"La experiencia estudiantil resulta hoy un objeto de renovado interés académico. Tanto la trayectoria de los movimientos estudiantiles como la situación de los estudiantes desde el punto de vista institucional, reclaman una nueva mirada en un período de expansión y complejización de la educación superior. Este libro ofrece al lector un conjunto de indagaciones acerca de los estudiantes universitarios, referidas al pasado reciente y al tiempo presente, poniendo en juego preguntas que giran en torno a las visiones políticas y pedagógicas de distintos actores, a la vida cotidiana de las facultades y a las narrativas juveniles. Algunas de las indagaciones constituyen estudios históricos sobre el caso de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, que ahondan en miradas sobre el crecimiento de la población estudiantil y en las concepciones emergentes acerca de papel de los estudiantes en las instituciones y en la política, a partir del análisis documental y de la memoria oral. Otras constituyen abordajes de las experiencias estudiantiles en los años recientes, en el marco de distintas universidades y culturas disciplinarias, a través del enfoque biográfico. El libro se enriquece con un texto de Pedro Krotsch que ofrece una mirada crítica de las transformaciones universitarias del siglo XX. En forma global, el libro incursiona en los acontecimientos de un pasado reciente y en las coyunturas de los últimos años, buscando reconstruir la trama de discursos sobre la formación y la posición de los estudiantes en las universidades públicas en la Argentina"--p.4 of cover.

The coming decade holds immense potential for dramatic improvement in U.S. education and in the achievement of American children and in this volume, members of the Hoover Institution's Koret Task Force on K-12 Education examine both the potential gains and the pitfalls that lie ahead, informed by where U.S. education has been, what changes have been made in recent years, and what's still required for the comprehensive overhaul that this vital enterprise so urgently needs.Looking backward is infinitely easier than predicting the future, but planning for the future is necessary if anything is to change and by analysing the recent past and present condition of American primary and secondary school education across a host of key topics, task force members in this volume chart a bold course for the years ahead.Optimistic about the opportunities at hand, they identify essential-and feasible-reforms as well as the barriers that must be overcome if those changes are to occur. They offer high-quality scholarship and thoughtful prescriptions for productive policy alternatives.

John Chubb shows how we can raise student achievement to levels comparable to those of the best nations in the world through a radically new strategy for raising teacher quality. He asserts that we must attract and retain much higher caliber individuals in teaching, which we can accomplish by reducing the size and increasing the compensation of the teaching force via technology, abolishing licensing and training teachers in institutions and programs that have demonstrated their efficacy in producing effective, and improving the quality of school leadership, on which teaching quality heavily depends.

The author argues that we are failing to prepare today's young people to be responsible American citizens--to the detriment of their life prospects and those of liberty in the United States of the future. He identifies the problems--the declines in civic purpose and patriotism, crises of faith, cynicism, self-absorption, ignorance, indifference to the common good--and shows that our disregard of civic and moral virtue as an educational priority is having a tangible effect on the attitudes, understanding, and behavior of large portions of the youth in our country today.

The author draws on scientific studies of tests and their uses to show how standardized achievement tests must play a central role in improving achievement in K-12 schools. He explains the central considerations in developing and evaluating tests and tells how tests can best be best used, covering such topics as using tests for student incentives, paying teachers for performance, and using tests in efforts to attain new state and national standards.

The expert contributors to this volume tell how state laws and policies have stacked the deck against charter schools by limiting the number of charter schools allowed in a state, forbidding for-profit firms from holding charters, forcing them to pay rent out of operating funds, and other ways. They explain how these policies can be amended to level the playing field and give charter schools-and the children they serve-a fairer chance to succeed.
