This article examines why an initially successful innovative pedagogical practice was not sustained. The innovative practice
was a computer-mediated activity known as Fifth Dimension (5D) within a collaborative project between a university and a local
elementary school. The analysis identifies conflicts and transitional actions which prevented participants from continuing
the 5D and yet reveal that the 5D had an impact on the participants’ dominant activities. The analysis provides grounds for
rethinking the sustainability of innovations in school as a process of interplay between dominant and non-dominant activities
which includes conflicts and almost unnoticeable transitional actions.

This paper examines theoretical linkages between Anzaldua’s borderland scholarship, in particular the notion of mestiza consciousness,
and participatory action research. Two studies with high school and college co-researchers falling along different points
of the PAR spectrum are described to illustrate these conceptual linkages. Points in the process including critical decisions
in crafting questions and conducting actions, reflections on who are the knowledge holders and producers, and struggles with
responsibilities and vulnerabilities doing this work, are discussed through a lens of mestiza consciousness.

This qualitative study examines the collaboration and leadership practice that influences the education of homeless students
in a large Mid-Atlantic city. The perspectives of administrators and staff members from three homeless shelters are analyzed
with insights from Spillane’s (Distributed leadership, 2006) distributed leadership theory. Findings from the study indicate
that differences in shelter and school structures and cultures present significant obstacles to productive communication that
would facilitate homeless children’s schooling. Several structural and programmatic recommendations are made towards developing
more effective leadership practice among schools and shelters.

This paper assesses the cumulative long-term impact of successive years of high quality provision in schools. This was achieved
by looking at the consequences, up to the age of 11 (Year 6), of attending a school where there was high or low value-added
in each of the 7 years of primary education in England. Multi-level models for thousands of pupils were set up in which the
relative contribution of the school was estimated each year, as was the impact of attainment levels reached in each previous
year. The analyses indicated that: relative progress each year was important but progress in the earliest years was the most
important. Good progress in the first year at school was still detectable in the last year of primary schooling. Boosts or
setbacks to progress in one year can be added or subtracted to progress in another. The relative importance of school for
maths and reading were similar but smaller for vocabulary. The analyses suggest that teachers are of key importance when considering
educational effectiveness and the implication for policy makers and school effectiveness researchers are discussed.

Program assessments are an essential part of the ongoing survival of teaching centers performed by faculty development personnel
at institutions of higher education. Little research is available to guide developers in performing these assessments. In
this article we describe assessments conducted at three Canadian universities and highlight the theoretical models used to
guide the process. Reflections on the strengths and challenges are discussed for each program assessment for the purpose of
assisting faculty developers in performing similar program assessments of their faculty development offices.

In this article I explore research in urban science education inspired by the work of Kris Gutierrez in a paper based on her
2005 Scribner Award. It addresses key points in Gutierrez’s work by exploring theoretical frameworks for research and approaches
to teaching and research that expand the discourse on the agency of urban youth in corporate school settings. The work serves
as an overview of under-discussed approaches and theoretical frameworks to consider in teaching and conducting research with
marginalized urban youth in urban science classrooms.

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.

This paper is based upon a unique mixed methods 4-year research project which focused upon the variations in teachers’ work,
lives, and effectiveness of 300 elementary and secondary school teachers in a range of 100 schools across seven regions of
England. Its findings challenge linear conceptions of teacher development and expertise and provide new understandings of
the effects of personal, school and broader policy contexts upon professional life phase trajectories and teachers’ emotional
identities. It finds connections between these and teachers’ commitment, resilience, and effectiveness. This paper discusses
these in relation to the school standards and teacher retention agendas.

Participation,financial support and the marginal student 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This paper examines differences between the decision-making of marginal and nonmarginal students about participation in higher
education (HE). We distinguish between two kinds of marginality: being ‘borderline’ on account of prior achievements in school
and being ‘unsure’ after taking prior achievement into account. We identify a significant minority of students in their final
year of schooling who are unsure about participation in higher education even though they have prior school achievements typical
of entrants to HE. Being ‘unsure’ is found to be unrelated to socioeconomic background, but it is associated with significantly
different attitudes towards the potential benefits and risks of participation, different levels of knowledge about financial
support that is available and different approaches to information search about participation in HE.

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.

This article reviews the contributions of Campbell John McRobbie, Cam, to science education scholarship and research within
the Australasian Science Education Research Association (ASERA) and within the broader science education community. Cam provided
strong leadership and vision across many spheres of science education and leaves a legacy to the field that includes, (a)
long term administrative and academic support of ASERA as an organization and for its incorporation, (b) firm establishment
of RISE as an international journal of high quality, and (c) strong collegial approach to supporting the research of his colleagues
including early career researchers and research degree candidates.

