Bringing Women into the Curriculum

The author argues for a rational method to analyze behavior problems and proposes a method of identifying the problem, the objectives to be achieved, the solution, the implementation, and the evaluation (IOSIE) as a practical approach to assist teachers in resolving most classroom behavior management problems. The approach draws heavily on well-known classroom management strategies and encourages readers to put those into place by using the five-step IOSIE approach. The letters in the term IOSIE represent steps to follow when analyzing acts of classroom misbehavior.

Bringing Total Quality Improvement into the college classroom

This paper describes a recent effort to infuse the Total Quality Improvement (TQI) approach, popularized by Deming and others, into an upper-division, junior-senior economics course at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The process of infusing TQI into instruction has received relatively little attention. Most efforts to bring TQI into higher education focus on improving administrative operations and establishing courses and programs for students to learn how to apply TQI in their future jobs. The challenge is in using TQI to help students realize their potential for learning in traditional courses.The TQI instruction approach developed for use in the course had three major elements. Customer Focus is represented by the proficiencies emphasized in the course and expected of graduating economics majors. Student Involvement is represented by team-centered research projects whose purpose is to enhance the proficiency of creating new knowledge. Continuous Improvement is represented by ongoing student evaluations of the course and instructor, carried out by a student team.After discussing the motivation for adopting this approach and the independent development of the concept of proficiencies in the economics major, the paper moves on to discuss the planning, implementation, and execution of the course. Particular attention is given to discussing the operation of the teams and the development of a multi-faceted ongoing evaluation process to assess the effectiveness of the TQI Instructional Approach.The evaluation results indicate strong student satisfaction with the TQI orientation of the course, while at the same time pointing out ways of improving what was done.The author is grateful to Jacob O. Stampen and Mark Finster for helping him learn about TQI, and to Ian Hau whose seminar stimulated this effort to infuse TQI into the classroom. Helpful comments on a draft of this paper came from Jacob O. Stampen, Maury J. Cotter, Charles A. Liedtke, Paul Weiss, and Michael L. Williamson. Special thanks for generating much of the underlying data go to the Evaluation Team of Kevin Brumm, Kimberly Klatt, and John Kittilstad, and to the Proficiency Team of Evan Anderson, Deana Lynn Grobe, and Tom Yale. Ilona Loser and Kris Feggestad assisted in assembling the results of the surveys. Suzanne Vinmans handled the typing, Vicki Szypulski made the visuals, and Elaine Moran provided helpful editorial suggestions. Laura A. Guy, Data and Program Library Service, facilitated access to the Current Population Survey tape used by several teams, and Kurt Neuwirth, Social Science Microcomputer Laboratory, created a user-friendly approach to the Current Population Survey data.     

Bringing competency analysis into the 21st century

Current business and educational environments are mandating the identification, building, and assessment of specific critical competencies for the workforce. However, traditional approaches to competency analysis are often slow, expensive, and backward looking. This article presents several new computer‐aided approaches to competency analysis and provides examples of their use, including a detailed case study analyzing curricula and skills for professionals who provide benefits and work incentives planning and assistance to persons with disabilities.     

Bringing creativity back into primary education

Much of what happens in primary classrooms reflects a number of rituals and routines that have largely become an unconscious part of teachers’ repertoires. While these ‘rituals of practice’ provide a framework or structure to learning in classrooms, they are often left unexamined. These taken-for-granted ways of teaching require close examination in order to ascertain their merit or otherwise for children's learning. This paper outlines some rituals of practice in primary classrooms in the Arts (dance, drama, music and visual art). It outlines the nature of these rituals and discusses how some were disrupted by teachers-as-researchers in collaboration with their university colleagues in a joint research project. The findings suggest that research partnerships of this nature provide a supportive environment for questioning assumptions and enacting alternatives that promote learning.

语文教学要充分发挥语言功能

语言的功能是多维的，它包括语言和思维两大基本功能，还蕴涵情感功能、审美功能以及文化等功能。充分发挥语言的这些功能，可以使语文教学定位在“语言”本身，突出语文学科的基础性、工具性，培育学生的创新意识和实践能力，有效地推进语文教学改革。 　　一、充分发挥语言交际功能，提高学生的表达能力 　　语言的人际交往功能是语言最基本的功能。人在社会实践中学习、生活、工作都是以语言为媒介，儿童的成长也是在逐渐掌握语言过程中发展起来的。“儿童习得语言的过程亦可以理解为逐步掌握语言表达功能的各种可能方式的过程，语言是在…

Bringing Progressivism into a Critical Theory of Education

This paper argues for the theoretical and practical possibilities of applying a ‘critical theory’ of education to British primary schools. It traces the series of misconceptions and misinterpretations of progressive education which, coupled with the neglect of its own emancipatory potential, has allowed it to be discredited by right‐wing and left‐wing politics. Re‐establishing a fairer reading of its central tenets and coupling this with the developing concept of a ‘socially critical primary school’ provides for an emancipatory primary education which embraces critical theory.
