Peter Hollindale 《Children‘s Literature in Education》1995,26(1):83-95
Peter Hollindale first developed critical interests in children's literature during postgraduate teacher training at the University of Bristol,
where he was taught by Margaret Meek. After teaching for several years in secondary schools he was appointed to the University
of York, where he is senior lecturer in English and educational studies. He now teaches an undergraduate special paper on
children's literature in the Department of English there. His bookChoosing Books for Children, a guide for parents, was published in 1974, and he has since written extensively on children's literature in academic and
professional journals. His article “Ideology and the Children's Book,” which appeared inSignal 55, received the Children's Literature Association Prize for the best essay in the field of children's literature published
in 1988. In recent years he has worked closely on J. M. Barrie. His edition of the “Peter Pan” prose texts was published by
Oxford University Press in 1991, andPeter Pan and Other Plays appears from the same publisher in 1995. He is interested in reworkings and adaptations of classic children's texts for film
and television, and his study of Steven Spielberg'sHook was published inSignal 72 in 1993. For Thimble Press he is currently completingSigns of Childness: A Short Philosophy of Children's Literature. He has contributed a number of articles toCLE, the most recent being “Westall's Kingdom” in the 1994 Autumn issue. 相似文献

Examining Gifted Students Who Are Economically At-Risk to Determine Factors that Influence Their Early Reading Success 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Lora Battle Bailey 《Early Childhood Education Journal》2006,33(5):307-315
The aim of this study was to determine whether the Frequency with which parents read to their children, Preschool Exposure and the initial Age that students “who are economically at-risk” were first exposed to significant literacy activities at home or in a preschool setting affected their reading grades. Students “who are economically at-risk,” for the scope of this study, are those students whose family incomes qualify them to receive either free or reduced lunches. The criteria set forth by the United States Department of Agriculture’s School Lunch Program and Child Nutrition Web site (United States Department of Agriculture, 2005) was used to determine whether families were qualified to receive reductions in the price of their school meals. Parents of students from six southeast Alabama schools were selected to participate in the study. All six schools administered the Questioning, Understanding, Enriching, Seeking and Thinking (QUEST) program for gifted or academically successful students. The subjects were 84 parents/families with public school children who are economically at-risk and participated in the QUEST program. Data were gathered using a questionnaire developed by the researcher. Instructional implications for this research study are to (1) improve reading instruction for economically at-risk students within our nation’s elementary schools; (2) equip parents with teaching tools and theories for providing critical pre-reading skills to their young children and (3) to provide sound research for teacher educators to base their instruction to preservice teachers preparing to teach students who are economically at-risk. 相似文献

Conclusion I applaud ISTE, AASL, AECT, and the other organizations involved for tackling the “messy work” of developing standards for
the use of technology and information resources in schools. And, at the same time, I call for a “second generation” of standards
that define realistic expectations for teachers based on the subjects and levels they are called upon to teach. I propose
that professional organizations from each subject work with ISTE and AECT to complete this huge task, and I propose that we
consider as a “next step” the creation of a set of on-line learning experiences through which teachers can gain the identified
skills and knowledge by using the very technologies we’re hoping they’ll embrace in their own teaching.
There’s an old saying, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do.” As far as educational technologies are concerned,
this is also true. For many, the goal seems to have been simply to “get more computers into the schools,” without much thought
about purpose. To return to Phil Schlechty’s metaphor, It’s generally been a brief and misguided “Ready” stage (occupied with
questions like “How many do we need?” “What type?” “Where?” and “How shall we connect them?”), followed by “Fire!” (the acquisition
and installation of equipment). What we need is: “Ready” (the creation of appropriate teams of people who will combine their
insights to plan for the district)... “Aim” (a series of discussions about what technologies can accomplish for schools and
the students they serve)... “Fire” (acquisition, installation, and professional development according to plan)... “Aim” (an
assessment of how well the technologies and related programs met the intended goals, and a new planning effort designed to
close the gap)... “Fire” (acquisition and implementation designed to eliminate the gap)... “Aim” (another gap assessment)...
“Fire” (another attempt to close gaps)..., And so on. 相似文献

