The purposes of this study were to determine preservice physics teachers’ instructional beliefs and to investigate the relationship
between their beliefs and practices. The theoretical framework was based on the combination Haney & McArthur’s (Science Education, 86(6):783–802, 2002) research and Ford’s (1992) motivation systems theory. A multicase study design was utilized for the research in order to focus on a belief–practice
relationship within several examples. Semistructured interviews, observations, and preservice teachers’ written documents
were used to collect data. Results showed that most preservice teachers held instructional beliefs aligned with constructivist
philosophy. Some of the preservice teachers’ beliefs were consistent with their practices while some of them presented different
practices from their beliefs in different placements. 相似文献

This exploratory study addresses differences in self-image as a client characteristic in career counselling by using the Structural
Analysis of Social Behaviour (Benjamin, L., Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 64(6), 1203–1212, 1996; Benjamin, L., Journal of Personality Assessment, 66(2), 248–266, 1996) and an adaptation (Andersson, W.P, and Niles, S.P., The Career Development Quarterly, 48(3), 251–263, 2000) of the Therapist Intention List (Hill C. E and O’Grady K. E., Journal of Counseling Psychology, 32(1), 3–22, 1985; Hill et al., Journal of Counseling Psychology, 35(3), 222–233, 1988). Expected and experienced behaviour of self and other, recalled helpful and non-helpful events during sessions, and evaluation
of sessions were compared between two clients with identified positive self-image and two clients with identified negative
self-image. The results indicated that the clients with a positive self-image compared to clients with a negative self-image
expected more positive behaviours and experienced more positive in-session behaviours from both themselves and from the counsellor;
they recalled more positive and fewer negative events in-session and they evaluated their session more positively. Implications
for career counselling are discussed. 相似文献

Since the publication of the first young adult novel to deal with issues of sexual identity, John Donovan’s (1969) I’ll Get There, It Better Be Worth the Trip, over 200 novels have been published centered around gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) characters
and conflicts (Cart and Jenkins, 2006, The Heart has Its Reasons: Young Adult Literature with Gay/Lesbian/Queer Content, 1969–2004. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press). In significant contrast to early texts, many authors in recent years have sought to promote
inclusion of LGBTQ individuals and to present LGBTQ characters in a positive light. To do so, they frequently create antagonistic
homophobic characters and situations that provide a sense of realism (Crisp, 2009, Children’s Literature in Education, 40, 333–348). In this paper, I present several representative examples from these novels that challenge homophobia, but ultimately
leave it intact. Text excerpts are drawn from the numerous contemporary realistic LGBTQ-themed texts, published between the
years 2000–2005, and marketed to young adults. I then contrast these texts with the novel Boy Meets Boy (Levithan, 2003). Through the novel’s blurred genres and inventive use of linguistic features, Boy Meets Boy is able to more effectively undermine heteronormative assumptions by presenting the unthinkable: children as sexual beings,
hegemonic masculinity as in fact non-hegemonic and detrimental to success, and homosexuality as normalized and even ordinary. 相似文献

Shelly Sheats Harkness 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2009,70(3):243-258
The study reported here is the third in a series of research articles (Harkness, S. S., D’Ambrosio, B., & Morrone, A. S.,in
Educational Studies in Mathematics 65:235–254, 2007; Morrone, A. S., Harkness, S. S., D’Ambrosio, B., & Caulfield, R. in Educational Studies in Mathematics 56:19–38, 2004) about the teaching practices of the same university professor and the mathematics course, Problem Solving, she taught for preservice elementary teachers. The preservice teachers in Problem Solving reported that they were motivated and that Sheila made learning goals salient. For the present study, additional data were
collected and analyzed within a qualitative methodology and emergent conceptual framework, not within a motivation goal theory
framework as in the two previous studies. This paper explores how Sheila’s “trying to believe,” rather than a focus on “doubting”
(Elbow, P., Embracing contraries, Oxford University Press, New York, 1986), played out in her practice and the implications it had for both classroom conversations about mathematics and her own mathematical
thinking. 相似文献

