A Nonfoundationalist Approach to Education in Religion     

Christopher Richardson 《Religious education (Chicago, Ill.)》2013,108(2):292-303

This article suggests an epistemologically nonfoundationalist approach to education in religion. First, it reviews the meaning of “epistemological foundationalism” and gives examples of its influence in the field of religious education. Then, differentiating between antifoundationalism and nonfoundationalism, it considers the educational implications of Richard Rorty's concepts of normal and abnormal discourse. Although acknowledging Michel Foucault's poststructuralist perspective as a critical caveat to Rortian optimism, it maintains the usefulness of Rorty's categories in relation to a proposed redefinition of the terms instruction and education.  相似文献   

Some considerations for Advancing the Teaching of Reading Comprehension   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Peter Winograd  Peter Johnston 《教育心理学家》2013,48(3-4):213-230

In this article we identify a number of issues that need to be addressed if we are to continue to make advances in the teaching of reading comprehension. First, we suggest that it is important to continue the search for a variety of effective instructional approaches for teaching reading comprehension and to learn more about the conditional applicability of the instructional approaches currently in vogue. Second, we argue that it is important to expand our definition of reading comprehension to more fully appreciate the social, political, and educational dimensions of reading comprehension and reading instruction. Finally, we consider some of the impediments hindering the classroom application of comprehension instruction research and we argue that researchers must become more concerned with the pragmatic aspects of how to make a difference to comprehension instruction in the classroom.  相似文献

Entrepreneurialism and the transformation of Russian universities     

Peter Taylor 《Studies in Continuing Education》2013,35(2):217-220

Like many Western knowledge‐practices, experiential learning is seen to require what is, in effect, an act of self‐dismemberment, a splitting of the head from the body that denies the connectedness of knowledge to the body and thus loses sight of knowledge as a product of corporeally and emotionally grounded human life. This article first traces the history through which modernist knowledge‐practices were predicated on the rejection of the experiencing body and examines the impact of the resultant epistemology on power relationships. It then suggests that, as a function of memory, experiential learning is more properly understood as an act of re‐membering. It argues that experience is itself located in the body as well as in the social and material locations that bodies invariably occupy — and asks what a theory of experiential learning might look like that re‐members body and mind.  相似文献

Towards a Competency Model for Teaching Computer Science     

Elena Bender  Peter Hubwieser  Niclas Schaper  Melanie Margaritis  Marc Berges  Laura Ohrndorf 《Peabody Journal of Education》2013,88(4):519-532

To address the special challenges of teaching computer science, adequate development of teachers’ competencies during their education is extremely important. In particular, pedagogical content knowledge and teachers’ beliefs and motivational orientations play an important role in effective teaching. This research field has been sparsely investigated up to now and there exists no consistent competency model for teaching computer science in Germany. Therefore, this paper describes the development of competency in the areas of pedagogical content knowledge, teachers’ beliefs, and motivational orientations with regard to computer science. Competency-relevant factors for teaching computer science are theoretically derived and concretely formulated with the help of expert interviews conducted according to the critical incident technique and analyzed using techniques of qualitative content analysis.  相似文献

Finding a Golden Mean in Education Policy: Centering Religious and Public Schools     

Bruce S. Cooper  Rose Byron McSween  Peter Murphy 《Peabody Journal of Education》2013,88(3):368-382

The separation between Church and State, private and public education, is blurring, and coming together, as the government gives families vouchers to attend private and religious schools. Religious groups are starting and supporting their own charter schools, and local jurisdictions (cities and counties) are providing free transportation and food services to children attending private schools. What emerges, and is the focus of this analysis, is the new “middle ground,” a “golden mean,” by which public schools learn diversity and choice while private/religious schools are helped by public programs and funds. The oldest, perhaps, was Lyndon Johnson's compromise with the Catholics to get Title 1 passed as part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act that sends public school teachers into private schools to help children in need. This study examines the emergence of a middle group in public–private education, and how the policies are working and what's changing. It argues that the child is the center of education, and government and private agencies are changing and should come together to serve the clients, the children.  相似文献
