Professor Lesley Parker’s career has moved from teaching and advising graduate students at Curtin University of Technology,
Perth, Western Australia to leadership roles and advocacy positions in state and national governments and in international
organizations. Throughout her distinguished career, she has been committed to social justice, particularly in gender equity.
Indeed, that commitment infuses her professional contributions as teacher, advisor, administrator, and policy maker. In this
Key Contribution, many of her colleagues describe their admiration for her as well as provide information that helps the reader
place her work in a national and an international perspective. She has received many of Australia’s highest honors, and she
continues to contribute to her university, her state, and her nation. Her contributions form a lasting legacy in social justice,
particularly in gender equity and in educational leadership. 相似文献

One of the most important topics on the international agenda in educational research is to gain an understanding of the processes
of educational change in teachers and of the factors that favour or hinder it. Such understanding is, for instance, an essential
element in planning and putting into practice initial and ongoing teacher education programs. This article reviews the research
on science teachers’ educational change. To organize the information, an analogy is made with the process of scientific change,
analyzing and evaluating the contributions of the different models taken from the philosophy of science – positivism, Popper’s
principle of falsifiability, Lakatos’ scientific research programs, Laudan’s research traditions, Toulmin’s evolutionism,
and Kuhn’s relativism. We conclude the article with the implications for science teacher education. 相似文献

Using multiple theoretical frameworks, reflective writings and interviews, this study explores preservice elementary teachers’
emerging identities as science teachers and how this identity is connected to notions of critical agency and a stance toward
social justice. The study addresses two central questions pertaining to preservice teachers’ conceptions as “agents of change”
and how their perceptions as change agents frame their science teacher identities and understanding of teaching science in
urban elementary classrooms. Their identity in the moment as elementary preservice teachers—not yet teachers—influences how
they view themselves as teachers and how much agency or power they feel they have as agents of change in science classrooms.
Findings suggest that science teacher education must play a more immediate, fundamental and emancipatory role in preparing
preservice teachers in developing science teacher identities and a stance toward social justice. 相似文献

The paper by White in this issue of Interchange contains an interesting model for a global educational perspective based on
the writings of Aurobindo and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. White proposes a foundation for this new perspective based on the
synthesis of Aurobindo’s and de Chardin’s theories of global, social, and conscious evolution. In our response we critique
the author’s proposal from the perspective of the current challenges to social justice within the educational community. In
particular the writings of Charles Darwin, Paolo Freire, Karl Marx, and Vivekananda (Aurobindo’s peer) are examined to present
evolutionary and philosophical viewpoints on the origins and causes of inequity. We contend that no global multicultural perspective
on education is possible unless we first address the fundamental inequities present within the socio-economic and educational
structures that characterize the world today. Thus any attempt to introduce a “global educational agenda” within an educational
institutional structure is bound to be problematic. 相似文献

Collaboration and contrived collegiality: Revisiting Hargreaves in the age of accountability 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Amanda Datnow 《Journal of Educational Change》2011,12(2):147-158
Andy Hargreaves is internationally renowned for his work on many topics related to educational change. His work on how educational
change shapes teachers’ work, particularly with respect to teacher collaboration, is well exemplified in his award-winning
1994 volume, Changing Teachers, Changing Times: Teachers’ Work and Culture in the Postmodern Age. In this volume, he taught us the important difference between collaborative cultures and contrived collegiality. This article
will bring Hargreaves’ ideas about teacher collaboration to bear as I investigate a current educational reform movement: data-driven
decision making. I describe how two school systems integrated teacher collaboration as an important feature of their movements
towards using data, and I explain the consequences of their efforts. I close by raising critical issues for educators and
researchers to address as we consider the role of teacher collaboration in the age of accountability. 相似文献

