A number of previous studies have addressed gender role-stereotyping in Caldecott Award-winning picturebooks. Building upon
the extensive scholarship examining representations of females in Caldecott books, this current study offers a critical investigation
of how gender is represented in Caldecott Medal-winning literature from 1938 to 2011 by exploring the ways in which “femininity”
and “masculinity,” biological sex, and gender are constructed in these texts. The investigators briefly address author and
illustrator gender and the representations of males and females as characters or images in pictures and text before departing
from previous scholarship to offer a rereading of books that feature “ungendered” leading characters, those that are not identified
in the text as being either “male” or “female” and are therefore open to the interpretation of individual readers. By resisting
cultural cues and normative constructions of gender and biological sex, these ungendered depictions extend the range of possible
ways in which readers may see themselves or those in their lives represented in Caldecott Medal-winning picturebooks. 相似文献

Street Smarts vs. Book Smarts: The Figured World of Smartness in the Lives of Marginalized, Urban Youth 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

How smartness is defined within schools contributes to low academic achievement by poor and racial/ethnic minority students.
Using Holland et al.’s (1998) [Holland, D., Lachicotte, W., Skinner, D., & Cain, C. (Eds.) (1998). Identity and agency in cultural worlds. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.] concept of “figured worlds,” this paper explores the “figuring” of smartness through
the perspectives of marginalized youth. The youth made key distinctions between being book smart vs. street smart. This distinction
is a direct challenge by the youth to the dominant discourse of smartness or “book smarts” as it operates in schools. To the
youth, “street smarts” are more important because they are connected to being able to maneuver through structures in their
lives such as poverty, the police, street culture, and abusive “others.” This distinction is key because street smarts stress
agency in countering social structures whereas, for many of the youth, book smarts represented those structures, such as receiving a high school diploma. Implications for schools and pedagogy are discussed.

Andreas Libavius’ (c. 1555–1616) three part collection of letters, the Rerum chymicarum epistolica forma ... liber (1595–1599) is a particularly important text in fashioning the subject of chemistry as a demonstrative science and as a didactic
discipline. Where Libavius’ Alchemia, which some have claimed to be the first textbook of chemistry, had mostly a humanist agenda, the Rerum chymicarum ... liber more directly sought to wrest the subject of “chemistry” away from Paracelsian adepts, and established the methodological
basis for a specific form of knowledge suitable to the university. Making use of Aristotle’s Posterior analytics Libavius created a “floor-plan” for chemistry that integrated practical experience with natural philosophy, and could thus,
he claimed, penetrate more deeply into the structure of nature than other academic disciplines. 相似文献

Listening and reading comprehension can be assessed by analyzing children’s visual, verbal, and written representations of
their understandings. “Talking Drawings” (McConnell, S. (1993). Talking drawings: A strategy for assisting learners. Journal of Reading, 36(4), 260–269 is one strategy that enables children to combine their prior knowledge with the new information derived from
an expository text and “translate” those newly-acquired understandings into other symbol systems, including an oral discussion
with a partner, a more detailed drawing, and written labels for the drawing. The Talking Drawings strategy begins by inviting
children to create pre-learning drawings. These initial drawings are a way of taking inventory of a child’s current content
knowledge about a particular topic. After pre-learning drawings are created and shared, children listen to or read an expository
text (e.g., information book, passage from a textbook) on the same topic as their drawing. Pairs of students discuss the information
and either modify their pre-learning drawings to be more detailed or create completely new drawings that reflect the recently-acquired
information. Students are encouraged to label their drawings with words in a diagram or schematic fashion. By evaluating the
“before” and “after” artwork, educators can identify advances in students’ reading and listening comprehension of the terminology,
facts, and principles on a particular topic. 相似文献

Homi K. Bhabha is not only a major postcolonial theorist, but he has also become an important thinker for education. This
article reviews the major themes of Bhabha’s work as it applies to education. The article also cautions us that the pressures
in scholarship are to “reify” thinkers and their concepts and then “spend” those concepts like currency in the academic marketplace.
This form of commodification is antithetical to progressive scholarly work. The article encourages a resistance to this form
of commodification through a more complex engagement with the theories developed by Bhabha and an appreciation of the contradictions
in the process of that engagement. 相似文献

