Homelessness is a growing social problem in the United States. Especially vulnerable to this phenomenon are young children because homelessness is viewed as a breeding ground for disabilities. Despite federal legislation ensuring educational opportunities, the educational needs of children who are homeless are frequently unfulfilled. This article reviews the educational rights of children who are homeless, including those with disabilities, and offers recommendations and suggestions as to how early childhood programs can help meet the needs of homeless young children with disabilities and their families.

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.

Faculty experiences of innovative approaches to learning and the changes to their knowledge emerging from such experiences
constitute an important area of inquiry that has to date largely been ignored or has been approached with research methods
ill-suited to examining such experiences. This paper adopts interpretative meta-ethnography as its research framework to investigate
the changes to faculty knowledge that occur when they adopt problem-based learning (PBL). The paper presents themes that emerged
through the analysis and argues for future inquiry.

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

The goal of this research effort is to provide insights on what core needs and difficulties exist toward the implementation
of ICT in higher education in emerging countries and how a consortium like LINC can best support these efforts. An exploratory
research design combining a survey, on-site interviews, participant observation and document analysis were employed to answer
the research questions. Main challenges in establishing technology- based learning environments were identified in the area
of pedagogies, finances, technological infrastructure, cultural change, organization, and management. LINC, as an non-political
organization embedded in an academic environment, can take an important role in facilitating the dialogue among participants
through various platforms, take an active role in promoting joint programs and assist with efforts to “localize” tools and
practice.

In responding to critics and reviewers of my book, How the Cold War Transformed Philosophy of Science, I attempt to identify some misleading conventional wisdom about the place of values in philosophy of science and then offer
three distinct ways in which philosophers of science can engage their work with ongoing social and political currents.

Lessons Learned: Findings from MIT Initiatives in Educational Technology (2000–2005) 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Lori Breslow 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》2007,16(4):283-297
Since 1999, MIT has undertaken an extensive effort in creating and implementing educational technology. Broadly speaking,
there have been two kinds of efforts: developing web-based services for higher education and creating educational technology
applications for use in the classroom. This article reviews a group of projects that produced educational technology applications
for use in the classroom or for classroom-based activities and were assessed by educational researchers in the Teaching and
Learning Laboratory (TLL). From those in depth studies, as well as less extensive involvement with a half dozen more initiatives,
we draw three major findings on the role and impact of educational technologies as they were developed and used at MIT over
6 years: (1) the most successful educational technologies meet a specific instructional need that has been unmet or poorly
met by traditional media; (2) too much technology or technology that does not work well can be detrimental; and (3) there
are important relationships between the technologies and the learning environments in which they operate.

The paper examines the results of a study of strategic plans in community colleges in Ontario, Canada between 1995 and 2005.
The system was very similar to centralized systems in many jurisdictions including China. The study found that (1) the strategies
of those colleges were more alike than different; (2) the strategic content of the plans as texts was relatively weak; and
(3) attention to organizational field was limited. The paper uses institutional theory and the concept of monopsony to explain
these findings. Individual institutions and organizational fields evolve because of the interaction of social–political forces
that govern their sector and set the standards for legitimacy in the field. The colleges studied are subject to the monopsonistic
power of a provincial government to the point that monopsony trumps strategy. Colleges could overcome monopsony by adopting
a network model whereby they would redefine the nature of the exchange among colleges and between colleges and government.

Peter Wood 《Academic Questions》2007,20(4):277-294
This essay on the ethical mission of the university explores extremes of anti-social behavior, visiting numerous crime scenes
before concluding that contemporary higher education has lost the capacity—and even the language—for taking character development
seriously. In his attempt to determine whether coincidently traditional-liberationist-diversiphilic-apathetic colleges can
morally improve their charges, Peter Wood collects a wrenching compendium of violent academic mayhem.

In this Forum, we construct a history of the National Association for Research in Science Education (NARST) through the analysis of documents and through the personal perspectives of individuals. The history of NARST is inseparable
from the biography of the individuals through whose lives it was produced and reproduced. The history of NARST is a living
history that both shapes and was shaped by the biographies of its members.

This paper focuses on teaching and learning the set of real numbers R and its completeness property at the university level. It studies, in particular, the opportunities for understanding this
property that students are offered in four undergraduate correlative courses in Calculus and Analysis. The theoretical framework
used in the study draws on concepts developed in the Anthropological Theory of Didactics, especially the notions of praxeology
and mathematical organization. The paper shows different expectations concerning the same notion (R and its completeness) through different school levels, and intends to bring up some reflections about the transition from
Calculus to Analysis.

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 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.

In this paper we describe learners being asked to generate examples of new mathematical concepts, thus developing and exploring
example spaces. First we elaborate the theoretical background for learner generated examples (LGEs) in learning new concepts.
The data we then present provides evidence of the possibility of learning new concepts through a symbiosis of induction and
abduction from experience and deduction from the relationships generated in exemplification. In other words, experience can
be organised in such a way that shifts of understanding take place as a result of learners’ own actions. Actions, in this
context, include mental acts of organisational reflection.
