overcoming disadvantage in Education
stephen Gorard and Beng huat see, University of
Birmingham, UK
Governments around the world want to improve the
attainment and participation of all students at school and
minimise any differences in school outcomes between social
and economic groups. However, money and effort is wasted
on policies that have little hope of success. This book:
• Shows where the solutions to underachievement and
poverty lie
• Combines primary, secondary and published evidence
• Distinguishes between causes of underachievement
that are largely fixed for individuals, and those that
are modifiable.
Including evidence-informed ways in handling under-achievement and increasing
social justice in education, it shows likely approaches, and where further work
could yield benefits.

Educational leadership and
Michel Foucault
donald Gillies, York St John University, UK
Series: Critical Studies in Educational Leadership,
Management and Administration
This book outlines the key concepts in the work of
Foucault, showing how his theories of discourse, of
power and knowledge, and of governmentality offer
a way to understand how ideas of educational
leadership and management have emerged, how they
serve to establish a discipline, and how they construct
individuals in particular ideological ways. In examining
empirical exemplars, the volume offers a challenge to
dominant leadership discourse and suggests
alternative understandings of the field and
approaches to practice.

Educational leadership
Pierre Bourdieu
Pat thomson, University of Nottingham, UK
Series: Critical Studies in Educational Leadership,
Management and Administration
Through a lifetime’s explication of the ways in which
schooling both produces and reproduces the status
quo, Pierre Bourdieu offers a powerful critique and
method of analysis of the history of schooling and of
contemporary educational polices and trends. This
volume explains each of the key terms in Boudieu’s
thinking tool kit, showing how the tripartite concepts
of field, habitus and capitals offer a way to understand
the interaction of structure and agency.

sharon oviatt, Incaa Designs, USA
The Design of Future Educational Interfaces explains how
computer interfaces can be redesigned to better support
our ability to produce ideas and solve problems in national
priority areas such as science and mathematics. Based on
first-hand research, the author offers a candid analysis of
emerging technologies and their impact, with results that
will challenge readers’ assumptions about existing
technology. This multidisciplinary study is grounded in
cognitive science and experimental psychology, linguistic
science and communications, cross-cultural cognition and
language, computer science and human interface design,
and the learning sciences and educational technology.

re-engaging young People in Education *
Learning from Alternative Schools
Martin Mills, University of Queensland, Australia and Glenda McGregor,
Griffith University, Australia
This book provides insights into the educational practices that work to re-engage
young people who have become disenchanted with traditional schooling practices.
It examines the lives of students and workers who participate in education sites on
the fringes of mainstream education. Found within such fringes are students who
have the resources to pay for an alternative education and students who are
marginalised by poverty,other difficult life circumstances or because of their
personality and/or personal philosophies. Responsibility rests with the adult
educational establishment to create ways of re-engaging them and providing these
young people with an education that is rightfully theirs.

EduCational tEChnoloGy and E-lEarninG
handbook of Mobile learning
Edited by Zane Berge, University of Maryland
Baltimore County, USA and lin Muilenburg,
St. Mary’s College of Maryland, USA
This handbook provides a comprehensive compendium of
research in all aspects of mobile learning, one of the most
significant developments in the entire field of education.
For more than a decade, researchers and practitioners
have been exploring this area of study as the growing
popularity of iPhones, iPads, Blackberries and other such
devices, as well as the increasingly sophisticated
applications for these devices, has allowed educators to
accommodate and support an increasingly mobile society.
This handbook provides the first authoritative account of the theory and research
that underlies mobile learning, while also exemplifying models of current and
future practice.
