The contemporary educational discourse on critical thinking, as one of the primary aims of education. has been divided into
the spheres of modernist defense and post-modernist criticism. Critical of both positions, this paper attempts to find a new
way of employing critical thinking, especially for the purposes of moral education, by drawing on Bernard William’s concept
of “ethical reflection.” It will be shown that employing critical thinking for the fostering of ethical reflection in our
young students can lead them into an “understanding” of ethical, rather than “ethical knowledge,” which enables them to properly
deal with moral relativism in a culturally pluralistic society. This paper then explores the educational possibilities presented
by Socrates’ teaching method as an example of this employment, though not without consideration of the attendant educational
limitations and dangers. 相似文献

This article is situated in contemporary debates about the ways to achieve a scientific literacy that encourages a greater
lay participation in public debates and political decision making. Drawing on the notion of “relationship to scientific experts”
(in French, “rapport aux experts scientifiques”), I explore the ways in which a group of 3 Quebec post-secondary students
describe the relationships they hold toward people whom they consider to be scientific experts, as revealed during a project
in which they investigated the controversy surrounding cellular telephone use. To this end, I scrutinize how the members of
the group go about describing scientific experts and picture a prospective face-to-face discussion with a scientific expert.
The data come from a case study (conducted over a 15-week period). The findings show that the group maintains a relationship
of intimidation by scientific experts, in which the latter are depicted in terms of their knowledge and qualifications. Accordingly,
the group was overawed not only by the accumulation of knowledge held and produced by scientific experts but also by the latter’s
research experience and the high social recognition they occasionally enjoyed. Similarly, the group describes a prospective
face-to-face discussion with a doctor or a researcher in terms of an impersonal, intimidating encounter during which its members’
learning and comprehension in relation to the controversy are assumed to be unequal to the task. The implications of the findings
for future research are discussed. 相似文献

Conclusion I applaud ISTE, AASL, AECT, and the other organizations involved for tackling the “messy work” of developing standards for
the use of technology and information resources in schools. And, at the same time, I call for a “second generation” of standards
that define realistic expectations for teachers based on the subjects and levels they are called upon to teach. I propose
that professional organizations from each subject work with ISTE and AECT to complete this huge task, and I propose that we
consider as a “next step” the creation of a set of on-line learning experiences through which teachers can gain the identified
skills and knowledge by using the very technologies we’re hoping they’ll embrace in their own teaching.
There’s an old saying, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do.” As far as educational technologies are concerned,
this is also true. For many, the goal seems to have been simply to “get more computers into the schools,” without much thought
about purpose. To return to Phil Schlechty’s metaphor, It’s generally been a brief and misguided “Ready” stage (occupied with
questions like “How many do we need?” “What type?” “Where?” and “How shall we connect them?”), followed by “Fire!” (the acquisition
and installation of equipment). What we need is: “Ready” (the creation of appropriate teams of people who will combine their
insights to plan for the district)... “Aim” (a series of discussions about what technologies can accomplish for schools and
the students they serve)... “Fire” (acquisition, installation, and professional development according to plan)... “Aim” (an
assessment of how well the technologies and related programs met the intended goals, and a new planning effort designed to
close the gap)... “Fire” (acquisition and implementation designed to eliminate the gap)... “Aim” (another gap assessment)...
“Fire” (another attempt to close gaps)..., And so on. 相似文献

Beliefs and attitudes resulting from the unique life experiences of teachers frame interactions with learners promoting gender
equity or inequity and the reproduction of social views about knowledge and power as related to gender. This study examines
the enactment of a female science teacher’s pedagogy (Laura), seeking to understand the implications of her beliefs and attitudes,
as framed by her interpretations and daily manifestations, as she interacts with students. Distinct influences inform the
conceptual framework of this study: (a) the social organization of society at large, governed by understood and unspoken patriarchy,
present both academically and socially; (b) the devaluing of women as “knowers” of scientific knowledge as defined by a western
and male view of science; (c) the marginalization or “feminization” of education and pedagogical knowledge. The findings reflect
tensions between attitudes and beliefs and actual teacher practice suggesting the need for awareness within existing or new
teachers about their positions as social agents and the sociological implications related to issues of gender within which
we live and work, inclusive of science teaching and learning. 相似文献