Students at all ages hold a wide variety of scientifically faulty knowledge structures called “misconceptions”. As far as
misconceptions in chemistry are concerned, college science students are no exception. Systematic administration to freshman
biology majors of specially-designed mid-term and term higher-order cognitive skills (HOCS)-oriented examinations within the
courses “General and Inorganic Chemistry” and “Introduction to Modern Organic Chemistry” proved these examinations to be very
effective in revealing and distinguishing between students'misconceptions, misunderstandings, and“no conceptions”. Several of these have never been mentioned before in the relevant research literature. Accordingly, reflective teaching
strategies to overcome this “misconceptions problem” and affect meaningfully subsequent learning have been explored and implemented
within our longitudinal effort to develop students' HOCS. The study results combined with accumulated experience indicate
that properly designed HOCS-oriented examinations may be very effective for revealing, but notper se for overcoming, students' misconceptions. However, within HOCS-oriented chemistry teaching, the assessment of students by
such examinations is very useful particularly for providing data for remediation purposes via appropriate modification of
the teaching strategies. Eventually, this leads to gains in students' HOCS which is in line with the overall goal of the current
reform in science education. 相似文献

This paper examines the report of the Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy (Department of Education, Science & Training (DEST) 2005) and explores the claims it makes about reading pedagogy and the centrality of particular “methods” or “approaches” to teaching
backed by “scientific” evidence. Discourse analysis of the report shows that its logics allow only certain kinds of evidence
to count in policy, and that it reduces difficult social and political issues to questions of technique. This allows the report
to recommend an approach whereby qualitative insights and practitioners’ experience can be bypassed through valorising methods
developed and verified by scientific researchers. The report’s claims are considered genealogically in the light of historical
cases from the early nineteenth century, where educational reformers struggled with the issue of how to educate the children
of the poor. In one, the monitorial system promoted by Lancaster in England, there was a focus on reading which made teachers
or monitors artefacts of a standardised method. By way of contrast, in Scotland, a classroom approach developed by Stow (1854) made the teacher central to the process, as someone who sensitively interpreted and extended students’ experiences with
texts. Stow’s approach would form the model for the modern classroom in compulsory state schooling, while the monitorial system
would eventually be abandoned as ineffective. The historical cases demonstrate the dangers of approaches to policy that fail
to account for the complex interplay between teacher, student and text in the reading lesson. 相似文献

In this article, the author explores the richly layered double text of Kushner and Sendak’s picturebook, Brundibar (2003)—the historical context of Brundibár as a Holocaust-era children’s operetta by Hans Krása and Adolf Hoffmeister, and the present day manifestation of Brundibar as a children’s picturebook. In order to contextualize the discussion of Kushner and Sendak’s text, Brundibar’s historical origins in Nazi-annexed Czechoslovakia and its transition to the stage in the Nazi “model” concentration camp,
Terezín, is presented. An extensive semiotic analysis of Kushner and Sendak’s illustrations and text is also provided within
the framework of what Kushner (The art of Maurice Sendak: 1980 to the present, 2003) terms “a world of trouble and woe and worse” (p. 210). Furthermore, the author discusses the development of Sendak’s Hitlerian
Brundibar and the struggles that both Kushner and Sendak faced as they considered how to portray the story’s antagonist, given
their somewhat differing conceptions of which difficult themes and topics children should be exposed to during childhood.
To round out this discussion, the author explores pedagogical implications for teachers as they read difficult texts, particularly
Holocaust texts, with children. 相似文献

We analyse and explore, in the form of dialogues and metalogues questions about the dialogic nature of beliefs and students
belief talk about the nature of science and scientific knowledge. Following recent advances in discursive psychology, this
study focuses not on students' claims but on the discursive resources and dialogical practices that support the particular
claims they make. We argue that students' discourse is better understood as a textual bricolage that is sensitive to conversational
context, common sense, interpretive repertoires, and textual resources available in the conversational situation. Our text
is reflexive as it embodies the discursive construction of knowledge and undercuts any claims to authoritative knowledge.
The very conception of “belief” is itself an expression or construction from within the mundane idiom.... We learn to use
“belief” in conditions when the “objective facts” are unknown or problematic and we want to indicate the tenuous character
of our claim.... The notion of “real world” or “objective reality” is embedded in an extensive, pervasive language game which
includes as an intelligible move or possibility the use of the very concept of “belief” itself. (Pollner, 1987, p. 21) 相似文献

