Ideological differences in a writing class evoke the passion of political sensitivities. A graduate student tells of “coming
out” as a pro-life advocate in an essay before his feminist classmates and professor. The exchange created instant and irreconcilable
enemies, but he also found some unexpected support from a hesitant voice within that classroom.

This study investigated the relationship between components of working memory (WM) and the macrostructure (e.g., planning,
writing, and revision) and microstructure (e.g., grammar, punctuation) of writing. A battery of WM and writing measures were
administered to 160 high-school students. Overall, hierarchical regression analyses showed that the central executive component
of WM significantly predicted planning, writing, and revision as well the majority of microstructure measures. The results
further validate the importance of WM in the writing process, but indicate that writing process is more intricately tied to
the controlled attention component of WM when compared to storage of information.

Since many teachers and students recognize other kinds of knowledge (faith) based on other ways of knowing, consideration
of these realities is appropriate for the science education community. Understanding the multitude of ways that clergy view
relationships between science and faith (i.e. alternative ways of knowing) would assist in understanding various ways that
people address complex issues arising from ideas about science and faith. We administered a questionnaire composed of multiple-choice
and short answer items to 63 United Methodist ministers. Findings included (1) that formal, organized faith contexts (e.g.
church services) serve as informal science education opportunities, (2) participants demonstrated considerable diversity regarding
the types of relationships developed between science and faith, and (3) participants recognized a need exists for better understandings
of science and its relationship to faith for them, their colleagues, and their congregations.

A research framework for creative and imitative reasoning 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Johan Lithner 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2008,67(3):255-276
This conceptual research framework addresses the problem of rote learning by characterising key aspects of the dominating
imitative reasoning and the lack of creative mathematical reasoning found in empirical data. By relating reasoning to thinking
processes, student competencies, and the learning milieu it explains origins and consequences of different reasoning types.

This study used innovative assessment practices to obtain and document broad learning outcomes for a 15-hour game-based curriculum
in Quest Atlantis, a multi-user virtual environment that supports school-based participation in socio scientific inquiry in
ecological sciences. Design-based methods were used to refine and align the enactment of virtual narrative and scientific
investigations to a challenging problem solving assessment and indirectly to achievement test items that were independent
of the curriculum. In study one, one-sixth grade teacher used the curriculum in two of his classes and obtained larger gains
in understanding and achievement than his two other classes, which used an expository text to learn the same concepts and
skills. Further treatment refinements were carried out, and two forms of virtual formative feedback were introduced. In study
two, the same teacher used the curriculum in all four of his classes; the revised curriculum resulted in even larger gains
in understanding and achievement. Gains averaged 1.1 SD and 0.4 SD, respectively, with greater gains shown for students who
engaged more with formative feedback. Principles for assessing designs and designing assessments in virtual environments are
presented.

The d’Arbeloff Interactive Mathematics Project or d’AIMP is an initiative that seeks to enhance and ultimately transform the
teaching and learning of introductory mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A result of this project is
a suite of “mathlets,” a carefully developed set of dynamic computer applets for use in the university’s ordinary differential
equations course. In this paper, we present the rationale for such computer innovations, the philosophy behind their design,
as well as a discussion of their careful development and implementation. Survey results are reported which yielded positive
student feedback and suggestions for improvement.

This article explores how Sandra Cisneros alludes to and recasts popular fairy tales in The House on Mango Street to reveal their troubled legacy in the lives of many women in the novel. Drawing upon Latina feminist theory and Cisneros’s
autobiographical writing, this article posits that the main character Esperanza’s alternative “happily ever after” comes through
locating the vocation of writing as the fulcrum for self-definition and social change. It is suggested that feminist literary
criticism can be enhanced through analysis of heroines from diverse cultural backgrounds and theoretical frameworks attuned
to racial and ethnic diversity.

Twenty-two faculty and graduate students were interviewed in one college of education in order to understand what the college
and its constituents view as the skills, habits of mind, and dispositions needed to obtain a Ph.D. in Education. Analysis
of the data was conducted using professional socialization as a theoretical framework, allowing for an understanding of the
different perspectives of this topic as viewed through a developmental lens. Implications for theory and practice are included.

