A Case of Generativity in a Culturally and Linguistically Complex English Language Arts Classroom     

Allison Skerrett 《Changing English: An International Journal of English Teaching》2011,18(1):85-97

This article examines an ESL English language arts teacher’s conceptions of linguistic diversity, literacy learning and her role as teacher in a culturally and linguistically complex classroom. It further examines her processes of learning about, and developing curricular and pedagogical innovations to meet, her students’ learning needs. The successes and paradoxes of, as well as constraints to, those efforts are explored. The paper uses Ball’s theory of generativity and recent research on effective English language arts instruction in culturally and linguistically complex classrooms to facilitate analysis. It offers some implications for teachers’ development of generativity for teaching culturally and linguistically diverse students.  相似文献   

Video diaries: a tool to investigate sustainability-related learning in threshold spaces     

Jane Roberts 《Environmental Education Research》2011,17(5):675-688

This paper takes as a case study an undergraduate field class from a UK university to rural Uganda. It describes and evaluates the use of video diaries as a tool for investigating the process of transformative learning in the context of education for sustainability. The applicability of threshold concept theory to this learning is investigated. Results show the video diary technique to be much more successful in capturing the development of student learning than written diaries. Despite some practical difficulties, rich data were generated. Analysis demonstrated that learning met three of the five criteria for threshold concepts: the learning was transformative, integrative and troublesome. Further research could test whether the learning in this case study met the threshold concept criterion of irreversibility. Further elaboration of the theoretical relationship between threshold concepts, transformative learning and education for sustainability is also needed. It is concluded that the video diary method is potentially transferable to other educational research contexts and may be particularly suitable for researching learning in threshold spaces.  相似文献   

Chinese children with ASD in Hong Kong (SAR): development of inclusive practice     

Brenda Peters  Chris Forlin 《Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs》2011,11(2):87-98

The advancement of inclusive educational provision in the Asia‐Pacific region has been guided by international research. As one example, Hong Kong has developed a unique and cultural response to inclusive practice within the region. This paper reviews Hong Kong's development of inclusive education practice for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It provides an account of how services in education have developed for Chinese children with ASD, from diagnosis to school placement, and how the students are supported. A number of challenges for the region are discussed including those related to pedagogy, mentoring, placement, support and the need for culturally appropriate professional learning.  相似文献   

Concentric collaboration: a model of leadership development for healthcare organizations     

Cynthia Roberts  David Coghlan 《Action Learning: Research and Practice》2011,8(3):231-252

Drawing on their experience in a Midwest healthcare system, the authors propose a model of leadership development through action learning that embraces ‘concentric collaboration’ at its core. The present study suggests that the process of concentric collaboration can serve to strengthen the skills of the individual leader as well as foster collective leadership. Central to the model is the growth and development of the individual leader which extends outward to create connections with others, ultimately increasing the social capital necessary to effect organizational change. This work contributes to the leadership development literature by offering a comprehensive model that includes the process of individual growth as well as collective capacity, organizational factors that support or inhibit this process as well as implications for practice.  相似文献

关于我国当前中小学教师专业发展活动的调查研究     

崔允漷 《全球教育展望》2011,(9):25-31

基于"发展得比较好的教师更能准确地评判影响教师专业发展的因素"的假设,本研究借用网络技术的优势,就当前中小学教师专业发展活动的相关问题,调查了132位拥有"中高"职称的教师。结果发现:一是"典型"的校本教研活动虽然开展的频率高,但教师对其效果的评价却很差;二是我们在强调"典型"的校本教研活动的重要性的同时,忽视了那些"非典型"的、主要由个人自主研修或校外进行知识输入的专业发展活动的作用;三是教师对"听专家报告"和"做课题研究"这两项专业发展活动持有较高水平的认可;四是当前教师参与校本教研活动的积极性存在"小(学)高中(学)低"现象,反映了"越是需要专业知识和技能支持的老师,参加专业发展活动的积极性越低"的尴尬。  相似文献
