Our paper presents an in-service primary school teachers’ training program which is based on the idea that the history of
science can play a vital role in promoting the learning of physics. This training program has been developed in the context
of Comenius 2.1 which is a European Union program. This program that we have developed in the University of Athens is based
on socioconstructivist and sociocultural learning principles with the intention of helping teachers to appropriate the basic
knowledge on the issue of falling bodies. Moreover, it has the aim to make explicit through the exploitation of authentic
historical science events, on the above topic (Aristotle’s, Galileo’s and Newton’s theories on falling bodies) the Nature
of Science (NoS), the Nature of Learning (NoL) and the Nature of Teaching (NoT). During the implementation of the program
we have used a variety of teaching strategies (e.g. group work, making of posters, making of concept maps, simulations) that
utilize historical scientific materials on the issue of falling bodies.

We discuss the eight papers in this issue of Cultural Studies of Science Education focusing on the debate over conceptual change in science education and explore the issues that have emerged for us as we
consider how conceptual change research relates to our practice as science educators. In presenting our interpretations of
this research, we consider the role of participants in the research process and contextual factors in conducting research
on science conceptions, and draw implications for the teaching of science.
Christina Siry is a PhD student in the Urban Education program of the City University of New York, and an instructor at Manhattanville College. Her research interests focus on pre-service and in-service preparation for the teaching of science and she is currently researching the use of coteaching and cogenerative dialogue in elementary teacher preparation for the teaching of science. In particular, she is exploring the role that shared, supported teaching experiences can have in the construction of new teacher identity and solidarity. She has worked as an elementary science specialist teaching children in grades K-5, and in museum settings developing science programs for teachers and children. In addition to the position at Manhattanville College, Chris is a lecturer in the University of Pennsylvania’s Science Teacher Institute where she teaches science pedagogy to middle school teachers. Gail Horowitz is an instructor of chemistry at Yeshiva University, and a doctoral candidate in science education at Teachers College. For many years, she has been involved in research and curricular design within the organic chemistry laboratory setting, focusing specifically on the design of discovery or puzzle based experiments. Her doctoral research focuses on the intrinsic motivation of pre-med students. She is interested in trying to characterize and describe the academic goal orientations of pre-med students, and is interested in exploring how the curricular elements embedded in project based laboratory curricula may or may not serve to enhance their intrinsic motivation. Femi S. Otulaja is currently a PhD student and an adjunct professor of science teacher education at Queens College of the City University of New York. As a science teacher educator, his research interests focus on the use of cogenerative dialoguing and its residuals, such as coteaching, distributed leadership, culturally responsive pedagogy, as research and pedagogical tools for engaging, training and apprenticing urban middle and high schools pre- and in-service science teachers as legitimate peripheral participants. He also encourages the use of these modalities as assessment, evaluation and professional development tools for teaching and learning science and for realigning cultural misalignments in urban classrooms. His theoretical framework consists of a bricolage of participatory action research, constructivism, critical ethnography, cultural sociology, sociology of emotions, indigenous epistemology, culturally responsive pedagogy, critical pedagogy and conversation analyses. In addition, he advocates the use of technologies as assistive tools in teaching science. Nicole Gillespie is a Senior Program Officer at the Knowles Science Teaching Foundation (KSTF). She is a former naval officer and high school physics teacher. Nicole received her PhD in science education from the University of California, Berkeley in 2004 where she was supported by a Spencer Dissertation Fellowship. She worked with the Physics Education Group at the University of Washington and conducted research on students’ intuitive ideas about force and model-based reasoning and argumentation among undergraduate physics students at Berkeley. In addition to her work at KSTF, Nicole is an instructor in the University of Pennsylvania’s Science Teacher Institute. Ashraf Shady is a PhD candidate in the Urban Education program at the City University of New York Graduate Center; his strand of concentration is science, math, and technology. In his research he is currently using theoretical frameworks from cultural sociology and the sociology of emotion to examine how learning and teaching of science are enacted when students and their teachers are able to co-participate in culturally adaptive ways and use their social and symbolic capital successfully. His research interests focus on the use of cogenerative dialogues as a methodology to navigate cultural fields in urban education. Central to his philosophy as a science educator is the notion that teaching is a form of cultural enactment. As such, teaching, and learning are regarded as cultural production, reproduction, and transformation. This triple dialectic affirms that elements of culture are associated with the sociocultural backgrounds of participating stakeholders. Line A. Augustin received her doctorate degree in Chemistry (with a chapter of her dissertation on a case study of enactment of chemical knowledge of a high school student) and did a post-doc on Science Education at the Graduate Center, CUNY. She is currently teaching science content and methods courses in the Elementary and Early Childhood Education Department of Queens College, CUNY. She is interesting in investigating how racial, cultural, class and gender issues affect the ways that teaching and learning occurs in elementary classrooms, in understanding these issues and developing mechanism by which they can be utilized to promote better teaching and learning environment and greater dispositions towards science. She is also interested in what influences science teachers to change and/or to improve their teaching practices. 相似文献