This article addresses the role of exemplary teachers of students of color in educational reform. Using an ethnographic study
of two urban junior high schools in the beginning stages of restructuring, I describe threeculturally relevant teachers who create empowering educational experiences for low-achieving African American students. Despite their exemplary
practice and their enthusiasm for educational change, thewisdom of practice of these teachers was largely discounted in the restructuring process. They were marginalized by ideological and political
contexts which suppressed racial issues and advocacy for African American students and which supported a deficit model of
low-achieving African American students. Restructuring fostered little examination of policies, practices, and beliefs which
tended to marginalize African American students. This research suggests that professional dialogue and collaboration are mediated
by teachers' ideologies and by relations of power in schools and communities. If exemplary teachers of children of color are
to influence educational change, reformers need to legitimize their knowledge and sponsor their leadership. Also, reforms
that benefit marginalized children of color may require the mobilization and participation of parents and communities of color
as well as their teacher-advocates.

This paper explores the possibilities of working with White, working-class teacher education students to explore the “complex
social trajectory” (Reay in Women’s Stud Int Forum 20(2):225–233, 1997a, p. 19) of class border crossing as they progress through college. Through analysis of a course that I have developed, Education and the American Dream, I explore political and pedagogical issues in teaching the thousands of teacher education students who are the first in
their families to attend college about social class. Arguing that faculty in teacher education too often disregard the significance
of deep class differences between themselves and many of their students, I propose that teacher education include coursework
in which upwardly-mobile students (a) draw upon their distinctive perspectives as class border-crossers to elucidate their
“complex social positioning as a complicated amalgam of current privilege interlaced with historic disadvantage” (Reay in
Women’s Stud Int Forum 20(2):225–233, 1997a, p. 25) and (b) complicate what Adair and Dahlberg (Pedagogy 1:173–175, 2001, p. 174) have termed a cultural “impulse to frame class mobility as a narrative of moral progress”. Such coursework, I suggest,
has implications for the development of teacher leaders in stratified schools. The paper draws upon the literatures on social
class and educational attainment, on the construction of classed identities in spite of silence about class in public and
academic discourse, and on pedagogies for teaching across class differences. 相似文献

A science teacher and her mentor reflect on their participation in the Learning Research Cycle, a professional learning model
that bridges research and practice in both university and public school contexts. Teachers do scientific research in scientists’
laboratories, then bridge their scientific experiences with the design of new classroom learning environments and teacher-driven
educational research projects. Science students do scientific research via their teachers’ lessons that bridge laboratory
research with classroom learning. Scientists and educational researchers bridge their research interests to create new questions
centered on teaching and learning in authentic science learning environments. The authors engaged in this qualitative inquiry
present their perspectives on “what goes on,” “what we have learned,” and “what it means to the larger community.” 相似文献

Recent social policy reforms have sought to overcome the limitations of “First Way” strategies emphasizing the welfare state
and “Second Way” approaches advocating markets. Scholars and policymakers instead have begun to explore optimal synthesis
of the public and private sector in a new “Third Way” of leadership and change. According to one line of interpretation advanced
by Andy Hargreaves and Dennis Shirley, however, the Third Way as developed in education has ushered in a new orthodoxy of
testing, accountability, and data-driven decision making. This new orthodoxy is said to distract educators from their true
moral purposes. Hence, Hargreaves and Shirley have called for a new “Fourth Way” of change that draws upon international best
practices in education. In this interpretive essay for a Festschrift issue of the Journal of Educational Change celebrating Andy Hargreaves’ 60th birthday, Dennis Shirley revisits Fourth Way change architecture to inquire after the appropriate
role of new technologies in classrooms and schools. He retrieves the concept of mindful teaching and learning from the Fourth
Way change model and illustrates how it can be used as a lens to adjudicate various interpretations of the appropriate role
of new technologies in schools. 相似文献

