This article argues that the analogy between conceptual changes in the history of science and conceptual changes in the development
of young children is problematic. We show that the notions of ‘conceptual change’ in Kuhn and Piaget’s projects, the two thinkers
whose work is most commonly drawn upon to support this analogy, are not compatible in the sense usually claimed. We contend
that Kuhn’s work pertains not so much to the psychology of individual scientists, but to the way philosophers and historians
should describe developments in communities of scientists. Furthermore, we argue that the analogy is based on a misunderstanding
of the nature of science and the relation between science and common sense. The distinctiveness of the two notions of conceptual
change has implications for science education research, since it raises serious questions about the relevance of Kuhn’s remarks
for the study of pedagogical issues. 相似文献

In David Long’s article, Scientists at Play in a Field of the Lord, he studies the discourse between a network of regional scientists, atheists, activists and evolutionists at the opening
of The Creation Museum on Memorial Day, 2007. This review essay examines the teaching of evolution through the teacher’s ‘lens
of empathy’ and also considers a ‘pupil centeredness’ approach. As a practicing science educator, I have found it paramount
to take into consideration my students’ backgrounds and their families’ beliefs in order to understand their preconceived
notions about the origins of life. By teaching evolution as ‘a theory with both facts and fallacies’ only then does it become
an opportunity for critical thinking that fosters growth and risk taking in a safe environment. Most times students hear evolution
preached as a one-sided lecture by teachers who believe it’s “my way or the highway” and leave little or no room for dialogue.
I believe that a teacher’s job is to stay updated with current research on the theory of evolution and then present all the
information to students in a way that creates personal opportunities for them to adjust their existing schema without demeaning
them, their ideas, or their faith or belief system. This not only shows value, compassion and tolerance for them as thinking
humans, but also allows them opportunities to develop critical thinking, which helps to shape whom they become as adults. 相似文献

困境与突破:论中国教育学范式 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
In this paper, the paradigm of China’s pedagogy means a way of thinking followed and adhered to by Chinese educationists from
the establishment of New China till now when they consider, study and conceive problems of pedagogy. This way of thinking
guides educationists to have particular study directions, unique modes of pedagogy establishment and special framework of
problem solving. And furthermore, it forms the study tradition of China’s pedagogy and stipulates the developing orientation
of China’s pedagogy. From the establishment of New China till now, we have been edified by the paradigms in the Soviet Union
and the Western countries and restricted by “Western paradigm” and “Soviet Paradigm”, without any paradigm of our own. The
paradigm crisis in the development of China’ pedagogy has obstructed the healthy development of China’s pedagogy. The establishment
of China’s pedagogy should start with establishing the subject-educationists and establishing the object-“paradigm system”.
The establishment of China’s pedagogy paradigm will contribute greatly to the origination of China’s pedagogy and its academic
schools.

John Settlage’s article—Counterstories from White Mainstream Preservice Teachers: Resisting the Master Narrative of Deficit by Default—outlines his endeavour to enable pre-service teachers to develop culturally responsive science teaching identities for resisting
the master narrative of deficit thinking when confronted by the culturally different ‘other.’ Case study results are presented
of the role of counterstories in enabling five pre-service teachers to overcome deficit thinking. In this forum, Philip Moore,
a cultural anthropologist and university professor, deepens our understanding of the power and significance of counterstories
as an educational tool for enabling students to deconstruct oppressive master narratives. Jill Slay, dean of a science faculty,
examines her own master narrative about the compatibility of culturally similar academics and graduate students, and finds
it lacking. But first, I introduce this scholarship with background notes on the critical paradigm and its adversary, the
grand narrative of science education, following which I give an appreciative understanding of John’s pedagogical use of counterstories
as a transformative strategy for multi-worldview science teacher education. 相似文献

The objective of this study is to facilitate in-service chemistry teachers’ understanding of nature of science and what ‘ideas-about-science’
can be included in the classroom. The study is based on 17 in-service teachers who had registered for a 11-week course on
‘Epistemology of Science Teaching’ as part of their Master’s degree program. The course is based on 17 readings drawing on
nature of science and its critical evaluation. Course activities included written reports, classroom discussions based on
participants’ presentations and written exams. Based on the results obtained this study has the following educational implications:
(a) Experimental data need to be interpreted carefully due to underdetermination of theories by data; (b) Kuhn’s normal science
manifests itself in the science curriculum through the scientific method and wields considerable influence; (c) Trilemma posed
by Collins (Stud Sci Educ 35:169–173, 2000), viz., creation of new knowledge ⇔ Kuhn’s normal science ⇔ teaching nature of
science, provided a big challenge and was thought provoking; (d) Of the different aspects of nature of science suggested by
experts, these teachers endorsed the following as most important: Creativity, Historical development of scientific knowledge,
Diversity of scientific thinking and Scientific method and critical testing; (e) With respect to the contradiction between
the positions of Lederman et al. (J Res Sci Teach 39:497–521, 2002) and Osborne et al. (J Res Sci Teach 40:692–720, 2003),
few supported the position of latter, viz., inclusion of scientific method in the classroom and a majority supported the former,
viz., scientific method as a myth; and (f) Participants were critical of the present stage of research with respect to the
scientific method and suggested the introduction of history, philosophy and epistemology of science to counteract its influence. 相似文献

