    Content: Learning in a Vygotskian Perspective demonstrates how Lev Vygotsky's (1896–1934) socio-cultural perspectives on learning and education can in various ways hone our perceptions of good education in kindergarten and school. Vygotsky's ideas are an important frame of reference for current educational thinking and constitute a central perspective within the field of education. And yet, it is hard to ignore the pronounced difference between the socio-cultural perspective and the standardization of education occurring today, propelled globally by politicians and education reformers. This anthology contributes to a deeper understanding of how socio-cultural perspectives can provide ""opportunities and consequences for education"". The authors of the chapters in the book have been inspired in various ways by Vygotsky's pedagogical ideas, actively using and promoting them in new research projects in the context of new fields of research and practice within kindergartens, schools and teacher education. The book will be of interest to researchers, teacher educators, teachers, students and others who are interested in socio-cultural learning processes in education. The authors are affiliated with a variety of national and international institutions. The editors are affiliated with the Faculty of Teacher Education and Pedagogy at Høgskolen i Inlandet and the Department of Sámi Teacher Education at Sámi allaskuvla. Ann-Cathrin Faldet is an associate professor in pedagogy, Thor-André Skrefsrud is a professor in pedagogy, and Hege Merete Somby is an associate professor in pedagogy
    Content: Læring i et Vygotsky-perspektiv viser hvordan Lev Vygotskys (1896–1934) sosiokulturelle perspektiver på læring og utdanning på ulike måter kan bidra til å skjerpe blikket for hva god opplæring kan være i barnehage og skole. Vygotskys ideer er en viktig referanseramme for dagens pedagogiske tenkning og utgjør et sentralt perspektiv innenfor utdanningsfeltet. Samtidig er det vanskelig å overse den markante forskjellen mellom det sosiokulturelle perspektivet og samtidens standardisering av utdanning, drevet frem globalt av politikere og utdanningsreformatorer. Antologien bidrar til en dypere forståelse av hvordan sosiokulturelle perspektiver kan gi «muligheter og konsekvenser for opplæringen». Kapitlene i boken er på ulike måter inspirert av Vygotskys pedagogiske tenkning og bruker den aktivt og viderefører den inn i nye forskningsprosjekter i møte med nye forsknings- og praksisfelt innenfor barnehage, skole og lærerutdanning. Boken henvender seg til forskere, lærerutdannere, lærere, studenter og andre som interesserer seg for sosiokulturelle læringsprosesser i utdanning. Kapitlene er skrevet av en rekke fagfolk fra ulike nasjonale og internasjonale institusjoner. Redaktørene er tilknyttet Fakultet for lærerutdanning og pedagogikk ved Høgskolen i Innlandet og Institutt for samiske lærerutdanninger ved Sámi allaskuvla. Ann-Cathrin Faldet er førsteamanuensis i pedagogikk, Thor-André Skrefsrud er professor i pedagogikk, og Hege Merete Somby er førsteamanuensis i pedagogikk

    Content: Women's earnings are a fraction of male's earnings in several African countries. It is tempting to conclude that this wage gap is a sign of discrimination against women in the labor market. Yet this book uses new datasets to show that the gap is not simply the result of discrimination in the labor markets, but rather the result of multiple factors, including access to education and credit, cultural values and household duties, and, above all, labor market conditions. It shows that gender disparities grow when economies are not functioning well and labor markets are tiny. More than the effect of discrimination, it seems that job rationing causes those with better human capital and those with more power in the household-usually the men-to take the few jobs that are available. It is hardly surprising, then, that in a region where only a fraction of the labor force finds jobs in the formal sector, gender disparities in earnings are so high. The book further documents that firm-level and sector characteristics are additional powerful factors in explaining the gender disparities in the labor market.As the causes are not simple, neither are the solutions; multifaceted strategies are needed. By providing environments that support economic growth and, more importantly, job creation, as well as by promoting equal access for women to education and rethinking the attitudes that limit what women may achieve, governments in the region will substantially improve the well-being of all their peoples.Gender Disparities in Africa's Labor Market helps to fill the knowledge gap and identify the links between gender disparities and poverty reduction. The work was implemented in collaboration with a range of poverty and labor market studies to maximize its usefulness for policy dialogue in specific countries.This book will be of interest to policy makers, students,
