Twitter has become a unique site for making sense of public discussions about authority and morality in the United States. This article addresses these discussions by analyzing the elements of conservative discourse that claim the health of the nation is in decline because of a diminished emphasis on masculine leadership. There is a long tradition of conservative politicians in the United States warning against “soft” or “weak” figures of authority. Such conversations take place within a range of contexts, including the sport of football. As a means to engage hegemonic masculine authority from a critical perspective, this article investigates Twitter users’ various reactions to Adrian Peterson’s suspension due to his disciplining his child with a “switch.” 相似文献

It intends to explore the roles earth plays in Michael K’s passive resistance against the patriarchal authority.Inspired by Homi Bhabha’s concept of“unhomeliness”,it illustrates how earth gives K the sense of homeliness.As the female is closely connected to earth,it also explains how earth helps K get free from the patriarchal wars.By portraying a deformed colored K,Coetzee expresses that the disadvantaged and inferior could resort to mother earth to get freedom and dignity.The female features of protection and nurture are crucial to help the discriminated groups to resist the patriarchal authority. 相似文献

China Men, the famous literary work of Maxine Hong Kingston, has received sustained applause since its first publishment. In this book, by picturing the drifting situation of life that China Men have experienced in America, the author shows us the plight in which China Men were enslaved and forced to keep silent in America. This paper tries to analyze the book China Men from the perspective of structuralism narratology in three aspects, including hybridity of different literary forms, cake-like structure and spatial framework. That is,it focuses on how narrative strategies expose the representative events and main subjects at that period of time, which will be helpful for readers to understand the identity issue of Chinese Americans as well. 相似文献

This paper illuminates the experiences of beginning teachers using a participatory perspective approach and drawing on some
of these teachers’ perceptions. We place the ‘subject’ of workplace learning research centrally in understanding the relatedness
between workplaces and novice employees/trainees. This paper builds on previous work by the authors using semi-structured
interviews with 17 beginning teachers in 19 schools that aim to better understand issues associated with beginning teacher
retention. This study explores an application of a framework for evaluating workplaces as from expansive to restrictive learning
environments, whilst examining individuals’ responses to and agency in these environments. In addition, these teachers’ personal
networks were explored to idedntify how they shaped the teachers’ engagement with workplaces. This analysis revealed networks
both internal and external to their schools, and hence a broader view of workplace than is often proposed. Together these
analyses allowed an examination of the relatedness between individual beginning teachers and the schools they experienced.
This paper identifies the significance of ontogeny and expectation that individuals bring to the workplace, along with individuals
exhibiting different agency. These beginning teachers indicate how individuals can be proactive in creating more expansive
learning environments for themselves through the utilisation of personal networks, even when these are not offered. This finding
may have implications for beginning teachers to re-evaluate their potential to become empowered as they begin their careers. 相似文献

We frame teachers’ contextualization of mathematics (CoM) as a classroom-based identity resource. We explore CoM in secondary classrooms in the segregated school landscape of the US, focusing specifically on schools that serve primarily low-income Black and Latinx students. We review literature that discusses commonly-cited affordances for CoM according to formative, affective, functional literacy, and critical literacy rationales and problematize those rationales relative to prior research. We analyze 58 lessons from 12 classrooms at 11 schools to reveal patterns in CoM relative to those commonly cited affordances. The formative, affective, and functional literacy rationales were frequently evident. Teachers draw largely on generic human experiences and marketplace contexts, positioning students as consumers or employees. There were few instances of CoM naming racism or inequality, and our analysis further reveals blind spots in these efforts. Our discussion considers the implications of these patterns.