EUROPEAN CONSCIOUSNESS: TOWARDS DEFINING A COMPLEX CONCEPT AND ITS EDUCATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE – The present study aims at a
definition of ‘European consciousness’. In particular, it draws on Henri Tajfel’s theory of social identity as well as Roland
Wakenhut’s and Jutta Gallenmüller’s moral determination of national consciousness. European consciousness is then defined
as a sense of belonging which, depending on certain identification structures and social perspectives, can take such distinct
forms of moral consciousness as ‘Eurocentrism’, ‘European patriotism’, or ‘reflective European consciousness’. Making reference
to Wolfgang Klafki’s notion of general education, it is finally argued that the emancipatory contribution of schooling to
greater European integration consists in mediating precisely this last way of thinking. 相似文献

Kuhn underlined the relevance of Galileo’s gestalt switch in the interpretation of a swinging body from constrained fall to
time metre. But the new interpretation did not eliminate the older one. The constrained fall, both in the motion of pendulums
and along inclined planes, led Galileo to the law of free fall. Experimenting with physical pendulums and assuming the impossibility
of perpetual motion Huygens obtained a law of conservation of vis viva at specific positions, beautifully commented by Mach. Daniel Bernoulli generalised Huygens results introducing the concept
of potential and the related independence of the ‘work’ done from the trajectories (paths) followed: vis viva conservation at specific positions is now linked with the potential. Feynman’s modern way of teaching the subject shows striking
similarities with Bernoulli’s approach. A number of animations and simulations can help to visualise and teach some of the
pendulum’s interpretations related to what we now see as instances of energy conservation. 相似文献

Educational research has been criticised by governments and practitioners. For some politicians and policy makers, there is
a tendency to look for direct links between research and successful, effective and efficient practice. Research is needed
to inform their evidence-based practice as policy makers, and to provide the kind of research teachers need to base their
practice on the best available evidence for doing ‘x rather than y’ (Hargreaves 1996) or predicting the ‘size of the effect
of A on B’ (Blunkett 2000). There is no doubt that both teachers and policy makers do make decisions on a daily basis based
on some form of evidence. This paper explores Hargreaves’ notion of evidence-based practice, providing a range of criticisms.
It also examines Carr’s historical account of ‘praxis’ and ‘poiesis’ to suggest a notion of evidence-based praxis based partly
on the historical notion of ‘phronesis’ — practical wisdom. The basis for this is the argument that wise and practical ethical
and moral judgements are central to an understanding of teachers’ daily work. What to do in a specific educational situation
cannot be determined solely by theoretical beliefs or by ‘techne’. However the ethical dimension is not the only consideration.
The paper suggests that evidence-based praxis use Stenhouse’s notion of ‘actionable evidence’, which includes the ethical
dimension, but also Thomson’s concept of ‘thisness’, which describes the unique contextual characteristics of a school. If
disadvantaged schools can make some sort of difference to learning opportunities for students, it is argued that teachers
might engage in evidence-based praxis which involves them in reflecting on, and theorising what is happening in classrooms,
schools and neighbourhoods. This ‘praxis’ also involves them in modifying their theories, critically analysing ‘what works’,
questioning how they know and developing ideas about how things might be done differently. There will be an element of developing
knowledge about teaching and learning strategies (Hargreaves’ ‘body of knowledge’), but it will be in the context of the ethical
and moral dilemmas associated with education. It will take up the question of local differences as well as a realistic approach
to what constitutes actual school improvement. Evidence-based praxis is also essentially a collective activity not an individual
approach. Future development of the notion of evidence-based praxis might also include involving students in a more reciprocal
and open learning process like that highlighted by researchers who focus on student participation linked to school reform. 相似文献

