International skoleforskning viser, at ledelsens aktive deltagelse i evaluering og udvikling af skolens undervisning og pædagogik har afgørende betydning for elevernes resultater. Den seneste folkeskolereform markerer store forventninger til ledelsens rolle i et kvalitetsløft af skolen.En folkeskoles ledelse kan ikke løfte opgaven alene, men må facilitere et bredt samarbejde. Dette kræver indsigt i en mangfoldighed af forskellige læringsmiljøer, professioner og deres faglige selvfortællinger. Det er ledelsens opgave at understøtte og fremme den røde tråd i en skoles virksomhed og skabe en sammenhængende fortælling, der kan favne og inspirere såvel medarbejdere, elever, forældre som lokalsamfund.I fortællingen om effektiv skoleledelse indgår i dag kompetencer til at lede mål- og resultatstyringsprocesser samt evaluerings- og feedbackprocesser. Styrker og faldgrupper ved mål- og resultatstyring behandles indgående igennem bogen, ligesom der sættes fokus på centrale dilemmaer i aktuel skoleledelse, fx omkring inklusion, kontrol og forældreinddragelse. Narrativ skoleledelse bringer analyser og praksiseksempler fra ledelsens hverdag i den kommunale folkeskole.

Knud Illeris er internationalt kendt for sin udforskning af, hvordan menneskelig læring fungerer, og hvad der er på spil, når tilsigtet læring ikke finder sted. Bag den videnskabelige karriere ligger et usædvanligt og spændende livsforløb, som både adskiller sig fra den typiske akademiske livsbane og samtidig har været med til at nære de forskningsmæssige interesser.Allerede i 14-15-årsalderen oplevede Illeris, at han spildte sin tid i skolen. Han ville ud i verden, kom i lære i et rejsebureau og fik en lynkarriere i rejsebranchen. Men som 27-årig ville han videre og meldte sig til et studenterkursus. Her oplevede han, at det hele handlede mere om indordning og sortering end om læring, og det blev afsættet for en livslang interesse for læring i både teori og praksis. Illeris blev psykolog, var med til at starte Det frie Gymnasium, blev senere ansat ved det nye Roskilde Universitetscenter og spillede her en central rolle i forbindelse med læring gennem projektarbejde. Sideløbende udviklede han gennem 30 år den læringsforståelse, som i den sidste del af hans karriere gjorde ham bredt kendt inden for den internationale læringsforskning. Men Illeris liv har ikke kun handlet om læring og uddannelse. Bogen beretter også om hans interesse for fællesskaber og næsten 40 år som medlem af det økologiske storkollektiv på Svanholm, om hans omfattende rejseoplevelser og om hans baggrund i et miljø præget af grundtvigianske og freudianske strømninger med et tilskud fra en særpræget forståelse af både Marx og Jesus. Det er i denne specielle kombination, han mener at finde en del af forudsætningerne for udviklingen af den bredt dækkende læringsforståelse.

Medarbejdere i internationale virksomheder skal kunne samarbejde på tværs af organisationer, ledelsesniveauer, lande, faglige baggrunde, kulturer og tidszoner, mens de jonglerer alskens medier for at nå vigtige strategiske mål. Denne bog har fokus på, hvordan man som medarbejder kommunikerer effektivt i disse komplekse og dynamiske kontekster. Den går i dybden med en række af de vigtigste aspekter inden for interkulturel kommunikation og interaktion i internationale virksomheder og organisationer for at klæde læseren på til at forstå, hvad der kan ligge bag en replik på et videomøde, eller hvad der kan være de forretningsmæssige konsekvenser af en sætning i en e-mail. Med sit sprog- og kommunikationsvidenskabelige udgangspunkt er bogens omdrejningspunkt den daglige professionelle interaktion i internationale virksomheder. Medarbejdernes indbyrdes interaktion har afgørende betydning for virksomhedernes succes, udvikling og vækst.Bogens emner strækker sig fra forretningsbreve, e-mails, ansigt til ansigt-møder og videomøder over formel og uformel interaktion, teamwork, knowledge management, organisatoriske rutiner og socialisering til indre branding, innovation og forandringskommunikation. Bogen trækker på den nyeste forskning og bygger på data, forfatterne har indsamlet i hele verden, og i bogen gives løbende eksempler fra kommunikativ praksis i lande som Argentina, Brasilien, Danmark, England, Indien, Kina, Tyskland, Ghana, Japan, Rusland, Sverige, Sydafrika, Tyrkiet, Ungarn og USA.Målgruppen er studerende, der ønsker at dygtiggøre sig inden for international virksomhedskommunikation, såvel som professionelle medarbejdere, der ønsker ajourført viden og inspiration til effektive redskaber til at optimere deres daglige samarbejde i internationale virksomheder.