In this piece, Elizabeth Moje discusses with the authors of FORUM: Giving oneself over to science: Exploring the roles of
subjectivities and identities in learning science (Tucker-Raymond, Varelas, & Pappas) the challenges and potentials of theorizing
about the role of identities in learning science. The authors debate how identities and subjectivities should be conceptualized,
and whether learning science requires people to change identities and/or subjectivities. In particular, the authors discuss
the potential for thinking about how identities are enacted in practices, and how teachers might construct practices that
evoke the identities associated with science as a way of developing opportunities for deep science learning.
Elizabeth Birr Moje is an Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Literacy, Language, and Culture in Educational Studies, a Faculty Associate in the Institute
for Social Research and a faculty affiliate with Latina/o Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Moje teaches undergraduate
and graduate courses in secondary and adolescent literacy, cultural theory, and qualitative research methods. Her research
interests revolve around the intersection between the literacies and texts youth are asked to learn in the disciplines and
the literacies and texts they engage outsIDe of school. Moje also studies how youth construct cultures and enact IDentities
via their literacy practices outsIDe of school.

Faculty, staff, and student perceptions of high-quality learning experiences were explored using focus groups attempting to
define a “learning-centered” college. Common themes emerged suggesting that a successful learning community requires faculty-student
collaboration, effective communication, critical thinking skills, reciprocal respect, faculty passion for learning, high expectations
of both students and faculty, a variety of teaching and assessment strategies, and student engagement in and responsibility
for learning. All groups stressed the need for learning opportunities outside the classroom in both intellectual and social
situations. These themes provide a conceptual framework for future campus initiatives, which has broad relevance for other
institutions.

Engaging Undergraduate Students in Research Activities: Are Research Universities Doing a Better Job? 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Engaging undergraduate students in research activities has been advocated as an innovative strategy to improve American higher
education (Boyer Commission, Reinventing undergraduate education: A blueprint for America’s research universities. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Stony Brook, NY, 1998). This study compared the frequency of undergraduate
student research experiences at different types of colleges and universities from the early 1990s through 2004. The results
indicate that the frequency of student research experiences increased since 1998 at all types of institutions and that students
at research universities were not more likely than their counterparts elsewhere to have such experiences. The findings were
consistent across major fields. To live up to their claims, research universities must find additional ways to involve undergraduates
in research with faculty members.

This research effort reports the findings of an empirical study focusing on the ways in which technological tools are implemented specifically in mathematics education in a Title I school. The purpose was to identify the perspectives and actions of the school’s mathematics specialist and the multi-graded (grades 2–3) classroom teacher as they attempted to deliver instruction with technology for both English Language Learners1 (ELL) and non-ELL students. Findings showed that a critical factor in access to mathematics education and technology for ELL students in a multi-graded 2–3 classroom in a Title I (K-5) school setting was language. Although potentially powerful technologies—analog (concrete objects) and digital (software) were used, many ELL students could not access the content solely because of language difficulties. Teachers used the concrete objects as modeling tools, to reveal students’ thinking, and for communication of foundational mathematics. Conversely, the software used served none of these functions because the available software did not do the kinds of things the manipulatives did, teachers’ knowledge of exemplary software was insufficient, the school used an impoverished model of technology integration, and teachers were constrained by the school district’s policies of English immersion for ELL students.This paper was presented at the American Educational Research Association Annual Meeting, 2005, Montreal, Canada, on Tuesday, April 12, 2005, 4:05–5:35 pm, in Le Centre Sheraton Montreal/Salon 7, in a session titled, “Science and Mathematics Teaching for Linguistically and Culturally Diverse Students” sponsored by Division K-Teaching and Teacher Education/Section 1—Research on Teaching Practices, Teacher Knowledge, and Teacher Education in Math and Science.Tirupalavanam G.

