This article discusses an educational practice that has been introduced in Rwanda, which aims to bring back into the formal
education system children who are out-of-school or unschooled, even though they are over the legal enrolment age. The authors
analyse this intensive programme, designed for children at that age and adapted to their daily living conditions, which are
particularly difficult. They also examine the factors underlying this innovative approach, its originality and the features
that make it a good practice that could be applied in other contexts. The minimal conditions for success, the implications
for teacher training, the obstacles faced and the strategies devised to overcome these obstacles are also discussed.

Since many teachers and students recognize other kinds of knowledge (faith) based on other ways of knowing, consideration
of these realities is appropriate for the science education community. Understanding the multitude of ways that clergy view
relationships between science and faith (i.e. alternative ways of knowing) would assist in understanding various ways that
people address complex issues arising from ideas about science and faith. We administered a questionnaire composed of multiple-choice
and short answer items to 63 United Methodist ministers. Findings included (1) that formal, organized faith contexts (e.g.
church services) serve as informal science education opportunities, (2) participants demonstrated considerable diversity regarding
the types of relationships developed between science and faith, and (3) participants recognized a need exists for better understandings
of science and its relationship to faith for them, their colleagues, and their congregations.

The Virtual Learning Environment ROODA: An Institutional Project of Long Distance Education 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Patricia Alejandra Behar Sílvia Meirelles Leite 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2006,15(2):159-167
This article describes ROODA (), a virtual learning environment and one of the official Long Distance Education platforms that has been in use since 2005 at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre, Brazil. It is free software that integrates syncronous and assyncronous interaction/communication tools and publications. In this study, details about institutional demands in relation to long distance education are discussed and ROODA is described with the components that were part of its development such as: modelling and programming, graphic interface and documents for users. Moreover, 19 functions were conceived. Finally, project investigation paths are presented where the platform described is inserted.

This article discusses Philip Reeve's young adult science fiction novels as literary collages. It explores the ways in which
the author uses postmodernisms to introduce big ideas and construct a compelling futuristic world that combines fast-paced
adventure with the bildungsroman.

In an earlier article I drew a distinction between two general types of listening. In one the listener brings pre-determined
categories to bear in extracting useful information from the speaker’s utterance. In the other the listener suspends such
categories to hear as much as possible in the utterance. This distinction has been challenged by Sophie Haroutunian-Gordon.
This article responds to her critique.

This qualitative study examines the collaboration and leadership practice that influences the education of homeless students
in a large Mid-Atlantic city. The perspectives of administrators and staff members from three homeless shelters are analyzed
with insights from Spillane’s (Distributed leadership, 2006) distributed leadership theory. Findings from the study indicate
that differences in shelter and school structures and cultures present significant obstacles to productive communication that
would facilitate homeless children’s schooling. Several structural and programmatic recommendations are made towards developing
more effective leadership practice among schools and shelters.

Campus-based urban legends have the potential to convey and construct student culture in higher education. Basic qualitative
and humanistic research methods were used to collect, analyze, and interpret legends related to the academic experience of
collegiate life.

This article examines why an initially successful innovative pedagogical practice was not sustained. The innovative practice
was a computer-mediated activity known as Fifth Dimension (5D) within a collaborative project between a university and a local
elementary school. The analysis identifies conflicts and transitional actions which prevented participants from continuing
the 5D and yet reveal that the 5D had an impact on the participants’ dominant activities. The analysis provides grounds for
rethinking the sustainability of innovations in school as a process of interplay between dominant and non-dominant activities
which includes conflicts and almost unnoticeable transitional actions.

The Creation of OpenCourseWare at MIT 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：2
Hal Abelson 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2008,17(2):164-174
This paper traces the genesis of the MIT OpenCourseWare project from its initial strategic precursors in 1999 and 2000, through
its launch in 2001 and its subsequent evolution. The story told here illuminates the interplay among institutional leadership,
and strategic planning, and with university culture in launching major educational technology enterprises. It also shows how
initiatives can evolve in unexpected ways, and can even surpass their initial goals. The paper concludes with an overview
of challenges facing OpenCourseWare in moving from the end of its production ramp-up and towards sustainability.

The whole mode of Galileo’s discovery of the Law of Inertia is an excellent exemplar of the Nature of Science. The law can,
moreover be shown to be a direct consequence of the hypothesis that space is homogeneous and isotropic and time is homogeneous

In this rejoinder to Bryan Brown and John Reveles, we highlight the facts that (a) sociocultural theories of learning do not
go far enough because they fail to address a number of issues and (b) we require concepts such as power and positionality
to understand science learning.

Abstract This article reports on the first two phases of a multiphase science education development project in predominantly Māori
kura (school communities) in the central region of the North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. The development project in its
entirety employs an action research methodology and by so doing endeavors to support the improvement of science education
delivery in accordance with school community aspirations. The full project (a) establishes the current situation in Year 1–8
science education in the communities; (b) identifies developmental aspirations for stakeholders within the communities and
identifies potential contributors and constraints to these aspirations; (c) implements mechanisms for achieving identified
aspirations; and finally; (d) evaluates the effectiveness of such mechanisms. In its focus on the first two phases, this article
incorporates the analytical lenses of Kaupapa Māori Theory and Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological model. It concludes by outlining
some priorities to consider for science education development based on the outcomes of our preliminary discussions.

Program assessments are an essential part of the ongoing survival of teaching centers performed by faculty development personnel
at institutions of higher education. Little research is available to guide developers in performing these assessments. In
this article we describe assessments conducted at three Canadian universities and highlight the theoretical models used to
guide the process. Reflections on the strengths and challenges are discussed for each program assessment for the purpose of
assisting faculty developers in performing similar program assessments of their faculty development offices.

In this article I explore research in urban science education inspired by the work of Kris Gutierrez in a paper based on her
2005 Scribner Award. It addresses key points in Gutierrez’s work by exploring theoretical frameworks for research and approaches
to teaching and research that expand the discourse on the agency of urban youth in corporate school settings. The work serves
as an overview of under-discussed approaches and theoretical frameworks to consider in teaching and conducting research with
marginalized urban youth in urban science classrooms.

This paper presents Project InterActions, a series of 5-week workshops in which very young learners (4- to 7-year-old children)
and their parents come together to build and program a personally meaningful robotic project in the context of a multigenerational
robotics-based community of practice. The goal of these family workshops is to teach both parents and children about the mechanical
and programming aspects involved in robotics, as well as to initiate them in a learning trajectory with and about technology.
Results from this project address different ways in which parents and children learn together and provide insights into how
to develop educational interventions that would educate parents, as well as children, in new domains of knowledge and skills
such as robotics and new technologies.

With increasing numbers of women joining the evening/nighttime workforce, there is a need for quality childcare during these
hours. This project, conducted in Japan, sought to compare the effects of expanded childcare on the development and adaptation
of 866 young children after one year. Parents completed a survey on the childrearing environment at home, their feelings of
self-efficacy, and the presence of support for childcare. Childcare professionals evaluated the development of children. The
results of the multiple regression analysis indicate that factors in the home environment, not type of centerbased care, explained
developmental risks one year later.

A research framework for creative and imitative reasoning 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Johan Lithner 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2008,67(3):255-276
This conceptual research framework addresses the problem of rote learning by characterising key aspects of the dominating
imitative reasoning and the lack of creative mathematical reasoning found in empirical data. By relating reasoning to thinking
processes, student competencies, and the learning milieu it explains origins and consequences of different reasoning types.
