  • Education for Liberal Democracy
    Education for Liberal Democracy: Fred Clarke and Educational Reconstruction in England 1936-1952 Hsiao-Yuh Ku Institute of Education, University of London Thesis for the degree of PhD 2012 Abstract This thesis explores the connection between the democratic ideas of Fred Clarke (1880-1952), an English educationist, and his contribution to educational reconstruction in England in the 1940s. By drawing on biographical method and documentary research, this thesis demonstrates that Clarke's democratic ideas reflected the ideals of liberal democracy and ways in which his ideas informed his positions on various issues of the educational reform and his actions or activities towards them, which constituted his substantial contribution to the reform. Three general themes in this thesis support the main argument. First, Clarke's ideas about the distinction between community and the State, his conception of equality, and his emphasis on free personality and moral qualities of all citizens found their roots in the ideals of liberal democracy, especially those of developmental democracy. Second, Clarke's ideas of democracy underlay his positions on educational issues such as the reorganization of the central authority; the public schools; the administrative system, selection and organization of secondary education; further education; teacher education and the teaching profession; and adult education. Third, Clarke contributed himself to the reform primarily through arousing and guiding public opinion by means of his speeches, writings, cooperative actions, engagement in professional organizations, and the publication of the first report of the Central Advisory Council, School and Life (1947), which were also in accordance with his ideas of democracy. Clarke also exerted his influence on cultural elites through discussion groups and on policy-makers and key figures through memoranda, private meetings and correspondence.

  • 1 Post-War Settlements
    1 Post-War Settlements Contexts of Reform Between 1943 and 1947, the coalition government led by Churchill and the Labour government of Attlee committed themselves to full employment, instituted a more effective system of social security, and ±in Labour's case ±constructed a National Health Service, freely available. Central among the motives for these reforms was a political recognition of the strength of the demand for change, a strength expressed by Labour's overwhelming victory in the general election of 1945. The effects of reform were many and enduring. The lifting of the threat of unemployment and dire poverty greatly strengthened trade-unionism. The creation of new and massive institutions of health and welfare brought into existence a large professional or semi- professional class, which developed policies and interests of its own. At the same time, the fact that reform was the result of decisive action at the political centre served to cement the support of the majority of the Welsh and Scottish populations for the British state. The depres- sion of the 1930s had devastated the Welsh and Scottish economies ± Wales had lost one-fifth of its population. The creation of the welfare state, `the most important reform for raising the quality of working- class life in the twentieth century', was manifestly the work of national government, which possessed a `capacity for regeneration' which no individual polity could match (Morgan and Mungham 2000). But this capacity was limited, first of all, by economic circum- stance. Impoverished by war, Britain was able to fund the welfare state only with financial aid in late 1945 from the American govern- ment.

    Cambridge University Press 0521583063 - Psychological Investigations of Competence in Decision Making Edited by Kip Smith, James Shanteau and Paul Johnson Frontmatter More information Cambridge Series on Judgment and Decision Making Psychological Investigations of Competence in Decision Making The premise of this book is that most activity in everyday life and work is based on tasks that are novel, infrequent in our experience, or variable with respect to the action to be taken.Such tasks require decisions to be made and actions taken in the face of ambiguous or incomplete information.Time pressure is frequently great, and penalties for failure are severe.Examples include investing in markets, controlling industrial accidents, and detecting fraud.The environments in which such tasks occur defy a definition of optimal performance, yet the benefits of successful decision making are considerable.The authors refer to domains with- out criteria for optimal performance as “competency-based” and describe the able behavior of individuals who work in them by the term “competence.” The chapters of this book examine the propositions that metacognitive processes – thinking about the kind of thinking that a task requires – give structure to other- wise ill-structured tasks and are fundamental enablers of decision-making performance. Kip Smith is Research Professor of Industrial Ergonomics at Link¨opingUniver- sity, Sweden.After a first career as a geophysicist, Professor Smith received a Ph.D. in Information and Decision Science from the University of Minnesota. Currently, his research focuses on delineating the dynamic and neural con- straints on models of individual and economic decision making and of team performance.Among his applied interests are foreign currency trading, air traf- fic control, and the Future Force warrior.

There is also a need to provide the schools, health and leisure services. These services are provided by a range of organisations but there is currently little or no integration of that provision to meet the needs of existing communities nor their future needs. The preparation of an integrated Infrastructure Plan is essential for local authorities and their partners to fulfil their place shaping role. The revised Planning Policy Statement 12 (PPS12)1 identifies the Core Strategy as the to ensure that sus considered sound , the Core Strategy must identify the infrastructure requirements for its area; who will provide it and when. The production of an integrated Infrastructure Plan will also yield significant benefits for their partner organisations need to actively engage in the process. Revisions to Planning Policy Statement 122 have meant that local planning authorities are now required to demonstrate a reasonable prospect of infrastructure delivery in relation to land allocations for development.
