Research on teacher identities is both important and increasing. In this forum contribution I re-interpret assertions about
an African American science teacher’s identities in terms of Jonathon Turner’s (2002) constructs of role identity and sub-identity. I contest the notion of renegotiation of identities, suggesting that particular
role identities can be brought to the foreground and then backgrounded depending on the situation and the need to confirm
a sub-identity. Finally, I recommend the inclusion of teachers’ voices in identity research through greater use of co-authoring
roles for teachers.

This article explores how incarcerated youth and adult supervisors contest claims to identity via language of “representing”.
Comparing how youth and adults “represent” in discussions of their own past and future selves sheds light on the constrained
universe of discourse within which both groups work to express identities and on the basis of which we counsel, mentor, and
educate young people. Acknowledging these constraints can contribute to understanding what I call exceptionalism—the idea that only exceptional poor and raced young men, through great personal effort and sacrifice, may resist the lure
of the “street”. I conclude by discussing implications of this work for education and youth development work both inside and
beyond the juvenile justice system as well as for research across lines of difference by committed “outsiders”.

Ecofutures in Africa: Jenny Robson’s Savannah 2116 AD 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Elsie Cloete 《Children‘s Literature in Education》2009,40(1):46-58
Jenny Robson’s Savannah 2216 AD, a dark, futuristic novel for young adults, provides a strong critique on much of the world’s predilection for saving Africa’s
animals at the expense of those human communities who are perceived to be in the way of the preservation of the continent’s
remaining wild spaces. Using Robson’s novel as template, this article examines a few of those discourses regarding wilderness
and conservation that have attached to Africa. Savannah 2116 AD strongly yet indirectly hints that literary educators should revisit the often unquestioned adoption of ‘greening’ agendas
in school curricula which persist in re-colonising geo-political spaces by ignoring the fact that erecting fences between
perceived conservators and destroyers, between spaces for wild animals and humans, merely condemns Africa’s animal riches
to eventual death.

Today’s media is filled with stories of man’s inhumanity toward man. Education journals are replete with assessments of educators
as failing to meet the demands of the modern world. Jansen offers stories of hope to counterbalance the bombardment of negative
stories. His research “explores the character of leadership in transition societies”. He draws portraits of three educators,
in leadership roles, whose lives provide a moment for us to catch our breath and remember that leaders have choices about
how they will live out their roles in ways that are grounded in social justice

Members of particular communities produce and reproduce cultural practices. This is an important consideration for those teacher
educators who need to prepare appropriate learning experiences and programs for scientists, as they attempt to change careers
to science teaching. We know little about the transition of career-changing scientists as they encounter different contexts
and professional cultures, and how their changing identities might impact on their teaching practices. In this narrative inquiry
of the stories told by and shared between career-changing scientists in a teacher-preparation program, we identify cover stories
of science and teaching. More importantly, we show how uncovering these stories became opportunities for one of these scientists
to learn about what sorts of stories of science she tells or should tell in science classrooms and how these stories might
impact on her identities as a scientist–teacher in transition. We highlight self-identified contradictions and treat these
as resources for further professional learning. Suggestions for improving the teacher-education experiences of scientist–teachers
are made. In particular, teacher educators might consider the merits of creating opportunities for career-changing scientists
to share their stories and for these stories to be retold for different audiences.

Participatory Action Research (PAR) and its many variants are rapidly gaining prominence as viable research tools and methodological
alternatives to address histories of exploitation, surveillance, and social exclusion, deeply embedded in mainstream research.
However, it is at this transgressive intersection of theory, action, expertise, power, and justice that a host of new challenges
to the conduct of research in collaboration with and not just on, or for subordinated people, emerges. This article attempts to intimately describe the challenges of using PAR methods to revise
Paulo Freire’s notion of critical consciousness in the context of a parent organizing group and a youth research project,
while taking seriously the speed bumps, multiple subjectivities, implicit racism, sexism, classism, and politics of knowledge
production that are too often obscured behind published academic writing.

