Current models of self-regulated learning emphasize the pervasive need for metacognitive monitoring skills at all phases of
the learning process (Winne and Hadwin in Studying as self-regulated learning. In D. J. Hacker, J. Dunlosky, & A. C. Graesser
(Eds.), Metacognition in educational theory and practice (pp. 227–304). Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum, 1998). In this investigation, we examined the impact of teaching 5th grade students how to self-monitor their comprehension and
make confidence judgments. One treatment class (N = 21) engaged in process-oriented comprehension monitoring training while the other (N = 24) engaged in both comprehension monitoring training and response-oriented monitoring accuracy training. Findings revealed
that students in both treatment classes improved their calibration accuracy and showed higher confidence on test performance
than students in two comparison classes (N = 47, N = 26) after 2 weeks of instruction. However, students in the monitoring accuracy training class also showed significant gains
in overconfidence in comparison to those in the other three classes. Implications for integrating comprehension-monitoring
training at the elementary school level are discussed.

The doctoral advisor is said to be one of the most important persons—if not the single most critical person—with whom doctoral students will develop a relationship during their doctoral degree programs
(Baird 1995). However, we have limited knowledge regarding how doctoral advisors see their roles and responsibilities as advisors. Therefore,
through in-depth interviews, we explored the perceptions of 25 exemplary doctoral advisors, who have graduated a large number
of doctoral students, about their roles and responsibilities as advisors. We conclude this article with implications for doctoral
education.

The aim of the study was to elucidate the nature and efficiency of the strategies that readers with phonological dyslexia
use for temporary retention of written words in Working Memory (WM). Data was gathered through a paradigm whereby participants
had to identify serially presented written (target) words from within larger word pools according to their presentation order,
with word pools containing code-specific distracter (CSD) words and non-code-specific distracter (NCSD) words. Analyses focused
on three aspects of performance: (1) false recognition of target words; (2) correct recognition of target words; and (3) retention
of word presentation order. Participants were readers with diagnosed phonological dyslexia (n = 20, mean grade level = 9.05 [0.89]) and a control group of regular readers (n = 25, mean grade level = 9.00 [0.76]). Results provide direct evidence that the dyslexic readers and the regular readers
used essentially different memory coding strategies for the temporary retention of written words, with the former predominantly
relying on a visual strategy and the latter on a phonological strategy. Findings further pinpointed a notably impoverished
ability of the dyslexic readers to retain word presentation order. The implication of these findings is discussed in relation
to theories predicting the acquisition and mastery of reading.

In this response we address some of the significant issues that Tony Brown raised in his analysis and critique of the Special
Issue of Educational Studies in Mathematics on “Semiotic perspectives in mathematics education” (Sáenz-Ludlow & Presmeg, Educational Studies in Mathematics 61(1–2),
2006). Among these issues are conceptualizations of subjectivity and the notion that particular readings of Peircean and Vygotskian
semiotics may limit the ways that authors define key actors or elements in mathematics education, namely students, teachers
and the nature of mathematics. To deepen the conversation, we comment on Brown’s approach and explore the theoretical apparatus
of Jacques Lacan that informs Brown’s discourse. We show some of the intrinsic limitations of the Lacanian idea of subjectivity
that permeates Brown’s insightful analysis and conclude with a suggestion about some possible lines of research in mathematics
education.

This research study follows up on previous investigations of the ongoing curriculum reform in China and its repercussions
(actual and potential) on the effectiveness of the teacher evaluation process there (Liu & Teddlie, 2004, 2005). With the full implementation of the new curriculum reform throughout the country, teacher evaluation is becoming more and
more important in today’s China. Practitioners are exploring new methods for making practical reforms in teacher evaluation
in individual districts and schools. There are two sources of information for this article, which focuses on events that have
transpired in China beginning in 2004: a content analysis of academic sources related to teacher evaluation and interviews
conducted with Chinese teachers at different sites and grade levels. Six themes were derived from an analysis of the academic
sources. Interview results focus on issues such as (1) the utilization of student test scores in the evaluation of teachers
and (2) “teaching to the test.” The article ends with eight suggestions for improving practices currently associated with
teacher evaluation in China.

Reconstructed fairy tales provide a different point of view and challenge the assumptions of a common set of values; for that
reason, these stories provide a medium in which to examine power relationships in texts by applying a critical multicultural
analysis (Botelho & Rudman, forthcoming, 2008, A critical multicultural analysis of children’s literature: Mirrors, windows and doors. New York: Lawrence Erlbaum) to identify and analyze power relations of Rumpelstiltskin (Grimm & Grimm, 1812/1987, New York: Bantam) and Rumpelstiltskin’s Daughter (Stanley, 1997, New York: Morrow Junior Books). Specifically, this study examines how power is exercised on a continuum: domination, collusion,
resistance, and agency. Findings indicate that by identifying and questioning text ideologies, critical readers can consider
how texts maintain, counteract, or promote alternative systemic power structures.

