"Since the early 1960s, Burhan Doğançay examines the social, cultural and political transformation of modern and contemporary urban culture through the use of walls. As an urban traveller, he has been tracking walls in various cities across the world for almost half a century. With the guise of an anthropologist, Doğançay examines these surfaces that are open to all manners of contemporary interventions ranging from posters to slogans, and messages with sexual content to newspaper clippings. Doğançay's works with different techniques and styles, are positioned in both a historical and contemporary ground through their incorporation of the icons of popular culture and political symbols. Fifty Years of Urban Walls: A Burhan Doğançay Retrospective stands as an anthology for Doğançay's last 50 years of work. With works that range from small sized pieces to big canvases, and installations that run beyond the walls, to various materials and pursuits, this exhibition unrolls the background to Doğançay's ways of working. The exhibition gathers together 14 distinct series and periods of time with works coming from different collections all over the world. The accompanying catalogue presents images of works along with explanatory texts, which provide different perspectives to his ouevre while documents and photographs on Doğançay's life alludes to his urban traveller identity." -- Publisher's website.

Innovations in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Learning and Teaching
This Handbook presents the latest thinking and current examples of design research in education. Design-based research involves introducing innovations into real-world practices (as opposed to constrained laboratory contexts) and examining the impact of those designs on the learning process. Designed prototype applications (e.g., instructional methods, software or materials) and the research findings are then cycled back into the next iteration of the design innovation in order to build evidence of the particular theories being researched, and to positively impact practice and the diffusion of the innovation. The Handbook of Design Research Methods in Education-- the defining book for the field -- fills a need in how to conduct design research by those doing so right now. The chapters represent a broad array of interpretations and examples of how today’s design researchers conceptualize this emergent methodology across areas as diverse as educational leadership, diffusion of innovations, complexity theory, and curriculum research. This volume is designed as a guide for doctoral students, early career researchers and cross-over researchers from fields outside of education interested in supporting innovation in educational settings through conducting design research.

"This book presents a tool to assist in the planning, conducting and evaluation of online learning, providing a way of understanding the course development and design process, drawing upon the research and theory foundations of distance education"--Provided by publisher.
Designing effective educational courses is a critical processin much human
learning. Human learning actually occurs from a combination of both planned
and unplanned educational experiences. Unplanned learning, also called
incidental learning, occurs when the learneris actually focused on another
objective than learning and in the process gains unsought insight that increases
professional competency. For example, a learner's goal might be watching a play
for entertainment ...
This book reviews past practice and theory in critical studies and discusses various trends; some papers keenly advocate a re-conceptualisation of the whole subject area, while others describe aspects of current and past practice which exemplify the "symbiotic" relationship between practical studio work and critical engagement with visual form. Rod Taylor, who has done much to promote and develop critical studies in the UK, provides us with examples of classroom practice and gives us his more recent thoughts on fundamental issues – "universal themes" in art – and gives examples of how both primary and secondary schools might develop their teaching of art through attending to themes such as "identity," "myth," and "environments" to help "re-animate the practical curriculum." Although some of the discussion in this book centres on or arises from the English National curriculum, the issues are more global, and relevant to anyone involved in developing or delivering art curricula in schools. An American perspective is given in papers by George Geahigan and Paul Duncum. Geahigan outlines an approach to teaching about visual form which begins with students' personal responses and is developed through structured instruction. In Duncum’s vision of ‘visual culture art education’ sites such as theme parks and shopping malls are the focus of students' critical attention in schools; Nick Stanley gives a lucid account of just such an enterprise, giving practical examples of ways to engage students with this particular form of visual pleasure. This publication serves to highlight some of the more pressing issues of concern to art and design teachers in two aspects. Firstly it seeks to contextualise the development of critical studies, discussing its place in the general curriculum – possibly as a discrete subject – and secondly it examines different approaches to its teaching.
Richard Hickman Debate within art and design education over the past 50 years
has followed broadly the debates within education in general. Of particular
significance has been that concerning apparently opposing educational
philosophies based on subject- centred approaches and student-centred
approaches. These differing, sometimes polarised views are at the heart of any
discussion about the function of visual art in education and are two approaches
which determine the ...
"Although educators are increasingly interested in art education research, there are few anthologies tackling the subject. Research in Art & Design Education answers this call, summarizing important issues in the field such as non-text based approaches and interdisciplinary work. Contributions from internationally renowned researchers explore a broad range of topics in art education, highlighting particular problems and strengths in the literature. The collection features examples of research projects previously published in the International Journal of Art & Design Education. An indispensable and engaging resource, this volume provides a long-awaited aid for students and teachers alike."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE.
This collection of papers attempts to give an overview of the current state of
research in art and design education, as indicated by their publication in the
International Journal of Art & Design Education (iJADE). All phases of art &
design education are addressed – from pre-school to higher education. In
addition to those originally published in iJADE, several chapters have been
commissioned especially for this book, notably those by Kristen Ali Eglinton,
Anne Bamford and Rachel ...

7th European Conference, ECMFA 2011, Birmingham, UK, June 6-9, 2011, Proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications, held in Birmingham, UK, in June 2011. The 19 revised full foundations track papers and 5 revised full applications track papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions; also included are 5 workshop summaries and abstracts of 4 tutorials. The papers are organized in topical sections on model execution, model analysis, methodology, model management, model transformation, variability analysis and ADLs, and domain-specific modeling.
Recent years have seen a proliferation of languages for describing embedded
systems. Some of these languages have emerged from domain-specific
frameworks, and some are adaptions or extensions of more general-purpose languages. In this paper, we focus on two widely- used standard languages: the
Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) and the Systems Modeling Language (SysML). AADL was born as an avionics-focused domain-specific language and later ...