This paper explores the possibilities of working with White, working-class teacher education students to explore the “complex
social trajectory” (Reay in Women’s Stud Int Forum 20(2):225–233, 1997a, p. 19) of class border crossing as they progress through college. Through analysis of a course that I have developed, Education and the American Dream, I explore political and pedagogical issues in teaching the thousands of teacher education students who are the first in
their families to attend college about social class. Arguing that faculty in teacher education too often disregard the significance
of deep class differences between themselves and many of their students, I propose that teacher education include coursework
in which upwardly-mobile students (a) draw upon their distinctive perspectives as class border-crossers to elucidate their
“complex social positioning as a complicated amalgam of current privilege interlaced with historic disadvantage” (Reay in
Women’s Stud Int Forum 20(2):225–233, 1997a, p. 25) and (b) complicate what Adair and Dahlberg (Pedagogy 1:173–175, 2001, p. 174) have termed a cultural “impulse to frame class mobility as a narrative of moral progress”. Such coursework, I suggest,
has implications for the development of teacher leaders in stratified schools. The paper draws upon the literatures on social
class and educational attainment, on the construction of classed identities in spite of silence about class in public and
academic discourse, and on pedagogies for teaching across class differences. 相似文献

A primary goal of educational systems is to provide learners with the information, skills, and dispositions needed to be an
effective member of a complex and information-rich society. To effectively address this goal, educators and educational psychologists
need to understand both the ability and the willingness of learners to grapple effectively with information. A psychological
construct that may illuminate heretofore unexplored aspects of learners’ willingness or reluctance to grapple with information
is the need for closure (Kruglanski, Psychol Inq 1(3):181–197, 1990; Kruglanski and Webster, Psychol Rev 103:263–283, 1996; Webster and Kruglanski, J Pers Soc Psychol 76(6):1049–1062, 1994). The purpose of this article is to provide educational psychologists with a theoretical overview of need for cognitive closure,
highlighting its applicability to instructional settings. We will also discuss what closure needs may look like within the
classroom and the conditions under which they may be exhibited. We argue for the relevance of the need for closure construct
for improving educators’ understanding of teaching and learning processes. 相似文献

Universities should be developing female middle-managers for reasons of gender balance (Aitkin in The Last Boilerhouse Address,
Canberra University 2001), the skills shortage, pending mass retirements (Chesterman in Not doable jobs?’ Exploring senior women’s attitudes to leadership
roles in universities. Women’s Higher Education Network Conference, Bolton, 2004) and sustainable, post-bureaucratic organizations (Kira and Forslin in J Organ Change Manage 21(1): 76–91, 2008). Investigating the learning and development of women managers is timely. Research assumes that women in academe have the
qualifications, experience and skills for management. Is this the case? The paper provides the first national demographic
and development profile of women middle-managers in academic and the research-neglected administrative streams in Australian
universities, with a sample of 342 women (46% response rate). Age is a particularly notable demographic with the majority
of academics within 5–10 years of retirement. Nearly 60% of academics experienced few current development opportunities and
their discipline-based qualifications did not prepare them for management. However, a greater number of administrative managers
received relevant preparatory training. Once in their current management roles women experienced markedly fewer development
opportunities. If higher education institutions are learning organizations, continuous learning should be evident (Watkins
in Adv Dev Hum Res 7(3): 414, 2005). Our research shows this is far from the case. 相似文献

Relationships between career maturity and self-concept, parenting style and individualism–collectivism across Australian and
Thai cultural contexts were investigated. Berry’s (1969) etic-emic model for adapting instruments for cross-cultural research was applied. Derived etic status was achieved for the career planning scale, five self-concept sub-scales and the Parental Bonding Instrument. Mean
score comparisons revealed few significant differences between Australia and Thailand. None of the independent variables were
associated with Thai career planning. Academic and social self-concept scales and father care were related to career planning
in Australia. Implications are discussed. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine gender differences in the relations between verbal, spatial, mathematics, and teacher–child
mathematics interaction variables. Kindergarten children (N = 80) were videotaped playing games that require mathematical reasoning in the presence of their teachers. The children’s
mathematics, spatial, and verbal skills and the teachers’ mathematical communication were assessed. No gender differences
were found between the mathematical achievements of the boys and girls, or between their verbal and spatial skills. However,
mathematics performance was related to boys’ spatial reasoning and to girls’ verbal skills, suggesting that they use different
processes for solving mathematical problems. Furthermore, the boys’ levels of spatial and verbal skills were not found to
be related, whereas they were significantly related for girls. The mathematical communication level provided in teacher–child
interactions was found to be related to girls’ but not to boys’ mathematics performance, suggesting that boys may need other
forms of mathematics communication and teaching. 相似文献

