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.

Peter Wood 《Academic Questions》2007,20(4):277-294
This essay on the ethical mission of the university explores extremes of anti-social behavior, visiting numerous crime scenes
before concluding that contemporary higher education has lost the capacity—and even the language—for taking character development
seriously. In his attempt to determine whether coincidently traditional-liberationist-diversiphilic-apathetic colleges can
morally improve their charges, Peter Wood collects a wrenching compendium of violent academic mayhem.

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.

This article discusses the Priority Education Zones project (ZEP) in Mauritius. The original and innovative dimensions of
the project are described, together with the difficulties encountered during the setting-up of the ZEP schools. The article
covers five main issues: the status of the ZEP project; the minimal conditions for success; the implications concerning the
teachers; the obstacles faced; and the strategy devised to implement the ZEP project, while overcoming the obstacles.

In an earlier article I drew a distinction between two general types of listening. In one the listener brings pre-determined
categories to bear in extracting useful information from the speaker’s utterance. In the other the listener suspends such
categories to hear as much as possible in the utterance. This distinction has been challenged by Sophie Haroutunian-Gordon.
This article responds to her critique.

In a “settler society” such as Canada, inequalities in higher education have geo-political dimensions, necessitating a theoretical
framework that considers the geographic distribution of material wealth and power. This paper explores both the economic and
social implications of the geographical distribution of the higher education system in British Columbia, Canada, including
the ways in which stratification by institutional type may reinforce spatial inequalities. The study shows that system expansion
has not improved regional representation, which has socio-economic implications.

Campus-based urban legends have the potential to convey and construct student culture in higher education. Basic qualitative
and humanistic research methods were used to collect, analyze, and interpret legends related to the academic experience of
collegiate life.

In this rejoinder, we respond to the major points made by Gallo-Fox (this forum), Beers (this forum), Carambo and Stickney
(this forum), and Murphy, Carlisle and Beggs (this forum). We focus primarily on the benefits and considerations that stem
from employing additional theoretical frameworks for analyzing research in coteaching. We also address some of the future
directions that should be explored in coteaching research.

Schooling improvement initiatives have demonstrated that moderate but significant achievement gains are possible with well
designed interventions, but there is little research into whether these gains can be sustained. The present study examines
the extent to which acceleration in achievement made during a three-year literacy intervention and the associated school-based
practices were continued. Statistical modelling showed continued acceleration in student achievement (four months in addition
to expected progress) at a rate similar to the intervention. The school-based practices associated with sustainability were
part of a process of change (rather than a specific instructional programme) comprising two dimensions — organisational learning
through ongoing inquiry into solving problems arising from teaching and learning and the development of professional learning
communities to promote organisational learning. Effectiveness was enhanced by schools embedding the process into their normal
school routines as part of a coherent instructional programme and the availability of expertise.

In this paper we analyse the language used by kindergarten children and their teacher while they discuss the fairness of two
games that involved the concept of chance. Their discussions show that the children are able to overcome their primary intuitions
concerning the fairness of a game and to comprehend the important role of materials. The children mostly used counting strategies
in order to justify their opinion; this reveals the establishment of a primary discursive community based on the premise that
each opinion should be justified in order to be accepted by the other children and the teacher.

In modern mathematical teaching, it has become increasingly emphasized that mathematical knowledge should be taught by problem-solving,
hands-on activities, and interactive learning experiences. Comparing the ideas of modern mathematical education with the development
of ancient Chinese mathematics, we find that the history of mathematics in ancient China is an abundant resource for materials
to demonstrate mathematics by hands-on manipulation. In this article I shall present two cases that embody this idea of a
hands-on approach in ancient Chinese mathematics, at the same time offering an opportunity to show how to utilize materials
from the history of Chinese math in modern mathematical education.

The impact of increased academic intensity on transfer rates from community colleges to 4-year institutions has been estimated
only from observational data, with the possibility of selection bias. This study uses matching estimators to overcome possible
selection bias and estimate the causal impact of increased academic intensity on transfer rates. Using student unit record
data from Tennessee for the years 1995 through 2004, I find that taking 12 or more credit hours increases the probability
of transfer from between 11% and 15%.

Program assessments are an essential part of the ongoing survival of teaching centers performed by faculty development personnel
at institutions of higher education. Little research is available to guide developers in performing these assessments. In
this article we describe assessments conducted at three Canadian universities and highlight the theoretical models used to
guide the process. Reflections on the strengths and challenges are discussed for each program assessment for the purpose of
assisting faculty developers in performing similar program assessments of their faculty development offices.

In this Forum, we construct a history of the National Association for Research in Science Education (NARST) through the analysis of documents and through the personal perspectives of individuals. The history of NARST is inseparable
from the biography of the individuals through whose lives it was produced and reproduced. The history of NARST is a living
history that both shapes and was shaped by the biographies of its members.

This paper demonstrates a formal statistical test that can be used to help researchers make decisions about alternative statistical
model specifications. This test is commonly used by researchers who would like to test whether adding new variables to a model
improves the model fit. However, we demonstrate that this formal test can also be employed when alternative representations
of variables or constructs are considered for inclusion in a regression. An empirical example is provided using information
from a widely cited US Department of Education report. Substantively, we find evidence that an alternative representation
of an important policy variable would have been a better fit to the data than the index that was used in the analysis conducted
in the report.

This study examined the experience of faculty ethicality in education. Research questions focused on faculty characterizations
of professional ethics, related socialization experiences, and responses to dilemmas. Interviews were conducted with 32 faculty
members and analyzed using the constant comparative method. Findings describe the experiential dimensions of faculty ethicality
and the influence of a higher education ethos on professional reasoning and decision making. The tenure and promotion process
is the most influential dimension; but faculty reward systems in general, as well as personal and family identification, also
help to structure ethicality. Four elements of academic ethicality are discussed: standard, information, diversity, and integrity.
