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 highlights the transformative contributions of Mary Monroe Atwater to the field of science education. Influenced
by worldviews shaped by a segregated macro-society and the privileges of a micro-society, Mary stood against oppression in
the early years of her academic career by desegregating academic settings and being the first and only African American in
varied arenas for many years. As an aspiring academic, Mary challenged dominant paradigms and as an activist academic, she
changed the landscape of science education. She broadened the knowledge base through scholarship and praxis and diversified
the science education community through personal and professional efforts that were pioneering in nature.
Eileen Carlton Parsons is an assistant professor at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The contexts in which the science teaching and learning of African Americans occur constitute the core of her research interests. She examines the educative process with respect to culture and race. 相似文献

This article examines Mary Budd Rowe’s groundbreaking and far-reaching contributions to science education. Rowe is best known
for her research on wait-time: the idea that teachers can improve the quality and length of classroom discussions by waiting
at least 3 s before and after student responses. Her wait-time research grew from and helped inform her staunch advocacy of
science education as inquiry; Rowe saw wonder and excitement as central to the teaching and learning of science. She spent
much of her professional life designing professional development experiences and innovative curriculum materials to help teachers,
particularly elementary school teachers, enact inquiry in their classrooms.

In this rejoinder to Bryan Brown and John Reveles, we highlight the facts that (a) sociocultural theories of learning do not
go far enough because they fail to address a number of issues and (b) we require concepts such as power and positionality
to understand science learning.

This study reports a subset of findings from a larger, ongoing study aimed at exploring interactions between teacher identity,
learning, and classroom practices in a social justice teacher education program at a selective liberal arts college in New
York. This case-study explores the journey of Elena, as an immigrant, a student, and a pre-service teacher candidate towards
becoming a social justice educator. Elena reflects upon her school language experiences as an immigrant youth, her learning
in a social justice teacher education program, and her field experiences in an international high school. The analysis spans
macro-, meso-, and microlevels to explore the ways globalization, particularly immigration, as well as schooling policies
for English language learners interact with aspects of Elena’s core identity, particularly in school settings. The findings
show some of the ways language and literacy verified and/or denied aspects of Elena’s core identity; specific instances where
second language proficiency was cast as power and privilege versus disadvantage according to ethnic, language, and class categorizations;
and the struggles Elena, and other immigrant youth may face given the focus on English language acquisition and high stakes
accountability in schools, at the expense of students’ primary language proficiency and affirmation of core identity markers.

Nondeterminism is a fundamental concept in computer science that appears in various contexts such as automata theory, algorithms
and concurrent computation. We present a taxonomy of the different ways that nondeterminism can be defined and used; the categories
of the taxonomy are domain, nature, implementation, consistency, execution and semantics. An historical survey shows how the
concept was developed from its inception by Rabin & Scott, Floyd and Dijkstra, as well as the interplay between nondeterminism
and concurrency. Computer science textbooks and pedagogical software are surveyed to determine how they present the concept;
the results show that the treatment of nondeterminism is generally fragmentary and unsystematic. We conclude that the teaching
of nondeterminism must be integrated through the computer science curriculum so that students learn to see nondeterminism
both in terms of abstract mathematical entities and in terms of machines whose execution is unpredictable.

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.

This metalogue addresses the ways Sreyashi Jhumki Basu mediated our practices in science education and life. We focus on Basu’s
uses of critical science agency, democratic science classrooms, and critical feminist ethnography to transform the possibilities
for all participants in her research and educational practices. We also examine her use of cases and pedagogical strategies
to support youth set practice goals based on conceptions of self and preferred learning trajectories. These strategies allow
youth to develop power through the use of disciplinary knowledge and modes of inquiry to support their understanding of themselves
as powerful, able to change their position in the world, and make the world more socially just. This (Key Contributors) article
acknowledges a life cut short through disease, reflects our personal loss of a friend and colleague, and expresses determination
to ensure that her contributions to science education are sustained and continued.

This paper traces the genesis of the MIT OpenCourseWare project from its initial strategic precursors in 1999 and 2000, through
its launch in 2001 and its subsequent evolution. The story told here illuminates the interplay among institutional leadership,
and strategic planning, and with university culture in launching major educational technology enterprises. It also shows how
initiatives can evolve in unexpected ways, and can even surpass their initial goals. The paper concludes with an overview
of challenges facing OpenCourseWare in moving from the end of its production ramp-up and towards sustainability.

