This forum discussion focuses on seven themes drawn from Sonya’s fascinating paper: the terminology of “cogenerative dialogues,”
the roles of participants and their power relations within such dialogues, the use of metaphor and analogy in the paper, science
and science education for all students, the ways in which students’ expectations about learning change in innovative classrooms,
teacher research and the “theory-practice gap,” and the tension between conducting cogenerative dialogues with individual
students or with whole classes. These themes by no means exhaust the ideas in Sonya’s paper, but we feel that they have allowed
us to explore the classroom research she reports, and to extend our discussion beyond the paper to explore some of these themes
more broadly. 相似文献

The vastness of the World Wide Web is both its attraction and its challenge. For people with a high-speed connection, plenty of time, and experience with technology, the Web can be a wonderful resource. Unfortunately, most teachers needing instructional resources for their classrooms do not have these assets. LEARN NC was created with this mainstream of teachers in mind, and to a great extent we have made the Web more accessible to them. Although we cannot give them more or faster Internet connections, we can help them make more efficient use of the time they have by making resources easy to use and providing training. We have been most successful when we have been able to “boil down” the content of the World Wide Web into a more manageable form. This requires a difficult balancing act: in order to provide as much good educational content as possible, we are constantly expanding our resources, but this growing content must be kept manageable and easy to access, or teachers will not be willing or able to use it. As a result, we must continually refine our existing resources. With these refinements, we believe—and our participating teachers concur—that our “one-stop-shopping” approach to educational technology is a helpful one for teachers and can provide a useful model for educators elsewhere 相似文献

Teacher education programs are facing a range of external pressures today — from shifts in the educational landscape to an ever-expanding curriculum to meet changing standards. In this article we shared how our process of “reforming from without by leading from within” is the beginning of a culture change. Partnership initiatives, newly involved classroom teachers, school liaisons, training for classroom teachers and university faculty alike, all may make a difference in our culture and our efforts. As teacher educators we must adapt our programs to the changing standards for teachers, accountability measures and student testing, and a diverse population. The ETRA faculty at Northern Illinois University lead from within by seizing opportunities in administrative changes, existing partnerships, funding opportunities, and collaborations. Our goal continues to focus on demonstrating that technology innovation may serve an important role in coping with these external pressures and achieving the changes required. 相似文献

Conclusion In conclusion, as early childhood teachers prepare to meet the “unknown” —mainstreaming—the early childhood community has
an excellent opportunity to benefit from both past experiences and the research literature on mainstreaming and teacher change.
This work suggests that teachers' feelings and attitudes about mainstreaming must be addressed in dynamic relation to their
needs for information and skills as these change over time. Teachers, directors, and teacher educators need help in understanding
that teachers' development and the development of the children they teach are inextricably linked. While these concepts have
been explored previously, it is imperative that practitioners at all levels recognize their relevance at this critical juncture
in the implementation of P.L. 99–457 and consider new and creative ways to translate them into practice.
I feel... not just that I couldn't cope with it... but emotionally I don't think I could... Emotionally I think I would have
a hard time, you know, going home and feeling good about myself when I know that there's this child [with disabilities in
my classroom]. 相似文献

“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

During the 1970s, student-centred instruction—that is, “play orientation in physics education” (Spielorientierter Unterricht)—was
at the centre of curriculum development at the Institute of Physics Education in Bremen. During the past decade, we investigated
this kind of instruction with a particular focus on students' learning processes using a situated cognition perspective. Our
research group at the Institute conducted several empirical studies of physics learning for different age groups. The aim
of these case studies was to construct detailed understandings of how individual learning processes unfold. On the basis of
these studies, we attempt to design physics lessons more effectively than they have been in the past. This paper exemplifies
our approach providing information about the theoretical and methodological frameworks, the main outcomes of our studies;
and reflections about the possibilities for “more effective” student-centred instruction. 相似文献

V. Summary Once we clear out the undergrowth so that the Jungle of Confusion becomes a Forest of Learning, the child with a unique learning
style or specific language disability can be invited into it to succeed, to learn and to “become”. There are many ways this
child can go through the forest—we can find a guide to take him through, and he will be likely to see only what the guide
shows him; or we can allow him to go through alone and risk the chance of losing him; or we can put him in a plane and fly
him over so he can see from a distance but never get involved; or we can put him in a car and drive him around the perimeter;
or we can set him on a path which will limit his exposure to learning; OR we can teach him to use a compass so he can work
his way through with an independent sense of direction and security. If we honestly accept responsibility for our role in
the lives of these children, wemust clean up our forest; and, we must teach children how to use a compass (basic skills). As leading explorers of knowledge,
rather than merely critics of the negative or headmasters in the function of memory, or prophets of doom, we should give these
children basic tools to allow them to learn and successfully develop a capacity for independent living.
As Mrs. de Hirsch stated last evening, “children need living models who are intelligent—who have integrity and character”.
Yes, they need models to lead them—models who believe in them, who will equip them and then let them honestly“become”. Our challenge is clear—wemust go from materials-centered teaching vagueness to child-centered teaching excellence if this Jungle of Confusion is to become
a Forest of Learning.