This paper provides another way to gaze upon Brad’s story as presented by van Eijck and Roth (2010). It raises questions about
infrastructural racism in contemporary science education by exploring its association with Whiteness and White privilege.
To explore the racial positioning inherent in Western science education specific attention is given to the positions of power
that accompany Western ways of knowing the world (i.e., science education) in comparison to Other ways of knowing the world
(i.e., First Nations Ways of Knowing). The paper suggests the power relationships inherent within this dualism are asymmetrical
due to the implications of Whiteness within colonial societies. Even though power relations were not discussed in Brad’s story,
the paper suggests the implications were visible. The paper concludes by advocating for a re-imagining in science education
where the traditional ontological and epistemological foundations are deconstructed and spaces are created for enacting practical
ways of resisting oppression.
Alison Sammel received her doctorate in 2005 for a study that used critical theory and feminist poststructuralism to analyze how five science teachers believed they incorporated critical forms of pedagogy in their high school science classrooms. Intrigued by the social construction of the ‘Western science teacher’ she continues to explore the teaching and learning of Science through the lens of feminist poststructuralism. Alison currently teaches at the School of Education and Professional Studies at Griffith University on the Gold Coast and researches in the fields of Science and Anti-oppressive pedagogies. 相似文献

The article explores the role of immigrant parents in middle school science as both teachers and learners as part of an urban
middle school curriculum, the Linking in Food and the Environment (LiFE) program. The curriculum engaged parents as partners
with science teachers to teach science through food. Over a 2-year period, parents attended a series of bilingual workshops,
collaborated with classroom teachers, managed activities, guided student inquiry, and assisted in classroom management. The
following study analyzes the role of culture, language, and identity as four mothers navigated their position as ‘insiders’
in a science classroom.

Accessing resources for identity development by urban students and teachers: foregrounding context 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
April Lynn Luehmann 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2009,4(1):51-66
Many attempt to address the documented achievement gap between urban and suburban students by offering special programs to
enrich urban students’ academic experiences and proficiencies. Such was the case in the study described by DeGennaro and Brown
in which urban students participated in an after-school technology course intended to address the “digital divide” by giving
these youth supported experiences as technology users. However, also like the initial situation described in this study, instructional
design that does not capitalize on what we know about urban education or informal learning contexts can actually further damage
urban youths’ identities as learners by positioning them as powerless and passive recipients instead of meaningful contributors
to their own learning. The analysis presented in this forum is intended to further the conversation begun by DeGennaro and
Brown by explicitly complexifying our consideration of context (activity structures and setting) so as to support the development
of contexts that afford rich learning potential for both the urban students and their learning facilitators, positioned in
the role of teachers. Carefully constructed contexts can afford participants as learners (urban students and teachers) opportunities to access rich identity resources (not typically available in traditional school contexts) including,
but not limited to, the opportunity to exercise agency that allows participants to reorganize their learning context and enacted
culture as needed.

In this article I explore research in urban science education inspired by the work of Kris Gutierrez in a paper based on her
2005 Scribner Award. It addresses key points in Gutierrez’s work by exploring theoretical frameworks for research and approaches
to teaching and research that expand the discourse on the agency of urban youth in corporate school settings. The work serves
as an overview of under-discussed approaches and theoretical frameworks to consider in teaching and conducting research with
marginalized urban youth in urban science classrooms.

The 18 preschool teachers in the study tended to agree that preschool education for 4-year-olds should foremost be fun and engaging, not stressful. Teachers should develop curricula based on children’s interests and everyday lives, and allow children to choose their activities and to direct their own play and exploration at their own pace. The goal of preschool education should be to promote children’s social, emotional, and physical well-being, and not focus so much on academic learning.

In this article, themost relevant literature on cognitive aging and instructional design is merged to formulate recommendations for designing computer-based training material aimed at elderly learners. The core message is that researchers and instructional designers do not need to develop special computerized instruction for older adults. Rather, existing principles of general instructional and multimedia design can be evaluated and used to accommodate the needs of elderly learners. Particular attention is given to John Sweller’s Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) and Richard Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML). It is argued that these instructional theories bear important benefits for older learners because they support an efficient use of available cognitive resources. New research directions are suggested to test the implications of these theories for learning in old age.

