The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this updated and expanded edition of The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance, some of the world''s foremost experts on expertise share their scientific knowledge of expertise and expert performance and show how experts may differ from non-experts in terms of development, training, reasoning, knowledge, and social support. The book reviews innovative methods for measuring experts'' knowledge and performance in relevant tasks. Sixteen major domains of expertise are covered, including sports, music, medicine, business, writing, and drawing, with leading researchers summarizing their knowledge about the structure and acquisition of expert skills and knowledge, and discussing future prospects. General issues that cut across most domains are reviewed in chapters on various aspects of expertise, such as general and practical intelligence, differences in brain activity, self-regulated learning, deliberate practice, aging, knowledge management, and creativity.

Expert Adjustments of Model Forecasts - Philip Hans Franses - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Expert Adjustments of Model Forecasts - Philip Hans Franses - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

To what extent should anybody who has to make model forecasts generated from detailed data analysis adjust their forecasts based on their own intuition? In this book, Philip Hans Franses, one of Europe''s leading econometricians, presents the notion that many publicly available forecasts have experienced an ''expert''s touch'', and questions whether this type of intervention is useful and if a lighter adjustment would be more beneficial. Covering an extensive research area, this accessible book brings together current theoretical insights and new empirical results to examine expert adjustment from an econometric perspective. The author''s analysis is based on a range of real forecasts and the datasets upon which the forecasters relied. The various motivations behind experts'' modifications are considered, and guidelines for creating more useful and reliable adjusted forecasts are suggested. This book will appeal to academics and practitioners with an interest in forecasting methodology.

The Political Uses of Expert Knowledge - Christina Boswell - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Political Uses of Expert Knowledge - Christina Boswell - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Why do politicians and civil servants commission research and what use do they make of it in policymaking? The received wisdom is that research contributes to improving government policy. Christina Boswell challenges this view, arguing that policymakers are just as likely to value expert knowledge for two alternative reasons: as a way of lending authority to their preferences; or to signal their capacity to make sound decisions. Boswell develops a compelling new theory of the role of knowledge in policy, showing how policymakers use research to establish authority in contentious and risky areas of policy. She illustrates her argument with an analysis of European immigration policies, charting the ways in which expertise becomes a resource for lending credibility to controversial claims, underpinning high-risk decisions or bolstering the credibility of government agencies.

Toxicological Evaluation of Certain Food Additives - Joint Fao Who Expert Committee On Food Additives - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Toxicological Evaluation of Certain Food Additives - Joint Fao Who Expert Committee On Food Additives - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This volume in the WHO Food Additives Series contains monographs prepared by the 31st Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives, which met in Geneva in 1987. The monographs examine four groups of substances: enzyme preparations; smoke flavorings; food colors (beet red, canthaxanthin, carbon black, citranaxanthin); and glutamic acid and its salts. Four appendices give further information, including acceptable daily intakes. As with earlier volumes in the series, this book is an essential reference for chemists and biochemists engaged in food processing. It is the authoritative source of information on the toxicological effects of food additives and will be required by corporations and institutions responsible for food processing.

Critical Elitism - Alfred Moore - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Critical Elitism - Alfred Moore - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Democracies have a problem with expertise. Expert knowledge both mediates and facilitates public apprehension of problems, yet it also threatens to exclude the public from consequential judgments and decisions located in technical domains. This book asks: how can we have inclusion without collapsing the very concept of expertise? How can public judgment be engaged in expert practices in a way that does not reduce to populism? Drawing on deliberative democratic theory and social studies of science, Critical Elitism argues that expert authority depends ultimately on the exercise of public judgment in a context in which there are live possibilities for protest, opposition and scrutiny. This account points to new ways of looking at the role of civil society, expert institutions, and democratic innovations in the constitution of expert authority within democratic systems. Using the example of climate science, Critical Elitism highlights not only the risks but also the benefits of contesting expertise.

Teacher Expertise in the Global South - Jason Anderson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Teacher Expertise in the Global South - Jason Anderson - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

There are many expert teachers working in the global South and we can learn a great deal from them. Neither of these claims should be surprising, yet to date there has been almost no research conducted on expert teachers working in Southern contexts. Instead, the huge sums of money invested in attempting to improve teacher quality in the South have frequently been directed towards introducing exogenous practices or interventions that may be culturally inappropriate, practically infeasible and ultimately unsustainable – often failing as a result. In this pioneering book, Jason Anderson provides an authoritative overview of the practices, cognition and professionalism of expert teachers working in low-income contexts. By drawing upon both systematic reviews of teacher expertise and effectiveness research, and his own fieldwork in India, he argues that without an understanding of expert teachers working in all contexts worldwide, we cannot truly understand expertise itself.