This review essay adds to the conversation to which Allison Skerrett and Hannah Sevian contribute in their article, Identity and biography as mediators of science and mathematics faculty’s involvement in K-12 service. Here we address the need to reconceptualize faculty service in public schools and traditional notions of scholarship. We
discuss the importance of transforming university structures that envision service as less important than “scholarship” and
“teaching” while mediating hierarchical ideas of what “service” entails. We share a dialectical view of social life and an
ethical stance that values polysemy and polyphony both in research and in our daily interactions. Here we employ a dialectical
lens that seeks multiple perspectives as we engage in a dialogue about these issues. 相似文献

Educational reform in Singapore: from quantity to quality 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Pak Tee Ng 《Educational Research for Policy and Practice》2008,7(1):5-15
In 2004, Prime Minister Lee called teachers to “teach less” so that students might “learn more”. In 2005, the Ministry of
Education clarified this philosophical statement to mean transforming learning from quantity to quality—“more quality and
less quantity” in education. This is in line with the national vision of ‘Thinking Schools, Learning Nation’. This policy
initiative, which began in 2004, is set to change the fundamental nature of education in Singapore. This article discusses
this initiative, its major implications for schools in Singapore and the challenges to be addressed in the implementation
of the policy. In particular, the article discusses the issues of understanding an engaged learning paradigm, establishing
signposts for the shift from quantity to quality and the difficulties of system-wide transformation. The challenge for schools
is to go beyond the form of the initiative to bring real, substantial and sustainable educational change through this movement. 相似文献

This follow-up study to van Kraayenoord and Schneider (1999) examined the performance in reading, metacognition and motivation
related to reading of students in Grades 7 and 8. Results showed significant correlations between all of the variables. A
multivariate analysis of variance showed that “good” and “poor” readers differed in reading self-concept and metacognitive
measures related to reading and memory. A stepwise regression analysis suggested that the metacognitive variables were the
best predictors of reading. Furthermore, a comparison of the results of the previous study with those of the current investigation
revealed that the findings were stable over time. Since the period between the two studies is the time during which students
make important decisions related to enrolment in one of three distinct school-types in Germany, we examined the results of
various groups of students: those in “Gymnasium” (high educational track), “Realschule” (middle educational track), and “Hauptschule”
(low educational track). Students in the Gymnasium scored significantly better than students in the other two groups on almost
all variables related to reading. A re-analysis of the data from our first investigation found that the results of the Gymnasium
students in the second study could be predicted from their results obtained during elementary school. 相似文献

The aim of this article is to shed light on some aspects of professional responsibility by investigating students’ visions
of future work and notions of professional responsibility. The data is based on interviews with samples of freshmen in three
educational programmes at the University of Oslo in Norway. The data has been analysed in relation to two thesis claimed by
Steven Brint: “The rise of a utilitarian ethos” in higher education and the movement from “social trustee professionalism”
to “expert professionalism”. The findings show that the students in our sample do not think of higher education primarily
as a means to get credentials that will be useful in the labour marked. An intellectual interest in the discipline is the
most prevalent reason for the students’ educational choices. Furthermore our findings support an orientation towards “expert
professionalism” rather than “social trustee professionalism”. But, embedded in the perspective of an expert there is an emphasis on ethical knowledge, moral and/or societal responsibility
and the wish to do good for others. However, the students’ sense of responsibility seems to be restricted to certain “localism”
of their specific occupation. Based on the findings we argue that the students reveal a moral awareness that should be taken
seriously by the educational institution in order to foster critical rationality and professional commitments. 相似文献

