Making Assessment Matter
by Graham ButtTeachers often spend a considerable amount of their time monitoring and assessing their pupils' performance. But what are we assessing for, and can assessment practices be changed to make them more useful to teachers and learners? Assessment activities in schools are frequently criticised by government inspectors - often being reported as the least successful aspect of schools' work. Drawing on established research, Making Assessment Matter focuses on the purpose of assessment, and suggests strategies for managing assessment in a more effective way. The author considers the role of assessment in promoting learning, rather than simply measuring it, provides tips on setting and attaining assessment targets, and brings together considerations of 'high stakes' assessment at the national level with day-to-day assessment practice in the classroom. This timely and informative book will be essential reading for anyone involved with, or interested in, the role of assessment within schools, including teachers, trainee teachers and managers.

Playing With History: The Historical Approach To Musical Performance (PDF) (Musical Performance And Reception Ser.)
by John Butt Laurence DreyfusWhy do we feel the need to perform music in a historically informed style? Is this need related to wider cultural concerns? In this study, John Butt sums up debates on the nature of the early music movement and historically informed performance, calling upon a seemingly inexhaustible fund of ideas gleaned from historical musicology, analytic philosophy, literary theory, historiography and theories of modernism and postmodernism. He develops the critical views of both supporters and detractors of the movement, while claiming ultimately that it has more intellectual and artistic potential than its detractors may have assumed. He also asks whether the phenomenon of historically informed performance reflects changes in the culture of western music and how it, in turn, may have influenced that culture, particularly in regard to such issues as the status of the composer, the work, intentionality and notation.

BNVR: The Butt Non-Verbal Reasoning Test
by Pamela Butt Romola BucksThe BNVR Test is a unique non-linguistic approach for identifying whether a cognitive (problem-solving) deficit as well as a linguistic deficit exists in individuals with acquired aphasia. Recognising cognitive deficits in terms of problem-solving may be a key factor in understanding why some individuals overcome their communication difficulties better than others. Failure to recognise problem-solving difficulties may lead to unrealistic expectations of therapeutic intervention and thus inappropriate management and goal setting. The BNVR requires the client to solve 10 everyday problems, presented in full-colour photographic format. It is short, requires minimal linguistic input, contains real-life situations and is likely to be suitable for non-English speaking individuals. It will be useful to speech language therapists, occupational therapists and psychologists who need to ascertain whether problem-solving skills are affected and to assist in multi-disciplinary team decision-making in acute and rehabilitation settings.

by Herbert ButterfieldFirst published in 1962, this book comprises lectures given in November 1961 to what was then the University College of North Staffordshire.

Armut von Kindern mit Migrationshintergrund: Ausmaß, Erscheinungsformen und Ursachen
by Carolin ButterweggeKinder mit Migrationshintergrund leben hierzulande mehr als doppelt so häufig wie jene ohne in Armut. Wie sich diese im Bereich des Wohnens, der Gesundheit, der Bildung und in sozialen Kontakten bei verschiedenen Gruppen von Zuwandererfamilien äußert, zeigt die Verfasserin mittels umfassender Analysen. Sie belegen, dass die Armut von Migranten in eine klassen- und migrationsspezifische Neustrukturierung von sozialer Ungleichheit im Zuge neoliberaler Gesellschaftsveränderungen eingebettet ist. Auslöser von Armut sind z.B. die Exklusion auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, (Aus-)Bildungsdefizite und Kinderreichtum. Über die Schichtzugehörigkeit eines Migranten bestimmt auch das Ausländerrecht. Ob ein Kind trotz Armutsbedingungen im Wohlbefinden aufwächst, entscheidet sich indes durch ein für Migrantenkinder weitgehend unerforschtes Zusammenspiel v.a. personaler und familiärer Risiko- und Schutzfaktoren.
Kinderarmut in Ost- und Westdeutschland
by Christoph Butterwegge Michael Klundt Matthias Belke-ZengSeit geraumer Zeit erregt das Problem einer wachsenden und sich gleichzeitig verjüngenden Armut in entwickelten Wohlfahrtsstaaten öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit und fachliches Interesse, was sich in einer Fülle einschlägiger Forschungsprojekte und einer Flut wissenschaftlich fundierter Publikationen zu diesem Thema niederschlägt. Dabei sind die spezifischen Rahmenbedingungen des vereinigten, vormals aus zwei Staaten mit unterschiedlichen Gesellschafts-, Wirtschafts- und Wohlfahrtssystemen sowie konträren (sozial)politischen Kulturen bestehenden Deutschland aber gegenüber anderen Faktoren vernachlässigt worden. Das Buch beleuchtet die Ursachen und psychosozialen Folgen der Kinderarmut in den alten und den neuen Bundesländern. Ein empirischer Vergleich der sozialen Situation von Erfurter und Kölner Schulkindern gab darüber Aufschluss, welche Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten der Lebenslagen in Ost- und Westdeutschland existieren. Schließlich werden Gegenmaßnahmen auf unterschiedlichen Politikfeldern vorgeschlagen, um Kinderarmut zu verringern und zu verhindern.
