research in the field about emerging and contemporary issues including multidimensional HRM systems the rise of forms of collaborative management the intensification of the use of digital and robotic technologies the rise of the regime of remote and networked operations the increasing heterogeneity of the status of workers and changes in regulations concerning work and its recognition. | Managing Competences Research Practice and Contemporary Issues