We analyse and explore, in the form of dialogues and metalogues questions about the dialogic nature of beliefs and students
belief talk about the nature of science and scientific knowledge. Following recent advances in discursive psychology, this
study focuses not on students' claims but on the discursive resources and dialogical practices that support the particular
claims they make. We argue that students' discourse is better understood as a textual bricolage that is sensitive to conversational
context, common sense, interpretive repertoires, and textual resources available in the conversational situation. Our text
is reflexive as it embodies the discursive construction of knowledge and undercuts any claims to authoritative knowledge.
The very conception of “belief” is itself an expression or construction from within the mundane idiom.... We learn to use
“belief” in conditions when the “objective facts” are unknown or problematic and we want to indicate the tenuous character
of our claim.... The notion of “real world” or “objective reality” is embedded in an extensive, pervasive language game which
includes as an intelligible move or possibility the use of the very concept of “belief” itself. (Pollner, 1987, p. 21) 相似文献

Explicit training in teaming skills (both preservice and inservice) has been identified as a key means of facilitating the
effective functioning of teaching teams (Main, 2007). This case study explored how groupwork tasks within university coursework
can prepare preservice education students to work effectively in teaching teams. Three students in their final year of study
were primed to the skills that have been identified as necessary for successful team practices. The students then participated
in a semi-structured interview about their groupwork experiences at university. Results from this study of preservice teacher
education students reflected findings from studies of students’ groupwork experiences in other disciplines (i.e., business).
Students reported opportunities to practise teamwork. However, they were not explicitly taught “how” to work effectively together.
It was also found that the assessment focus was entirely on the final “product” and not on the group “process”. 相似文献

For the last two decades science education researchers have had a major interest in identifying students’ intuitive understanding
of a wide range of scientific topics and in reducing the difficulties involved when an attempt is made to replace these views
by scientific understanding. Different approaches to this latter problem have been adopted by researchers, with strategies
ranging from the pragmatic and atheoretical to those with a stronger theoretical foundation, usually based on some form of
constructivism. In this paper we report on a novel theoretical perspective which takes as its foundation the psychological
research of about three decades ago which investigated “forgetting,” and the important effects of previous knowledge in this
process. In particular this new perspective demonstrates that, under normal teaching conditions, and through the process of
proactive inhibition, the student’s prior knowledge can accelerate the forgetting of the newly taught scientific ideas. The
paper first develops the theoretical position and then shows that a change in teaching approach can take advantage of the
differences between the students’ prior understanding and the scientific view to ensure more efficient replacement. Following
this an overview of the new methodology, as it is currently being used on a trial basis by science teachers in South Australia,
is briefly introduced. 相似文献

There is an increasing interest in the role of emotions in education. The concept of “emotional intelligence” is an example. There are various discourses being developed in education about the importance of emotions. One such emerging discourse builds on the argument that greater emphasis on emotions under some circumstances and control over others is functional and effective for the economy. The goal of this paper is to provide a series of reflections on the “fate” of emotions in education in an era where they appear to be marketed and discussed to an unprecedented degree. In doing so, I wish to intervene in current debates about the role of emotion in education and expose some of the complexities in the “(un)managed heart” and the dilemmas of valorization and/or rejection of emotions that are promoted in education at the dawn of the 21st century. I argue that a critical inquiry of various challenges in a postmodern culture of emotions constitutes new forms of educational spaces and signifies new understandings of the grounds for problematizing the instrumentalization of emotion in education. 相似文献

