Mathematical belief change in prospective primary teachers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Peter Grootenboer 《Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education》2008,11(6):479-497
The development and influence of beliefs in teacher education has been a topic of increasing interest for researchers in recent
years. This study explores the responses of a group of prospective primary teachers to attempts to facilitate belief change
as part of their initial teacher education programme in mathematics. The students’ responses seemed to fall into three categories:
non-engagement; building a new set of beliefs and; reforming existing beliefs. In this article the participants’ responses
are outlined and illustrated with stories from three individuals. This study suggests that belief reform is complex and fraught
with ethical dilemmas. Certainly there is a need for further research in this area, particularly given the pervasive influence
of beliefs on teaching practice.

Racializing educational change: Melting pot and mosaic influences on educational policy and practice
Allison Skerrett 《Journal of Educational Change》2008,9(3):261-280
This article racializes educational change by examining literature on the history of educational approaches to diversity in
the United States and Ontario, Canada to demonstrate how their respective national myths for engaging with diversity—the melting
pot and mosaic—have impacted their educational policies and practices over three definable eras of educational change. The
educational policies and practices of the two countries are evaluated in relation to four significant and—within the existing
literature—widely used political and educational strategies for responding to racial and ethnocultural diversity in schools.
The paper cautions that the current era of curriculum standardization and high stakes assessments that reflects a melting
pot approach to education reinstitutes and reinforces an inequitable vertical mosaic structure of schooling experiences and
outcomes for diverse student populations. It urges policy makers to consider how the current movement toward post-standardization,
which reflects a mosaic approach, is presently influencing educational policy and practice in international contexts and achieving
more just and effective learning outcomes for diverse student groups.

The major growth of doctoral education in recent decades has attracted attention from policy makers and researchers. In this
article we explore the growth of doctoral education in Australia, its impact on diversity in respect of the doctoral population,
shifts in disciplinary strengths, institutional concentration and award programs. We conclude that there has been both change
and continuity in the provision of doctoral education with extensive variation at the level of practice in what is a reasonably
stable system featuring continuing hierarchical institutional diversification. The limitations of available data and issues
for further research, policy and practice are discussed.

Institutional change includes the supplanting of the old model of production with a new one, the elimination of old markets
and the emergence of new ones. As higher education around the world shifts from national markets to an integrated transnational
market, and possibly toward a virtual market, Christian higher education, like other market sectors, will have the opportunity
to redefine its market niche. Emerging opportunities linked to new institutional rules will challenge higher education in
ways that may not yet be obvious to its present managers and faculties. How the university in its portfolio of options might
negotiate the elimination of old markets and the creation of new markets is the subject of this essay. A general set of principles
and recommendations is offered.

Compatibility between cultural studies and conceptual change in science education: there is more to acknowledge than to fight straw men! 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this response, we attempt to clarify our position on conceptual change, state our position on mental models being a viable
construct to represent learning, indicate important issues from the social cultural perspective that can inform our work on
conceptual change and lastly comment on issues that we consider to be straw men. Above all we argue that there is no best
theory of teaching and learning and argue for a multiple perspective approach to understanding science teaching and learning.
David F. Treagust is a professor of science education at Curtin University of Technology in Perth, Western Australia where he teaches courses in campus-based and international programs related to teaching and learning science. His research interests include understanding students’ ideas about science concepts and how these ideas relate to conceptual change, the design of curricula and teachers’ classroom practices. Reinders Duit is a professor of physics education at the Leibniz Institute for Science Education (IPN) at the University of Kiel, the Central Institute for Science Education Research in Germany. A major concern of his work has been teaching and learning science from conceptual change perspectives. More recently, his work includes video-based studies on the practice of science instruction as well as teacher professional development. 相似文献

We engage in a metalogue based on eight papers in this issue of Cultural Studies of Science Education that review the state of conceptual change research and its possible affect on the teaching and learning of science. Our
discussion addresses three aspects of conceptual change research: theoretical, methodological, and practical, as we discuss
conceptual change research in light of our experiences as science educators. Finally, we examine the implications of conceptual
change research for the teachers and students with whom we work.

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.

