Those working towards QTLS are required to demonstrate a critical understanding of the Further Education (FE) sector and the role of the FE practitioner. This book clearly identifies, particularly for the student teacher with no prior experience, the social, cultural and political context of the sector's beginnings and explores how this continues to shape and constrain the sector's status and purpose, and the role and status of its teachers. The text encourages critical thinking about possible routes for change and future development. As increasing numbers of QTLS students are being encouraged to gain part of their qualification at M level, the need for an accessible and critical sourcebook about the FE sector, such as this, is essential.

STORY OF A LIFE LIVED IN POETRY
Joan Richardson's hefty biography corrects the persistent notion that Stevens' life was split between business and poetry by showing that the divisions in his life were deeper and more cruel than that. Richardson, a professor of English at City University of New York, has a sharp eye for the psychologically significant detail. She amasses these details to convey Stevens' see-saw life, the uncomfortable alternation between the striving Puritan male and the \"lady-like\" finicky poet. This is the third biographical study in four years. Peter Brazeau's oral history, \"Parts of a World: Wallace Stevens Remembered\" (1983), used multiple and often contradictory perspectives to impart a sense of this complex and reticent man. In \"Wallace Stevens: A Mythology of Self\" (1985), Milton Bates explored Stevens' \"fables of identify,\" those postures and personae by which Stevens transformed the biographical facts of his life.

Scaling Methods
Scaling Methods is written for professionals in the behavioral sciences who analyze data that results from subjective responses. Other books on scaling attitudes or measuring perceptions focus on the psychometrician's view of measurement. This book focuses on the users' view by concentrating on effective ways to analyze data rather than the mathematical details of how each program works. The methods included handle the majority of data analysis problems encountered and are accompanied by a software solution. Each chapter features the theory surrounding that methodology, an example, a real-world application, and a computer solution.
This book introduces the major uni- and multi-dimensional scaling method techniques most common in educational, social, and psychological research. Using four primary methods of data collection-ordering, categorical rating, free clustering, and similarity judgments-Scaling Methods, Second Edition explains how such data can be represented in ways that illustrate relationships among the data and help reveal underlying dimensional structures. Each method serves as an independent unit so readers can pick and choose from a variety of easy-to-use procedures and more advanced techniques. The new edition features a new chapter on order analysis and a CD-ROM that provides stand-alone, as well as SAS supported demonstrations of multi-dimensional scaling techniques, plus programs to get raw data into matrix form.
The text is written for researchers, practitioners, and advanced students in education and the social and behavioral sciences interested in analyzing data resulting from subjective responses, especially in the measurement of attitudes. Each chapter is self-contained making this an excellent resource for use in the classroom or as a self-study tool. A first course in statistics is a helpful prerequisite.