This paper is based upon a unique mixed methods 4-year research project which focused upon the variations in teachers’ work,
lives, and effectiveness of 300 elementary and secondary school teachers in a range of 100 schools across seven regions of
England. Its findings challenge linear conceptions of teacher development and expertise and provide new understandings of
the effects of personal, school and broader policy contexts upon professional life phase trajectories and teachers’ emotional
identities. It finds connections between these and teachers’ commitment, resilience, and effectiveness. This paper discusses
these in relation to the school standards and teacher retention agendas.

Learning from Learning Kits: gStudy Traces of Students’ Self-Regulated Engagements with Computerized Content 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Researching self-regulated learning (SRL) as a process that evolves across multiple episodes of studying poses large methodological challenges. While self-report data provide useful information about learners’ perceptions of learning, these data are not reliable indicators of studying tactics learners actually use while studying, especially when learners are young children. We argue that self-reports about SRL need to be augmented by fine-grained traces that are records of learners’ actual activities as they study. We describe how gStudy software unobtrusively collects detailed trace data about learners’ use of study tactics as they engage with content presented in learning kits—collections of documents (e.g., texts, graphics, video clips) and tasks (e.g., notes, concept maps) on which learners operate to study. We suggest that trace data can advance research about how learners select, monitor, assemble, rehearse, and translate information to learn it, and provide raw materials for mapping SRL and its effects. Examples from the Life Cycles Learning Kit that supports grade 1 students learning about the life cycles of humans and frogs are given.

This exploratory study examines the learning beliefs of high and low achieving, low-income Mexican-American students. Semi-structured
interviews were conducted with 11 ninth grade students. The qualitative analysis shows that students’ perceptions of their
teachers’ expectations of a “good” student or a “not so good” student did not differ along achievement lines. However, the
students’ perceptions about what it means to be a good student differentiated the low-achievers from the high-achievers. This
study’s findings may be used to inform educators about Mexican-American students’ orientation towards school and learning,
in hopes for creating more equitable educational settings where all students achieve to their fullest potential.

It is generally perceived that Chinese elementary teachers have a profound understanding of the school mathematics they teach.
This perception has led to further interest in understanding teacher education practices in China. As some dramatic changes
in elementary teacher preparation have taken place in China over the past decade, this article aims to outline these changes
with a focus on curriculum provided in the new 4-year bachelor preparation programs. Sample mathematics teacher educators
in China were also surveyed to gather insiders’ views about teacher preparation practices and to identify relevant issues.
We believe that elementary teacher preparation and its changes in China can provide an important case for mathematics teacher
educators around the world to reflect on teacher education practices in their own systems.

Few pieces of GLBTQ fiction have received the popular and scholarly acclaim awarded to Alex Sanchez’s Rainbow Boys series. Although “problem novels” are rarely taken seriously as literature, the books—the first novel in particular—have
joined the few pieces of GLBTQ literature incorporated into educational discourse and curriculum. In this article, the author
suggests that although the positive nature and surface construction appeals to those seeking “affirmative” representations
of GLBTQ youth, the contributions made by the series may be overshadowed by its reliance on heteronormative gender stereotypes
that may actually work to perpetuate homophobic attitudes toward gay sexuality.

Language in Science Education as a Gatekeeper to Learning,Teaching, and Professional Development 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Felicia M. Moore 《Journal of Science Teacher Education》2007,18(2):319-343
In this study, I used a feminist poststructural perspective to explain how language is a gatekeeper in learning science, in
achieving professional honors in teaching science, and in teaching science to English language learners. The various uses
of language revealed interesting dynamics related to the culture of power of language and the culture of power of science
along race–ethnicity, gender, and class dimensions for teachers. Teachers did not necessarily see language as having distinct
purposes and uses. This further maintained the gatekeeping nature of language and discourse in science education. I discuss
implications for looking at language in science education for teacher professional development and student learning.

This article compares the first-person narratives of two adolescent girls in the novels The Rain Catchers and The House on Mango Street. I propose that adolescent girls can use literacy to read the world around them as a text and therefore help them to form
their own identities enough to ultimately find authority in telling their own stories. I use Judith Langer’s theory of envisionment-building
as a primary lens through which to interpret the girls’ narrative work and further elucidate the feminist aspects involved
through Belenky et al.’s famous work, Women’s Ways of Knowing.