Throughout his career, Andy Hargreaves has continuously pushed the boundaries of knowledge and practice in the field of educational
change. He has broken new ground so often that I have come to think of him as a “frontier man.” Andy has also been a generous
mentor to colleagues and students enhancing the level of scholarship and expertise in his field. His pioneering work around
the culture of teaching and school change has resulted in brilliant treatises that have prompted reflection and action among
educators over the years. In this tribute, I reflect on Andy’s work over the 25 years that I have known and collaborated with
him as a friend and colleague highlighting his contributions to the field of educational change as a researcher, writer, teacher,
and a highly respected consultant. 相似文献

Lundqvist, Almqvist and ?stman describe a teacher’s manner of teaching and the possible consequences it may have for students’
meaning making. In doing this the article examines a teacher’s classroom practice by systematizing the teacher’s transactions
with the students in terms of certain conceptual schemes, namely the epistemological moves, educational philosophies and the selective traditions of this practice. In connection to their study one may ask how conceptual schemes could change teaching. This article examines
how the relationship of the conceptual schemes produced by educational researchers to educational praxis has developed from
the middle of the last century to today. The relationship is described as having been transformed in three steps: (1) teacher
deficit and social engineering, where conceptual schemes are little acknowledged, (2) reflecting practitioners, where conceptual
schemes are mangled through teacher practice to aid the choices of already knowledgeable teachers, and (3) the mangling of
the conceptual schemes by researchers through practice with the purpose of revising theory. 相似文献

In recent years, leaders in the school counseling profession worldwide have been calling on their colleagues to re-examine
their role as “agents of social justice” in schools, with a view to promoting equal educational opportunities for all students.
This research examines counselors’ perceptions of the role, role behaviors, personal justice sensitivity, the school’s justice sensitivity and the interrelations among these variables. Two hundred and six Israeli school counselors responded to a questionnaire.
Findings show that the majority of counselors perceived their role as promoting social justice, and indeed engaged in activities
meant to increase disadvantaged students’ chances of success. The variable of role perception was found to mediate between personal sensitivity to justice (justice sensitivity) and counselors’ actual behaviors. These findings have theoretical and practical implications for the professional socialization
of counselors as agents of social justice. 相似文献

In this article, I discuss two areas of Andy Hargreaves’ scholarship, teachers’ identity and biography and the three periods
of educational change spanning the 1960s to 1990s, that have influenced my work as a teacher educator and researcher. I describe
research projects, including self-studies, in which I have examined the influence of teachers’ identities and biographies
on their beliefs and practices of responding to student diversity. I also explore how the topic of teachers’ identity and
biography are integrated into the courses I teach. Additionally, I describe how I have related the three periods of educational
change—a period of optimism and innovation, a period of complexity and contradiction, and a period of marketization and standardization,
along with the monocultural restoration—to corresponding policies and practices of responding to student diversity in the
US and Ontario, Canada. Finally, I discuss a current project in which Andy and I are exploring core issues related to educational
leadership and diversity. 相似文献

In this paper, I explore the experiences of fourth and fifth grade students engaged in Beyond Today, an urban after school
program, that aimed to enact a social reconstructionist multicultural curriculum. The program gathered White, Black, and Latino/a
youth to explore issues of discrimination and social justice and develop leadership towards social change. This paper focuses
on the complex nature of students’ responses to a multicultural curriculum that foregrounded conversations about race and
inequity. Students were seen to build ties of friendship across racial lines and develop activist skills of social critique.
On other occasions, they maintained borders, distancing themselves from students of different races. After an overall review
of the students’ varied reactions to the Beyond Today curriculum, I highlight specific vignettes that show how these tensions
can simultaneously emerge within particular incidents. This research can be of use to teachers and teacher educators when
envisioning and planning for student responses to multicultural curriculum. 相似文献