Much research in science education has focused on the conflicts that exist between individuals' ways of knowing the world
and science. We have been left without an image of the compatibility or congruency that is necessary for science to occupy
a fundamental position in a person's life. In this study we argue that Keith, a Jamaican American pre-service teacher, provides
us with such an image. Using narrative, we trace the development of Keith's relationship with science over time and space
in order to understand how Keith has constructed an identity through science amid the larger structures and contexts that
comprise his life. We believe Keith's stories of practicing science in and out of the classroom illustrate how science, while
taking an essential position in his lifeworld, extends and articulates Keith's subjective stances on experience. As part of
his lifeworld, Keith finds a sense of value in science that turns it into a discipline that is part of the person he both
is and wants to be and the world he wants to shape as a teacher.
Richard Kozoll is an assistant professor of science education at the School of Education of DePaul University. His research interests include
students' identity constructs as a means to understand engagement with and participation in science and inform inclusive science

Using a case study approach, the authors examine the democratic and civic engagement learning outcomes of a campus protest.
The conceptual framework is built on the ideas outlined in Learning Reconsidered (Keeling 2004) and modeled in its pragmatic follow-up, Learning Reconsidered 2 (Keeling 2006). Results suggest student and campus administrator actions during a campus protest support democratic aims, student development,
and digital age democracy. Recommendations for campus educators are included. This study extends previous discussion on activism’s
journey from detrimental to developmental (Astin 1999; Chambers & Phelps 1993; Hamrick 1998; Hunter 1988) by mapping the learning environment through the interaction of protestor and university and by incorporating new forms of
activism.

This study involved an analysis of faculty trust in a large southwestern institution. After reviewing the literature, we identified
a valid and reliable instrument, the Higher Education Faculty Trust Inventory, to measure higher education faculty trust in
administrators, colleagues, and students. We then used this instrument to gauge various aspects of faculty trust, and we found
significant trust differences among professors of varying academic ranks (i.e., adjunct, assistant, associate, and full professor).
We found, however, no significant trust differences in regard to race. Finally, we discuss the findings within a context of
implications for future research and practice in higher education.

Teachers are central to providing high-quality science learning experiences called for in recent reform efforts, as their understanding of science impacts both what they teach and how they teach it. Yet, most elementary teachers do not enter the profession with a particular interest in science or expertise in science teaching. Research also indicates elementary schools present unique barriers that may inhibit science teaching. This case study utilizes the framework of identity to explore how one elementary classroom teacher’s understandings of herself as a science specialist were shaped by the bilingual elementary school context as she planned for and provided reform-based science instruction. Utilizing Gee’s (2000) sociocultural framework, identity was defined as consisting of four interrelated dimensions that served as analytic frames for examining how this teacher understood her new role through social positioning within her school. Findings describe the ways in which this teacher’s identity as a science teacher was influenced by the school context. The case study reveals two important implications for teacher identity. First, collaboration for science teaching is essential for elementary teachers to change their practice. It can be challenging for teachers to form an identity as a science teacher in isolation. In addition, elementary teachers new to science teaching negotiate their emerging science practice with their prior experiences and the school context. For example, in the context of a bilingual school, this teacher adapted the reform-based science curriculum to better meet the unique linguistic needs of her students.

Using data from the College Student Experience Questionnaire research program between 1998 and 2004, this study examined the effects of student engagement in inquiry-oriented activities
on a range of self-reported college outcomes. The results indicate that (1) engaging in inquiry-oriented activities has significant
and positive effects on a global measure of gains; (2) engagement has positive effects on some college outcomes but negative
effects on others; (3) the effects of inquiry-oriented activities are conditional, with some students benefiting more than
others. This study reveals the complexity of the influences of inquiry-oriented activities on college students and points
to implications for institutional policies and programs that may be effective in fostering desired college outcomes.

