In this issue of Cultural Studies of Science Education, Mack and colleagues (Mack et al. 2011) seek to identify the necessary components of science education in Indigenous settings. Using a review of current research
in informal science education in Indigenous settings, along with personal interviews with American educators engaged in these
programs, the authors suggest some effective practices to use Indigenous ways of knowing to strengthen science programming.
For the past 4 years, we have been interested in the importance of place in culturally relevant science education. We have
explored the role of place and have used Gruenewald’s critical pedagogy of place ( 2003) to examine the importance of place in a variety of Indigenous contexts. In response to Mack and colleagues, in this paper
we explore the importance of place as a means to reinhabituate Indigenous youth who live in urban, First Nation, and rural
Costa Rican contexts. 相似文献

Paralleling the works of Cambourne’s Conditions of Literacy Learning ( The Reading Teacher, 54(4), 414–429, 2001), Copple and Bredekamp’s (Developmentally appropriate practice in early childhood programs serving children from birth though
age . National Association for the Education of Young Children, Washington, 2009) Developmentally Appropriate Practices and the findings from the field of Neuroscience this article explores the important
components of creating an active, stimulating learning environment; one purposely designed to actively engage the minds of
young children in order to help strengthen their neurological networks. The article concludes its exploration with the role
of “mirror neurons” in the learning environment and how they affect the young child's mood, emotions, and empathy. 相似文献

While the literature on women and educational leadership has been addressed in substantive ways in recent years, the experiences that reflect female Australian educational leaders are rare. This article reports findings from a study of five female Indigenous principals in the Northern Territory utilising biographic narratives and foregrounds their experiences as female educational leaders in Indigenous communities. I share the views of Ribbins, P. and Gronn, P. (2013. Researching principals: context and culture in the study of leadership in schools. Asia Pacific journal of education, 20 (2), 34–45) and Dimmock, C. and Walker, A. (2005. Educational leadership: culture and diversity. London: Sage) that research and theory into educational leadership must move towards the inclusion of localised unique cultural contexts since the practice of leadership is a socially bounded process. The study reveals the daily complex roles and challenges of being a female Indigenous principal in communities that are grounded in broader Indigenous epistemologies, beliefs, and value systems yet to be fully embraced by mainstream educational leadership perspectives. 相似文献

Indigenous communities practice survivance and challenge social and political systems to support their children's identity and well-being. Grounded in transformative social-emotional learning (SEL) and tribal critical race theory, this 3-year community-based participatory research study (2019–2021) examined how a SEL program co-created with an Indigenous community in Flathead Nation in Montana supports anti-racism and anti-colonialism among Indigenous children. Critical reflexivity and thematic analyses of Community Advisory Board meetings and journals written by 60 students ( Mage = 10.3, SD = 1.45; 47% girls; 60% Native American) during the SEL program revealed themes on Indigenous identity, belonging, wellness, and colonialism. These results shed light on challenging the racist and colonial roots of education to support Indigenous children's survivance and social-emotional well-being. 相似文献

This editorial introduces a special issue of Environmental Education Research titled ‘Land education: Indigenous, post-colonial, and decolonizing perspectives on place and environmental education research.’ The editorial begins with an overview of each of the nine articles in the issue and their contributions to land and environmental education, before outlining features of land education in more detail. ‘Key considerations’ of land education are discussed, including: Land and settler colonialism, Land and Indigenous cosmologies, Land and Indigenous agency and resistance, and The significance of naming. The editorial engages the question ‘Why land education?’ by drawing distinctions between land education and current forms of place-based education. It closes with a discussion of modes and methods of land education research. 相似文献

Expanding the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australian (hereafter respectfully Indigenous) talent pool to undertake valuable roles in business, health, education, academia, government, policy development and community development is critical for addressing current disparities between Indigenous and other Australians. Parity of access and engagement with education plays a key role in facilitating participation in these roles but has not yet been attained. This article provides an initial systematic review of literature on the state of the evidence regarding access/attraction, retention and completions for Indigenous Higher Degree Research (HDR) students. This article identifies the quantity (number examined), nature (e.g. focus of study), quality (peer reviewed and evidence of methodological rigour) and characteristics (e.g. publication type, authorship) of the limited publications. Using specific search strings (words or phrases of relevance to the topic), a systematic review methodology was employed to search nine databases and grey (non-peer reviewed) literature from 1995 to 2015. The resultant 12 publications were mined with quality assessed and a predetermined framework used to extract and synthesise the characteristics from individual publications. This research contributes to existing literature about Indigenous Peoples in HDR programs internationally in identifying significant cultural and institutional barriers and highlighting institutional enablers which can contribute to attraction, retention and completion. Building on the prior limited research reported in the review, the article highlights the need for further research and provides an initial agenda of directions for universities and government to redress the disparity in entry and completion of Indigenous Peoples in HDR programs. 相似文献

