In reform-based science curricula, students’ discursive participation is highly encouraged as a means of science learning as well as a goal of science education. However, Asian immigrant students are perceived to be quiet and passive in classroom discursive situations, and this reticence implies that they may face challenges in discourse-rich science classroom learning environments. Given this potentially conflicting situation, the present study aims to understand how and why Asian immigrant students participate in science classroom discourse. Findings from interviews with seven Korean immigrant adolescents illustrate that they are indeed hesitant to speak up in classrooms. Drawing upon cultural historical perspectives on identity and agency, this study shows how immigrant experiences shaped the participants’ othered identity and influenced their science classroom participation, as well as how they negotiated their identities and situations to participate in science classroom and peer communities. I will discuss implications of this study for science education research and science teacher education to support classroom participation of immigrant students. 相似文献

This study examined how, in some instances, participation in the cultural practices of high school science classrooms created intrapersonal conflict for ethnic minority students. Discourse analysis of videotaped science classroom activities, lectures, and laboratories was the primary methodology employed for analyzing students' discursive identity development. This analysis demonstrated differential appropriation of science discourse as four significant domains of discursive identities emerged: Opposition status, Maintenance status, Incorporation status, and Proficiency status. Students characterized as Opposition Status avoided use of science discourse. Students who exhibited Maintenance Status illustrated a commitment to maintaining their normative discourse behavior, despite a demonstrated ability to appropriate science discourse. Students characterized as Incorporation Status made active attempts to incorporate science discourse into their normative speech patterns, while Proficiency Status students demonstrated a fluency in applying scientific discursive. Implications for science education emerging from the study include the illumination of the need to make the use of specific scientific discourse an explicit component of classroom curriculum. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This paper examines the representation of ethnic minorities in China through a review of campus newspapers, a major print medium in which universities exercise power over the discourse of cultural recognition. Three universities attended by minority students were selected. A two-dimensional mode (content and configuration) is established to analyze ethnic representations. A combination of content analysis and discourse analysis is used to categorize and analyze text and photographs relevant to ethnicity. The study concludes that (1) different discursive practices are employed to construct ‘images’ of ethnic groups as ‘Others’ or ‘Us’; (2) representations of ethnic minorities and the Han generate three discursive dichotomies between minority and majority: minority groups are distinctive, potentially separatistic, and visible; and the Han people are normative, patriotic, and invisible, respectively; (3) the university media reflects an ideology of ‘state multiculturalism’ that constructs a reflexive representation of the relationship between majority and minority. 相似文献

Research indicates that affective attitudes such as liking of a subject and confidence in one’s ability within a subject predict
academic performance. Generally, immigrant minority students have positive attitudes and often have low academic performance.
This study examines the self-efficacy and liking of subjects of New Zealand students and analyses the relationship of those
attitudes towards academic performance in mathematics, writing, and reading by self-reported ethnicity. Data were obtained
from the norming samples from the Assessment Tools for Teaching and Learning project in New Zealand. Of special interest are
the relationships between attitude and performance for Pasifika and Tongan students in New Zealand. Tongan and Pasifika students
had positive attitudes, but their mean scores were not significantly different to other ethnic groups except in writing for
Tongan students. Tongan and Pasifika students did have lower academic performance than majority and Asian immigrant students
in all three subjects. The correlation between liking and self-efficacy was fundamentally zero for Tongan and Pasifika students,
while it was weakly positive for majority and Asian immigrant students. Together these results question the power of self-efficacy
and liking attitudes to predict academic performance for immigrant students from agrarian or traditional societies. Further,
the data suggest that ‘school effects’ are most likely explanations for this relationship, rather than lack of attachment,
opposition, or deficiency theories. 相似文献

This study explored relationships between characteristics of classroom talk exposure and immigrant first graders' acquisition of second language oral skills (vocabulary and listening comprehension) and literacy skills. Twenty‐six children (mean age = 6.10 years) with Turkish as their first language and Norwegian as their second, attending various multilingual and ethnically diverse classrooms in Norway, were videotaped during classroom conversations. Classroom talk was coded for vocabulary richness, discursive complexity and emergent phonics talk and the children's oral language and literacy skills were assessed. Classroom vocabulary richness and discursive complexity predicted the children's second language vocabulary skills and listening comprehension after controlling for maternal education, but did not predict their literacy skills. The density of emergent phonics talk did not predict target children's code‐related skills in this sample. Applied perspectives related to second language learning in multiparty settings are discussed. 相似文献

Little academic attention has been given to the supplementary education experience of immigrant students in the Canadian research literature, especially in a non-English speaking context such as Quebec. Yet these schools are important for understanding the influence of ethnicity as well as religion on the academic preparedness and social integration of immigrant/minority students in the public school system. From a comparative perspective, this study explores the role that secular Chinese language schools and nonsecular, church-affiliated schools play in responding to the educational needs of Chinese youth in the public schools. Data were collected through ethnographical observation in the two school contexts, as well as through in-depth interviews with Chinese immigrant students, their parents, school personnel, and church ministers. Through a Foucauldian analysis of discourse, the author found that attendance at Chinese supplementary schools benefitted these students’ academic preparedness in a variety of ways, such as the reinforcement and development of ethnic identity. In secular Chinese language schools, ethnicity seems to function through the interaction of cultural attributes and social ethnic structures, whereas in church-affiliated, nonsecular schools, the influence of ethnicity seems to shift to the impact of Christian discipleship. Through this process, church schools actually act as socializing agents that facilitate positive interpersonal relationships among peers and families. 相似文献