Professional Development of Physics Teachers in an Evidence-Based Blended Learning Program 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The present study examined continuity of learning between face-to-face and online environments in a “blended” professional
development program designed for 16 physics teachers. The program had nine face-to-face meetings as well as continuous online
exchanges between them through a website. The program focused on “knowledge integration” (KI) innovative activities in physics
classes using an “evidence-based” approach: The teachers implemented the activities, collected and analyzed data about their
practice and their students’ learning, and reflected on the evidence with their peers. Five reflective tools were used to
promote continuity: Your Comments, Hot Polls, Smashing Sentences, Hot Reports, and Mini Research. Continuity was assessed with regard to the ideas discussed by the teachers and the reasoning patterns that they employed.
Analysis of the online exchanges in relation to teachers’ face-to-face discourse revealed that the teachers discussed the
same ideas (KI, evidence and learner-centered pedagogies), employed the same reasoning patterns (e.g., forming generalizations),
and extended ideas in re-visitation. The online and face-to-face environments played different and complementary roles in
the teachers’ learning. This study shows that appropriate use of an online environment in a blended program can lead to a
continuous course of learning and can transform a “9 once-a-month-meetings” workshop into a “9-month” workshop. 相似文献

In a previous series of studies, a model of comprehensive competence-based vocational education (CCBE model) was developed,
consisting of eight principles of competence-based vocational education (CBE) that were elaborated for four implementation
levels (Wesselink et al. European journal of vocational training 40:38–51 2007a). The model thus consisted of 32 cells, all defined by text. It was developed to provide study programme teams working in
vocational education with an instrument to assess the actual and desired “competentiveness” of their study programmes. “Competentiveness”
refers to the extent to which study programmes are based on the principles of CBE that we formulated. The model is an instrument
for analysing the alignment of study programmes with the defining principles of CBE and clarifying programme teams’ intentions,
i.e. the extent to which they wish to achieve higher levels of implementation of the different principles. This article presents
the results of two studies, the aim of which was to identify adjustments the teachers felt were necessary to make the CCBE
model a valid instrument for assessing the actual and desired “competentiveness” of their study programmes. In study A, 57
teachers evaluated the model during focus group discussions, resulting in a revised CCBE model consisting of ten principles
for five levels of implementation. In study B, 151 teachers completed a questionnaire to evaluate the comprehensibility of
the revised model. The study showed that teachers understood and interpreted the revised model as intended, were able to position
their study programmes by using the revised model and that the content validity of the revised model was good. 相似文献

The 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Andrew Fire and Craig Mello for discovering “RNA interference—genesilencing
by double-stranded RNA”. The Nobel Committee at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden selected them for the award for unraveling
“a fundamental mechanism for controlling the flow of genetic information” that is “already being widely used in basic science
as a method to study the function of genes and may lead to novel therapies in the future”. This has been one of the fastest
Nobel Prizes conferred in physiology or medicine, considering that Fire and Mello published their path-breaking article in
the journal Nature in 1998, less than ten years ago.

Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, the first novel to be published simultaneously for the UK adult and children’s market, exemplifies the phenomenon of crossover
literature better perhaps than the “Harry Potter” series, whose appeal to a dual-aged audience had caught the publishing industry
by surprise. This article identifies Haddon’s engagement with the genre of detective fiction as one of the reasons for the
novel’s crossover success: while the mystery plot offers a compelling narrative “hook” for children and adults alike, the
postmodern twists on the detective formula open up deeper levels of satisfaction, without alienating the less experienced
members of the audience. Analysed within the context of contemporary crime fiction, Curious Incident also appears to be tapping into a relatively recent literary trend that sees detective novels focusing on young characters
as victims, witnesses and even perpetrators of crimes—itself a reflection of our changing attitudes towards the Romantic view
of childhood as an age of innocence. 相似文献

