Schooling improvement initiatives have demonstrated that moderate but significant achievement gains are possible with well
designed interventions, but there is little research into whether these gains can be sustained. The present study examines
the extent to which acceleration in achievement made during a three-year literacy intervention and the associated school-based
practices were continued. Statistical modelling showed continued acceleration in student achievement (four months in addition
to expected progress) at a rate similar to the intervention. The school-based practices associated with sustainability were
part of a process of change (rather than a specific instructional programme) comprising two dimensions — organisational learning
through ongoing inquiry into solving problems arising from teaching and learning and the development of professional learning
communities to promote organisational learning. Effectiveness was enhanced by schools embedding the process into their normal
school routines as part of a coherent instructional programme and the availability of expertise.

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.

Computer literacy, media literacy, digital literacy and digital competence are all concepts that highlight the need to handle
technology in our digital age. However, when it comes to teachers’ digital literacy there is a need to develop a more pedagogic-didactic
content for digital literacy in order to deal with the way in which new digital trends influence the underlying conditions
for schools, pedagogy and subjects. This theoretical article will therefore examine whether a broader view of knowledge (situated
learning) can be a relevant theoretical underpinning for a new digital competence model for teachers and the Scandinavian
English perception of the term competence. The article is particularly angled towards how the complexity of teachers’ digital
literacy makes it necessary to expand our traditional perception of this concept. The implications of the article indicate
that five vital structures are found to be essential to perceptions amongst teachers of the importance of Information- and
Communication Technology (ICT) and achievement of digital competence.

The study investigated several teacher characteristics, with a focus on two measures of teaching experience, and their association
with second grade student achievement gains in low performing, high poverty schools in a Mid-Atlantic state. Value-added models
using three-level hierarchical linear modeling were used to analyze the data from 1,544 students, 154 teachers, and 53 schools.
Results indicated that traditional teacher qualification characteristics such as licensing status and educational attainment
were not statistically significant in producing student achievement gains. Total years of teaching experience was also not
a significant predictor but a more specific measure, years of teaching experience at a particular grade level, was significantly
associated with increased student reading achievement. We caution researchers and policymakers when interpreting results from
studies that have used only a general measure of teacher experience as effects are possibly underestimated. Policy implications
are discussed.

This exploratory study examines the learning beliefs of high and low achieving, low-income Mexican-American students. Semi-structured
interviews were conducted with 11 ninth grade students. The qualitative analysis shows that students’ perceptions of their
teachers’ expectations of a “good” student or a “not so good” student did not differ along achievement lines. However, the
students’ perceptions about what it means to be a good student differentiated the low-achievers from the high-achievers. This
study’s findings may be used to inform educators about Mexican-American students’ orientation towards school and learning,
in hopes for creating more equitable educational settings where all students achieve to their fullest potential.

Who is the expert? Construct and criteria validity of student and teacher ratings of instruction 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
In this article, we examine the construct and criteria validity of student and teacher ratings as indicators of instructional
features. As parsimonious measures, student and teacher reports are frequently used to assess aspects of the learning environment.
From a methodological perspective, however, both approaches have been questioned. Whereas student ratings are occasionally
criticised as being undifferentiated and easily influenced by personal preferences, teacher reports are sometimes considered
to be biased by self-serving strategies or teaching ideals. Instead of pitting one method against the other, our study aimed
at establishing the specific value of each approach. The analyses draw on data from a German extension to the 2003 PISA assessment, in which 288 mathematics
teachers and their students completed questionnaires using identical items to tap various aspects of instruction. Mean student
ratings were computed for each class. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed specific conceptual structures
for student and teacher ratings, with teachers elaborating on the use of tasks and methods, and students focusing on their
teacher’s support in personal and learning matters. Three shared dimensions were also established: occurrence of classroom
management problems, degree of cognitive autonomy during lessons, and tempo of interaction. Teacher/student agreement on these
dimensions varied across constructs, with considerable agreement on classroom management, low agreement on cognitive autonomy,
and no significant agreement on whether or not the interaction tempo was appropriate. Accordingly, correlations with external
criteria (student motivation, teacher motivation, mathematical achievement scores, and characteristics of the tasks set in
class) also varied across constructs. We conclude that student and teacher ratings are best suited to tapping different aspects
of the learning environment, and recommend that care be taken in choosing a data source appropriate for the construct to be
measured.