This article examined the various ethnic identities of Cambodian students, a group often perceived by the larger society through
the lens of the model minority stereotype but often endure low expectations from teachers and counselors in their local high
schools. Our findings suggested that a Cambodian identity was often considered a stigmatized label and students identified
as Cambodian were essentialized into the discourse of urban low achieving and culturally deficient minority students. Cambodian
students’ identities in the less selective academic programs were often quite visible to teachers. This characterization was
often coupled with a panethnic representation of Asian American students in selective programs who were considered motivated
and supported by advantageous home and cultural values. In these contexts, teachers preferred to discuss Cambodian students
in panethnic terms, ignoring students’ ethnic backgrounds, described their Cambodian students as part of their “bright Asian
students” group. Overall, this study extends other works on Asian American ethnicity and panethnicity by focusing on the conflicting
identities that affect the schooling of Cambodian students. These analyses complicate further the static notion of Asian American
students as model minorities by emphasizing the fluid, problematic, and contextually-based nature of the construct. 相似文献

Study careers of minority students in Dutch higher education are still less successful compared with the careers of majority students. Minority students still seem to experience more difficulties than majority students. Vincent Tinto’s twin concepts of academic and social integration are used here to explore the experiences of minority and majority students in Dutch higher engineering education. Based on a small‐scale interview study, it is shown that ethnic background does not seem to be a decisive, unequivocal factor in the extent to which students are integrated in institutions of higher education. Student answers show differences according to ethnic background in both social and academic integration, and these differences vary according to the year in which the students are found. The paper ends with some suggestions for further exploration. 相似文献

The study investigated the ethnic identity development of Turkish-speaking children in Norwegian preschool and first-grade classrooms, examining how they made their ethnicity interactionally relevant in everyday talk. Classroom conversations and interviews revealed their interest in ethnic diversity. The manner in which the children talked about Turkey suggested that their relationships with it represented an important emotional resource for them. The children were not naïve or indifferent to the boundaries and dissimilarities following from their ethnic minority status within Norwegian society. We identified two underlying questions in the children's talk about ethnicity – ‘Who are my people?’ and ‘How do other people see me?’ – and applied these questions as analytic categories in the exploration of ethnic identities in these young children. This study adds to the understanding of ethnic identity as situational, context-sensitive and multidimensional. 相似文献

This article explores how ethnic minority students in Hong Kong secondary schools discursively construct their identities in relation to culture, heritage, and social discourse. It finds that the ethnic minority students negotiate their identities within multiple positioning from parents, school, and the broader social discourse on minority languages and cultures. It also finds that they construct contradictory language ideologies when attempting to legitimate their heritage languages and to illegitimate the status of Chinese in the social context. The findings indicate that the participants tend to establish an essentialized cultural difference between their heritage culture and host culture. It argues that fixed and stereotyped views towards language practices and culture may lead to antagonistic relations between the ethnic minority students and locals, and become obstacles to their socialization and integration into the mainstream community. The implications for establishing a flexible and relational view on cultural differences and language use are explored. 相似文献

This paper explores the academic and psychosocial outcomes of immigrant students from the former Soviet Union (FSU) in an ethnic school in Toronto. Based on interviews with the principal, teachers, students and parents, together with questionnaire responses, the paper describes school programmes and practices that contribute to FSU immigrant students' high academic achievement, within the categories of curriculum, pedagogy, discipline policy and teacher–student relationships. The creation of this ethnic school suggests that Canada's educational system has not met the needs of the immigrant group. The paper seeks to further understanding of educating FSU immigrant students, and discusses the implications of ethnic schools for educating children in a multicultural society. 相似文献

Over the past twenty-five years researchers have been concerned with understanding the science student. The need for such
research is still grounded in contemporary issues including providing opportunities for all students to develop scientific
literacy and the failure of school science to connect with student’s lives, interests and personal identities. The research
reported here is unusual in its use of discourse analysis in social psychology to contribute to an understanding of the way
students make meaning in secondary school science. Data constructed for the study was drawn from videotapes of nine consecutive
lessons in a year-seven science classroom in Melbourne, post-lesson video-stimulated interviews with students and the teacher,
classroom observation and the students’ written work. The classroom videotapes were recorded using four cameras and seven
audio tracks by the International Centre for Classroom Research at the University of Melbourne. Student talk within and about
their science lessons was analysed from a discursive perspective. Classroom episodes in which students expressed their sense
of personal identity and agency, knowledge, attitude or emotion in relation to science were identified for detailed analysis
of the function of the discourse used by students, and in particular the way students were positioned by others or positioned
themselves. This article presents the discursive Umwelt or life-space of one middle years science student, Tasha. Her case
is used here to highlight the complex social process of meaning making in science classrooms and the need to attend to local
moral orders of rights and duties in research on student language use, identity and learning in science. 相似文献