This article reports on the development of a methodology that integrates virtual and hands-on inquiry in a freshman introductory
biology course. Using a two time × two order-condition design, an effective combination (blend) of the two environments was
evaluated with 39 freshman biology participants. The quantitative results documented no significant effect of presentation
order but demonstrated a significant effect of the combined learning experience. The qualitative results showed a strong preference
by students for the virtual work preceding the hands-on laboratory. The study provides practitioners an effective alternative
to traditional instructional practices by combining virtual and hands-on inquiry learning.

This paper argues that Amartya Sen’s (Development as freedom, New York: Random House, 1999) concept of “capabilities” provides a useful framework for interpreting the brokering of learning provisions that emerged
as a key feature of reforms to education and training in Queensland (Australia) for young people. Sen’s capability approach
is presented as a way of understanding the place of vocational learning in capability deprivation and enhancement. Methodologically,
this account comes from a case study of the reforms’ birthing and trial phases (2000–2006) (Harreveld and Singh 2007, Queensland’s education and training reforms for the future: the journey so far in senior phase learning. Brisbane, Qld: Department of Education, Training and the Arts). Evidence about the brokering of learning provision for young
people comes from Queensland’s youth support coordinators, community mentoring scheme, flexible learning services and a work
readiness program.

The American Civil War has been a popular topic for young-adult writers for years, with new books now being written from young
women’s perspectives. In this paper, I will examine the gender ideologies that infiltrate contemporary Civil War books for
young adults. I will examine four recent young-adult Civil-War novels: G. Clifton Wisler’s Mr. Lincoln’s Drummer (1995); Maureen Stack Sappéy’s Letters from Vinnie (1999); Jim Murphy’s The Journal of James Edmond Pease: A Civil War Union Soldier (1998); and Karen Hesse’s A Light in the Storm: The Civil War Diary of Amelia Martin (1999). I will argue that in these books young women are often shown to be disengaged and apolitical, while their male counterparts
use language in powerful and political ways, even despite the historical record.

Hong Kong has been actively promoting a student-centered approach to teaching since the 1980s. Despite this effort, students
in Hong Kong still tend to be traditional learners who rarely experience and gain from real student-centered learning. While
teachers hold a “quantitative” concept of learning and focus on transmitting declarative knowledge to students (Biggs and
Watkins, Classroom learning: Educational psychology for the Asian teacher, 1995), students generally practise “rote learning.” Constructive learning models such as inquiry remain little used by students
in most Hong Kong classrooms. This article reports a study that examines the feasibility of implementing inquiry method in
Kong Kong’s primary classrooms. It analyses the implementation and some outcomes of an inquiry-based project conducted in
two local primary schools—a traditional elite Catholic school and a progressive, less-privileged school. Finally, it discusses
the contextual factors as well as cultural issues on teachers’ perception and implementation of inquiry in teaching. These
factors include the following: impacts of prevailing ideology in the community of Hong Kong, and the top-down policy-making
and management by the government.

Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional approach in which students in small groups engage in an authentic, ill-structured
problem, and must (1) define, generate and pursue learning issues to understand the problem, (2) develop a possible solution,
(3) provide evidence to support their solution, and (4) present their solution and the evidence that supports it (Barrows,
How to design a problem-based curriculum for the preclinical years. Springer Publishing, New York, 1985). However, research has shown that novice problem-solvers and learners without deep content knowledge have difficulty developing
strong evidence-based arguments (Krajcik et al., J Learn Sci 7:313–350, 1998a; Reiser, J Lear Sci 13(3):273–304, 2004). In this paper, we discuss the components of (e.g., claims and evidence) and processes of making (e.g., define problem and
make claim) evidence-based arguments. Furthermore, we review various scaffolding models designed to help students perform
various tasks associated with creating evidence-based arguments (e.g., link claims to evidence) and present guidelines for
the development of computer-based scaffolds to help middle school students build evidence-based arguments.

The first author, a student in a graduate children’s literature class, designed a project to locate “good” mathematics-based
children’s literature selections. However, the reference tools usually consulted (e.g., Books in Print) to locate books by topic were of little help, and those she located under individual mathematics topics were mostly traditional
mathematics books rather than good read-aloud selections. Consequently, she perused the university library’s sizeable juvenile
collection to find books that would meet her selection criteria. This article describes the influence of two landmark documents
for mathematics teaching and learning—Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], 1989) and Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000)—as she engaged in the process.

Shulman (1986, 1987) coined the term pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) to address what at that time had become increasingly evident—that content knowledge itself was not sufficient for teachers
to be successful. Throughout the past two decades, researchers within the field of mathematics teacher education have been
expanding the notion of PCK and developing more fine-grained conceptualizations of this knowledge for teaching mathematics.
One such conceptualization that shows promise is mathematical knowledge for teaching—mathematical knowledge that is specifically useful in teaching mathematics. While mathematical knowledge for teaching has
started to gain attention as an important concept in the mathematics teacher education research community, there is limited
understanding of what it is, how one might recognize it, and how it might develop in the minds of teachers. In this article,
we propose a framework for studying the development of mathematical knowledge for teaching that is grounded in research in
both mathematics education and the learning sciences.

