It has proven remarkably resilient. While the countries share a long history and have considerable social-cultural affinity, relations since Partition have been marked by three wars, constant border skirmishes and a deep distrust that permeates both societies. In each, teaching about those relations is weighted with political and cultural significance, and research shows that curriculums have been used to shape the mindset of new generations with regard to their neighbouring state. This book explores the attitudes and pedagogical decision-making of teachers in India and Pakistan when teaching India-Pakistan relations. Situating teachers in the context of reformed textbooks and curriculums in both countries that explicitly advocate critical thinking and social cohesion, Kusha Anand explores how far teachers have enacted these changes in their classrooms. Based on data collected from teachers via semi-structured interviews and classroom observations in India and Pakistan she argues that, despite whole-nation policies and texts, teaching of India-Pakistan relations is dependent on the socio-economic status of schools. While there is progress towards the stated goals, teachers in both countries face pressures from the interests of school and state, and often miss opportunities to engage with multiple perspectives and stereotypes in their classrooms.IndiaForeign relationsPakistan327.5405491Anand Kusha1349019NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910644038003321Teaching India-Pakistan Relations3362754UNINA04472nam 22006614a 450 991097185040332120251116160644.09780309173537030917353197803095251900309525195(CKB)111069351117046(SSID)ssj0000280775(PQKBManifestationID)11240794(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000280775(PQKBWorkID)10300167(PQKB)11656686(MiAaPQ)EBC3375689(Au-PeEL)EBL3375689(CaPaEBR)ebr10041109(OCoLC)923258136(Perlego)4734970(BIP)53859985(BIP)7361249(EXLCZ)9911106935111704620010710d2001 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrInformation systems and the environment /edited by Deanna J.

This collection of papers by leaders in industry, government, and academia explores how information technology can improve environmental performance by individual firms, collaborations among firms, and collaborations among firms, government agencies, and academia. Information systems can also be used by nonprofit organizations and the government to inform the public about broad environmental issues and environmental conditions in their neighborhoods. Several papers address the challenges to information management posed by the explosive increase in information and knowledge about environmental issues and potential solutions, including determining what information is environmentally relevant and how it can be used in decision making. In addition, case studies are described and show how industry is using information systems to ensure sustainable development and meet environmental standards. The book also includes examples from the public sector showing how governments use information knowledge systems to disseminate "best practices" beyond big firms to small businesses, and from the world of the Internet showing how knowledge is shared among environmental advocates and the general public.Environmental protectionEnvironmental educationEnvironmental protection.Environmental education.363.7/05Richards Deanna J1808304Allenby Braden R872201Compton W.