Socio-emotional orientations and teacher change 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Raimo Kaasila Markku S. Hannula Anu Laine Erkki Pehkonen 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2008,67(2):111-123
In this article we consider how elementary education students’ views of mathematics changed during their mathematics methods
course. We focus on four female students: two started the course with mainly positive views of mathematics and a task orientation,
two with negative views of the subject and an ego-defensive orientation. The biggest change observed was that the trainees’
views of teaching and learning mathematics became more positive. Moreover, what had been an ego-defensive orientation changed
towards a social-dependence orientation. The crucial facilitators of change seemed to be (1) handling of and reflection on
one’s experiences of learning and teaching mathematics, (2) exploring content with concrete materials, and (3) collaboration
with a partner or working as a tutor of mathematics.

This paper looks critically at partnerships in education and training by presenting a case study of a community-level partnership
aimed at promoting high school apprenticeships in Ontario Canada. The analysis maps the field of social relations within this
partnership in order to reveal institutionally-based struggles and their implications for youth training and employment. The
assumptions within policy that employers are actively engaged as partners and that they and other stakeholders share a unitary
vision for education and training are challenged. Rather, partnerships reflect tensions among partners that must be addressed
in order to improve the learning affordances for youth.

This paper provides a critical commentary on a suite of eight papers, which focus on conceptual change research in science
education. Responses by Mercer, Smardon and Wells to a paper by Treagust and Duit are observed to reflect the backgrounds
of the three authors with Wells focusing on issues of ontology and the affective domain. Mercer and Smardon focus on issues
of identity and the role of dialog. Hewson’s, Vosniadou’s and Tiberghien’s responses to Roth, Lee and Hwang offer robust critique
of what appear to be exploratory ideas. To what extent the authors of the response papers enter into dialog with the papers
is discussed. How far research into learning in science has progressed since the 1980s is examined.

Dr. Sreyashi Jhumki Basu was a scholar committed to equity and social justice in science education who passed away in December
2008. In this essay, I describe Jhumki’s research and the call to action her life’s work has laid out for the science education
community. In particular, I draw attention to the role of critical science agency in learning and the democratic science pedagogy
model that Jhumki developed to support students in crafting such agency.

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.

This paper presents an investigation of management accounting in four major Italian universities, which have been struggling
to build their strategy in a context of significant change. Following many OECD countries the Italian government has been
changing its higher education system by giving more autonomy to universities. These changes pose a number of challenges for
management and accounting systems in Italian Universities. Drawing on self-referential theory and its applications to accounting
research the paper analyses the construction of Strategic Management Accounting (SMA) in four Italian universities, which
are immersed in a similar context of change. The focus is specifically on two aspects of decisions: (1) resource allocation
and (2) new academic programme.

Robert L. Jackson 《Academic Questions》2007,20(4):332-346
The motivation and methodology for measuring intelligence have changed repeatedly in the modern history of large-scale student
testing. Test makers have always sought to identify raw aptitude for cultivation, but they have never figured out how to promote
excellence while preserving equality. They’ve settled for egalitarianism, which gives rise to “culturally fair” tests that
substitute vagaries for knowledge, deprive students of any real appreciation for language, and trivialize education. Robert
Jackson yearns for traditional oratorical approaches to schooling that venerate and imitate essential, time-tested masters.
Unfortunately, he writes, such an education defies measurement with today’s multiple-choice instruments.

In interviews with over 250 urban young adolescents, many students make it clear that they are acutely aware of the educational
inequities that exist in their schools and that these inequities are having a negative impact on their education. Student
voice is used to highlight urban middle school students’ perspectives on the quality of their education particularly in terms
of curricular issues, teacher quality, and lack of resources.

Re-visioning Action: Participatory Action Research and Indigenous Theories of Change 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Eve Tuck 《The Urban Review》2009,41(1):47-65
This article observes that participatory action research (PAR), by nature of being collaborative, necessitates making explicit
theories of change that may have otherwise gone unseen or unexamined. The article explores the limits of the reform/revolution
paradox on actions and theories of change in PAR. Citing examples from two recent youth PAR projects on educational issues,
the author submits that when met with such a paradox, one can only move to a new vantage point. Four alternative vantage points,
drawn from Indigenous epistemologies, are illustrated; they are sovereignty, contention, balance, and relationship.
