文化人类学视域中的课程研究内涵及其方法论变革

文化人类学家强调,人是文化的生物,人生活在文化情境之中。借助文化人类学的理论和方法,可以对课程研究做出新的诠释:课程研究具有文化本土性、文化主体性和文化多样性的特征。基于这种文化的解释,文化人类学为课程研究带来了新的方法论意义:1)课程研究的主题关注个人实践知识和地方性知识;2)课程研究的方法主张文化人类学范式,基于田野工作方法,开展民族志研究;3)课程研究的叙事方式转向文化解释;4)课程研究的交互主体开始显现。     

James Moffett’s Mistake: Ignoring the Rational Capacities of the Other

Using Alasdair MacIntyre’s theory of tradition-bound rationalities, this essay analyses James Moffett’s depiction of the censors who opposed his Interactions textbook series in the Kanawha County, West Virginia, schools. Many reviewers have found Moffett’s analysis of the censors in Storm in the Mountains even-handed and respectful. Such lauding of Moffett’s work obscures the ways in which his understanding of the censors and their motivations inadequately considers the cultural history of the Appalachian region, its relationship to literacy, and the rationality underlying the censors’ stance. A critical look at Moffett’s representation of the censors permits a reconsideration of his theory of literacy, and moves us closer to understanding how to realize pluralistic education in resistant locales.     

Slash Writers and Guinea Pigs as Models for a Scientific Multiliteracy

This paper explores alternative approaches to the conception of scientific literacy, drawing on cultural studies and emerging practices in language arts as its framework. The paper reviews historic tensions in the understanding of scientific literacy and then draws on the multiliteracies movement in language arts to suggest a scientific multiliteracy. This is explored through analyzing the writing practices of groups other than scientists who for a variety of reasons must engage science. Specifically the paper examines zine writers who are ‘professional’ human research subjects, i.e. derive a part of their annual income by signing up for psychological and medical experiments, and science fiction fans, who produce their own texts in response to the narratives they love. The paper argues that these literacy practices add to traditional notions of scientific literacy possibilities of history, fiction, critique, as well as more traditional empiricism embraced by national standards. The paper concludes by considering the ambivalence towards science in both of these popular scientific literacy communities’ writings, arguing that what multiliteracies offers is a possibility of a more nuanced, more appropriately ambivalent, and more politically and ethically engaged subject of science than offered by the current version of literacy dominating science educational discourse.

Book and school: On literacy and general education

In this article it is argued that an internal relationship exists between literacy (being able to read and write) and general education. The concrete meaning of general education and of (cultural) literacy is, however, subject to cultural and historical change. In the light of our context of cultural diversity, a plea is held to underline the liberative powers of general education, and in doing so to pay homage to pluriformity as a value. School and book serve this liberation in the sense that horizons are widened by learning about worlds of thought other than one's own. Such a general education is in keeping with an envisioned Europe predisposed to tolerance of difference and pluriformity.     

Literacy in a ‘broad and balanced’ primary school curriculum: the potential of a disciplinary approach in Irish classrooms

The prominence afforded to literacy in the Irish Primary School Curriculum has received considerable attention in recent years, spurred by Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) rankings, governmental priorities, public commentary and academic debate. At times, this discourse has presented literacy as a separate and distinct entity to the other areas of the curriculum, including the arts, social and scientific education. The current paper proposes a more integrated view of literacy’s role in the curriculum. Recent research on the teaching of literacy in the content areas has emphasised the potential of a disciplinary approach, which embraces the key skills, dispositions and forms of knowledge connected with reading, writing, speaking and listening in different disciplines. This paper examines some of the key features of disciplinary literacy, including its underpinning rationale and learning implications. It also highlights the potential for a disciplinary literacy lens in the review of the Primary School Curriculum, as well as associated opportunities and challenges.

Constructs of teacher professionalism within a changing literacy landscape

This paper argues that the work of teachers in England's primary schools has been reconstructed. It is proposed that the literacy curriculum has been a major factor in this reconstruction. The paper suggests that the purposes of literacy today have been determined by policy makers, and that the nature of policy texts has changed, hardened, into specific requirements. It argues that the role of the policy driver has been fundamental in this era, influential in the contexts of policy making, policy text production and teacher training. The paper develops by proposing that there is an emerging model of professionalism today largely determined by two key figures: the Policy Driver, and the Practice Driver, or Headteacher. These two figures are at the meeting place of policy and practice and assume the mantle of ‘reality definers’ for the process of literacy education in English primary schools.

新课程改革中的文化理解

历经九年的新课程改革,在国际背景中越来趋向于塑造基于不同文化理解的学生的认知结构。这些文化可以是宏观的国家民族文化,也可以是中观的社经地位、宗教、性别文化,更多的是人与人之间微观差异的文化。在新课改的各个环节中,渗透着这些不同层次的文化差异,而这些差异的融合度关联着这次改革能否顺利地进一步地推进。
