The value of teachers’ engagement in and with research is long recognised and it is acknowledged that school–university research partnerships are one way of enabling such engagement. But we know little about how research-based knowledge is negotiated into school practices. Here we draw on data from nine ‘research champions’, who are teachers in schools which are part of the Oxford Education Deanery, a research partnership with a university department. Taking a cultural/historical approach, the study examined the strategic intentions and actions in the activities of the champions as they negotiated research-based knowledge into their schools. Data comprised 59 completed templates that described what they did and why. Findings revealed differences between those with close links with senior leaders—who could take a whole-school approach—and those whose reach was restricted by their position in school practices. Nonetheless, all the champions carefully selected and targeted research in ways that reflected their knowledge of local contexts. The findings point to the need to incorporate the champion role into school systems and for universities to value the role as they develop their own research agenda. 相似文献

Children's Responses to Contrasting `Realistic' Mathematics Problems: Just how realistic are children ready to be? 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
In recent years there has been an increasing emphasis within the world of mathematics education on realistic problem solving. At the same time research has shown that children typically remain apparently unwilling or unable to introduce realistic considerations when solving supposedly realistic word problems, though research has also shown that children's behaviour in this domain does vary as a function of the nature of the item, its context and the child's social background. This paper analyses 11–12 year-old English children's responses to two realistic problems. The first is taken from English national tests; the second is a revised version of this item which has been rewritten to encourage a more realistic pattern of responses. Through a comparison of responses to the two items it is suggested that, given suitable realistic problems, many children may be more willing and able to introduce realistic responses in a testing context than earlier research might lead us to expect.This revised version was published online in September 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

Teachers in the UK and elsewhere are now expected to foster creativity in young children (NACCCE, 1999; Ofsted, 2003; DfES, 2003; DfES/DCMS, 2006). Creativity, however, is more often associated with the arts than with mathematics. The aim of the study was to explore
and document pre-service (in the UK, pre-service teachers are referred to as ‘trainee’ teachers) primary teachers’ conceptions
of creativity in mathematics teaching in the UK. A questionnaire probed their conceptions early in their course, and these
were supplemented with data from semi-structured interviews. Analysis of the responses indicated that pre-service teachers’
conceptions were narrow, predominantly associated with the use of resources and technology and bound up with the idea of ‘teaching
creatively’ rather than ‘teaching for creativity’. Conceptions became less narrow as pre-service teachers were preparing to
enter schools as newly qualified, but they still had difficulty in identifying ways of encouraging and assessing creativity
in the classroom. This difficulty suggests that conceptions of creativity need to be addressed and developed directly during
pre-service education if teachers are to meet the expectations of government as set out in the above documents. 相似文献

Class size continues to rise in primary schools with many more children now being taught in large classes. Even so, the relationship between class size and children's access to the range of appropriate curriculum activities has been given sparse consideration. Given this neglect, this study was designed to assess teachers' perceptions of the effects of larger classes on children's opportunities to experience the full breadth of the national curriculum. 相似文献

The array representation and primary children’s understanding and reasoning in multiplication 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

We examine whether the array representation can support children’s understanding and reasoning in multiplication. To begin,
we define what we mean by understanding and reasoning. We adopt a ‘representational-reasoning’ model of understanding, where
understanding is seen as connections being made between mental representations of concepts, with reasoning linking together
the different parts of the understanding. We examine in detail the implications of this model, drawing upon the wider literature
on assessing understanding, multiple representations, self explanations and key developmental understandings. Having also
established theoretically why the array representation might support children’s understanding and reasoning, we describe the
results of a study which looked at children using the array for multiplication calculations. Children worked in pairs on laptop
computers, using Flash Macromedia programs with the array representation to carry out multiplication calculations. In using
this approach, we were able to record all the actions carried out by children on the computer, using a recording program called
Camtasia. The analysis of the obtained audiovisual data identified ways in which the array representation helped children,
and also problems that children had with using the array. Based on these results, implications for using the array in the
classroom are considered. 相似文献

Parents of children with intellectual disabilities and/or autism have been shown to experience higher levels of distress than other parents. Despite such data having been available for several decades, the evidence base for psychological interventions to support parental well-being is small. Recent data suggest that both mindfulness and acceptance processes are associated with decreased psychological distress for parents of children with intellectual disability and/or autism. In addition, some controlled evaluations of mindfulness-based interventions for these parents have resulted in positive outcomes for mothers in particular. In the present study 18 mothers and 3 fathers were recruited via special schools who then attended a Mindfulness Based Well-Being for Parents (MBW-P) group over eight weeks. Parents completed questionnaire measures before and at the end of the course. Statistical analysis showed significant reported increases in mindfulness and self-compassion, and reduced general stress. Parents also reported reductions in anxiety and depression, although these changes were not statistically significant. No significant reductions in their child’s behaviour problems or increases in the child’s prosocial behaviour were found. Parents also reported high levels of satisfaction with the course. These preliminary data suggest that further research studies testing the effectiveness of the MBW-P course are warranted. 相似文献

Children of 10–11 years of age were interviewed while undertaking a range of mathematic problems, most of which embedded mathematical operations in textually represented realistic settings. One problem, concerning a lift moving people in the morning rush, comprised a division‐with‐remainder problem in which children are required, conventionally, to introduce a particular realistic consideration in order to produce the ‘correct’ answer. Another problem was an extended version of this, requiring children to comment on four competing answers produced by other children. Analysis of responses to the first of these two problems demonstrated that it was working class children who were especially likely to fail to produce the conventionally required answer. Having shown this, the paper concentrates on portraying the ways in which ‘failing’ working class children interpret and respond to the two problems. Our purpose here is to contribute to understanding the difficulties working class children appear to have in negotiating the demands of contextualized problems. 相似文献
