The teacher's constitution from the perspective of intellectuality
The aim of this study was to analyse the professional development of two basic education teachers from the S瓊o Paulo state school system by analysing sociological portraits that would allow us to build an understanding of teaching as an intellectual function, according to the definition of the American theorist and critic Henry Giroux. Bearing in mind the limits and possibilities for this intellectuality, and considering the public education policies in the state of S瓊o Paulo that determine teacher training and the implementation of programmes and curricula, we sought, using the research methodology adopted and based on French sociologist Bernard Lahire, to highlight which dispositions were constructed by the teachers and how they were configured in the different socialisation processes during their professional career, seeking to highlight interfaces with the concept of the intellectual teacher.

Out of Poverty
Out of Poverty provides a comprehensive defence of Third World sweatshops that does not put economic efficiency over people, but instead explores methods of improving the welfare of those in Third World countries. The author explains how sweatshops provide the best opportunity for workers; and how they play an important role in development, leading to better wages and working conditions. Using economic theory, empirical evidence, and historical investigation, Powell argues that the anti-sweatshop movement would harm the very workers it intends to help by creating less-desirable alternatives and undermining development. Including a new chapter on the 2013 Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh, this revised and expanded second edition also explores how sweatshop wages have changed and how poverty alleviation has progressed in countries with sweatshops in the late 1990s and early 2000s and how boycotting Uyghur forced labor in China differs other sweatshop boycotts.
Reflections on the LOEI as a Regulatory Standard
The book Reflexiones a la LOEI como Norma Reguladora en el Sistema Educativo Ecuatoriano examines the Ley Org獺nica de Educaci籀n Intercultural (LOEI) and the 2021 reform, assessing its impact on Ecuador's education system. Part I analyzes the educational principles and rights of actors, highlighting that the reform promotes equitable access and inclusion, although it faces challenges in its implementation.Part II addresses the National Education System, highlighting the tension between centralization and decentralization. Although the reform prioritizes centralization to standardize policies, the authors suggest that greater autonomy would allow better adaptation to local needs.Part III addresses bilingual intercultural education, the teaching career, and the regulation of infractions. The reform seeks to strengthen programs for indigenous and Afro-descendant communities and improve the teaching career, although challenges in training and sanctions persist, affecting confidence in the system.In conclusion, the book advocates revising the LOEI to achieve a more fair and inclusive educational system, appropriate to the diversity of Ecuador.

The Pedagogical Coordinator
This research arose out of an interest in trying to understand the plural role that the pedagogical coordinator assumes within an educational institution. The more I delve into the relationships and responsibilities of this fundamental part of school life, the more I realise the need to find other ways to contribute to the successful execution of their work. In this way, this research report is based on a study of the coordinating teacher, from the point of view of what is defined and supported by current legislation in Brazil and in the state of S瓊o Paulo, and on reviewing and observing the context of the study, as well as understanding the practices of those involved in this action.
The content of education and technology of its realization in elementary school
In order to improve the competitiveness of the state, many countries of the world are reviewing educational systems in terms of their content. The main priorities of the quality of educational services are the relevance of knowledge, skills and abilities; their ability to ensure a successful future for every citizen, as well as the way of effective transfer of educational information to the younger generation. The textbook presents the transformation of the questions "What should children learn?", "What is the most effective way of teaching in elementary school?" from the historical and modern positions. The author reveals the algorithm of organizing the educational process in a renewed elementary school. Its basis is formed by learning objectives and expected results. The author proposes the realization of learning objectives from the position of development of general mental giftedness of a junior schoolboy.

Boycott China?
In the ever-evolving landscape of global politics and economics, the relationship between India and China stands out as one of the most complex and multifaceted. As two of the largest and most influential nations in Asia, their interactions are shaped by a delicate balance of history, geopolitics, and economic interests. In recent years, particularly after the border skirmishes of 2020, there has been a notable rise in anti-China sentiment in India, with calls for boycotting Chinese products growing louder in public discourse. The underlying assumption of these calls is clear: by reducing economic dependence on China, India can strengthen its sovereignty and promote self-reliance.

Recruitment and Selection of People with Disabilities in RS Companies
Brazilian legislation establishes equal rights for all citizens, to guarantee access to all places, public roads and means of transportation, and Inclusive Education as a right for individuals, from the start of school to graduation and preparation for work. At this point, Labor Inclusion emerges as the subject of this research, due to its growing importance in the social and business context, with the aim of guaranteeing equal conditions for people in the labor market.

