Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins tells the archetypal story of the young, virgin, orphan girl who is vulnerable to either debauchery or rescue. That such
a girl must succumb to either one or the other is a necessary element of the archetype. In O’Dell’s work—one intended, after
all, for children—the heroine is rescued by a paternalistic figure and re-inscribed into the patriarchal world. Yet, in the
hands of young readers, Island—part fairytale, part rescue narrative, part feminist parable—becomes a story of independence and survival, despite the heroine’s
“rescue” at the end.

When Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man was published in 1952, he could not have known the impact his metaphor of invisibility would have on adolescent and YA literature.
However, upon closer inspection, the importance and prevalence of his metaphor becomes evident. Authors of adolescent and
YA literature routinely use the metaphor as an intertextual shortcut to discuss issues that shape adolescent subjectivity,
which is demonstrated through an examination of Sapphire’s Push, Virginia Hamilton’s The Planet of Junior Brown, and Robert Cormier’s Fade.

The author analyzes two texts, Gloria Whelan’s Homeless Bird and Deborah Ellis’s Parvana’s Journey, in an attempt to explain some of the problems and difficulties associated with those texts. The author examines Whelan’s
representations of India and finds troubling binaries associated with that text. In comparison, the author finds Ellis’s depictions
of Afghanistan more nuanced and complex. The author also discusses student reception of both texts and offers ways to problematize
some of their reactions.

This article reviews significant contributions made by Joe L. Kincheloe to critical research in science education, especially
through a multimethodological, multitheoretical, and multidisciplinary informed lens that incorporates social, cultural, political,
economic, and cognitive dynamics—the bricolage. Kincheloe’s ideas provide for a compelling understanding of, and insights
into, the forces that shape the intricacies of teaching and learning science and science education. They have implications
in improving science education policies, in developing actions that challenge and cultivate the intellect while operating
in ways that are more understanding of difference and are socially just.
Gillian U. Bayne is an assistant professor of science education at Lehman College, City University of New York. Having also completed a master’s degree in secondary science education at New York University, she has taught science both in New York City’s public school system and in independent schools for over 10 years. Gillian’s research interests are focused on the utilization of cogenerative dialogues with high school and college students, their teachers and other stakeholders to improve science teaching and learning. 相似文献

The Outsiders if often credited with marking the emergence of YA literature. It was written by a teenager and was intended to represent
honestly the difficult lives of other young adults. Despite the novel’s audience and purpose and its potentially provocative
acknowledgment of the problems of social class, The Outsiders was readily institutionalized as part of school reading lists and educational curricula throughout the United States. Its
institutionalization can be accounted for in part by the way it offers a palliative to the problems it depicts. The protagonist,
Ponyboy, represents the novel itself as an intervention into those problems, but it works to reaffirm a notion of rugged individualism
and a faith in American education. Such lessons ultimately disarm the novel’s class critique and render it safe for educational
institutions.

Dr. Sreyashi Jhumki Basu was a scholar committed to equity and social justice in science education who passed away in December
2008. In this essay, I describe Jhumki’s research and the call to action her life’s work has laid out for the science education
community. In particular, I draw attention to the role of critical science agency in learning and the democratic science pedagogy
model that Jhumki developed to support students in crafting such agency.

Conflicting measures of state support for postsecondary education create confusion and misunderstanding that convolute debates
about states’ postsecondary education funding. The use of multiple measures is largely unnecessary, though. A simple single
measure is constructed that adequately quantifies both states’ postsecondary need and states’ ability to pay. Specifically,
this study proposes measuring state support for postsecondary education as state postsecondary funding per high school graduate
over the previous four years per dollar of per capita income.

Within the context of the growing development of intercultural counsellor education, the question of how different cultures
reconceptualize and transform Western counselling theories for their own context is an important one. In this intercultural
exchange in education, concepts such as ‘globalization’, ‘indigenization’ and ‘universalization’ have an impact on the education
process. This paper briefly explores these terms and movements and then highlights findings from a research project that took
place with a group of counselling graduates in Hong Kong examining how they undertook the processes of reconceptualization
and transformation. The dialogical process involved in that enabled participants and researcher to co-explore the process
of knowledge development within the counselling education field. Implications for counsellor education are highlighted.

The purpose of this study is to understand the dynamics of Korean students’ international mobility to study abroad by using
the 2-D Model. The first D, the driving force factor, explains how and what components of the dissatisfaction with domestic higher education perceived by Korean students drives
students’ outward mobility to seek foreign higher education. The second D, the directional factor, describes the factors that influence the choice of destination country for students’ outward mobility, and is explained
by the comparison of Korean students’ perceptions on the images of universities in the U.S., China, the U.K., and Australia
and their expectations for higher education in each country (categorized as ‘academic’–‘environmental’). Two questionnaire
surveys were conducted to analyze the two D factors and the research findings were integrated into suggestions for each country’s
higher education institutions that can be incorporated into their recruitment strategies for international students.

