Although Singapore may appear to be the most westernized country in Asia, she is nevertheless a multi-cultural Asian society. Having the most open economy in the world, Singapore is plugged into the global marketplace of education and learning. The development of human capital is used as a strategic economic driver to internationalize and transform education for sustainable competitive advantage. Singapore's education system, regarded as one of the consistently best performing in the world, offers a unique opportunity to explore issues where eastern and western culture, values, beliefs, learning and knowledge systems converge, clash, and at times diverge.This book is meant to extend our knowledge on the role of `learning', often overlooked and taken for granted as the air that we breathe but which constantly transforms our lives and reshapes societies. It is the first book that deals with the dichotomy of `east' and `west' going beyond the traditional learning and education framework to other areas such as economic, socio-cultural, political, and technological dimensions that impact Singapore. It puts together key topical issues and explores the underbelly of how a small 'resourceless' independent city-state like Singapore stays ahead of the learning curve, even while facing increasingly intense global competition where the discovery and emergence of new systems for empowerment and independence and the resulting creation of new knowledge and modes of communication are challenging traditional boundaries between the virtual and real world.

Traditionally, special education has looked to psychology for many of its theoretical resources and practical strategies. While those seeking to promote more inclusive education have tended to see psychology and psychologists as part of the problem by providing a rationale for segregation. However, in practice many psychologists today are developing inclusive ways of working, and are paying attention to psychological theories that underpin inclusive education. Psychology for Inclusive Education reframes the contribution of psychology in terms of its relevance to inclusion and will show how psychological theories of learning and human development are compatible with inclusive education. Part 1 explores psychological theories relevant to understanding inclusive education and Part 2 looks at how psychology can contribute to promoting more inclusive education in practice. Chapters cover: * how psychologists can collaborate with teachers for inclusive solutions * Vygotsky's theories of learning and their significance for inclusion * the challenge of developing pedagogies for inclusion * sociocultural understandings of learning in inclusive classrooms * the role of emotion in learning and inclusion * cooperative learning and inclusion * the challenges and tensions of inclusion and high standards for schools * the practice of dynamic assessment as an inclusive alternative to IQ * social justice and inclusive psychology Bringing together a highly distinguished list of international contributors from the UK, USA and South Africa and including practising educational psychologists, this book will link theory to practice in schools and classrooms. International in focus and at the very cutting edge of the field, this is essential reading for all those interested in the development of inclusive education.

This level of self-awareness is, however, often neglected in research, despite the centrality of the researcher to their work. Doing Practice-based Research in Therapy: A Reflexive Approach makes the vital link between practical research skills and self-awareness, critical reflection and personal development in practice-based research. Starting with a clear introduction to the theory, practice and debates surrounding this type of research, the book then guides the reader step-by-step through the practicalities of the research process, encouraging them to reflect upon and evaluate their practice at each stage. The book: - incorporates case studies throughout to illustrate different methodological approaches - uses real life examples from students conducting practice-based psychotherapy research - includes exercises, chapter objectives, end-of-chapter questions and suggestions for further reading to help consolidate learning - encourages ongoing personal development by introducing personal development planning (PDP) and lifelong learning in the field of research.

  The Law of Succession in South Africa, second edition, introduces LLB students to the general principles of the law of succession within a South African context.  Integrating the common law, statutory law, constitutional perspectives, and the related customary law principles, the text provides thorough and informative coverage of the essential materials in a concise and accessible resource. The content is updated to reflect recent cases and developments such as the Reform of Customary Law of Succession and Regulation of Related Matters Act, 11 of 2009.  The text supports learning and the development of independent academic skills through various pedagogical features which bring an applied, critical and reflective approach to the content. Students will also find useful special features included to encourage independent and critical thinking and to broaden their understanding and perspectives.  An expanded test bank and PowerPoint slide presentation complement the offering, and are available to lecturers to support conceptualisation, enrich teaching and learning, and encourage the development of research skills.  This book is suited as core course material for courses in the law of succession at the undergraduate level of the LLB degree. It may also be a useful resource for post-graduate courses and legal practitioners wishing to clarify new or foundational principles of the field.