Validating NSSE Against Student Outcomes: Are They Related? 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:3
While there exist many examples of institutional use of the results of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), there
is a relative paucity of research explicitly linking student outcomes to responses on the survey. A major Doctoral-Extensive
institution in the Southeast recently conducted a large-scale implementation of the National Survey of Student Engagement
(NSSE). We have linked multiple years of NSSE responses to several student outcomes: freshman retention, GPA, pursuit of graduate
education, and employment outcome upon commencement/degree conferral. Our research finds minimal explanatory power in the
NSSE benchmarks for these outcomes. A statistically derived model from the individual NSSE items shows greater promise, although
there are difficulties in replicating the model for previous student cohorts.

Believing that accountability could be a vehicle for change, the California Department of Education (CDE) requires all high
school students to pass the Calfornia High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) in order to graduate. In doing so, California joins many
others states in mandating a high school exit exam as a current or future requirement for graduation. In this essay, the authors
will argue that this testing approach to school change is based on myths about the role of assessment, the information testing
can provide and the impact high stakes testing has on urban schools. Although California is the focus of this analysis, these
issues are salient across the county. Testing as a solution to poor student achievement is based on faulty assumptions. It
is these assumptions this piece seeks to address.

A great challenge in education research involves the difficulty of differentiating between studies that apply commonly understood
theoretical perspectives and recognizing studies that merely rename old theoretical frameworks. This conflict between intellectual
innovation and intellectual retrofitting emerges as central to Basu, Calabrese-Barton, Clairmont, and Lock’s exploration of
the relationship between critical agency and student identity development in science.

Faculty have long incorporated students into interdisciplinary research projects to meet increasingly common demands for collaborative
research by federal funding agencies. Despite the critical role of experiential learning in building student research skills
and capacity, few have explored social interaction mechanisms used to facilitate student experiential learning in an interdisciplinary
research team. Drawing upon the New Rural Economy project as a case study, interviews with 13 students from eight Canadian
universities were conducted to explore these social interaction mechanisms. While findings revealed an array of social interaction
mechanisms used to develop student learning networks, the quality of these mechanisms were mixed; thereby influencing the
utilization of these networks for guidance and feedback. As faculty organize social interaction mechanisms, they should consider
factors such as previous experience, student and faculty relationships, finances, language, gender, ethnicity, and other issues,
that will have an impact on student engagement with experiential learning.

The Control-Value Theory of Achievement Emotions: Assumptions, Corollaries, and Implications for Educational Research and Practice 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Reinhard Pekrun 《Educational Psychology Review》2006,18(4):315-341
This article describes the control-value theory of achievement emotions and its implications for educational research and practice. The theory provides an integrative framework for analyzing the antecedents and effects of emotions experienced in achievement and academic settings. It is based on the premise that appraisals of control and values are central to the arousal of achievement emotions, including activity-related emotions such as enjoyment, frustration, and boredom experienced at learning, as well as outcome emotions such as joy, hope, pride, anxiety, hopelessness, shame, and anger relating to success or failure. Corollaries of the theory pertain to the multiplicity and domain specificity of achievement emotions; to their more distal individual and social antecedents, their effects on engagement and achievement, and the reciprocal linkages between emotions, antecedents and effects; to the regulation and development of these emotions; and to their relative universality across genders and cultures. Implications addressed concern the conceptual integration of emotion, motivation, and cognition, and the need to advance mixed-method paradigms. In closing, implications for educational practice are discussed.

