This paper centers on the process of conducting research on children’s social development through a partnership between university‐based researchers and teachers and students in an urban New England school district. It does so through the eyes of its first author, a second year graduate student who is negotiating the dual roles of researcher and teacher. In the process of investigating more about young children’s perceptions of teasing in conjunction with her research team, this student learns that theories about children’s social awareness developed in university settings virtually always require modification when examined in the real world. Ultimately, she concludes that the partnership between theorists and practitioners leads to a fine‐tuning of research protocols that elicit more complicated and variable responses from students, and that classroom climate factors, temporary or longstanding, may either facilitate or prevent effective data collection and analysis.  相似文献

Zooming in on infinitesimal 1–.9.. in a post-triumvirate era     

Karin Usadi Katz  Mikhail G. Katz 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2010,74(3):259-273

The view of infinity as a metaphor, a basic premise of modern cognitive theory of embodied knowledge, suggests in particular that there may be alternative ways in which one could formalize mathematical ideas about infinity. We discuss the key ideas about infinitesimals via a proceptual analysis of the meaning of the ellipsis “...” in the real formula \(\hbox{.999\ldots = 1}\). Infinitesimal-enriched number systems accommodate quantities in the half-open interval [0,1) whose extended decimal expansion starts with an unlimited number of repeated digits 9. Do such quantities pose a challenge to the unital evaluation of the symbol “.999...”? We present some non-standard thoughts on the ambiguity of the ellipsis in the context of the cognitive concept of generic limit of B. Cornu and D. Tall. We analyze the vigorous debates among mathematicians concerning the idea of infinitesimals.  相似文献

Internet-Based Group Relations: A High School Peace Education Project in Israel     

Yaacov B Yablon  Yaacov J Katz 《Educational Media International》2013,50(2-3):175-182

This study describes how the Internet-based group communications was used as the major strategy to promote the societal values of understanding, equality, tolerance and peace between Israeli Jewish and Bedouin high school students. The Internetbased communications project formed the backbone of a project designed to confront one of the major conflicts in Israeli society, which focuses on the Jewish-Arab axis. Israeli Jews and Arabs are wary of each other and latent hostility permeates the atmosphere between the two societal groups and is directly related to the Israeli-Arab conflict. In the project the societal values of understanding, equality, tolerance and peace were intensely promoted through the medium of three different complementary educational strategies. Students participated in workshops conducted by experts trained in the art of mediation and bridge building, and participated in two day-long face-to-face meetings. The major strategy was an Internet-based weekly chat-room and e-mail session which lasted for the full length of the project. All three strategies were specially designed to complementarily promote understanding, equality, tolerance and peace between Jewish and Bedouin Arab students. The results of the project indicate that Jewish students adopted more favourable attitudes toward Bedouins and that Bedouin students' attitudes towards Jewish students remained positive throughout the duration of the project. The prognosis for long-term change and cooperation between the Jewish and Bedouin students who participated in the project is discussed. Les relations de groupes À travers Internet : un projet d’éducation À la paix dans les lycées en IsraËl. Cette étude décrit comment la communication via Internet a été employée comme stratégie principale pour favoriser les valeurs sociales de compréhension, d'égalité, de tolérance, et de paix entre les étudiants israéliens juifs et bédouins des lycées. Il s'agit de l'axe principal d'un projet destiné À faire face À l'un des conflits majeurs de la société israélienne qui oppose Juifs et Arabes. Les uns comme les autres sont méfiants: une hostilité latente, directement liée au conflit, imprègne l'atmosphère entre les deux groupes sociaux. Dans ce projet, les différentes valeurs sociales de compréhension, d'égalité, de tolérance et de paix ont été privilégiées À travers trois stratégies éducatives différentes mais complémentaires. D'abord, les étudiants ont participé À des ateliers dirigés par des experts en médiation et en résolution de conflit, mais aussi À des séminaires présentiels de deux jours. Ensuite, le projet a développé des stratégies de communication À travers un chat hebdomadaire et l'utilisation du mail tout au long du projet. Les résultats observés montrent que les étudiants juifs adoptent des attitudes plus favorables À l'encontre des étudiants arabes tandis que les attitudes de ces derniers demeurent favorables tout au long du projet. Enfin l'article analyse les chances de voir se stabiliser le changement et la coopération entre les étudiants des deux communautés ayant participé au projet. Internet-basierende Gruppenbeziehungen : Ein High School Friedensprojekt in Israel. Diese Studie beschreibt, wie die Internet-basierende Gruppenkommunikation als grundlegendes Instrument eingesetzt wurde, um das Verständnis von sozialen Werten, Gleichheit, Toleranz, und Frieden zwischen israelisch-jüdischen und arabischen High School Studenten zu fördern. Die Internet-basierende Kommunikation bildete das Grundgerüst des Projektes, welches die Konfrontation mit einem wesentlichen Konflikt der israelischen Gesellschaft zum Ziel hatte : Die Probleme der israelisch-arabischen Koexistenz. Israelische Juden und Araber sind sich einander misstrauisch und latente Feindseligkeit durchdringt die Atmosphäre, die beide gesellschaftliche Gruppen verbindet. In diesem Projekt wurden die Ziele, nämlich das Verständnis von sozialen Werten, Gleichheit, Toleranz, und Frieden intensiv zu fördern, durch drei komplementäre, pädagogische Strategien unterstützt. Studenten nahmen an zweitägigen face-to-face Workshops teil, die von Experten, ausgebildet in der Mediationskunst, geleitet wurden. Die wesentliche Strategie waren Internet-basierende Chat-Raum- sowie Email-Sitzungen, die über die volle Dauer des Projektes verliefen. Die Ergebnisse des Projektes indizieren, dass eine Annäherung zwischen der israelisch-jüdischen und der arabischen Gruppe erfolgreich war. Beide Studentengruppen hielten eine positive Einstellung zur Annäherung während des ganzen Projektes aufrecht. Die Prognose über eine Aenderung auf lang Sicht zwischen beiden Teilnehmergruppen wird diskutiert.  相似文献