This study investigates the effective research-based characteristics of professional development (ERBCPD) of the National
Science Foundation’s GK-12 Program—a program which partners institutions of higher education with local school districts and
places science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduates in the K-12 classroom with teachers. Final evaluations
of 26 GK-12 sites were analyzed with a priori and emergent content analyses, which included rigorous inter- and intra-reliability
testing. The results of the a priori analysis demonstrated that the GK-12 program incorporates all ERBCPD, but to drastically
varying degrees (76–5%). The a priori characteristics that appeared most often were “Treats Fellows as professionals,” and
“Professional development is on-going.” The two emergent characteristics included “Improves communication skills” and “Has
real world application.” 相似文献

Conclusion The 1914 definition of geek reads: (1) a person, often of an intellectual bent, who is disapproved of, (2) a carnival performer
often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake (Merriam-Webster, 1997).
Nowadays geeks rule. Geeks are now enmeshed at a very high level in every facet of the information age that is changing the
world spinning under our feet. Geeks are literally building this new information world by producing the software and hardware
that make it run. Geeks get work, geeks are becoming attractive partners, and geeks are actually cool! The times they are
a changin” !
Perhaps a new definition in the year 2000 might read: ( 1 ) a person prone to energetic acceptance of emerging technology,
esp. computers and the Internet, (2) one whose act includes selfdirected learning of such technology.
Geek learning is basically self-directed learning with a heavy dash of exploratory learning thrown in for good measure. However,
support for selfdirected learning in higher education has been shown to be very low (Wilcox, 1996). This low level of support
is evidence of the resistance to the new information age, a natural but dangerous reaction to chaos.
I believe that the chaotic and decentralized nature of the exploding information age demands a reexamination of theories such
as “self-directed” and “exploratory” learning— terms coined by non-geeks to describe things geeks do naturally.
In these times, teachers and instructional designers grappling with how to facilitate technology learning should heed the
advice of the old expression, “When in Rome ...” and just let it go, and G.E.E.K.O.U.T! 相似文献

This paper responds to Schademan’s “What does playing cards have to do with science? A resource—rich view of African American
young men”, and takes a resource-rich view to explore the notion of agency and elements of cultural resources that minority
and marginalised students bring to the classroom. The paper examines the deficit model, the need to adopt capacity building
perspective, and a classroom study, which sought to contextualise capacity building with a group of Australian indigenous
students in a science class. As science educators, we need to reject the deficit model by developing capacity building pedagogies
that affirm minority and marginalised students’ lived languages, experiences and knowledge in their learning. 相似文献

In this article we analyze the dialogic learning of one pair of students in order to investigate how these students cope with a collaborative learning situation in the classroom. Our aim is to substantiate the claims that not only are young students (8 year olds) capable of solving mathematical problems collaboratively, but that they also take an active role in regulating their collaborative learning activities. More specifically, our claim is that children appear to apply constructs of “mathematical level raising”, “social interaction” and “division of time” to steer their own collaborative learning and that they are rather successful in balancing these three aspects. The analysis is exploratory, but this new perspective on collaborative learning is relevant theoretically and consequential for classroom practice. 相似文献

A sense of place 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Ruth Wilson 《Early Childhood Education Journal》1997,24(3):191-194
Conclusion Places shape the stories of our lives. These stories become ongoing “ecological conversations”—i.e., expressions of the dialogue
between ourselves and the environment (Lutts, 1985). When this conversation ends, so will our future.
The development of healthy environmental awareness and concern starts with a feeling response to nature. Such a response comes
primarily by way of firsthand positive experiences in the out-of-doors, especially in environments fostering a “sense of place”
experience. Attention to creating a sense of place for young children can thus prove helpful in fostering a lifelong commitment
to the natural environment. In designing “sense of place” play and learning spaces for young children, we are, indeed, designing
the future as well. 相似文献

Burden of Acting Neither White Nor Black: Asian American Identities and Achievement in Urban Schools
Jamie Lew 《The Urban Review》2006,38(5):335-352
Ogbu’s theory of “burden of acting white” has been one of the most frequently cited studies to explain black and white achievement
gap. However, emerging studies have argued that Ogbu’s theory may be limited when examining variability of school achievement
among black and white students. Research shows that in addition to culture, other social forces, such as class, peer networks,
and school context may play a significant role when accounting for minority students’ academic aspirations and achievement.
In the midst of this on-going debate, however, there is a limited understanding of how, if at all, theory of “acting white”
plays a role for racial groups other than black and white students. By extending the discussion beyond a black-and-white discourse,
this research examines how Asian American students in two different social and economic contexts, negotiate their race and
ethnic identities. Framed by a prevalent model minority stereotype that conflates Asian Americans with whiteness, the findings
show that portrayal of Asian “success” much like black “failure” cannot be explained solely on their cultural orientation.
By comparing experiences of two groups of Korean American students—both high- and low-achieving—in different economic and
school contexts, this study illustrates how the two groups of Korean American students adopt different racial strategies depending
on their socioeconomic backgrounds, peer networks, and school contexts. Using Korean American students in urban schools as
a case study, this research complicates and challenges our understanding of the role of culture in school achievement and
illustrates how culture intersects with class, race, and schools.