The importance of groupware tools in e-learning practice is increasing, because of their educational relevance and of the
importance of group abilities in today’s job activities. The paper addresses some critical issues of asynchronous collaborative
tools hosted in Web-learning platforms. A model to capture user quality perceptions for these tools is presented, and an investigation
conducted in three case studies where e-learning platforms were used to share and comment on written works is reported in
detail. Quantitative and qualitative data are used in a complementary way to capture the complexity of educational collaborative
activities. The impact of technologies on work organization, writing and peer-feedback activities is discussed. Users dedicated
more time to feedback activities than they would have in real-life contexts, and paid more attention to the style and content
of their writing. Communication was more focused and honest than in real life (even though more distant and at the risk of
misunderstanding), and its indirectness encouraged shy and impaired people. Usability problems emerged from platform design,
educators’ choices and server-side settings; Web-based systems seem to pose specific usability issues when users are required
a strong active role; compatibility issues highlight the need for a closer Web standard compliance.

Two studies analyzed impacts of writing and receiving web-mediated peer reviews on revision of research reports by undergraduate
science students. After conducting toxicology experiments, 77 students posted draft reports and exchanged double-blind reviews.
The first study randomly assigned students to four groups representing full, partial, or no peer review. Students engaging
in any aspect of peer review made more revisions than students confined to reviewing their own reports. In the second study,
all students engaged in peer review, and the influence of writing versus receiving critiques was analyzed using linear regression.
Both studies showed receiving reviews to be more significant than writing them in terms of triggering report revisions. Students
valued the peer review experience and credited it with giving them insights about their work. Conclusions address implications
for optimal design of online peer review systems and for further research into student learning gains.

The whole mode of Galileo’s discovery of the Law of Inertia is an excellent exemplar of the Nature of Science. The law can,
moreover be shown to be a direct consequence of the hypothesis that space is homogeneous and isotropic and time is homogeneous

In this paper, in response to Ajay Sharma’s paper titled “Portrait of a science teacher as a bricoleur: A case study from
India” and associated reviews, I address the value of bridging two narrative styles for describing teacher development, discuss
questions of over-essentializing an Indian school context, propose that teacher and student participants should be included
in this type of writing series, and identify institutional barriers to researchers acting as agents-of-change.

In this rejoinder to Bryan Brown and John Reveles, we highlight the facts that (a) sociocultural theories of learning do not
go far enough because they fail to address a number of issues and (b) we require concepts such as power and positionality
to understand science learning.

Our 5-year professional development intervention is designed to promote elementary teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and practices
in teaching science, along with English language and mathematics for English Language Learning (ELL) students in urban schools.
In this study, we used an end-of-year questionnaire as a primary data source to seek teachers’ perspectives on our intervention
during the first year of implementation. Teachers believed that the intervention, including curriculum materials and teacher
workshops, effectively promoted students’ science learning, along with English language development and mathematics learning.
Teachers highlighted strengths and areas needing improvement in the intervention. Teachers’ perspectives have been incorporated
into our on-going intervention efforts and offer insights into features of effective professional development initiatives
in improving science achievement for all students.

We would like to thank our commentators Reis, Ercikan and Alper for their insightful comments on our research study and respond
in brief to a few of their criticisms. More specifically, we would like to address what we consider to be the three main issues
they raise with regard to the practices of curriculum translation and implementation across languages, namely viewing speakers’
intentions as a mode of signification in discourse analysis, exploring curriculum translation through an interpretive research
approach, and establishing the validity of research on curriculum translation.

Homelessness is a growing social problem in the United States. Especially vulnerable to this phenomenon are young children because homelessness is viewed as a breeding ground for disabilities. Despite federal legislation ensuring educational opportunities, the educational needs of children who are homeless are frequently unfulfilled. This article reviews the educational rights of children who are homeless, including those with disabilities, and offers recommendations and suggestions as to how early childhood programs can help meet the needs of homeless young children with disabilities and their families.