The research project presented in this article was designed to provide a better understanding of the stable and significant
differences in the PISA results between two otherwise very similar Nordic welfare states, Denmark and Finland. In the PISA
studies, Finnish students repeatedly achieve the highest Nordic (and partly worldwide) scores in e.g. reading, science and
math, while Danish students score lower. Even though Denmark has one of the world’s most expensive educational systems, the
OECD ranks the Finnish school system as the world’s best both in terms of quality and equity (OECD 2004). The basic research question is why these differences continue to persist. The case study methodology was mainly inspired by Kirsti Klette’s classroom research (Klette 2003) which involves both interviews and observations. Thus, the overall design could be labeled mixed methods (Johnson and Onwuegbuzie Educational Researcher, 33(7): 14-26, 2004). Five regular public schools in each country were sampled for the comparative classroom studies. The basic theoretical approaches
follow Hundeide’s theory of pedagogical communication and relations ( 2003) and Csikszentmihalyi’s flow-theory ( 1992). Both this study and statistical studies (S?rensen 2008) show that the difference in the Danish and Finnish PISA results mainly consists in the relatively better score by the lowest
scoring 25% of the Finnish pupils compared to the lowest scoring Danish quartile. The results of this study point to a number
of possible classroom related reasons why the Finnish school system can produce a better outcome for the lowest scoring quartile
of pupils. These reasons are presented and discussed in the article. The study underlines the need to focus more on good classroom
management in Denmark—and recommends further international, comparative research in order better to understand the huge differences
shown in large scale international programmes such as PISA, PIRLS and TIMMS. The study also reveal the need for more knowledge
about inclusive classroom practices, the use of teacher assistants and free, healthy school meals for all pupils. 相似文献

Learning and effective teaching are both complicated acts. However, many administrators, teachers, parents, and policymakers
appear not to recognize those complexities and their significance for practice. Fueling this perception, recommendations from
isolated research findings often neglect the complexities in learning and teaching, and when implemented in classrooms often fall
well short of the advertised effect. Consequently, education research is generally ignored, and the resulting research-practice
gap raises concerns regarding the utility of university-based teacher education, and education research more generally. However,
the strength of education research resides in the synergy resulting from its integration into a unifying system that guides,
but does not determine, decision-making. Dewey ( 1929) argued for teacher decision-making guided by education research, but recently several writers have justly criticized education
researchers for not providing comprehensible assistance to educators and policymakers (Good, 2007; Shymansky, 2006; Windschitl, 2005). This paper proposes a decision-making framework for teaching to help beginning and experienced teachers make sense of education
research, come to understand crucial teacher decisions, and how those decisions interact to affect student learning. The proposed
decision-making framework for teaching has significant utility in the design of science methods courses, science teacher education
programs, effective student teacher supervision experiences, and professional development workshops. 相似文献

In this response to Muis et al. ( 2006), I draw on the writings of Dewey to explore three critical questions. The first question is what is gained or what is lost when the study of epistemology moves from philosophy to psychology and eventually to educational practice? The second asks whether the primary question under examination should be if students’ beliefs about knowledge or knowing differ by domains or why they may differ? Finally, what are the implications of the generality or specificity of students’ epistemic beliefs for educational practice? 相似文献

ABSTRACTIn the past two decades, Indigenous faculty and graduate students at research-intensive universities have been asserting a kind of cultural and intellectual sovereignty over their own academic production and participation. While colonization through assimilationist education suppressed – and continues to suppress – Indigenous community knowledge and Indigenous scholars have been drawing on Indigenist revival movements creating new academic works and challenging the conventions of what constitutes research. This article presents conversations in contested spaces regarding Indigenous identity and expression. It draws, in part, on the author’s own experience traveling between Indigenous communities and universities while supervising Indigenous PhD students. Universities are in conflicted positions as they ostensibly invite Indigenous expression, but resist the undoing of conventional hierarchies that maintain hegemonic equilibrium. Are Universities that open spaces for Indigenous knowledges and the place-based blending – and bending – of metaphysical and physical realities leading a paradigm change in ecological consciousness? Can Indigenous scholars and Indigenous communities be represented in academic locations in ways that redirect the goals and purposes of research and knowledge production? This writing is a reflection on emerging, and ongoing, questions of Indigenous advance in academic spaces. 相似文献

