Как хороший человек становится негодяем. Эксперименты о механизмах подчинения. Индивид в сетях общества
Услышав очередное сообщение о взрыве в метро или на улице, ужаснувшись числу жертв военных конфликтов, среди которых в основном не солдаты, а мирное население, мы задаем себе вопрос: как такое стало возможным?! Что движет человеком, надевшим военную форму и лишающим жизни простых людей – женщин, стариков, детей? Что двигало людьми, подвергавшими пыткам и отправляющими в газовые камеры во время Второй мировой войны тысячи жертв? Неужели все эти люди злодеи и садисты? Или «невинные» исполнители чужой воли и приказов? Ответить на эти вопросы сумел американский психолог Стэнли Милгрэм, который провел и описал шокирующий эксперимент, ставший одним из самых знаменитых в социальной психологии. Ни одно исследование не дало науке такого понимания природы человека, ни одно не вызвало столько споров. В книге – не только описание этого эксперимента, но и множество других, позволяющих заглянуть в самые темные уголки человеческой души, увидеть, на что способен каждый из нас под давлением авторитета, общества, просто зрителей. Это знание даст вам понимание природы человека и позволит засомневаться и сказать «нет», когда кто-то захочет сделать вас «слепым орудием» в своих руках. 3-е специальное международное издание. Специальное международное издание включает в себя в полном объеме разделы «Личность и власть» и «Личность и группа» из третьего издания книги «The Individual in a Social World. Essays and Experiments». Оригинальное англоязычное издание также включает разделы «Человек и город» и «Человек в коммуникативной сети».
Next Generation Assessment. Moving Beyond the Bubble Test to Support 21st Century Learning
A forward-thinking look at performance assessment in the 21st century Next Generation Assessment: Moving Beyond the Bubble Test to Support 21st Century Learning provides needed answers to the nation's growing concerns about educational testing in America. Drawing on research and the experiences of leading states and countries, this new book examines how performance assessments can offer a feasible alternative to current high stakes tests. As parents, educators, and policymakers have increasingly criticized the effects of the teaching to the test mandate from the No Child Left Behind Act, the need for this resource has never been more critical. This summary volume to Beyond the Bubble Test speaks to the nationwide unease about current tests' focus on low-level skills, like recalling and restating facts, rather than higher-order skills such as problem-solving, analyzing, and synthesizing information. It illustrates how schools can use authentic assessments to improve teaching and learning as they involve students in conducting research, designing investigations, developing products and solutions, using technology, and communicating their ideas in many forms. This important book: Serves as a must-have resource for those interested in the most current research about how to create valid and reliable performance assessments Explains how educators can improve practice by developing, using, and scoring performance assessments Helps policymakers and educators accurately assess the benefits and possibilities of adopting performance assessments nationally If you're an educator, researcher, graduate student, district administrator, or education policy specialist, Next Generation Assessment is an indispensable resource you'll turn to again and again.
Positively Smarter. Science and Strategies for Increasing Happiness, Achievement, and Well-Being
Positively Smarter brings together seven principles for connecting the science of neuroplasticity to practical strategies for enhancing the synergy of happiness, achievement, and physical well-being. Moving beyond common myths, the text builds an evidence-based paradigm to empower readers to take practical steps to move forward. Brings together current research on cognitive psychology, education (learning), and implications of neuroscience to suggest powerful ways to enhance the kind of cognitive function and productivity that leads to happiness and success Applies implications of current research showing that happiness is a skill and that positive affect can lead to higher levels of creative problem solving, productivity, achievement, and well-being Shares research and strategies for supporting physical activity and nutrition that may enhance neuroplasticity, cognitive performance, and positive affect Puts learners first and then brings in the science, presenting creative or adaptive strategies that can be applied in the real world Includes action assessments to guide readers in taking concrete steps to achieve the goals they set for themselves Identifies deeply held assumptions that innate talent, genes, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity mean that a significant percentage of the population lacks the neurocognitive potential to achieve at higher levels Draws on the authors’ research from a broad range of fields in order to maximize the positive impact of a synergistic approach
Lost and Found. Helping Behaviorally Challenging Students (and, While You're At It, All the Others)
Implement a more constructive approach to difficult students Lost and Found is a follow-up to Dr. Ross Greene's landmark works, The Explosive Child and Lost at School, providing educators with highly practical, explicit guidance on implementing his Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) Problem Solving model with behaviorally-challenging students. While the first two books described Dr. Greene's positive, constructive approach and described implementation on a macro level, this useful guide provides the details of hands-on CPS implementation by those who interact with these children every day. Readers will learn how to incorporate students' input in understanding the factors making it difficult for them to meet expectations and in generating mutually satisfactory solutions. Specific strategies, sample dialogues, and time-tested advice help educators implement these techniques immediately. The groundbreaking CPS approach has been a revelation for parents and educators of behaviorally-challenging children. This book gives educators the concrete guidance they need to immediately begin working more effectively with these students. Implement CPS one-on-one or with an entire class Work collaboratively with students to solve problems Study sample dialogues of CPS in action Change the way difficult students are treated The discipline systems used in K-12 schools are obsolete, and aren't working for the kids to whom they're most often applied – those with behavioral challenges. Lost and Found provides a roadmap to a different paradigm, helping educators radically transform the way they go about helping their most challenging students.