Research has shown the Holocaust to be the primary component of Jewish identity (Farago in Yahadut Zmanenu 5:259–285, 1989; Gross in Influence of the trip to Poland within the framework of the Ministry of Education on the working through of the
Holocaust. Unpublished M.A. thesis, Ben-Gurion University, Beer Sheva, 2000; Herman in Jewish identity: A socio-psychological perspective, Sage, Beverly Hills, 1977; Levy et al. in Beliefs, observations and social interaction among Israeli Jews. Louis Guttman Israel Institute of Applied
Social Research (Hebrew), Jerusalem, 1993; Ofer in Jews in Israel: Contemporary social and cultural patterns. Brandeis University Press, Hanover and London, pp. 394–417,
2004a) and to contribute significantly to Jewish Israelis’ sense of belonging to the Jewish people. Though the Holocaust is a central
event in Jewish history, Holocaust education is mandatory in the state education system in Israel, and some research has investigated
the impact of this education, the field has not been conceptualized systematically (Blatman in Bishvilei haZikaron 7:15–16,
1995; Feldman in Bishvilei haZikaron 7:8–11, 1995; Ofer in Jewish Educ 10:87–108, 2004b; Schatzker in Int J Polit Educ 5(1): 75–82, 1982). This article attempts to organize the existing knowledge on the subject through a meta-analysis of the foundations and
basic premises of Holocaust education in Israel, using the most important literature in the area. It first suggests a conceptual
framework, organizing by period the changing attitudes toward the Holocaust in general and Holocaust education in particular.
It then describes Holocaust education over the years, and finally analyzes the goals of Holocaust education, along with its
major dilemmas and challenges. 相似文献

The PISA studies of reading achievement of 15 year old students in OECD and partner nations show Anglophone nations to have
continuing high proportions of weak readers (≤Level 2), with no improvement in this area from 2000 to 2006 (OECD, Science
competencies for tomorrow’s world: Executive summary, 2007). The nations which have decreased their proportions of low achievers all use highly regular (transparent) orthographies,
which expedite the development of efficient reading and writing skills (Galletly and Knight, Aust J Learn Disabil 9(4):4–11,
2004). While international scrutiny is being focussed on socio-cultural differences in education as a basis of nations’ achievement
differences, little consideration is currently being applied to the speed of reading accuracy and spelling development. This
is surprising, given the volume of research showing that orthographic regularity significantly expedites development of reading—accuracy
and spelling—with very low rates of reading difficulties in nations with highly regular orthographies (Seymour et al., Br
J Psychol 94:143–174, 2003, p. 174; Share, Psychol Bull 134(4):584–615, 2008, p. 615). This paper proposes Transition-from-early-to-sophisticated-literacy (TESL) as a variable for use when considering
cross-national achievement differences. It is proposed that Complex TESL nations (including Anglophone nations) will need
paradigmatically different mechanisms to those used by Resolved and Facilitated TESL nations, for improved literacy and academic
outcomes by lower achievers. 相似文献

This study was designed to examine gender differences in attachment styles and explore the relationship between attachment
styles and preference for conflict handling behavior in close relationships among Turkish adolescents. The participants comprised
371 Turkish undergraduate students (252 females and 119 males; with a mean age of 21.98 years; standard deviation 1.18) enrolled
in different departments of the Faculty of Education at Middle East Technical University in Ankara. A Turkish version of Bartholomew
and Horowitz’s (J Pers Soc Psychol, 61:226–244, 1991) Relationship Questionnaire (RQ) and the Conflict Questionnaire (CQ) developed by Tezer (J Psychol, 130:281–292, 1996) were used to obtain data. Intercorrelations among four attachment style subscales, and correlation coefficients among four
attachment styles and five conflict handling behaviors were computed in addition to a series of ANOVAs and ANCOVAs. Results
revealed an association between attachment styles and conflict handling, as well as gender differences in attachment styles. 相似文献

In 2007 the Rudd Labor government in Australia introduced significant changes to education policy for the nation. The Skilling Australia’s Future (Rudd et al. Skilling Australia for the future. Election 2007 policy document, 2007) policy was meant to redress a perceived failure by the previous Howard federal Liberal-National Coalition
governments to fund and manage vocational skills training adequately. The Skilling Australia’s Future policy established a number of areas for immediate action. This paper looks at one of these areas from the policy document,
namely, the Rudd government’s plan for addressing skills shortages (Rudd et al. 2007, pp. 4–9) through the establishment of Trade Training Centres in schools. The policy is analysed using Critical Discourse
Analysis, featuring the semiotic concept of intertextuality. Findings from the application of this method suggest that Skilling Australia’s Future (2007) belongs within a history of like-minded policy and, although a new direction is provided by the allocation of Trade
Training Centres to selected high schools, the policy is not clearly separable from the market-driven discourse that has pervaded
education policy since the 1990s. 相似文献