Using the Social Cognitive Theory as a theoretical framework, this study evaluated a 4-month, individual cognitive-behavioral
intervention program to decrease burnout and increase self-efficacy, engagement, and performance among university students.
The main objective of the intervention was to decrease the anxiety the students coped with before exams in order to increase
their beliefs of self-efficacy. Besides the study group intervened, two control groups were involved (i.e., a “stressed” control
group and a “healthy” control group). All 3 groups filled out a questionnaire before the intervention and then again 6 months
later (2 months after the intervention was completed). The results show that self-efficacy, engagement and performance increased
in the intervened group when compared to both control groups. Regarding burnout, decreases were noted in both the intervened
and stressed control groups but not in the healthy control group. The implications of the study are discussed, together with
its limitations and suggestions for future research. 相似文献

Within the sphere of contemporary social sciences, the terms “modernity,” “post-modernity” and “globalization” have penetrated,
as the core concepts, into various fields of social sciences in a logical way. In constituting the concept of “modernity,”
sociology of education develops the educational theory, as sociological theory does, into a “grand narrative” and “foundationalist”
theory; the contribution of post-modernity is pluralism and self-examination in an attempt to transcend modernity. Globalization,
a kind of expanded modernity, makes education sociologists broaden their perspective from single and traditional “nationality,”
“society” and “nation” to an international society and even to the global society, which has broken through the research paradigm
of modernity with ethnocentrism, anthropocentrism and Euro-centrism. These changes have required urgent constitution of the
conceptions and theoretical frameworks of sociology of education to be applied on a global level.

The acceptance of new chemical ideas, before the Chemical Revolution of Lavoisier, in Greek-speaking communities in the 17th
and 18th centuries did not create a discourse of chemical philosophy, as it did in Europe, but rather a “philosophy” of chemistry
as it was formed through the evolution of didactic traditions of Chemistry. This “philosophical” chemistry was not based on
the existence of any academic institutions, it was focused on the ontology of principles and forces governing the analysis/synthesis
of matter and formulated two didactic traditions. The one, named “the system of chymists”, close to the Boylean/Cartesian
tradition, accepted, contrary to Aristotelianism, the five “chymical” principles and also the analytical ideal, but the “chymical”
principles were not under a conceptual and experimental investigation, as they were in Europe. Also, a crucial issue for this
tradition remained the “mechanical” principles which were under the influence of the metaphysical nature of the Aristotelian
principles. The other, close to the Boylean/Newtonian tradition, was the integrated presentation of the Newtonian “dream”,
which maintained a discursive attitude with reference to the “chemical attractions”–“chemical affinities” and actualised the
mathematical atomism of Boscovich, according to which the elementary texture of matter could be causally explained within
this complex architecture of mathematical “punkta”. In this tradition also coexisted, in a discursive synthesis, the “chemical element” of Lavoisier and the arguments of the
new theory and its opposition to the phlogiston theory, but the “chemical affinities” were under the realm of the “physical
element” as “metaphysical point”. 相似文献

This article presents a Vygotsky-inspired analysis of how a teacher mediated a “thinking aloud” whole-group discussion in
a 6th grade mathematics classroom. This discussion centered on finding patterns in a triangular array of consecutive numbers
as a phase towards building recursive and direct algebraic formulas. By a “thinking aloud” discussion we mean a conversation
wherein students exchange and further develop ideas-in-the-making with their peers under the teacher’s guidance. Drawing upon
Halliday’s systemic functional linguistics (SFL), we treated the selected discussion as a text. We then analyzed how the teacher
mediated the conjoined making of this text so that it served as an interpersonal gateway for students to practice searching
for patterns and signifying these patterns in propositional form. This analysis was guided by the following questions: How
did the discussion as a text-in-the-making mean what it did? What was the role of the teacher in the conjoined making of this
text? Our study illustrates the power of SFL for capturing the inner grammar of instructional conversations thus illuminating
the complexities and subtleties of the teacher’s role in mediating semiotic mediation in mathematics classrooms. 相似文献