This response to Mitchell and Mueller’s “A philosophical analysis of David Orr’s theory of ecological literacy” comments on
their critique of Orr’s use of the phrase “ecological crisis” and what I perceive as their conflicting views of “crisis.”
I present my views on ecological crisis informed by standpoint theory and the definition of crisis as turning point. I connect
the concept of turning point to tipping point as used in ecology to describe potentially irreversible changes in coupled social-ecological
systems. I suggest that sustainable societies may provide models of adaptive learning in which monitoring of ecological phenomena
is coupled to human behavior to mitigate threats to sustainability before a crisis/tipping point is reached. Finally, I discuss
the Hawai‘i State Department of Education’s removal of its Indigenous science content standard Mālama I Ka ‘Āina, Sustainability and its continued use in community-based projects. 相似文献

Thomas Kuhn draws the distinction between textbook history of science and history of science proper. The question addressed
in the paper is whether Kuhn recommends the inclusion of distortive textbook history in science education. It is argued, pace Fuller, that Kuhn does not make normative suggestions. He does not urge the teaching of bad history and he does not aim to
deceive the scientists. He highlights the significance of the retrospective history of the textbooks as a condition for the
practice of science. If science is to be seen as a practice and not as a set of propositions, then textbook history is instrumental
in establishing and expanding the new paradigm. The other kind of history, the history of science proper, can only be taught
as part of the students’ general education and not as part of science education. 相似文献

Scaffolding practices that enhance mathematics learning 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Julia Anghileri 《Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education》2006,9(1):33-52
It is over 25 years since Wood, Bruner and Ross (1976, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 17, 89–100) introduced the idea of ‘scaffolding’ to represent the way children’s learning can be supported. Despite problems,
this metaphor has enduring attraction in the way it emphasises the intent to support a sound foundation with increasing independence
for the learner as understanding becomes more secure. It has resonance with the widely accepted notion in teaching of construction
and the constructivist paradigm for learning. The discussion that follows will characterise some teaching approaches that
can be identified as scaffolding, revisiting some of the original classifications, and identifying further scaffolding strategies
with particular reference to mathematics learning. Examples will be given from studies relating to geometry learning with
four to 6 year olds and to arithmetic learning with older pupils. 相似文献

The aims of this study were considered under three headings. The first was to elicit misconception that science and physics
student teachers (pre-service teachers) had about the terms, ‘‘inertial mass’’, ‘‘gravitational mass’’, ‘‘gravity’’, ‘‘gravitational
force’’ and “weight”. The second was to understand how prior learning affected their misconceptions, and whether teachers’
misconceptions affected their students’ learning. The third was to determine the differences between science and physics student
teachers’ understanding levels related to mass and gravity, and between their logical thinking ability levels and their attitudes
toward physics lessons. A total of 267 science and physics student teachers participated in the study. Data collection instruments
included the physics concept test, the logical thinking ability test and physics attitude scale. All instruments were administered
to the participants at the end of the 3rd semester of their university years. The physics test consisting of paper and pencil
test involving 16 questions was designed, but only four questions were related to mass and gravity; the second test consisted
of 10 questions with two stages. The third test however, consisted of 15 likert type items. As a result of the analysis undertaken,
it was found that student teachers had serious misconceptions about inertia, gravity, gravitational acceleration, gravitational
force and weight concepts. The results also revealed that student teachers generally had positive attitudes toward physics
lessons, and their logical thinking level was fairly good. 相似文献

The purpose of this article is to analyze the meaning and presumptions of competence in the concrete context of knowledge
capitalism. First, the nature of competence as a ‘commodification of human ability’ that obtains a standardized monetary value
to sell in the labor market, is elucidated by applying Karl Marx’s critical theory. Second, it is further investigated that,
in the new context of the global learning economy, the production of the competence as a commodity itself becomes a key industry,
representing itself a crucialsub- system of knowledge capitalism. Third, this paper explains how competence discourse has a great deal to do with the current drastic
changes in the educational paradigm from ‘nation-state education’ to ‘global learning economy’. These changes are illustrated
by how traditional school subject-based curricula are replaced by competency-based curricula, academic qualifications integrated
into a unified form of qualification framework, and school achievement is evaluated according to the ‘demanded workplace competence’.
It is also argued that human competencies by nature have ‘double-bind’ characteristics: while it is pushed to meet the demands
as knowledge commodities, human beings themselves are beyond any notion of tradability, and the new capitalism based on human
commodities, if any, should reveal new rules to play the game. 相似文献