Due to new standards in fostering life-long learning at school, research has increasingly dealt with the promotion of self-regulated
learning, resulting in a large number of intervention studies conducted at primary and secondary school. The current study
aimed at investigating the impact of various training characteristics on the training outcomes, regarding academic performance,
strategy use and motivation of students. Two meta-analyses were conducted separately, one for primary and one for secondary
school level to allow for comparisons between both school levels. The meta-analyses included 49 studies conducted with primary
school students and 35 studies conducted with secondary school students; analyzing 357 effect sizes altogether. The potential
effects of training characteristics were investigated by means of meta-analytic multiple regression analyses. The average
effect size was 0.69. For both school levels, effect sizes were higher when the training was conducted by researchers instead
of regular teachers. Moreover, interventions attained higher effects when conducted in the scope of mathematics than in reading/writing
or other subjects. Self-regulated learning can be fostered effectively at both primary and secondary school level. However,
the theoretical background on which the training programme is based, as well as the type of instructed strategy led to differential
effects at both school levels.

Approaches to research in the social sciences often embrace schema that are consistent with positivism, even though it is
widely held that positivism is discredited and essentially dead. Accordingly, many of the methods used in present day scholarship
are supported by the tenets of positivism, and are sources of hegemony. We exhort researchers to employ reflexive methods
to identify the epistemologies, ontologies and axiologies that are salient in their scholarship and, when necessary, transform
practices such that forms of oppression associated with crypto-positivism are identified and extinguished.

This review summarizes international empirical studies on criteria for school effectiveness between 1995-2004. The data comes
from a special study on this topic for the Dutch school inspectorate and has been re-analyzed for this contribution. In the
first section of the paper, effectiveness criteria are reviewed with regard to their role in theoretical models of school
effectiveness research. In the second section, empirical studies concerned with school and classroom effectiveness are reviewed
with a focus on the effectiveness criteria, which are applied. The results show that the range of criteria is small. Especially
regarding school effectiveness there is a tendency towards using pupils’ achievement in school subjects as effectiveness criteria.
School factors were mainly investigated using national or regional survey data. The third section of the paper deals with
perspectives for future research on school effectiveness, suggesting a broader set of effectiveness criteria.

In this paper, in response to Ajay Sharma’s paper titled “Portrait of a science teacher as a bricoleur: A case study from
India” and associated reviews, I address the value of bridging two narrative styles for describing teacher development, discuss
questions of over-essentializing an Indian school context, propose that teacher and student participants should be included
in this type of writing series, and identify institutional barriers to researchers acting as agents-of-change.

The twenty-first century economy often requires the innovative production of conceptual and physical artifacts. These innovations
frequently are developed collaboratively within communities of workers. Previous theories about the nature of work and learning
within communities have emphasized shared meaning or shared practice, but now shared innovation is required. In this paper,
I describe the development of a model for conceptualizing and studying shared innovation within communities. This model was
created from merging elements of social learning and creativity/innovation theories. I explain that at an intersection of
these two domains is a unique kind of social structure, called a Community of Innovation, or COI. I conclude by describing
the characteristics of a COI and its implications for design and research.

Large-scale assessments of student achievement provide a window into the broadly defined concepts of literacy and generate
information about levels and types of student achievement in relation to some of the correlates of learning, such as student
background, attitudes, and perceptions, and perhaps school and home characteristics. This paper provides an overview and outlines
potential research opportunities of one such assessment—the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). In order
to provide examples of the work that can be accomplished with these data, we describe and discuss the results generated from
PISA 2000 and PISA 2003 in terms of international comparisons of achievement and the models of relational patterns of student,
home, and school characteristics. We provide insight from the recent pilot testing conducted in Taiwan for PISA 2006, which
has a focus on scientific literacy. This is followed by a discussion of the implications and potentials of the 2000 and 2003
datasets to facilitate research on scientific and mathematical literacy. The paper concludes with a look ahead to PISA 2006
and what researchers should be attending to in the research reports generated from the OECD and the research interests that
they could follow given access to the datasets generated.

This paper traces the genesis of the MIT OpenCourseWare project from its initial strategic precursors in 1999 and 2000, through
its launch in 2001 and its subsequent evolution. The story told here illuminates the interplay among institutional leadership,
and strategic planning, and with university culture in launching major educational technology enterprises. It also shows how
initiatives can evolve in unexpected ways, and can even surpass their initial goals. The paper concludes with an overview
of challenges facing OpenCourseWare in moving from the end of its production ramp-up and towards sustainability.