This qualitative study examined the development of bilingual and bicultural preservice teachers’ beliefs and attitudes about
social justice and its role in the education of language minority children. Fraser’s in Redistribution or recognition: a political-philosophical
exchange. Verso, New York, (2003) perspectival dualist framework, which calls for the consideration of both the distribution of resources and the recognition
of cultural identity, was applied to the investigation of participants’ social justice claims. In addition to observing these
preservice teachers in their courses and conducting interviews, the researchers also analyzed the teaching practices of their
bilingual-bicultural professors. Findings indicate that bilingual teacher candidates need to have space and support for reflecting
upon the conflicting meanings they might ascribe to experiences and insights gained through the occupation of different identity
positions. Bilingual-bicultural university professors’ ability to recognize and legitimate the experiences and perspectives
of bilingual/bicultural teacher candidates was significant and empowering. 相似文献

Michael Fullan in 1991 made the comment that little was known about how students viewed educational change, as no one had
thought to ask them. There is a small but growing literature seeking the views of students on a range of issues associated
with schooling. This paper reports the findings of a study of students’ perceptions of top–down educational change, involving
school amalgamations, closures and creation of middle schools. The policy process was purportedly to involve consultation
with students. The study interviewed students to explore the nature and extent of their participation in the policy enactment
and their views about the changes. Several meta level themes emerged from the students’ ‘voices,’ including issues associated
with disempowerment, and competing social justice and economic discourses. The findings foreground the often messy and contradictory
tensions evident in policy processes. The study found that despite the policy intent to include students, they continued to
be the ‘objects’ of policy initiatives, submerged in what Freire labelled a ‘culture of silence.’ It was the macro level policy
elite who exerted the most influence, using their power, privilege and status to propagate particular versions of schooling.
The paper concludes that students are deeply impacted by educational change and they want to participate in restructuring
agendas. Therefore policy makers at all levels need to make spaces for the active engagement of students in policy processes. 相似文献

In this article, I offer a case of the predicaments I encountered in conducting teacher education research at my own institution and re‐examine these predicaments using an ethic of mindfulness and compassion. I explore how this Buddhist perspective might help researchers navigate what can be a lonely, ethically complicated research journey among their own colleagues. Based on this analysis, I propose that an ethic of mindfulness and compassion holds potential for guiding teacher education research and challenging researchers to see differently. I argue that conducting teacher education research using the lenses of mindfulness and compassion might propel social change aimed at increasing educational and social opportunity for all people and, in doing so, further the hope for justice in our relationships, teaching, and research. 相似文献

This paper explores the possibilities of working with White, working-class teacher education students to explore the “complex
social trajectory” (Reay in Women’s Stud Int Forum 20(2):225–233, 1997a, p. 19) of class border crossing as they progress through college. Through analysis of a course that I have developed, Education and the American Dream, I explore political and pedagogical issues in teaching the thousands of teacher education students who are the first in
their families to attend college about social class. Arguing that faculty in teacher education too often disregard the significance
of deep class differences between themselves and many of their students, I propose that teacher education include coursework
in which upwardly-mobile students (a) draw upon their distinctive perspectives as class border-crossers to elucidate their
“complex social positioning as a complicated amalgam of current privilege interlaced with historic disadvantage” (Reay in
Women’s Stud Int Forum 20(2):225–233, 1997a, p. 25) and (b) complicate what Adair and Dahlberg (Pedagogy 1:173–175, 2001, p. 174) have termed a cultural “impulse to frame class mobility as a narrative of moral progress”. Such coursework, I suggest,
has implications for the development of teacher leaders in stratified schools. The paper draws upon the literatures on social
class and educational attainment, on the construction of classed identities in spite of silence about class in public and
academic discourse, and on pedagogies for teaching across class differences. 相似文献

In the past 15 years, numerous reforms and initiatives in many countries in the Asia-Pacific region have aimed to change education
and promote new learning to prepare the new generation for the future. Unfortunately, despite good intentions and huge investments
of resources, many of these reforms have been found to be ineffective and unsustainable—if they succeed at all. Reflecting
on the trends and waves of educational reform in the Asia-Pacific region, this paper introduces an international lesson on
the emerging syndrome of educational reform across the region and illustrates its negative impacts on teacher ecology and
teacher management. Then, the paper outlines the implications of this lesson and of a study of the world’s best-performing
educational systems, using them to develop a holistic approach to managing teachers and planning for their sustainable professional
development. Finally, it highlights the paradigm shifts in teacher management, reviewing the three waves of educational reform
in the last two decades, and draws further implications for formulating teacher management policies in ongoing and future
educational reforms to support students’ new learning and sustainable development. 相似文献