The notions of ‘idealisation’ and ‘approximation’ are strongly linked to the question of ‘how our theories represent the phenomena
in their scope’. Although there is no consensus amongst Philosophers on the nature of the process of idealisation and how
it affects theoretical representation, at the level of science education much can be gained from the insights of existing
philosophical analyses. Traditionally, teaching methodologies treat the observed divergence between theoretical predictions
and experimental data by appealing to the more common-sensical notion of ‘approximation’. The use of the latter notion, however,
to explicate discrepancies between theory and experiment obscures the theory/experiment relation. It does so, I argue, because
from the viewpoint of scientific modelling ‘approximation’ either depends upon or piggybacks on ‘idealisation’. 相似文献

Higher education and its communities: Interconnections, interdependencies and a research agenda 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Universities everywhere are being forced to carefully reconsider their role in society and to evaluate the relationships with
their various constituencies, stakeholders, and communities. In this article, stakeholder analysis is put forward as a tool to assist universities in classifying stakeholders and determining stakeholder salience. Increasingly
universities are expected to assume a third mission and to engage in interactions with industrial and regional partners. While incentive schemes and government programmes try
to encourage universities to reach out more to external communities, some important barriers to such linkages still remain.
To fulfil their obligation towards being a socially accountable institution and to prevent mission overload, universities will have to carefully select their stakeholders and identify the ‘right’ degree of differentiation. For the
university, thinking in terms of partnerships with key stakeholders has important implications for its governance and accountability
arrangements. For the future of the universities we foresee a change towards networked governance and arrangements to ensure accountability along the lines of corporate social responsibility. In order to further explore some of these concepts and to empirically investigate the tendencies suggested here, this article
proposes an ambitious research agenda for tackling the emerging issues of governance, stakeholder management and higher education’s
interaction with society. 相似文献

This paper examines the change in young children’s understanding of ‘equal’, ‘more’, ‘less’, and ‘between’, words commonly
used in equivalent and non-equivalent situations, over a 3-year period. Seventy-six children participated in the longitudinal
study. Each year they were asked to share their understanding of these four words. Past research has indicated that many children
have limited understanding of ‘equal’ as quantitative sameness. The results of this research suggested that many children
also have limited understanding of ‘more’ and ‘less’ and that these understandings did not significantly change over the 3-year
period. 相似文献

Differences and contradictions in understanding education policies such as ‘Teach Less, learn More’ may cause confusion between
the intended meaning and actual implementation. Approaches to understanding public policy, such as discourse analysis, are
useful for highlighting such differences, but do not explain how these differences may be explained in relation to each other.
Phenomenography and variation theory offer an alternative, by examining the variation within, rather than the differences between, experiences of an educational policy. In the past decade, there have been significant developments in the theoretical and
methodological underpinnings of phenomenography which were initially labeled as ‘new phenomenography’, but gradually came
to accepted as variation theory. In this article, I trace the development of phenomenography to variation theory and explain
the critical differences between classical phenomenography and variation theory. I argue that variation theory is useful for
describing educational policy from the perspective of how it is experienced, and that these different ways of experiencing
a policy may in turn be understood and utilised in theoretical, analytical and pedagogical ways. 相似文献

In the last three decades there have been a variety of studies of what is often referred to as ‘everyday’ or ‘street’ mathematics.
These studies have documented a rich variety of arithmetic practices involved in activities such as tailoring, carpet laying,
dieting, or grocery shopping. More importantly, these studies have helped to rectify outmoded models of rationality, cognition,
and (school) instruction. Despite these important achievements, doubts can be raised about the ways in which theoretical conclusions
have been drawn from empirical materials. Furthermore, while these studies rightly criticised prevalent theories of rationality
and cognition as too simplistic to account for everyday activities, it seems that some of the proposed alternatives suffer
from similar flaws (i.e., are straightforward inversions of the to-be-opposed theories, rather than more nuanced views on
complicated issues). In this article we illustrate our sceptical view by discussing four case studies in Jean Lave’s pioneering
and influential ‘Cognition in Practice’ (1988). By looking at the case studies in detail, we investigate how Lave’s conclusions
relate to the empirical materials and offer alternative characterisations. In particular, we question whether the empirical
studies demonstrate the existence of two different kinds of mathematics (‘everyday’ and ‘school,’ or ‘formal’ and ‘informal’) and whether school instruction tries to replace the
former with the latter.

This paper is a response to Maria Andree’s paper. Andree tells in the paper how mistakes in practical lessons may be critical
events to change students’ attitudes in regard science. While traditionally mistakes in practical lessons could obligate students
to repeat the experiment in order to get the ‘right result’ in the paper we have a good example how we can use the incident
to potentiate students’ participation. In my response I illustrate how transferable is what Andree speaks about but I put
forward further reflections about the traditions that may act as impediment for students’ participation. I thus suggest that
the critical paradigm should be a component in reflecting about science classroom practices in order to alter the traditions. 相似文献