A recent survey of studies [Tenopir, Hitchcock, & Pillow (2003). Use and users of electronic library resources: An overview and analysis of recent research studies. Washington, DC: Council on Library and Information Resources.] concluded “both faculty and students use and like electronic resources and most readily adopt them if the sources are perceived as convenient, relevant, and time saving to their natural workflow” (p. iv). However, the results of access studies show that actual use of online content is relatively low. This is because navigation to the online content in these various collections is not convenient, requires multiple steps in order to reach relevant content, and is not integrated into a student's natural workflow. In our research, we have designed, implemented, deployed, and evaluated a method for making content available to students that targets the content to their current need.

Educational research has shown that individual-level background characteristics, such as parental socio-economic status and
academic ability, influence college going behavior. This study tests for the existence of aggregate-level high school effects
on college enrollment, persistence and degree attainment. It links institutional data on students enrolling within a year
after graduation from in-state high schools with state data on high schools’ performance and populations. Three high school
aggregate-level factors were found to affect enrollment and persistence. Specifically, the high schools’ percent of SAT takers
has a concave-shape effect on enrollment, retention and graduation. Additionally, students coming from schools with a higher
percent of those receiving free lunch are less likely to persist, and students coming from schools located within a 60 mile
radius are more likely to matriculate and to persist to the second year. These results suggest that aggregate-level high school
characteristics should be accounted for in enrollment management.

An explicit and reflective approach to the use of history to promote understanding of the nature of science 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Monk and Osborne (Sci Educ 81:405–424, 1997) provide a rigorous justification for why history and philosophy of science should be incorporated as an integral component
of instruction and a model for how history of science should be used to promote learning of and about science. In the following
essay we critique how history of science is used on this model, and in particular, their advocacy of a direct comparison of
students’ conceptions of scientific phenomena with those of past scientists. We propose instead an alternative approach that
promotes a more active engagement by inviting students to engage in the sort of reasoning that led past scientists to reach
insights about scientific phenomena. As an example we describe in detail two lesson plans taken from an eight-class unit developed
with reference to the history of research on sickle-cell anemia. These lessons demonstrate how an open-ended, problem-solving
approach can be used to help students deepen their understanding of science. Throughout the unit students are invited to explicitly and reflectively consider the implications of their reasoning about the disease for their understanding of nature of science issues. The essay
draws attention to how this alternative approach actually more closely aligns with the constructivist rationale Monk and Osborne
have articulated. It concludes with a brief summary of empirical research demonstrating the efficacy of this approach.

This experimental study was designed to investigate whether supervision meetings, in which students receive specific advice
on how to use a development portfolio to monitor their progress and plan their future learning, helps them to develop self-directed
learning skills and improve their learning in the domain. In the first year of a hairdressing program in vocational education,
supervision meetings were used to provide students with either specific advice or not. Students in the advice group (n = 21) formulated better learning needs, selected more suitable learning tasks, completed more practical assignments, and
acquired more certificates than students in the feedback-only group (n = 22). Interviews also showed that students in the advice group appreciated the supervision meeting more and perceived them
as more effective than students in the feedback-only group. Guidelines are provided for the use of development portfolios
and the organization of supervision meetings in on-demand vocational education.

Instruction on problem solving in particular domains typically relies on explanations from experts about their strategies.
However, research indicates that such self-reports often are incomplete or inaccurate (e.g., Chao & Salvendy, 1994; Cooke & Breedin, 1994). This article evaluates research on experts’ cognition, the accuracy of experts’ self-reports, and the efficacy of instruction
based on experts’ self-reports. Analysis of this evidence indicates that experts’ free recall of strategies introduces errors
and omissions into instructional materials that hinder student success. In contrast, when experts engage in structured knowledge
elicitation techniques (e.g., cognitive task analysis), the resultant instruction is more effective. Based on these findings,
the article provides a theoretical explanation of experts’ self-report errors and discusses implications for the continued
improvement of instructional design processes.

Despite scholars’ praise of liberal arts education as a model form, very little research has examined the actual impact of
liberal arts education on learning outcomes. The elaborate rhetoric and anecdotal support, long used to advance liberal arts
education as the premier type of education with value for all, is no longer sufficient. The practices and conditions that
lead to outcomes of a liberally educated student remain an empirical black box. Guided by the work of Pascarella et al. [2005, Liberal arts colleges and liberal arts education: New evidence on impacts. ASHE Higher Education Report, 31(3)], this study examined the extent to which an institutional ethos, that values student–student
and student–faculty interaction within a supportive environment characterized by high expectations for developing the intellectual
arts, manifests in the lived experiences of students and predicts the development of outcomes theoretically associated with
the liberal arts. Specifically, we investigated the construct and predictive validity of the liberal arts experience scale
relative to liberal arts outcomes. Using data from the first phase of the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education,
net of student background characteristics and institution attended, we found liberal arts experiences had a positive effect
on four of six liberal arts outcomes, including intercultural effectiveness, inclination to inquire and lifelong learning,
well-being, and leadership.
