Relevant chemistry education : from theory to practice
This book is aimed at chemistry teachers, teacher educators, chemistry education researchers, and all those who are interested in increasing the relevance of chemistry teaching and learning as well as students' perception of it. The book consists of 20 chapters, and each chapter focuses on a certain issue related to the relevance of chemistry education. These chapters are based on a recently suggested model of the relevance of science education, encompassing individual, societal, and vocational relevance, its present and future implications, as well as its intrinsic and extrinsic aspects. \"Two highly distinguished chemical educators, Ingo Eilks and Avi Hofstein, have brought together 40 internationally renowned colleagues from 16 countries to offer an authoritative view of chemistry teaching today. Between them, the authors, in 20 chapters, give an exceptional description of the current state of chemical education and signpost the future in both research and in the classroom. There is special emphasis on the many attempts to enthuse students with an understanding of the central science, chemistry, which will be helped by having an appreciation of the role of the science in todays world. Themes which transcend all education such as collaborative work, communication skills, attitudes, inquiry learning and teaching, and problem solving are covered in detail and used in the context of teaching modern chemistry. The book is divided into four parts which describe the individual, the societal, the vocational and economic, and the non-formal dimensions and the editors bring all the disparate leads into a coherent narrative, that will be highly satisfying to experienced and new researchers and to teachers with the daunting task of teaching such an intellectually demanding subject. Just a brief glance at the index and the references will convince anyone interested in chemical education that this book is well worth studying; it is scholarly and readable and has tackled the most important issues in chemical education today and in the foreseeable future.\" - Professor David Waddington, Emeritus Professor in Chemistry Education, University of York, United Kingdom.

Relevance and Irrelevance: Theories, Factors and Challenges
Die verbreiteten Begriffe 'Informationsgesellschaft' und 'Age of Access' suggerieren die problemlose allseitige Zugänglichkeit von Information. Doch Information ist in der Realität in vielerlei Hinsicht unzugänglich - physisch, wirtschaftlich, intellektuell, sprachlich, politisch, technisch. Zudem entstehen täglich neue Techniken und Praktiken der Zugänglichmachung. Schließlich zeigen sich in verschiedenen Bereichen die Grenzen der Forderung nach Zugänglichkeit. Diese neue Buchreihe bringt Wissenschaftler und Praktiker verschiedenster Prägung zusammen, um die verschiedenen Dimensionen der Unzugänglichkeit von Information auszuloten sowie Prinzipien und Techniken ihrer praktischen und gesellschaftlichen Überwindung aufzuzeigen, aber auch notwendige Grenzen der Zugänglichkeit deutlich zu machen.Herausgegeben von André Schüller-Zwierlein, Universitätsbibliothek Regensburg.Editorial Board: Prof. Dr. Herbert Burkert(Informationsrecht, Universität St. Gallen) Dr. Klaus Ceynowa(Stv.

Relevance and Irrelevance
The buzzwords \"Information Society\" and \"Age of Access\" suggest that information is now universally accessible without any form of hindrance. Indeed, the German constitution calls for all citizens to have open access to information. Yet in reality, there are multifarious hurdles to information access - whether physical, economic, intellectual, linguistic, political, or technical. Thus, while new methods and practices for making information accessible arise on a daily basis, we are nevertheless confronted by limitations to information access in various domains. This new book series assembles academics and professionals in various fields in order to illuminate the various dimensions of information's inaccessability. While the series discusses principles and techniques for transcending the hurdles to information access, it also addresses necessary boundaries to accessability.

Contemporary culture
Are the humanities still relevant today? In the context of pervasive economic liberalism and shrinking budgets, the exigency of humanities research for society is increasingly put into question. The editors of this book claim that the humanities matter more than ever. With Contemporary Culture, they show that the field has moved into new directions in the study of art and culture, while maintaining at the same time its core values: critical thinking, historical consciousness and analytical distance. Bringing together essays by leading experts and promising young scholars, the book opens up new ways of understanding contemporary cultural practices as well as the future of humanities research.
