DURING THE EVOLUTION OF IDEAS ABOUT PEACE EDUCATION, I.E. TEACHING FOR PEACE AT ALL LEVELS FORMALLY AND INFORMALLY, A NUMBER OF DEBATES OR POLARITIES HAVE APPEARED, SOME OF WHICH PARALLEL SIMILAR DIVISIONS OR ARGUMENTS IN PEACE RESEARCH. THESE CAN BE TYPIFIED AS FOLLOWS: PEACE EDUCATION AS FORMAL ACTIVITY (IN SCHOOLS ETC.) PEACE EDUCATION FROM TOP-DOWN VIA GOVERNMENT, SYLLABI, HEADS, LOCAL AUTHORITIES PEACE STUDIES AS A SUBJECT OR SPECIFIED AREA (PEACE STUDIES) IN CURRICULUM PEACE AS A BROAD CONCEPT NOT JUST WAR, DISARMAMENT ETC. BUT POSITIVE, INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY CONCERNS PEACE EDUCATION AS A LONG TERM PROCESS OF VALUE CHANGE RAISING OF CRITICAL AWARENESS (ATTITUDES) PEACE EDUCATION AS INFORMAL ACTIVITY (GENERAL PUBLIC-CONSCIOUSNESS-RAISING) PEACE EDUCATION FROM THE BOTTOM-UP THROUGH POPULAR AND COMMUNITY INITIATIVES, INDIVIDUALS (INCLUDING PARENTS, TEACHERS) AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS, PEACE GROUPS PEACE EDUCATION ACROSS THE CURRICULUM IN ALL DISCIPLINES AND BEYOND PEACE EDUCATION (NARROW CONCEPT) AS FUNDAMENTALLY 'DISARMAMENT EDUCATION', INFORMATION ON THE NUCLEAR THREAT ETC. PEACE EDUCATION AS A SHORT TERM AND INFORMATION-GIVING EXERCISE

The existence of minorities will grow in most countries of the world because of sociopolitical upheaval and economic crisis, both of which result in waves of migration. Contributors to this volume discuss the task of education to alleviate the problems arising from the mix of peoples of various ethnic, cultural, linguistic, and religious backgrounds.||No education system alone can create a just and equal society, and education by itself is not enough to achieve peace. Nevertheless, educational efforts assisted by other institutional commitments and actions are essential in order to create an a

The rationale for this review centres solely on the need to broaden access to third-level education in order to improve equity and social justice. It is founded on the Government's social and economic policy objective of reducing and eliminating educational disadvantage, and increasing participation at third level by lower socio-economic groups. The Agreed Programme for Government of June 2002 commits the Government to building a caring and inclusive society and to achieving real and sustained social progress. Similar commitments are reflected in the National Development Plan, the National Anti-Poverty Strategy, the National Children's Strategy and successive national partnership agreements, including Sustaining Progress. Tackling educational disadvantage is a core principle of social justice. The issues of educational disadvantage and social inclusion, therefore, are key priorities for the Government and, since taking up office, the Minister for Education and Science has emphasised his commitment to improving participation and achievement at every level of education. The need for interventions throughout the education system is well recognised. It is well established that addressing educational disadvantage requires intervention in the context of a continuum of provision from early childhood through to adulthood. Successive governments, of all political persuasions, have recognised this fact and have introduced a range of initiatives at pre-primary, primary and post-primary levels aimed at increasing pupil retention and achievement. These initiatives are currently being reviewed in order to ensure that individuals are enabled to obtain the appropriate supports they require to maximise the benefit they derive from the education system.

In an effort to meet the demands of industry within society, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education has been a major push for the United States Government resulting in public school system reform. As STEM education begins to become integrated across disciplines and special areas of public schools, and the population of inclusive classrooms containing Students with Disabilities continues to rise, a very important question must be fully investigated and answered. We must ask: Do first year Secondary STEM Education and Special Education teachers have the instructional preparedness to effectively teach all populations of students within their classrooms? And do STEM education and Special Education teachers have the appropriate content credentials to effectively support the diverse needs of students and curriculum in an inclusive STEM education class? This dissertation consists of two research studies that examine Special Education and STEM Education teachers preparedness (coursework and professional development) and content credentials to educate Students with Disabilities within an inclusive STEM Education classroom. This study will be utilizing a secondary analysis of the 2011- 2012 School and Staffing Survey Teacher Questionnaire (SASS TQ) datasets to conduct national analysis of how Special Education and STEM Education teachers degrees, state-level certification areas, and professional development participation reflect potential indicators of preparedness to educate in an inclusive STEM education classroom. The first study focuses on well-known approaches for the instruction of STEM Education and Special Education. This study will utilize differentiated instruction, behavior management, and data to drive instruction as best classroom approaches to instruction to determine their identifiable differences in instructional preparedness among first year STEM educators and first year Special Education teachers. The second study utilizes the 2011-2012 SASS TQ datasets to analyze Special Educators credentials to teach STEM compared to STEM educators credentials to teach Special Education. This study will analyze and compare credentials and backgrounds of STEM educators and Special Educators in search of indicators for preparedness for Inclusive STEM education. ; Ph. D.

Education is the key to risk reduction, be it environmental management or disaster risk reduction, and is a process which needs to be embedded at different levels of management and practices to collectively reduce the risk. While school education forms the foundations of the knowledge cycle, for effective knowledge use, it is necessary to link school and community education. Education is linked to enhanced awareness and a key reflection of education is seen in terms of actions. Divided into four sections this book begins with an informative introduction to the subject of disaster risk reduction education and proceeds to highlight key places of education such as family, community, school, and higher education. It then examines approaches, methods and tools before providing a future perspective and pointing to the way ahead. This is the first book of its kind on disaster risk reduction education. A ready reference for practitioners in the field this book describes and demonstrates different aspects of education in an easy-to-understand form with current academic research and practical field experiences included throughout.

During the last five years higher education research in Germany seems to be in a significant upturn. This is a side effect partly of the obvious boom of empirical educational research in general and partly of the reform movement that has affected the German higher education system since middle of the 1990s. The demand for data in the field of higher education will increase considerably in future. The available data infrastructure for higher education research in Germany consists of two complementary main sources: on the one hand the official higher education statistics, on the other hand survey-based research. All in all, there are no serious or principle obstacles to access to the available data stock. Access in particular to some of the most important surveys could be improved by the establishment of a Forschungsdatenzentrum at HIS Hochschul-Informations-System. Furthermore, there are some deficiencies in the present data provision. New topics and demands of data provision have to be integrated into official statistics and survey based research – e.g. such issues as migration status, competencies, lifelong learning, quality of studies, institutional effects, international mobility, programs to promote younger scholars etc.. In particular there is a lack of panel designs. The very new National Education Panel Study (NEPS) will eliminate some but not all of these deficiencies. [author's abstract]
