Dimensions of student alienation and characteristics of public high schools     

Wayne K. Hoy 《Interchange》1972,3(4):38-52

This research paper investigates the relationship between characteristics of public schools and student alienation from schools. As hypothesized, custodialism in pupil control orientation and some aspects of school climate were related to variants of student alienation. However, organizational characteristics that were related to one type of alienation were not necessarily related to others, and occasionally they were related in unexpected ways.

Résumé Ce rapport de recherche est consacré à l'étude de la relation qui existe entre les caractéristiques des écoles publiques et la désaffection des étudiants vis-à-vis des écoles. Comme on le supposait, la responsabilité du contrôle de l'orientation des élèves ainsi que certains aspects du climat scolaire sont à l'origine des variantes de la désaffection estudiantine. Toutefois les caractéristiques de l'organisation qui sont à l'origine d'un type donné de désaffection ne sont pas à l'origine d'autres désaffections et il est arrivé que ces caractéristiques aient des rapports inattendus entre elles.

Student fear in secondary schools     

Ivor Wayne  Robert J. Rube 《The Urban Review》1982,14(3):197-237

Our data have shown that physical aggression has an extreme psychological effect on the student body of American secondary schools; it creates a subgroup of youngsters so adversely affected by fear as to merit the often-misused label of socially disadvantaged. This study has discovered that fearful youngsters differ importantly from others by virtue of much more than simple avoidance patterns. More than others, apprehensive youth tend to dislike their school, their teachers, and their fellow students. They see themselves as suspicious of their surroundings and helpless to modify conditions of a game which appears beyond their control.  相似文献   

Mapping transgender policyscapes: a policy analysis of transgender inclusivity in the education system in Ontario*     

Wayne Martino  Lee Airton  Diana Kuhl  Wendy Cumming-Potvin 《教育政策杂志》2019,34(3):302-330

Abstract

In this paper we draw on Mettler’s concept of the policyscape and apply it to an examination of policy-making processes and events as they pertain specifically to an analysis of transgender inclusivity and gender diversity in the Ontario context. We employ Ball’s focus on policy as text and policy ensembles alongside Bailey’s employment of policy dispositifs to map key events that characterize important legislative developments that define the Ontario education policy landscape with regards to addressing gender identity and gender expression as a basis for anti-discrimination. We situate particular events such as the GSA (Gay Straight Alliance or Gender and Sexuality Alliance) and sex education controversies within a broader context of trans activism, which we identify as pointing to quite specific contingencies that characterize the Ontario policyscape. Overall, the paper extends a consideration of the specificities of the Ontario case in Canada to a broader reflection on the utility of the policyscape as a crucial concept for making sense of the relevance of more general characteristics of a spatially-focused trans informed policy analysis.  相似文献   

A Historical Perspective and Current Views on the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Wayne J. Camara  Suzanne Lane 《Educational Measurement》2006,25(3):35-41

The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing have evolved in the breadth and depth of coverage of issues in educational testing and measurement since their first publication in 1954. There were a number of substantive changes in the 1999 revision that addressed validity, fairness, accommodations, and compliance with the Standards. In addition, there was nearly a 50% increase in the number of standards contained in the last revision. The next revision of the Standards may be initiated in 2007 and there are remaining concerns about access and awareness by non-measurement professionals, compliance by test publishers and users, relevance in addressing mandates for accountability, and substantive areas of educational assessment. This review of major changes to the Standards and discussion of future topics is designed to inform the next revision.  相似文献   

Framing Controversial Identity Issues in Schools: The Case of HB2, Bathroom Equity,and Transgender Students     

Wayne Journell 《Equity & Excellence in Education》2017,50(4):339-354

This article explores how teachers might address controversial identity issues in their classrooms, using the 2016 North Carolina House Bill 2 that raised the issue of transgender bathroom rights to the forefront of societal discourse as an example. I analyze the issue using the three most commonly cited criteria for determining the openness of controversial issues: epistemic, political, and politically authentic. I then discuss the challenges teachers face when confronted with issues that are epistemically settled but publicly open and implicate students' identities. I conclude by arguing that in those cases in which there exists a clear empirical justification for teaching a controversial identity issue as settled, doing so may be prudent even if it limits democratic discourse or presents an inherent risk for teachers.  相似文献   

