Sommario/riassunto |
|
Civic leaders around the globe now press educators to raise the performance of students and schools. Backed by a colorful array of odd bedfellows - from corporate interests to advocates for the poor - politicians seek to narrow the aims of learning, advance routine curricular packages, and tightly align standardized tests. Why are governments pushing to centrally regulate teaching and learning at this historical moment? Do these accountability mechanisms succeed in boosting student achievement? How are teachers responding to top-down rules, incentives, and the recasting of what knowledge counts inside school? These are the hotly contested ideological and empirical questions asked by this volume's contributors, a rich mix of sociologists, applied anthropologists, and education researchers. As public schools struggle to regain public confidence, political actors eagerly try to look strong and forceful. But do centralized accountability policies lift the motivation of teachers and students? Or, is this reform strategy a brilliant political remedy - but one that makes little difference inside the classroom. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The proposed book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the advancements and potential applications of nanotechnology in addressing the challenges of water and wastewater management. The book intends to explore the latest research findings, innovative technologies, and emerging trends in utilizing nanomaterials for sustainable and efficient water treatment processes. The primary purpose of this new book is to bridge the gap between nanotechnology and water/wastewater management by presenting cutting-edge research and practical applications. The main objective of this new book is to serve as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and professionals working in the field of water and wastewater treatment. The wide range of topics, including nanomaterial synthesis, characterization techniques, various nanotechnology-based treatment processes, nanomaterials for contaminant removal, nanosensors for water quality monitoring, and nanotechnology-enabled resource recovery will be covered in this book. As the authors of this book, our motivation stems from the urgent need to address global water scarcity and pollution issues. The nanotechnology holds immense potential in revolutionizing water and wastewater management practices by offering highly efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions. By compiling and presenting the latest research and advancements in this field, we aim to inspire further research, collaboration, and innovation in utilizing nanotechnology for the betterment of water resources and environmental sustainability. The main goal of this new book is to contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and promote the adoption of nanotechnology in achieving sustainable water and wastewater management worldwide. |