Bullying in schools has been identified as a serious and complex worldwide problem associated with negative short- and long-term
effects on children’s psychosocial adjustment (Smith 1999; Ttofi and Farrington, Aggressive Behav 34(4):352–368, 2008). Entering kindergarten is a crucial developmental step in many children’s lives mainly because it is within this context
where they participate, for the first time, as members in a stable peer group and well-organized team activities. Consequently,
preschool may be the first context beyond the home environment where children’s difficulties in social interactions with peers
can be primarily detected and assessed by adults and professionals. This paper reviews recent empirical evidence over the
nature and different aspects of bullying among preschool children. Recent findings concerning the development of preschool
bullying and its prevalence, family and genetic factors, gender and age differences, participant and peripheral roles, school
context, methodological issues, and prevention policies are reviewed while directions for future research are addressed. 相似文献

Today’s emphasis on using children’s literature as a tool to teach reading and writing sub-skills distracts teachers’ attention
from looking to children’s books for their historical role in helping children navigate the intellectual, social, and emotional
terrains of childhood. This article argues, first, that early childhood educators must remain fluent in the use of literature
that supports young children’s psychosocial development. Second, teachers must establish criteria for choice. By way of example,
it examines two popular books for young children, Sendak’s (1963) Where the Wild Things Are [New York: HarperCollins Publishers] and Shannon’s (1998) No, David! [New York: Blue Sky Press] Three theoretical perspectives guide the analysis. The first combines Dewey’s (1938/97) [Experience and education. New York:Touchstone] impetus for learning and Vygotsky’s (1978) [Mind in society. Cambridge: Harvard University Press] theory that learning precedes development through scaffolded social
interaction. The second is Erikson’s (1950, 1985) [Childhood and society. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.] theory of psychosocial development in light of the
4–6-year-old’s drive towards self-regulation, control, and independence. The third is Rosenblatt’s (1978) [The reader, the text, the poem. Urbana, IL: National Council of Teachers of English] transactional nature of reading. 相似文献

The 21st century as a digital age is characterized by the increased accessibility of information and knowledge through the
medium of sophisticated technological tools. The main aim of this article is to show how educational technology can be used
effectively to help students construct knowledge when teaching Islamic studies in the UK. The first part of this paper summarizes
the differences between information sharing and knowledge construction with reference to the essence of knowledge as Aristotelian
‘episteme’ (theoretical knowledge) and technê (practical knowledge: know-how); and the extent which the former process is created by the use of Information Technology
(IT) while the latter is enhanced by Educational Technology (ET). The second part explores how ET can be used effectively
to ‘provide training in critical and creative thinking skills of students’ as an integral part of producing useful tools and
generating practical benefit during their learning process (Felder et al. 2000, p. 26; Callaos 2009, p. 3). The third, then, explains why a student centred and research-based teaching is preferred to traditional research-led
method in order to support the construction of knowledge. The paper concludes by presenting some reflections and limitations
on how effective use of ET and research-based teaching can help students to become critical thinkers while studying Islam
and Middle Eastern politics as part of international politics curriculum in the UK. 相似文献

Using a case study approach, the authors examine the democratic and civic engagement learning outcomes of a campus protest.
The conceptual framework is built on the ideas outlined in Learning Reconsidered (Keeling 2004) and modeled in its pragmatic follow-up, Learning Reconsidered 2 (Keeling 2006). Results suggest student and campus administrator actions during a campus protest support democratic aims, student development,
and digital age democracy. Recommendations for campus educators are included. This study extends previous discussion on activism’s
journey from detrimental to developmental (Astin 1999; Chambers & Phelps 1993; Hamrick 1998; Hunter 1988) by mapping the learning environment through the interaction of protestor and university and by incorporating new forms of
activism.

The purpose of this study was to explore the views of students enrolled at a small United States Midwestern community college
toward learning mathematics, and to examine the relationship between student beliefs about mathematic learning and educational
experiences with mathematics using Q methodology and open-ended response prompts. Schommer’s (Journal of Educational Psychology, 82, 495–504, 1990) multidimensional theory of personal epistemology provided the structural framework for the development of 36 domain specific
Q sort statements. Analysis of the data revealed three distinct but related views of learning mathematic which were labeled
Active Learners, Skeptical Learners, and Confident Learners. Chi-square tests of independence revealed no significant differences
based on gender. Additionally, there was no evidence for differences based on level of mathematics completed, age, or college
hours accumulated. Student’s previous experiences in instructional environments, however, were closely associated with beliefs.
Results are discussed in view of the implications for establishing learning environments and considerations in implementing
Standards-based curricula in higher education. 相似文献