Education and Genealogy
Studies on school dropouts allow for a variety of approaches and interweave the most varied perspectives to deal with education, institutions, governments, the market and individuals. In view of the multiple possibilities for clipping, it is important to discuss how this issue is permeated by the machinery of truth production, by subjects, knowledge and their power effects. At the same time that dropout functions as an element that is frowned upon and should be banned from education systems, instigated by Michel Foucault's genealogical perspective, we problematise the discourses circulating in two Mathematics degree courses and how, contrary to what is generally said or written, it is seen as a benefit for institutional progress. Discourses on dropout have produced specific ways of organising courses, prioritising certain ways of student life and helping to sustain truths that establish hierarchies of knowledge. They also make it possible to establish places for subjects, subjectivise them and, immersed in the techniques of biopolitical governance of populations, reaffirm specific relations of knowledge and power.

Team Leadership
A small group of experienced business leaders and academics have teamed up to create an innovative and potentially disruptive approach to developing leadership in the 21st century. The result is a unique, people-centric, and scientifically researched theory of leadership linked to an accurate data-based assessment and diagnostic product. This is the result of several years of study and development as well as many years of curiosity and experience. This is a new approach to leadership development. The authors use a combination of leadership experience, research, and science to move away from unprovable theory and subjective judgment to deliver a definable product with unlimited application. For individual leaders looking to maximise personal development and results or for organisations wanting to analyse leadership and its effects across an entire structure or business, this book will redefine understanding and development. The work has proved that team members' perceptions of a leader and leadership behaviours will define their motivation, willingness, loyalty, output, and mental health far more than the actual leadership behaviours themselves. The authors' application of Emergent Team Leadership Theory, why and to what degree team members attribute leadership to their leaders, directors, or managers, leads to accurate assessments of how leaders and leadership are viewed in teams, businesses, and organisations. Importantly, the work is so accurate that individual leaders can define precisely where to focus their personal development to get the most from themselves and their teams. Even for leaders and managers of the same grade in the same role, personal leadership development and training will be different. This work has developed the Leadership Pathway Audit(TM) that measures the effectiveness of leadership for any leader or any team and will, over time, chart how leadership changes as any factor of the leader, the team, or the situation changes. Each leader, director, or manager gets a unique representation of the perception of their leadership at any time and a detailed report on the data and perceptions behind this representation. There are limitless options for following this with bespoke analysis of an individual's leadership and for personal development programs tailored to their profile and organisation. Equally, reviewing the entirety of a business or organisation's leadership profiles gives an incredibly accurate view of leadership across an entire company organisation, or sector.