The Influences of Faculty on Undergraduate Student Participation in Research and Creative Activities
Using data collected from surveys of college juniors and seniors and faculty members in related academic departments, this
study examined whether faculty teaching and research orientations, as well as faculty external funding, had any impact on
undergraduate student participation in research and creative activities. The results of the study indicated that faculty research
orientation and external funding were indeed positively related to student participation in research activities. However,
faculty members’ teaching orientation was not significant. Further analyses indicated that faculty teaching and research orientations
had different impacts on a range of research and creative activities by undergraduate students. The findings from this study
provide insight on ways of improving college teaching and learning as well as informing the development of institutional academic
policies related to faculty and undergraduate education.

ABSTRACTIn this interpretive case study, we draw from sociocultural theory of learning and culturally relevant pedagogy to understand how urban students from nondominant groups leverage their sociocultural experiences. These experiences allow them to gain an empowering voice in influencing science content and activities and to work towards self-determining the sciences that are personally meaningful. Furthermore, tying sociocultural experiences with science learning helps generate sociopolitical awareness among students. We collected interview and observation data in an urban elementary classroom over one academic year to understand the value of urban students’ sociocultural experiences in learning science and choosing science activities. 相似文献

This study draws upon a qualitative case study to investigate the impact of the high-stakes test environment on an elementary
teacher’s identities and the influence of identity maintenance on science teaching. Drawing from social identity theory, I
argue that we can gain deep insight into how and why urban elementary science teachers engage in defining and negotiating
their identities in practice. In addition, we can further understand how and why science teachers of poor urban students engage
in teaching decisions that accommodate school demands and students’ needs to succeed in high-stakes tests. This paper presents
in-depth experiences of one elementary teacher as she negotiates her identities and teaching science in school settings that
emphasize high-stakes testing. I found that a teacher’s identities generate tensions while teaching science when: (a) schools
prioritize high-stakes tests as the benchmark of teacher success and student success; (b) activity-based and participatory
science teaching is deemphasized; (c) science teacher of minority students identity is threatened or questioned; and (d) a
teacher perceives a threat to one’s identities in the context of high stakes testing. Further, the results suggest that stronger
links to identities generate more positive values in teachers, and greater possibilities for positive actions in science classrooms
that support minority students’ success in science.

Mike Reading happened to visit the NAPCE stand at the Education Show, and commented that his school had found the NAPCE resource pack From Head of Year to Year Curriculum Coordinator? very useful in their developments. So a while later he was contacted to write an account for the journal! This account gives a sense of the particular flavour of the school, which Mike himself suggests is unusual, and also the ways in which one role can become more highly connected and central to the school, especially if it is contributing to an explicit focus on learning. Mike is Key Stage Manager at George Spencer Foundation School and Technology College. He trained at The University College of Ripon and York St John, and started his career in education as a Religious Education teacher in Oldham before being Head of Department in Grantham. From this position he was appointed to a senior role in his present school. He has studied the contribution which Quality Management makes to secondary school management and gained a Masters degree at Nottingham Trent University. 相似文献

In this article I discuss ways of increasing teacher efficacy identified as a key belief system in the enhancement of teacher
effectiveness. Teacher efficacy is defined and its impact on teacher effectiveness explored. The need to increase teacher
efficacy to enhance the design, implementation and outcomes of instruction is discussed with special focus on caring and its
potential as a catalyst for expanding teachers’ perception of their power to make a difference in the lives and performance
of their students.

In light of the widespread recognition of the enduring challenge of enhancing the learning of all students—including a growing
number of students representing diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds—there has been an explosion of literature
on teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education. Notwithstanding scores of promising new ideas, individual faculty
in higher education need a dynamic and inclusive model to help them engage in a systematic and continuous process of exploring
and testing various teaching and assessment practices to ensure the learning of their students. This paper introduces a model—Teaching-for-Learning
(TFL)—developed to meet this need.
