The Philosophy of Imagination
Combining perspectives from both continental and analytic philosophy, this timely volume explores how imagination today both shapes and is shaped by technology, art and ethics. Imagination is one of the most significant and broadly examined concepts in contemporary philosophy and is frequently understood as a basic human faculty that enables complex activities. This book shows, however, that imagination is more than a mere enabler. Whilst imagination shapes our experiences, it is at the same time shaped by our environments. Some of the most creative manifestations of imagination are the result of its two-way interaction with art or technology, or both. In short, imagination co-shapes us. Bey...
Postphenomenology and Technologies within Educational Settings
Technologies such as tablets, plagiarism software, and learning videos are now an important part of teaching and learning around the world. The underlying human-technology relations that shape modern educational settings have a decisive influence on what education is and will be in the future. This volume applies the analytical tools of postphenomenology to the context of education. In three sections, the contributors present empirical evidence on the use of technology in schools, show conceptual convergences with current theories relevant to education and training, and challenge and reframe the technologically situated subject as the goal of education in relation to technology. This collection, edited by Markus Bohlmann and Patrizia Breil, opens up the research field of postphenomenology to the broad field of educational technologies. Postphenomenology and Technologies Within Educational Settings extends the scope of the philosophy of technology and further expands its repertoire of theories and analytical tools.
Workplace Learning for Changing Social and Economic Circumstances
At the heart of this book is the rapid pace of change, the need to invest in and create good jobs and support the learning that this entails. It brings together a range of socio-cultural perspectives to examine the hard issues in relation to digitalisation, identity, work design and affordances for learning, mediated by the ecosystems within which work, and the workplace is positioned. The contributors take a strong social justice perspective that seeks to uncover commonly held assumptions about where the responsibility for workplace learning lies, how to understand workplace learning from a range of different perspectives and what it all means for practitioners and researchers in the field....
Science Education Research and Practice in Europe
Each volume in the 7-volume series The World of Science Education reviews research in a key region of the world. These regions include North America, South and Latin America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Europe, Arab States, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The focus of this Handbook is on science education in Europe. In producing this volume the editors have invited a range of authors to describe their research in the context of developments in the continent and further afield. In reading this book you are invited to consider the historical, social and political contexts that have driven developments in science education research over the years. A unique feature of science education in Europe is the impact of the European Union on research and development over many years. A growing number of multi-national projects have contributed to the establishment of a community of researchers increasingly accepting of methodological diversity. That is not to say that Europe is moving towards homogeneity, as this volume clearly shows.
The Material Culture of Basketry
The Material Culture of Basketry celebrates basketry as a culturally significant skilled practice and as a theoretically rich discipline which has much to offer contemporary society. While sometimes understudied and underappreciated, it has much in common with mathematics and engineering, art, craft and design, and can also act as a socially beneficial source of skill and care. Contributors show how local knowledge of materials, plants and place are central to the craft. Case studies include the skill in weaverbird nest building (challenging how we perceive learning in craft and nature), an engineer's perspective on twining Peruvian grass bridges, and the local knowledge embodied in Pacific ...

New Waves in Philosophy of Technology
This volume on the philosophy of technology collects new work by the most talented young philosophers in the subject. It is a unique collection that crosses the divide between analytic and continental philosophy, showing that the rising challenges and extraordinary new possibilities brought about by technological developments necessitate the emergence of new forms of critical philosophical reflection. Thought-provoking and rigorous, this book will stimulate and direct further philosophical research for students and researches in philosophy of science and technology.