Mary Norton’s The Borrowers has a complicated narrative framework, through which the story of the small people, the Borrowers, is told. Once we find that the embedded story is carefully set at the turn of the nineteenth century, parallels with Burnett’s The Secret Garden are recognized, in which a lonely Anglo-Indian child experiences some mysterious happenings in an old English country house. Sharing the cultural ambiguity and the sense of loss, both the Garden’s Mary and The Borrowers’ Boy tell stories. Comparing the two works, I will explore the specific cultural meaning of the life of an Anglo-Indian child, and how it relates to the theme of The Borrowers.

Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins tells the archetypal story of the young, virgin, orphan girl who is vulnerable to either debauchery or rescue. That such
a girl must succumb to either one or the other is a necessary element of the archetype. In O’Dell’s work—one intended, after
all, for children—the heroine is rescued by a paternalistic figure and re-inscribed into the patriarchal world. Yet, in the
hands of young readers, Island—part fairytale, part rescue narrative, part feminist parable—becomes a story of independence and survival, despite the heroine’s
“rescue” at the end.

In an earlier article I drew a distinction between two general types of listening. In one the listener brings pre-determined
categories to bear in extracting useful information from the speaker’s utterance. In the other the listener suspends such
categories to hear as much as possible in the utterance. This distinction has been challenged by Sophie Haroutunian-Gordon.
This article responds to her critique.

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

This article examines adaptations in their capacity of preserving literary heritage. It describes how the Middle Dutch beast
epic Reynard the Fox lost its position in literature for adults and became part of a literary heritage that was no longer read but only studied
for its historical value. Versions for children kept the story alive. A comparison of English and Dutch adaptations of the
beast epic demonstrates the influence of different cultural contexts on transformation strategies used to cross the bridge
between the rough medieval satire and children’s literature. While English adaptations affiliated the story to other genres,
its status as the embodiment of Dutch national character compelled Dutch rewriters to find a satisfying justification to provide
children with a story lead by a remarkably scandalous hero.

This article argues that Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials may be read as a series which attempts to assault the Christian doctrine of God. We believe that this demonstrably accords with Pullman’s personal views, and that, through his story, he seeks to foster such views in his readership. However, the accuracy of his attack falls short of its intended mark when it is examined alongside classical Christian theology. The Authority which Pullman’s narrative destroys is actually more akin to the Christian view of the devil than he is the divine, and the victories of Will and Lyra—as a new Adam and Eve—have strong resemblances to the victories which Christianity claims for Christ and Mary. Pullman’s narrative, therefore, becomes an inversion of his deicidal intention rather than an inverting and revolutionary destruction of theology.

The purpose of this study is to analyze variations in how the gene concept is used and conceived in different sub-disciplines
in biology. An examination of the development of subject matter and the use of the gene concept in a common college biology
textbook shows that the gene concept is far from presented in a consistent way. The study describes and categorizes five different
gene concepts used in the textbook; the gene as a trait, an information-structure, an actor, a regulator and a marker. These
conceptual differences are not dealt with in an explicit manner. This constitutes one of the sources for confusion when learning
about genes and genetics.

This commentary on Roth, Lee, and Hwang’s paper aims at analysing their theoretical approach in terms of its object of study,
and the aspects that are brought to the fore, like the cultural activity of conversation, and those that are overshadowed,
like the role of the material world and its perception on learning. This analysis, developed on the basis of a pragmatic approach
that combines theoretical frameworks, leads to a debate about the relevant components of teaching–learning situations according
to the theoretical approaches, and the extent to which, due to the complexity of the studied phenomena, some theoretical frameworks
are complementary or concurrent.

Small programs can make a big difference on college campuses. At Duke University, a few dedicated people, with the support
of college administrators, exploited the all-too-evident liabilities of curriculum fragmentation, political correctness, and
the lack of direction felt by undergraduate students to create intellectually valuable and stimulating new offerings. Russell
Nieli tells how the Gerst and Focus programs have influenced that university and others across America.

Dr. Sreyashi Jhumki Basu was a scholar committed to equity and social justice in science education who passed away in December
2008. In this essay, I describe Jhumki’s research and the call to action her life’s work has laid out for the science education
community. In particular, I draw attention to the role of critical science agency in learning and the democratic science pedagogy
model that Jhumki developed to support students in crafting such agency.