Unfinished Business
Writing in the New York Times, dateline Cambridge, Mass., March 23, 1977, A.H. Raskin reported as follows: Never had so many secretaries of labor, Democratic and Republican, been gathered under one roof. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology had invited all the holders of that office since the Kennedy administration to come in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the institute's Industrial Relations Section and the 25th anniversary of its Alfred P. Sloan School of Management. The secretaries' specific assignment was to outline their 'unfinished agenda' for American industrial relations. To keep the appraisal from getting too ingrown, the cabinet-level perspective was balanced by an independent assessment of the state of collective bargaining, labor law, and the economy as seen by a panel of high-ranking corporate and union officials. Unfinished Business records the proceedings of this celebration.
Risk Management in Public Organisations
In a scenario of constant change, agility, creativity and productivity have been demanded of organisations, both private and public. For public organisations, this change was motivated by the increase in the range of services they began to offer society and by re-democratisation. In order to adapt, organisations have sought to develop their governance systems so as to guarantee that they can achieve their mission, objectives and strategic goals. For this reason, risk management has been highlighted as a methodology capable of offering organisations a reasonable guarantee of success. The risk management model presented by the Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) has been one of the most valued. The literature shows that the development of employee competences in the basic themes related to the subject is one of the elements of the successful implementation of a corporate risk management structure. The aim of this work is to present a proposal for a training structure, based on the application of the ADDIE methodology, which will enable the development of basic risk management competences.
Genesis of the Visconde da Gra癟a Agricultural Boarding School in Pelotas/RS (1923-34)
This research, carried out at the Postgraduate Programme in Education at the Federal University of Pelotas, in the area of Philosophy and History of Education, focuses on education in Pelotas-RS at the beginning of the 20th century, specifically analysing a school institution: the Visconde da Gra癟a Agricultural Patronage. The research was carried out using a socio-historical approach and documentary analysis, the main sources of which were the institution's Annual Reports and Student Records, the Pelotas newspaper Di獺rio Popular, the Almanaque de Pelotas, the Almanaque Correio do Povo (from the city of Porto Alegre/RS) and the Brazilian Laws and Decrees relating to Patronages. In this way, it aims to analyse the genesis of the Patronato. The theoretical basis took into account some discourses on agricultural modernisation, vocational education and medical-hygienist policies, and emphasised the education that was aimed at the poorest population in Brazil.
Women's Participation in Paraguayan Higher Education
Gender equality and equitable access to higher education have gained relevance in recent years. Internationally and in Paraguay, women have demonstrated their capacity in various fields, contributing to social and economic progress. However, challenges such as the wage gap and lack of representation in leadership roles persist. This study aims to analyze the participation of women in the National University of Asuncion between 2013 and 2022, evaluating their evolution in enrollment and graduation in undergraduate and graduate programs.
Pedagogical Supervision in Integrated Schools
This book makes a comprehensive assessment of the relationship between the initial teacher training curriculum and the performance of student trainees in integrated schools. This assessment is necessary because the effectiveness of student trainees in integrated schools can be directly or indirectly influenced by the way in which their initial training curriculum is designed.The book also explains the relevance of pedagogical supervision in the teaching and learning process of student interns in integrated schools and describes how pedagogical supervision is provided to student interns in integrated schools. Acknowledging the preponderant role of the school community where higher education student internships take place, the book also analyzes the perceptions of the same school community on the course and contribution of pedagogical supervision in the training of student interns in integrated schools.
Educational research in a normal school
This book is a current conversation with the world and a forum that welcomes the world to continue the conversation, since the topics present are as typical of the ENOI as of any school focused on teacher training: degree process, transdisciplinary training, mathematics anxiety, academic literacy, educator training, hybrid learning, scientific literacy, challenges of spelling and influence of tutoring in the fulfillment of the graduate profile of bachelor's degrees in Education. Each article is rooted in the concerns of the authors, of the authors, and each article is disturbing, to the extent that it provokes both evaluation and criticism and educational optimization at the higher level under the scientific methodology.

Culture by Design
Culture by Design is about shifting focus from solely organisational outcomes and performance, towards organisational culture and wellbeing. It bridges the gap between two key organisational goals: (a) the drive for improving performance, outcomes and staff retention, and (b) strategies to encourage employee wellbeing, motivation and engagement within the workplace. For too long, organisations have focussed on each of these goals individually, with improvements in one area often coming at the expense of the other. This book demonstrates that this does not need to be the case, that what is required is a shift in perspective towards a culture-focussed approach where improved outcomes, performance and engagement are the added bonuses of a happy, connected staff team. You may be familiar with the phrase "Happy bees work harder"; this book demonstrates the fundamental truth in that statement and illustrates that "What is good for the bees is good for the hive".Through practical strategies and real-world examples, this book reveals that the application of evidence-led, self-directed and cost-effective strategies can support any organisation to cultivate the culture they need to encourage the outcomes they want. This book offers a synthesis of theory and practice from organisational and social psychology, neuroscience and systems dynamics, alongside examples of practical tools you can start using today, to offer a roadmap to cultivating a workplace culture that supports the wellbeing and performance of the organisation as a whole.Whether you are an HR director, People Manager, C-Suite Team member or Wellbeing and Culture Lead, this book is relevant to Leaders in organisations of any size. If you are interested in what works when it comes to improving staff wellbeing, how to go about the process of culture change or who makes the tea and why it matters, then this book is for you.

Breaking down university fences
Together with the Rural Social Movements, the aim is to break down the 'fences' of the university, which for many decades was not a space for rural subjects, and where the Degree in Rural Education (EDUCampo) emerges strongly to confront and 'break down' these 'fences'. The main thrust of the struggle of Rural Education, and thus of EDUCampo, is for the democratisation of land and knowledge, placing rural subjects as protagonists of rights, with diverse life experiences capable of epistemic, social, economic and educational enunciation, capable of transforming social reality.