THE DIMENSIONS OF EXPRESSION INHIBITION: PERCEPTIONS OF OBSTACLES TO FREE SPEECH IN THREE CULTURES   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Wyatt  Robert O.; Katz  Elihu; Levinsohn  Hanna; Al-Haj  Majid 《Int. Journal of Public Opinion Research》1996,8(3):229-247

As part of a comparative study of attitudes toward freedom ofexpression, Americans, Israeli Jews, and Israeli Arabs wereasked about the social contexts in which they feel unfree tospeak and about the reasons that inhibit them. Home was theleast inhibiting locus in all three cultures and, for the U.S.respondents, the workplace was most inhibiting. Responding toa battery of 33 reasons for not speaking out, all three culturesgave highest ratings to items related to the fear of hurtingothers. Questions measuring fear of being disapproved or hurtby others—including fear of isolation from the majorityand fear of legal restraint—were ranked lower. An overallindex of inhibition items proved highly reliable cross-culturally.Americans claimed least inhibition and Israeli Arabs most. Malesand those with higher education levels and incomes were alsoless inhibited across the three cultures. Expression inhibitionwas negatively, through weakly, related to support for expressiverights among both Israeli groups and American whites but notAmerican blacks, where the relation was positive. Expressioninhibition was negatively related to political activity amongAmericans and Israeli Jews but not among Arabs.  相似文献   

Effective Collaboration between Teachers and Parents in Israel: A Strategy for Improvement of the Educational Process     

Yaacov Katz 《Pastoral Care in Education》1997,15(4):14-18

Traditionally the roles of schools and parents have been seen as separate activities. More recently, a view has developed that parents and schools should work together in a close and integrated relationship. The writer discusses the nature of this partnership and the roles of both parents and teachers in it. The nature of the school–parent relationship in Israel is considered. In the final section of the paper, the development of such a partnership in a particular Israeli elementary school is described and evaluated.  相似文献