The purpose of this article is to examine how and to what extent schools’ responses to accountability policies in the United
States influence the ability of new teachers of color to draw on their own and their students’ cultural resources to engage
in culturally responsive teaching. A 5-year study of 17 new teachers of color reveals that these teachers identified three
principal tensions which correspond to the three dimensions of culturally responsive teaching: (a) cultural and linguistic
relevance versus standardization, (b) community of learners versus teacher transmission, and (c) social justice versus enhanced
test scores. The teachers also described two mechanisms by which accountability-based programs and policies were enforced:
fear of monitoring and internalizing the link between testing and educational opportunity. We applied the metaphor of “double
bind” to explain the tensions and enforcement mechanisms encountered by these teachers. The “double bind” forced the new teachers
of color to enact contradictory systemic demands promoted by government policy and the teaching profession and exacted an
individual toll. We conclude with implications for policy, practice, and research. 相似文献

In 2003 the Ethiopian education system experienced wide-ranging reform that touches every aspect of the system. This reform
is called TESO (Teacher Education System Overhaul). Designed to address educational problems in Ethiopia, TESO introduced
significant structural changes and promised to bring a ‘paradigm shift’ in the Ethiopian educational system by engaging teacher
education in changing society and promoting democratic, practical, and problem-solving education. This paper examines, through
an analysis of the TESO document and an examination of the views of teacher educators, TESO’s assumptions, mission and the
coherence among the various components of TESO. It also reveals gaps and discrepancies between TESO’s mission, its reform
process, and strategies. The promise and assumptions of TESO are challenged by considering extant realities in Ethiopian schools
and evidence from literature on effective teacher education programs and educational reform. The paper reflects on how, by
giving priority to equity, TESO compromises on some elements of effective teacher education programs. It is indicated that
TESO has been a welcome addition to the Ethiopian education system as it addresses elements that had previously been missing
from the system, such as, outlining directions to teacher education, devoting longer duration for practicum, and heeding seriously
to the professional preparation of teachers. At the same time, it is contended that the imbalance among program components,
its permeability to ill-prepared students and the contradiction between program rhetoric and strategy and reform processes,
as described by teacher educators, could be stumbling blocks which prevent TESO from fulfilling its promises. 相似文献

How teachers “care” for students is a well-established line of inquiry in educational research, but the ways such “care” may
function as symbolic violence have received scant attention. In this ethnographic investigation of classroom disciplinary
interactions, the characteristics and functions of preservice teachers’ care discourses are examined. By translating deficit
discourses into expressions of praise for students’ nonacademic talents, the participants’ rhetoric of care effectively shifts
blame for failure from teacher to student. The preservice teachers’ expressions of care also function to veil the power being
produced in such rhetoric, to frame the teacher as victim when said care is rejected, and to reverse the carer/cared-for dynamic
when teachers’ attempts to inspire academic progress are unsuccessful. Implications for teacher education and teacher development
are provided as are suggestions for how to recognize and implement more authentic forms of care. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine: (a) the role of teacher talk in promoting peer interaction, (b) the adequacy of
social IEP objectives to reflect children’s social functioning and guide provision of teacher talk, and (c) differences in
children’s peer interaction and teacher talk in inclusive and segregated settings. Thirty children with disabilities and their
teachers participated. Overall, we observed low rates of teacher talk thought to support peer interaction; however, when teachers
verbally facilitated peer interaction, children were observed interacting more frequently with peers. Children’s social IEPs
accurately reflected their current level of social functioning. However, the social IEPs appeared to fail to influence teacher
intervention. Finally, children with disabilities in inclusive settings interacted with peers more than children in segregated
settings, even though there was no significant difference in amount of teacher talk in the two settings. 相似文献
