The profession of teaching has long been characterised by certain habitual convictions, which Spencer undertook to shake rudely, and even to deride. The first of these convictions is that all education, physical, intellectual, and moral, must be authoritative, and need take no account of the natural wishes, tendencies, and motives of the ignorant and undeveloped child. The second dominating conviction is that to teach means to tell, or show, children what they ought to see, believe, and utter. Expositions by the teacher and books are therefore the true means of education. The third and supreme conviction is that the method of education which produced the teacher himself and the contemporary or earlier scholars, authors, and publicists, must be the righteous and sufficient method. Its fruits demonstrate its soundness, and make it sacred. Herbert Spencer, in the essays included in the present volume, assaulted all three of these firm convictions. Accordingly, the ideas on education which he put forth more than fifty years ago have penetrated educational practice very slowly particularly in England; but they are now coming to prevail in most civilised countries, and they will prevail more and more. Through him, the thoughts on education of Comenius, Montaigne, Locke, Milton, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, and other noted writers on this neglected subject are at last winning their way into practice, with the modifications or adaptations which the immense gains of the human race in knowledge and power since the nineteenth century opened have shown to be wise.

Writing for academic purposes is a tricky issue, especially for researchers who are eager to be recognized by larger academic discourse communites through their publications. Indeed, writing for prestigious databases and especially in English has been the basic concern of researchers with EFL background. However, in the last thirty years, the leading figures in ESP and EAP realms have developed pedagogical writing models and emphasized the critical role of genre analysis as road map in academic writing for researchers, with the very term of John Swales, who are looking for creating research space in local and international academic platforms. Thus, driven from these inspiring models in the literature, which are basicly prolific outcomes of genre based writing pedagogy, I, as a researcher, eager to cover all these pragmatic tools in a way that reseachers and, especially, novice researchers would easily catch the essence of writing for academic discourses in terms of positioning themselves in these discourses by synthesizing relevant parts of my master thesis and dissertation. Thus, as a motivational, inspring and reader friendly guide, Genre Analysis Based Pedagogy: Writing for Academic Discourses firstly explains genre as a term within paradigms and the critical position of genre analysis based writing pedagogy and genre analysis as methodology. Followingly, the models specifically put by ESP and EAP experts and practitioners are provided briefly and clearly for researchers in such a way that will guide them in rhetorically and lexico-grammatically structuring of their academic texts, or academic genres, section by section and holistically in English. Thus, through this self-help book, researchers can organize their academic genres with a professional academic tone in English, which will ease, as Hyland pointed out, contextualizing their genres into wider academic contexts.

Bir öğretmen için eğitim sisteminin yapısını bilmek, meslekî çalışmalarını gerçekleştirirken son derece önemlidir. Öğretmenin başarısı, alan ve meslek bilgisinin yanında sistem içindeki çeşitli görev ve sorumluluklar ve öğretmen olarak alacağı rollerle çok yakından ilgilidir. Sistemin nasıl işlediğinin bilinmesi, öğretmenlerin özlük hakları açısından da önemlidir. Çağdaş insanın tanımında yer alan, hak ve sorumluluklarını bilen insan tanımı, öğretmenlik mesleği için özellikle üzerinde durulması gereken bir durumdur. Türk Eğitim Sistemi ve Okul Yönetimi dersi öğretmenlik programlarına bu amaçlarla konmuştur.

Burada istenen, mesleğe yeni başlayan öğretmenlere eğitim sisteminin yapısı ve okuldaki işleyişle ilgili temel bilgi ve beceriyi meslek öncesi hazırlık aşamasında vermektir. Böylece mesleğe yeni başlayan genç öğretmenler sistemin kendilerinden beklentilerini başarı ile yerine getirebileceklerdir. Alanın uzmanları ve özellikle okul sistemi içinde görev yapan öğretmen/yöneticilerden de yararlanılarak hazırlanan bu kitap, eğitimin tarihsel ve düşünsel temellerinin yanında, eğitim sistemi ve okul yönetimiyle ilgili olduğunu düşündüğümüz yöneticilerin psikolojik özellikleri, eğitimde aktüel konular gibi pek çok konuyu içermektedir. Böylece öğretmen adaylarının kafasında oluşabilecek pek çok sorunun cevabı verilmeye çalışılmıştır.