Differences in cost,tenure ratio,and faculty flow as a result of changed mandatory retirement ages     

Wayne N. Bottomley  Robert H. Linnell  Herbert W. Marsh 《Research in higher education》1980,13(3):261-272

The present study uses the USC Faculty Planning Model to determine the impact of changes in the mandatory retirement age. Analysis was performed for three faculty groups, differing in age and rank distributions, and with three different policy scenarios (representing low turnover, high turnover, and retrenchment). Results indicate that the impact of changes in retirement age will vary considerably depending upon the initial faculty age and rank distributions and, to a lesser extent, upon the policy assumptions made.  相似文献   

Changes in children's self-competence and values: gender and domain differences across grades one through twelve   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jacobs JE  Lanza S  Osgood DW  Eccles JS  Wigfield A 《Child development》2002,73(2):509-527

This study extended previous research on changes in children's self-beliefs by documenting domain-specific growth trajectories for 761 children across grades 1 through 12 in a longitudinal study of perceptions of self-competence and task values. Hierarchical Linear Modeling was used to (1) describe changes in beliefs across childhood and adolescence within the domains of mathematics, language arts, and sports; (2) examine the impact of changes in competence beliefs on changes in values over time in the same domains; and (3) describe gender differences in mean levels and trajectories of change in competence beliefs and values. The most striking finding across all domains was that self-perceptions of competence and subjective task values declined as children got older, although the extent and rate of decline varied across domains. For example, in language arts, competence beliefs declined rapidly during the elementary school years, but then leveled off or increased to some extent; whereas the decline in self-competence beliefs in sports accelerated during the high school years. Significant gender differences in beliefs were found in most domains; however, the gender differences in developmental trajectories appeared to be domain specific rather than global. Importantly, the gender differences between boys and girls did not systematically increase with age, as predicted by some socialization perspectives. Adding competence beliefs as an explanatory variable to the model for task values revealed that changes in competence beliefs accounted for much of the age-related decline in task values. In addition, competence beliefs accounted for most of the gender differences in task values for language arts and sports.  相似文献   

Devising inequality: a Bernsteinian analysis of high‐stakes testing and social reproduction in education   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Wayne W. Au 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2008,29(6):639-651

High‐stakes, standardized testing has become the central tool for educational reform and regulation in many industrialized nations in the world, and it has been implemented with particular intensity in the United States and the United Kingdom. Drawing on research on high‐stakes testing and its effect on classroom practice and pedagogic discourse in the United States, the present paper applies Bernstein’s concept of the pedagogic device to explain how high‐stakes tests operate as a relay in the reproduction of dominant social relations in education. This analysis finds that high‐stakes tests, through the structuring of knowledge, actively select and regulate student identities, and thus contribute to the selection and regulation of students’ educational success.  相似文献   

Experience and Reflection: Preservice Science Teachers’ Capacity for Teaching Inquiry     

Wayne Melville  Xavier Fazio  Anthony Bartley  Doug Jones 《Journal of Science Teacher Education》2008,19(5):477-494

In this article, we investigate the relationship between preservice teachers’ inquiry experience and their capacity to reflect on the challenges involved in implementing inquiry into classrooms. For data, we draw on the personal narratives of preservice science teachers enrolled in science instruction courses. Preservice teachers with extensive inquiry experiences perceive implementation challenges principally in terms of teaching and student learning. This contrasts with the perceptions of preservice teachers with limited inquiry experience for whom the main concerns relate to the negative perceptions of others, time, the curriculum, and materials. By identifying these perceptions, it may be possible to develop courses that assist limited and moderate-experience preservice teachers’ move toward the perceptions of their more inquiry experienced colleagues.  相似文献