Picturebook discussions are commonplace literacy events in contemporary classrooms. The different experiences, backgrounds and ways of being that individual students draw upon during talk around texts prompt a broad range of ways to make, negotiate and share meanings. In addition to developing students' literacy skills such as oral language, vocabulary and comprehension, these discussions have been shown to be instrumental in developing students' interpretive competence which is important for achieving learning outcomes. In this article, we report a study that investigated how four diverse groups of 10‐ and 11‐year‐old students and teachers from two schools experienced such reading events. The study found that making sense of these books was more productive when students were given permission to switch identities and make connections to their out‐of‐school cyber and popular culture worlds. Using discourse analytic techniques, we uncover the identity work during a number of discussions around two different picturebooks and show how this enabled these learners to enter the academic space and demonstrate interpretive competence. 相似文献

Research about identity has undergone a discursive turn in recent years, with a shift from conceptualising identity as an essentialistic, pre-existing construct that drives social interaction, to a more fluid and hybrid construct that is constituted through discourse. As a result, a number of recent studies investigating the construction of international student identities have supposedly adhered to this latter, postmodernist-inspired notion of identity in their analyses. However, upon closer examination, these studies appear to be premised on the assumption that what international students say can be equated with their identities, without critical attention being paid to the way in which identities emerge as a conjoint construct through interaction. In this paper, it is argued that identities are invariably jointly constructed by participants through discourse, even in interviews and focus groups where the researcher is ostensibly taking a neutral stance, and thus more attention needs to be paid to the ways in which identities are discursively negotiated through interaction. 相似文献

Studies have documented the importance of dialogic classroom discourse for supporting academic outcomes such as reading comprehension and vocabulary development. This study examines the relationship between teacher talk during whole-classroom discussions in 42 classrooms and post-discussion persuasive essays from students in grades four through seven (n = 471). Teacher talk was coded by type of question (contestable, semi-open, or quiz-like) and teachers' follow-ups (prompting, pressing for reasoning, active listening), and further categorized as indicating either high or low levels of dialogic talk. Multilevel modeling that accounts for student participation rate, discussion topic, and students' demographic information shows that high dialogic teacher talk positively predicts students’ persuasive essay scores, while low dialogic teacher talk negatively predicts their scores. The study supports existing hypotheses about the role of teacher dialogic talk in whole-class settings. 相似文献

In this study we investigate the influence of ethnic differences on student motivation when learning from formative feedback. Interpersonal teacher behavior and student motivational needs are used to explain the effects of assessment for learning on intrinsic motivation by comparing students from different ethnic backgrounds. The final study's sample consisted of 558 students from Dutch secondary vocational education. Multi-level structural equation modeling was used to test possible models. Our findings show that modes of feedback (monitoring, scaffolding) and teacher interpersonal behavior are strongly related to predictors of student motivation. In line with self-determination theory, our findings indicated that competence and relatedness mediate the effect of feedback (both monitoring and scaffolding) on motivation. Multi-group analyses showed only small differences for ethnicity, especially in relation to mode of feedback, which led us to conclude that, irrespective of the “Immigrant Paradox”, assessment for learning may facilitate feedback provision for both immigrant and native Dutch students indiscriminately, thereby enhancing motivation to learn. Implications of these findings for learning in classrooms are discussed. 相似文献

This study examines how participation in a verbal exchange during an inquiry-based classroom activity allows three college
students and their science instructor to use linguistic signs (choices of words, grammatical structures, discursive structures,
prosody and poetic discourse) to construct authority and expertise. Our work explores linguistic and interactional processes
of identification (the dynamic construction and transaction of expert identity) and examines how discursive strategies adopted
by the professor at different moments of the verbal exchange influence the students’ subsequent discursive practices and perceptions
of authority. We adopt a dialogic, socio-constructivist perspective on identity, viewing personal identities as being partially
constructed via interactional positioning. Our findings reveal that the attainment of expertise involves two different types
of language-mediated processes: the transmission of a professional vision or intension and the emergence of a perception of
agency among students. The former is centered on referential-denotative meanings of speech (elicitation of standard account
and operational definition) while the latter requires effective use of pragmatic–performative functions of speech (non-evaluative
and more than minimal recipient practices). Consideration is given to the need for science instructors to be able to utilize
pragmatic functions of language strategically to encourage students to position themselves within the identity of science
expertise. 相似文献

This article examines interview talk of three students in an Australian high school to show how they negotiate their young adult identities between school and the outside world. It draws on Bakhtin's concepts of dialogism and heteroglossia to argue that identities are linguistically and corporeally constituted. A critical discourse analysis of segments of transcribed interviews and student-related public documents finds a mismatch between a social justice curriculum at school and its transfer into students' accounts of outside school lived realities. The article concludes that a productive social justice pedagogy must use its key principles of (con)textual interrogation to engage students in reflexive practice about their positioning within and against discourses of social justice in their student and civic lives. An impending national curriculum must decide whether or not it negotiates the discursive divide any better. 相似文献