How might English classrooms be spaces where Muslim students are empowered to recognise and resist Islamophobia? This qualitative study draws on theories of critical consciousness and Islamophobia to show how Bassim, a Muslim student, makes sense of Islamophobic encounters through the poetic and analytic writing he creates in his public high school English classroom. When examined intertextually, Bassim’s words offer a glimpse of what Islamophobic experiences are like for some contemporary Muslim students. The findings suggest that through his English class, Bassim is able to use poetic and analytic writing as the means by which he recognises and resists Islamophobia. Further, this study indicates that more work should take up the implications of students’ religious beliefs and the ways those beliefs shape their writing – particularly when they are members of a marginalised religion. 相似文献

This article reports the results of the investigation into institutional support provided to adults by 12 novice consultants on assessment and recognition of their non-formal and informal learning in four institutions of higher education (HEIs) in Lithuania. Using the general systems perspective and perception theory, novice consultants’ perceptions of their experience of guiding and supporting adults was examined with the main aim to provide a better understanding of the challenges that they encountered and the benefits they gained so that to enhance the process. The method of content analysis was employed to investigate novice consultants’ perceptions. The results of their feedback responses revealed four major challenges, including the novelty of the procedure, complexity of the process of portfolio development, difficulty to raise adults’ awareness of the value of the procedure and difficulty to provide moral support to adults, which caused gaps in consultants’ performance. The established benefits included a better understanding of the process, benefits for their professional activity and personal development, improved competence to consult and an impact on the attitude towards others and self. The implications of the findings for fostering consultants’ training to enhance the process of institutional support provided to adults are discussed. 相似文献

Jacques Rancière's work has had significant impact in philosophy and literary theory, but remains largely undiscussed in the field of education. This article is a review of the relevance of Rancière's work to education research. Rancière's argument about education emerges from his critique of Bourdieu, which states that Bourdieu reinforces inequality by presuming it as the starting point of his analysis. What is at stake is the question of performativity, and the means by which discourse has effects. This debate has implications for considering the basis of claims to truth in literary and social science discourse. Parallels are drawn between Judith Butler's and Rancière's portrayal of the relationship between discourse and subjection, as well as their attention to discursive ‘imitation’ in making inequality representable. The article concludes with a discussion of the problematic which Rancière's work suggests for education research. 相似文献

There is a substantial amount of literature documenting the attitudinal resistance of Muslims towards English and the supposed conflict between English and Islam. This article provides a critical review of the writings and research on the issue and discusses some of the reasons behind this resistance, focusing on Muslims in Malaysia. It argues that although English is rooted in the Judeo-Christian culture, and often viewed as a primary vehicle for the transmission of "Western" values, the learning of English is not in conflict with Islamic values. This article also presents an Islamic perspective on the role of language and the attitude that Muslims should adopt towards learning languages. It concludes by emphasizing the need for English teachers to take into account the socio-cultural aspects of learning English when teaching Muslim students, and for Muslims to value the importance of learning English for the purpose of acquiring contemporary knowledge. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of parenting and adolescent fearfulness on adolescents’ pro‐social values and pro‐social and antisocial behaviour. A total of 134 adolescents (M age = 16.22, 72 girls, 62 boys) responded to questions regarding their own fearfulness, pro‐social values and pro‐social and antisocial behaviour, as well as their perceptions of maternal attachment and maternal appropriateness. Results revealed few main‐effect findings, most notably a negative relation between attachment and antisocial behaviour. However, findings pointed to several multiplicative relations as a function of parenting, adolescent fearfulness, and child gender, including: (1) maternal appropriateness was more important for boys than for girls, (2) maternal attachment was related to greater importance of pro‐social values and higher pro‐social behaviour for boys low on fear and (3) maternal appropriateness was related to lower antisocial behaviour for boys low on fear. The discussion focuses on the importance of examining the multiplicative relations between parenting and adolescent temperament and the implications of this for both educators and parents. 相似文献

In English, some words sound the same but are distinguished by silent written markers of their morphological status, as in plurals (e.g., cities), singular possessives (e.g., city’s) and plural possessives (e.g., cities’). We examined undergraduates’ ability to correctly omit or position apostrophes in these three word types before and after a 3-week intervention that focused on the conceptual bases for plurality and possession, as well as their associated spelling rules. Pre-test spelling was imperfect for plurals and poor for possessives, especially plural possessives. Abstract understanding of plurality and possession, measured in a morphological awareness task, was also relatively poor. The intervention resulted in significant but imperfect improvement on all tasks, with post-test morphological awareness predicting post-test spelling of plurals and possessives, even after controls for general spelling ability. Control participants showed no change. We suggest that adults’ difficulty in spelling possessives stems from a shaky grasp of the underlying morphological concepts, and we discuss possibilities for future intervention. 相似文献