Research in Mexican schools, drawing upon earlier research in the UK, has led to the development and use of a method for describing, comparing and evaluating the particular approaches and interactional strategies used by teachers and learners. Using this method, qualitative and quantitative comparisons are made to distinguish between teachers who use a conventional, formal, directive approach when teaching 5-year-old children mathematical skills (called the “Official” method) and those who use a more interactive, collaborative, supportive, “scaffolded” approach to teach similar classes of children (called the “High Scope” method). In an earlier study, we found more competent and independent problem-solving among High/Scope pupils than among their peers taught by the Official method. In the present study, discourse analysis and statistical analysis of the relative frequencies of types of teacher-pupil interaction in the classrooms of two “Official” teachers and two “High’ Scope” teachers are used to explain the improved problem-solving of the “High Scope” pupils. The findings support the view that by creating a more collaborative, scaffolded version of classroom education, teachers can more successfully enable children to develop their own problem-solving skills, learning strategies and curriculum-related understanding. The research also contributes to the development and implementation of methods for promoting a more effective style of teacher-learner interaction in the classroom. 相似文献

In a European project—CoReflect—researchers in seven countries are developing, implementing and evaluating teaching sequences
using a web-based platform (STOCHASMOS). The interactive web-based inquiry materials support collaborative and reflective
work. The learning environments will be iteratively tested and refined, during different phases of the project. All learning
environments are focusing “socio-scientific issues”. In this article we report from the pilot implementation of the Swedish
learning environment which has an Astrobiology context. The socio-scientific driving questions are “Should we look for, and
try to contact, extraterrestrial life?”, and “Should we transform Mars into a planet where humans can live in the future?”
The students were in their last year of compulsory school (16 years old), and worked together in triads. We report from the
groups’ decisions and the support used for their claims. On a group level a majority of the student groups in their final
statements express reluctance towards both the search of extraterrestrial life and the terraforming of Mars. The support used
by the students are reported and discussed. We also look more closely into the argumentation of one of the student groups.
The results presented in this article, differ from earlier studies on students’ argumentation and decision making on socio-scientific
issues (Aikenhead in Science education for everyday life. Evidence-based practice. Teachers College Press, New York, (2006) for an overview), in that they suggest that students do use science related arguments—both from “core” and “frontier” science—in
their argumentation and decision making. 相似文献

Drawing on 60 qualitative interviews with Canada research chairs (CRCs), we explore their careers in context. We develop a
model to understand the intersection of individual and institutional factors that shape the everyday experiences of the CRCs.
The model shows the dialectical relationship between faculty identity, research, relations with colleagues and students, and
institutional practices and structures. We classify individuals’ experiences as “good,” “bad,” or “ugly.” The interviews show
that while a majority of CRCs have a positive experience, others have a negative experience that is prone to becoming ugly
when institutional practices and systemic factors impede the work of the CRC. We discuss the perceived problems with the CRC
program from the standpoint of Chairholders, and the implications of our findings for the CRC program and universities. As
well, we propose that additional research on the professoriate is needed to determine whether or not the model from our study
is generalizable beyond our sample. 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

This forum considers argumentation as a means of science teaching in South African schools, through the integration of indigenous
knowledge (IK). It addresses issues raised in Mariana G. Hewson and Meshach B. Ogunniyi’s paper entitled: Argumentation-teaching
as a method to introduce indigenous knowledge into science classrooms: opportunities and challenges. As well as Peter Easton’s:
Hawks and baby chickens: cultivating the sources of indigenous science education; and, Femi S. Otulaja, Ann Cameron and Audrey
Msimanga’s: Rethinking argumentation-teaching strategies and indigenous knowledge in South African science classrooms. The
first topic addressed is that implementation of argumentation in the science classroom becomes a complex endeavor when the
tensions between students’ IK, the educational infrastructure (allowance for teacher professional development, etc.) and local
belief systems are made explicit. Secondly, western styles of debate become mitigating factors because they do not always
adequately translate to South African culture. For example, in many instances it is more culturally acceptable in South Africa
to build consensus than to be confrontational. Thirdly, the tension between what is “authentic science” and what is not becomes
an influencing factor when a tension is created between IK and western science. Finally, I argue that the thrust of argumentation
is to set students up as “scientist-students” who will be considered through a deficit model by judging their habitus and
cultural capital. Explicitly, a “scientist-student” is a student who has “learned,” modeled and thoroughly assimilated the
habits of western scientists, evidently—and who will be judged by and held accountable for their demonstration of explicit
related behaviors in the science classroom. I propose that science teaching, to include argumentation, should consist of “listening
carefully” (radical listening) to students and valuing their language, culture, and learning as a model for
“science for all”. 相似文献