In 2007, the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma amended its constitution to limit membership to only those who can trace lineal descent to an individual listed as Cherokee by Blood on the final Dawes Rolls. This exercise of sovereignty paradoxically ties the Dawes Rolls, the colonial instruments used to divide the lands and peoples of the Cherokee Nation, and self-determination. In the process, it effectively disenrolls Cherokee Freedmen, the descendants of Blacks enslaved by the Cherokee Nation. In this article, we explore the implications of this history in the context of self-determination and sovereignty, particularly looking at the influence of colorism on the Dawes Rolls and its ongoing effects. Our goal is to share a piece of history that is often obscured or unknown; to explore how and to what extent the exercise of self-determination and sovereignty in Indigenous nations is impacted by colorism; and finally to consider implications for practice created by the disenfranchisement of peoples from Indigenous nations. 相似文献

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

Robinson, McKay, Katayama, and Fan ( Contemporary Educational Psychology, 23, 331–343, 1998) reported that women were underrepresented in terms of authorships, editorial board memberships, and editorships in the field
of educational psychology based on membership trends. More recently, Evans, Hsieh, and Robinson ( Educational Psychology Review, 17, 263–271, 2005) reported that women had made gains as editors but had not kept pace with organizational membership in terms of authorships
and editorial board memberships. Our goal in this paper was to further examine women’s participation in educational psychology
journals by extending the datasets of Robinson et al. and Evans et al. The number of female authors per article, particularly those from non-US institutions, has continued to increase. However,
consistent with Evans et al., although females are continuing to make numerical gains in both authorships—both primary and secondary—and editorial board
memberships, their involvement has not kept pace in relation to membership trends. 相似文献

Two different methods of practice are available in the learning of simple information, test practice or study practice. Of
these two methods of learning, research has generally shown that test practice is superior to study practice. However, this
research has not considered the testing advantage with respect to the fact that test learning is uncertain (i.e. if recall
fails, nothing appears to be learned) or with respect to the fact that study learning depends greatly on the duration of the
study event. The following work clarifies these issues by presenting an integrated computational model of the relative costs
and benefits of testing compared to study presentation [based on the ACT-R theory of declarative memory; Anderson, J.R. &
Schooler, L.J. ( 1991). Psychological Science 2: 396–408; Pavlik Jr., P.I.. & Anderson, J.R. (2005). Cognitive Science 29: 559–586]. This model was applied to determine how test and study practice can be optimally employed to improve learning
and provides a framework for understanding the effects of mnemonic strategies in simple memory tasks. 相似文献

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

Indigenist scholars have been attending to the research process in ways that highlight the move toward inquiry, the beginnings of the research journey. The energies that animate imagination and inquiry need to be respected and accounted for. If we recognize that place and the consciousness of landscape contain the primordial elements for the Indigenous mind, then it follows that respectful Indigenous research methods should engage with the landscape as the beginning point for inquiry. Centering place and place- ness as containing the ontological meaning of Indigenous methodology is also a way to excavate the specific effects of colonization on Indigenous landscapes and communities. Much Indigenous thought radiates from an invocation of a sentient topography, a land that is aware of human presence. This writing considers what a methodology of place, specifically in the Coast Salish territory, might consist of. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive value of optimism, perceived support from family and perceived
support from faculty in determining life satisfaction of college students in Turkey. One hundred and thirty three students
completed the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., Journal of Personality Assessment 49(1):71–75, 1985), Perceived Social Support Scale-Revised (Yıldırım, Eğitim Araştırmaları–Eurasian, Journal of Educational Research 17:221–236,
2004), and Life Orientation Test (Scheier and Carver, Health Psychology 4(3):219–247, 1985) and provided demographic information about themselves. Independent samples t-test, correlation, and multiple regression analyses were performed for data analysis. Significant relationships were found
among the variables, with regression analysis indicating that perceived support from family, perceived faculty support, and
optimism were statistically significant predictors of life satisfaction. The implications of these results are discussed and
suggestions made for counseling practice and future research. 相似文献

Improving educational outcomes for Indigenous Australian students is a key strategy to helping Indigenous people reach their full potential. This has resulted in well-intentioned efforts by Australian educators and governments to ensure Indigenous children have positive school experiences. However, Indigenous students still lag behind their non-Indigenous counterparts in educational outcomes. This is particularly so for Indigenous students living in rural and remote parts of Australia where educational opportunities are limited, especially in high school. One solution to this problem has been to enrol these students in boarding schools in urban and metropolitan centres. While research on the success of boarding schools for Indigenous students is scarce, what little that does exist is not encouraging. The focus of this research was to examine the effects of boarding for Indigenous ( n = 11) and non-Indigenous students’ ( n = 158) wellbeing ( N = 1423) in two large private boys’ schools. Participating students aged 12–18 years old completed a survey measuring wellbeing constructs on two occasions, 12 months apart. Non-Indigenous boys were generally higher in wellbeing compared with Indigenous boys. There was also evidence of improved social wellbeing beyond that of non-Indigenous boarders over time. Overall, while evidence of merit was weak, boarding schools may benefit their Indigenous students’ development in social wellbeing. 相似文献
