 | | | | A multilevel analysis of what matters in the training of pre-service teacher's ICT competencies Few empirical studies investigate the impact of pre-service teachers' background and ICT profile in combination with the support they receive from their teacher training institution on their ICT competencies. Moreover, research focusing on preparing future teachers for ICT integration is generally limited to the impact of one single strategy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test a model to explain pre-service teachers' perceived ICT competencies that integrates pre-service teachers' background characteristics (age and gender), their ICT profile (e.g., attitudes towards ICT) and the... |

| Realisms and idealisms in Italian culture, 1300–2017 This special issue of the Italianist collects ten essays that consider the multiple manifestations of realism and idealism in Italy from the Trecento to the present day. Notions of the 'real Italy' (and of 'Italian realism') remain fundamental for scholars working in various disciplines, while the exploration of the ideal Italies constructed throughout history continues to inspire innovative work on virtually every period of Italian culture. Rather than accepting the many assertions of realism and the many projections of idealism that have characterized Italian culture from its beginnings,... |

| Ch 7 - Impact Evaluations: Persistent Limitations, Alternative Approaches, Possible Responses This chapter addresses how the studies reviewed in this manuscript are generally problematic for two reasons that go beyond their specific findings. The first problem is the econometric nature of the studies, while the second is the political-financial-intellectual complex from which these studies were borne and back into which they went as they furthered the interests of that complex. In addition to discussing these issues, this chapter focuses on how the combination of these issues contributes to relations of dependence between international researchers with expertise in these methods and... |

| Ch 2 - Critically Understanding Impact Evaluations: Technical, Methodological, Organizational, and Political Issues It is crucial that scholars, but also policymakers and practitioners , have a critical understanding of the conceptual and technical limitations of impact evaluations, as well as the ways that they are necessarily affected by organizational and political dynamics. In order to achieve a critical understanding of impact evaluations, this chapter directs its attention toward both their most common form—regression analysis—as well as the form that is seen to be more robust, that is, randomized control trials (RCTs). The methodological assumptions of each of these are discussed , first, in... |

| 141 Review of Pinker's Book.doc Steven Pinker's "Enlightenment NOW" is in many ways a terrific book, from which I have learnt much. But it is also deeply flawed. Science and reason are at the heart of the book, but the conceptions that Steven Pinker defends are damagingly irrational. And these defective conceptions of science and reason, as a result of being associated with the Enlightenment Programme for the past two or three centuries, have been responsible, in part, for the genesis of the global problems we now suffer from, and our current inability to deal with them properly. There is not a glimmering of an... |