Despite significant and sustained gains recorded on the national secondary school leaving examinations between 1999–2004,
South Africa’s large-scale secondary school reform has receive little international attention. Defenders of the reforms have
argued that the ‘success’ in raising student achievement extended beyond gains in the percentage pass rates to include increased
numbers of students completing secondary schooling, a growth in the number of students eligible for admissions to university
and a decline in the number of ‘collapsed’ secondary schools in disadvantaged communities. Using a comprehensive dataset that
includes national examination results for all candidates between 1996 and 2004, survey information from a group of ‘collapsed’
secondary schools located in disadvantaged communities, qualitative data from school ethnographies, as well as official and
unofficial documentary sources, the paper locates student achievement within a framework of structural change in the post-apartheid
social order. It shows how student achievement is embedded in complex shifts in the state, economy and civil society. Specifically,
the paper examines how structural shifts are enacted at the levels of time-in-school, student expectations, school choice
and student selectivity.

This article builds upon more than 6 years of critical research in urban schools in northern California to offer a particular
perspective on teaching for social justice. Concerned with prevailing issues in adolescent literacy, this article examines
instantiations of literacy instruction in the shadow of the late activist poet June Jordan and with the support of Pulitzer
Prize-winning author Alice Walker. It focuses on culturally responsive pedagogy to understand not only their work but also
the work of teachers and other educators. Central to the discussion are two kinds of pedagogical innovations, one based on
a school-community partnership and the other a district-wide sponsored writing contest. Implications for classroom practice
and key lessons useful for teachers interested in similar work are also discussed.

Ideological differences in a writing class evoke the passion of political sensitivities. A graduate student tells of “coming
out” as a pro-life advocate in an essay before his feminist classmates and professor. The exchange created instant and irreconcilable
enemies, but he also found some unexpected support from a hesitant voice within that classroom.

Learning by observing and imitating others has long been recognized as constituting a powerful learning strategy for humans.
Recent findings from neuroscience research, more specifically on the mirror neuron system, begin to provide insight into the
neural bases of learning by observation and imitation. These findings are discussed here, along with their potential consequences
for the design of instruction, focusing in particular on the effectiveness of dynamic vs. static visualizations.

We present a practical way of adapting and using four research-based assessments for different purposes in an electricity
and magnetism course for K-8 science teachers. The course is designed to accomplish conceptual change toward accepted scientific
conceptions as well as introducing teachers to materials and activities appropriate for their classrooms. Our data support
that using the research-based tests to identify alternative conceptions and discuss test results with teachers is a promising
way to use the knowledge of alternative conceptions in professional development. We also identify some mismatches between
the research of conceptual change and its use in programs of professional development.

Critical media literacy is not an option 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article explores the theoretical underpinnings of critical media literacy and analyzes four different approaches to teaching
it. Combining cultural studies with critical pedagogy, we argue that critical media literacy aims to expand the notion of
literacy to include different forms of media culture, information and communication technologies and new media, as well as
deepen the potential of literacy education to critically analyze relationships between media and audiences, information and
power. A multiperspectival approach addressing issues of gender, race, class and power is used to explore the interconnections
of media literacy, cultural studies and critical pedagogy. In the interest of a vibrant participatory democracy, educators
need to move the discourse beyond the stage of debating whether or not critical media literacy should be taught, and instead
focus energy and resources on exploring the best ways for implementing it.

This paper provides a critical review essay of Ajay Sharma’s Portrait of a science teacher as a bricoleur: A case study from India. The main focus is two fold. First, arguments are presented to draw attention to how little advances in science teaching and
science learning research have impacted teachers’ practice and student achievement in the last 40 years. Second, the paper
describes how the researcher’s traditionally detached role and truncated agency may inadvertently contribute to preserving
the status quo by only documenting the Other’s struggles and challenges. I suggest that researchers need to re-conceptualize
their roles as co-agents of change if we are to assist the Other effect positive and long-lasting change in the increasingly
complex and demanding contexts in which teachers are expected to teach and students to learn.

The d’Arbeloff Interactive Mathematics Project or d’AIMP is an initiative that seeks to enhance and ultimately transform the
teaching and learning of introductory mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A result of this project is
a suite of “mathlets,” a carefully developed set of dynamic computer applets for use in the university’s ordinary differential
equations course. In this paper, we present the rationale for such computer innovations, the philosophy behind their design,
as well as a discussion of their careful development and implementation. Survey results are reported which yielded positive
student feedback and suggestions for improvement.