In this article, I interrogate a previous and harmful “If Only” mindset I held as an early childhood literacy teacher. I describe
the “If Only” mentality as the idea that if only the parents and families of the students I taught changed, schools and teachers
could serve their children better. This deficit way of thinking led to a number of mistakes I made as a still-new, white,
middle-class, monolingual Reading Recovery teacher who was unprepared to value the home and community literacies of a population
of students and families from linguistic, cultural, and economic backgrounds other than my own. 相似文献

In an era of rapid global economic and social change, educational institutions like schools and universities are struggling
to keep their curricula and programs relevant. Singapore’s schools are no exception, especially when education is viewed as
the essential element for maintaining the nation’s global competitiveness in ways that are totally disproportionate to its
size. The current shift from an ‘efficiency-’ to an ‘ability-’ driven paradigm in education, however, is increasing uncertainty
and raising the stakes in an already pressurized system where schools, educators and students constantly compete for top academic
awards and rewards. The concept of “partnership” in Singapore education is a significant, relatively new, trend that has caught
on among local schools only since the late-1990s, with the focus on creating better “total” learning environments for students.
This paper analyses the challenges of matching rhetoric with professional practice with regard to school–home partnerships
in Singapore, and concludes that the key to authentic collaboration lies in the mutual appreciation and valuing of diversity
as well as a deep sense of shared responsibility by all parties concerned. 相似文献

Street Smarts vs. Book Smarts: The Figured World of Smartness in the Lives of Marginalized, Urban Youth 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

How smartness is defined within schools contributes to low academic achievement by poor and racial/ethnic minority students.
Using Holland et al.’s (1998) [Holland, D., Lachicotte, W., Skinner, D., & Cain, C. (Eds.) (1998). Identity and agency in cultural worlds. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.] concept of “figured worlds,” this paper explores the “figuring” of smartness through
the perspectives of marginalized youth. The youth made key distinctions between being book smart vs. street smart. This distinction
is a direct challenge by the youth to the dominant discourse of smartness or “book smarts” as it operates in schools. To the
youth, “street smarts” are more important because they are connected to being able to maneuver through structures in their
lives such as poverty, the police, street culture, and abusive “others.” This distinction is key because street smarts stress
agency in countering social structures whereas, for many of the youth, book smarts represented those structures, such as receiving a high school diploma. Implications for schools and pedagogy are discussed.

The marketization of education cannot serve as the guiding principle in constructing the modern school system, nor can it
be directly transplanted from modern enterprise system. Because the modern school system is a kind of “educational institution”
rather than an “economical institution”, what it should focus on is not the ownership of property or the distinction of property,
but on the core educational issue, that is, the students’ development. Such a kind of modern school system requires that the
government delegates power to schools to realize academic autonomy in schools (selfgovernance).

“New Basic Education” and me 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Lan Ye 《Frontiers of Education in China》2009,4(4):558-609
Initiated in September 1994, “New Basic Education” first underwent a five-year Exploratory Research phase from September 1994
to May 1999, which was followed by a second five-year Developmental Research phase from September 1999 to May 2004. Thus during
the past ten years, “New Basic Education” has undergone a complete research process, including the presentation of the problem,
the formation of results, and finally the dissemination, application, perfection, and development of its research. This study
has preliminarily explored the transformation of schools, educational theories and educational research methods in China.
The author hopes to respond actively to educational changes caused by our transforming society through her professional research.
She presents in this paper the retrospective notes of her subjective state, such as her thought process, planning, actions
and experiences while conducting and developing “New Basic Education” research.
“New Basic Education” research originated from ten years of theoretical preparation (amassing basic educational theory, the
methodology for educational research, and meta-research of educational disciplines), as well as from the author’s personal
experiences conducting field research during the past three years and her profound reflections on the nature of the social
transformations taking place in late 20th century China. During the Exploratory Research phase, “New Basic Education” research—which consists of reconstructive research
on educational theory and practice—regards the rebuilding of educational aims as its theoretical starting point. Additionally,
“New Basic Education” research regards schools, which provide nine-year compulsory education as the entire unit of practical
research. The research also focused on classroom education, teaching reform, and school management for the experimentation
and reform of the schools. As for the core issue of methodology, the crux of the issue lies in how to deal with the relations
between theoretical research and practical research and the relationship between theoretical researchers and practical researchers. 相似文献