Seventy‐seven new academics – 59 at a large, public university in the UK and 18 at a medium‐sized, private comprehensive university in the USA – were asked to read an extract of an article on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) and mark the text according to categories of difficulty or dislike. Analysis of the data revealed six main linguistic barriers in the text: specialist vocabulary, passive constructions, pronouns, figurative language, derivations and poor editorial standards. These barriers were similar at both institutions, suggesting they apply across different contexts. Contrary to expectations, no conclusive disciplinary‐based distinctions were detected. Implications for both readers and writers are explored and proposals are made for developing a literary style in SoTL literature that is simultaneously accessible and credible. Soixante‐dix‐sept nouveaux enseignants – cinquante‐neuf provenant d’une université publique britannique de grande taille et dix‐huit provenant d’une université privée américaine de taille moyenne – ont lu l’extrait d’un article portant sur le scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) et ont identifié les parties qu’ils jugeaient difficiles ou qu’ils n’appréciaient pas. Une analyse des données révèle la présence de six barrières linguistiques principales dans le texte: le vocabulaire spécialisé, les constructions passives, les pronoms, le langage figuratif, les dérivations et des standards de rédaction de piètre qualité. Ces barrières étaient similaires dans le cas des deux institutions, ce qui suggère qu’elles sont applicables dans des contextes différents. Contrairement aux attentes, aucune distinction reposant sur les disciplines permettant de tirer des conclusions n’a pu être détectée. Les implications pour les lecteurs et les rédacteurs sont explorées et des propositions visant à développer un style littéraire pour la documentation portant sur le SoTL qui soit à la fois accessible et crédible sont formulées. 相似文献

Development models have moved away from the simple export or imitation of western patterns towards local ownership and participatory approaches. This movement has brought with it increasing attention to the place of culture, ethnicity and language in development. In situations of high linguistic diversity, debate has concentrated largely on language choice and use in the formal educational system without reference to wider participatory processes of development in the community. Questions of language choice in both education and development are, however, crucial where local community languages have little written tradition and may have been considered of too little significance to develop. This article will review the major features of participatory development and ask how far similar processes have been or might be applied in promoting the use of local languages for such development. These questions will be explored in selected African contexts. How does intervention for language development dovetail with other kinds of development intervention? What is the interplay between the cultural basis of participatory development and the expression of ethnic identity through local languages? What lessons might be drawn from participatory development for community‐based processes of language development? How significant is the notion of empowerment with regard to the linguistic resources of a community? In conclusion, the article will argue that language development processes must figure prominently in participatory approaches to development multilingual environments and that attention to language must proceed along similar participatory lines. 相似文献

Leadership and students’ academic success: mediating effects of self-efficacy and self-determination
Kais Gannouni Lovanirina Ramboarison-Lalao 《International Journal of Leadership in Education》2018,21(1):66-79
When exploring the effects of leadership on students, most studies have focused on either how leadership affects the students’ academic outcomes or how it contributes to their personal development. This study merged both approaches and aimed to measure the mediating effects of self-efficacy and self-determination among leadership, students’ intentions to persist and GPA. A Structural Equation Analysis was applied to a data-set of 1009 students from 39 countries to examine these relationships. The results showed a full mediating effect of academic self-efficacy between leadership and students’ intentions to persist and between leadership and GPA, and revealed a full mediating effect of self-determination through autonomy and relatedness constructs between leadership and intention to persist. This result implies that even though leadership does not directly affect students’ academic outcomes, it enhances their confidence and motivation, which provides them with the inner drive to aim high, persevere and achieve their goals. The theoretical and practical implications of these results are also discussed. 相似文献