This article focuses on responses of higher education institutions to governmental policy. We investigate the influence of
organisational characteristics on the implementation of quality management in Hungarian higher education institutions. Our
theoretical framework is based on organisational theories (resource dependency and neo-institutionalism), Allison’s models
on organisational decision-making processes, and also addresses some of the more specific characteristics of higher education
institutions. Our empirical investigation shows that organisational characteristics matter in policy implementation of quality
management in Hungarian higher education. Certain organisational variables, viz. leaders’ commitment to the implementation
process, the involvement of external consultants, institutional reputation, and bureaucratic and political decision-making
processes have strong effects on the implementation of quality management. Characteristics particular to higher education
institutions were much less influential.

This article explores the theoretical foundations of social cohesion as it relates to higher education institutions. In so doing it seeks (a) to understand the core elements of social cohesion—social
capital, human capital and ethical behavioural norms that serve a common good—and (b) to establish a flexible framework for
understanding the combined contributions of higher education to society. Tertiary institutional phenomena (those occurring
in higher education) that are involved in the creation of social cohesion are hereafter termed academic social cohesion. The particular emphasis is on higher education’s role in cultivating moral awareness as a vital product of institutions’
primary activities. These core functions of colleges and universities are discussed in relation to both academic social cohesion
and the degree to which they should involve the creation of specific ethical norms.

This qualitative study examines the collaboration and leadership practice that influences the education of homeless students
in a large Mid-Atlantic city. The perspectives of administrators and staff members from three homeless shelters are analyzed
with insights from Spillane’s (Distributed leadership, 2006) distributed leadership theory. Findings from the study indicate
that differences in shelter and school structures and cultures present significant obstacles to productive communication that
would facilitate homeless children’s schooling. Several structural and programmatic recommendations are made towards developing
more effective leadership practice among schools and shelters.

The 18 preschool teachers in the study tended to agree that preschool education for 4-year-olds should foremost be fun and engaging, not stressful. Teachers should develop curricula based on children’s interests and everyday lives, and allow children to choose their activities and to direct their own play and exploration at their own pace. The goal of preschool education should be to promote children’s social, emotional, and physical well-being, and not focus so much on academic learning.

This article argues that Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials may be read as a series which attempts to assault the Christian doctrine of God. We believe that this demonstrably accords with Pullman’s personal views, and that, through his story, he seeks to foster such views in his readership. However, the accuracy of his attack falls short of its intended mark when it is examined alongside classical Christian theology. The Authority which Pullman’s narrative destroys is actually more akin to the Christian view of the devil than he is the divine, and the victories of Will and Lyra—as a new Adam and Eve—have strong resemblances to the victories which Christianity claims for Christ and Mary. Pullman’s narrative, therefore, becomes an inversion of his deicidal intention rather than an inverting and revolutionary destruction of theology.

A great challenge in education research involves the difficulty of differentiating between studies that apply commonly understood
theoretical perspectives and recognizing studies that merely rename old theoretical frameworks. This conflict between intellectual
innovation and intellectual retrofitting emerges as central to Basu, Calabrese-Barton, Clairmont, and Lock’s exploration of
the relationship between critical agency and student identity development in science.

In this commentary on Brayboy and Castagno’s paper, published in this volume, we discuss, on the one hand, many points of
agreement between their proposal of culturally responsive schooling for indigenous youth and El-Hani and Mortimer’s proposal
of culturally-sensitive science education. On the other hand, we focus on a key disagreement, not only with Brayboy and Castagno,
but with a whole body of literature on multicultural, postcolonialist, postmodernist education. The main point of disagreement
lies in the fact that we are not sure that to broaden the concept of science so as to talk about “native science” or “indigenous
science” is indeed the best strategy to attain a goal that we wholeheartedly share with Brayboy and Castagno, to value other
ways of knowing for their own sake, validity, and legitimacy.

Written from the vantage point of both a mother and teacher educator, the author recounts the journey taken by Sarah, her
4-year old daughter, as she is introduced to and explores map making as a means of representing and making sense of familiar
and unfamiliar places. Offering Sarah’s experience as context, the author offers both a practical and theoretical discussion
of children’s emerging geographic literacy, its relationship to identity development and the importance of understanding children’s
experience and socio-emotional development to inform pedagogy.

Few pieces of GLBTQ fiction have received the popular and scholarly acclaim awarded to Alex Sanchez’s Rainbow Boys series. Although “problem novels” are rarely taken seriously as literature, the books—the first novel in particular—have
joined the few pieces of GLBTQ literature incorporated into educational discourse and curriculum. In this article, the author
suggests that although the positive nature and surface construction appeals to those seeking “affirmative” representations
of GLBTQ youth, the contributions made by the series may be overshadowed by its reliance on heteronormative gender stereotypes
that may actually work to perpetuate homophobic attitudes toward gay sexuality.

Today’s media is filled with stories of man’s inhumanity toward man. Education journals are replete with assessments of educators
as failing to meet the demands of the modern world. Jansen offers stories of hope to counterbalance the bombardment of negative
stories. His research “explores the character of leadership in transition societies”. He draws portraits of three educators,
in leadership roles, whose lives provide a moment for us to catch our breath and remember that leaders have choices about
how they will live out their roles in ways that are grounded in social justice