Sensorik defineres som læren om metoder til objektiv og subjektiv bedømmelse af fødevarer og er en tværfaglig kemisk, fysisk og biologisk videnskab. Sensorik omfatter menneskets evne til at beskrive og bedømme stimuli ved hjælp af smags-, lugt-, syns-, føle-, høre- og smertesanserne og er et væsentligt element i produktudvikling og karakterisering af fødevarer i fødevarebranchen.Sensoriske analyseresultater favner kemi, fysik og biologi i et sprog, der gør kompliceret viden om fødevarer og fødevarekvalitet enkelt og meget anvendelsesorienteret.Bogen gennemgår sensorisk videnskab med fokus på biologiske og kemiske processer med teori, metoder og øvelser til udvikling, analyse og karakterisering af fødevarer. Der gives en introduktion til den sensoriske videnskab med en gennemgang af sanser og nerverespons.Dernæst gennemgås relationen mellem sanserne og madens sensoriske parametre, samt en guide til metoder, der anvendes i branchen til produktudvikling af mad og måltider gennem sensoriske smagsforsøg, dette rundes af med en uddybning af det komplekse begreb Kvalitet i relation til fødevarer, og der præsenteres hele fem øvelser, der samler op på teorien.

Business ethics, corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, values-driven management, corporate governance and ethical leadership are necessary horizons for legitimacy of corporations in the process of globalization.With the theories of business ethics as a starting point, it is possible to propose a vision of the good citizen corporation.The author presents theories and concepts of responsibility for stakeholder justice and basic ethical principles of respect for autonomy, dignity, integrity and vulnerability.This is the foundation for an analysis of the ethical relations to internal and external constituencies of the firm, i.e. shareholders, owners, investors, management, employees, consumers and local community.The interaction with the environment is further analyzed with focus on ethical principles as the basis for sustainability. This investigation culminates with the conceptualization of the firm as a collective and institutional moral agent.The content also includes analysis of concrete political developments in the United States, Europe and the United Nations. Finally, the book provides a framework for a new corporate strategy based on global business ethics.

I dette hæfte, som introducerer til kompetenceområdet Sprog og kommunikationsundervisning (4.-10. klassetrin), tager Jeppe Bundsgaard afsæt i forskningsbaseret viden omhandlende sprog og tekster i relation til kommunikativ kompetence. Hæftet er bygget op over en række centrale træk ved vores sproglige omgang med hinanden fra præsentationer af forskellige måder at forstå, hvad en kommunikationssituation er, over undersøgelser af vores mundtlige og kropslige sprogs funktioner til undersøgelser af, hvad kommunikation på nettet giver os af udfordringer. I fremstillingen udpeges især tre sproglige fænomener metafor, deixis og modalitet som det er godt at være opmærksom på i arbejdet med kommunikation. Der er desuden fokus på de kompetencemål, der omhandler kritisk vurdering af sprogbrug i analoge og digitale medier, udvikling af læringsaktiviteter, der understøtter elevers kommunikative kompetence, og vurdering af stemme, mimik og gestik som udtryksmidler i danskundervisning. Endelig lægges der vægt på at skabe en hensigtsmæssig tekst i en given kommunikationssituation på baggrund af valg mellem medier og sproglige virkemidler. Hæftet afrundes med studieopgaver i forskellige kommunikationsgenrer relateret til de centrale temaer, som fremstilles gennem hele hæftet. Hæftet er et særtryk af et kapitel fra serien Lærerprofiler i dansk. Serien, som omfatter tre bind, introducerer til det nye danskfag i læreruddannelsen (2013), herunder de i alt otte kompetenceområder for hhv. 1.-6. klassetrin og 4.-10. klassetrin.

Hvordan styres videnssamfundet? handler om den rolle styring og politik har i organiseringen af universiteter og vidensinstitutioner. Bidragsyderne undersøger de farer, der lurer, når styring bliver til overstyring, og når vidensledelse bliver til talgymnastik, evaluering og dokumentation. Det moderne samfunds udvikling og vækst hviler på forskningsbaseret viden. Men hvordan styrer vi det moderne videnssamfund og hvordan bør vi gøre det, hvis samfundet ikke skal spænde ben for sig selv?Seksten anerkendte forskere inden for videnskabsteori, økonomi, samfundsvidenskab, organisation og ledelse giver deres bud på, hvordan politiske og videnskabelige institutioner kan og bør styres. Hvordan styres videnssamfundet? er oplagt til brug i undervisning i videnskabsteori, statskundskab, pædagogik samt sociologi og har med dens tværfaglige spændvidde relevans for alle ansatte ved offentlige danske vidensinstitutioner.Desuden henvender den sig til alle, som er nysgerrige efter at få et indblik i de nyeste tendenser i videnssamfundet og sammenhængen mellem videnspolitik og vidensinstitutioner, der i disse år spiller en stadigt større rolle i den offentlige debat.