This paper investigates the intersection of system articulation, transfer, and the choices that secondary school students
make when they apply to college and university. The investigation is based on the results of a study that was undertaken to
determine factors that influence choices that secondary school students make between enrolling in community college or university,
and in particular whether or not those choices are affected by the degree of “articulation” within a public system of post-secondary
education. There are several studies that have emerged recently in the United States and Canada that examine factors that
influence the choice of university and 4-year college. There are a few studies that examine the choice of community and 2-year
college. None, however, either in Canada or in the United States, has sought to examine “college choice” comparatively among
students who apply to baccalaureate (4-year colleges and universities) and sub-baccalaureate (community colleges) programs.
This study examines college choice on the basis of two series of longitudinal surveys conducted in the province of Ontario
since the late 1980s, and on a series of surveys and interviews of students, parents and guidance counselors in six secondary
schools, each with a different student population, since 2004. The third study—called the “college choice” project—tracked
secondary school students as they made decisions about attending college or university, and as they finally selected the institutions
that they would attend. The study concludes that greater conventional articulation will not significantly affect rates of
transfer, that for most students plans to transfer develop after they enter college and are not a major factor in their initial
“choice,” that the rate of transfer is highly dependent on the corresponding arrays of programs at colleges and universities,
and that articulation might better be thought of as a subset of other basic forms of inter-institutional cooperation.

This study examines metaphors about learning produced by a group of eighteen students at a big public university in Malaysia.
The learner perspective is placed within a wider discourse on education in order to explore whether the images employed by
the learners to describe their learning reflect the dominant conception of education as “production”. The metaphors supplied
by the participants were analyzed and classified into several themes. None of the metaphors generated by the students alluded
to the images that link education with “production”. The study contends that the student perspective on education can enrich
educational discourse and highlight the previously obscured notions on education and learning. 相似文献

Urban paraprofessionals are often overlooked but key participants in the optimal functioning of schools. In light of the recent
changes and increasing demands regarding paraprofessional qualifications stipulated by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), this study focuses on urban bilingual paraprofessionals and their beliefs about work in the context imposed by
the law. The participants cite their own experiences with motherhood and insiders’ understanding of diverse communities as
the most compelling skills they bring to their jobs, challenging NCLB’s requirements for instructional paraprofessional qualifications.
Implications for policy-making that address the worth of “life experiences” as an asset for diverse settings are offered.
Her research interests center on the possibilities and challenges that urban schools pose, on school reform approaches, on
teacher preparation, and on effective educational approaches for low-income, culturally and linguistically diverse (LCLD)
students. 相似文献

This article describes the cultural consequences of the local school closing in a predominantly black community (Centerville)
as a result of desegregation policies. Based on oral accounts of community members, the author unearths the diverse functions
the former all-black school used to have in the community. Furthermore, the possible reasons for the nostalgia with which
the community remembers its “own” school are analyzed. It is shown why the predominantly white schools to which today's students
are bused cannot possibly “pass the test” of comparison with the former community school. And finally, the article reminds
us of two promises ofBrown, only one of which has been fulfilled in the case of Centerville. While racial segregation of schooling was indeed abolished
in Centerville, the second promise ofBrown—providing equal educational opportunities for all children irrespective of race—remains elusive at best. And the very institution
that would be central to fulfilling the second promise ofBrown—a school for which the town feels a sense of ownership—was closed for the sake of desegregation.
Parts of this article have been the basis for an oral presentation at the South Atlantic Philosophy of Education Society meeting,
Richmond, VA, October 1993, and are published in the SAPES Proceedings, 1993, pp. 109–114. 相似文献