Every aspect of teaching, including the instructional method, the course content, and the types of assessments, is influenced
by teachers’ attitudes and beliefs. Teacher education programs play an important role in the development of beliefs regarding
teaching and learning. The purpose of the study was to document pre-service teachers’ views on science, scientists, and science
teaching as well as the relations between these views and the offered courses over several years spent in an elementary science
teacher training program. The sample consisted of 145 pre-service elementary science teachers who were being trained to teach
general science to students in the 6th through 8th grades. The research design was a cross-sectional study. Three different
instruments were used to collect the data, namely, the “Draw a Scientist Test”, “Draw a Science Teacher Test”, and “Students’
Views about Science” tests. The elementary science teacher training program influenced pre-service science teachers’ views
about science, scientists and science teaching to different degrees. The most pronounced impact of the program was on views
about science teaching. Participants’ impressions of science teaching changed from teacher-centered views to student-centered
ones. In contrast, participants’ views about scientists and science did not change much. This result could be interpreted
as indicating that science teacher training programs do not change views about science and scientists but do change beliefs
regarding teaching science. 相似文献

教育实验研究方法的再认识 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Xiaowei Yang 《Frontiers of Education in China》2007,2(3):349-365
The scientificalization of educational research methods was always the most predominant in the two tides of educational experiment
in China in the twentieth century, the result of which was unexpectedly dissatisfactory, because researchers misunderstood
the connotation of scientificalization in such a degree that resulted in the worship for methods and thought of replacement.
If researchers reflect dialectically on the classic codes of experiment, and aim at reconstructing the viewpoint of experiment
in education in the dimensions of ideas and pattern, they would guide the research on education by an “ideal type”, decently
intervene the “logic of practice” with the “logic of theory”, so that the theorists and practitioners in education can finally
coexist and co-develop.

This article is a response to Randy Yerrick and Joseph Johnson’s article “Negotiating White Science in Rural Black America:
A Case for Navigating the Landscape of Teacher Knowledge Domains”. They write about research conducted by Yerrick in which
videos of his teaching practice as a White educator in a predominately Black rural classroom were examined. Their analysis
is framed through Shulman’s (1986) work on “domains of teacher knowledge” and Ladson-Billings’ (1999) critical race theory (CRT). Although we appreciate a framework that attends to issues of power, such as CRT, we see a heavier
emphasis on Shulman’s work in their analysis. We argue that a culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP) framework has the potential
to provide a more nuanced analysis of what occurred in Yerrick’s classroom from a critical lens. Thus we examine Yerrick and
Johnson’s work through the five main CRP components (as defined by Brown-Jeffy and Cooper 2011) and ultimately argue that science educators who want to promote equity in their classrooms should engage in continuous critical
reflexivity, aid students in claiming voice, and encourage students to become not only producers of scientific knowledge but
also users and critics of such knowledge. 相似文献

This article provides an overview of education after and about Auschwitz (Holocaust education)* in Germany in both theory
and practice, with particular attention to three critical areas. The first is the status of research in, as Adorno famously
phrased it, “education after Auschwitz” within the context of contemporary Germany. German society is pluralistic, and is
built on the third and fourth generations of young Germans since the National Socialist Era. These Germans cannot and do not
want to be identified as perpetrators, but they must deal with a strong and growing right-wing extremist movement. The second
area, given these challenges, is the fact that Holocaust education can fail. And finally, the European dimension of Holocaust
remembrance means teaching about Auschwitz in the context of a general effort to resist inhumanity, as well as attempts to
identify the connections between learning after and about Auschwitz, on the one hand, and learning and understanding human
rights as a European and global vision on the other. 相似文献

In the new science and technology junior-high-school curriculum in Israel, it is recommended that the cell topic be taught
“longitudinally in conjunction with other study contents”. This recommendation confers a change in teaching the cell topic
and provides an opportunity to form meaningful relationships between biological phenomena at the macro-level and their cellular
explanations. Here, we examine junior-high-school science and technology teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) with
regard to the cell topic and the formation of macro-micro relations, ten years following the publication of the change in
the curriculum. Teachers in this study participated in three focus groups (n = 59) and one workshop (n = 12). In addition, six experienced teachers were interviewed in the course of this study. Specific tools were developed
to capture the teachers’ PCK. We found that the teachers had changed their way of teaching the cell topic only superficially:
they did not undergo any deep change. Despite the importance the teachers placed on teaching and learning the cell topic,
their concerns about their students’ comprehension difficulties reduced the time they devoted to teaching the topic in class.
The teachers were also found to have no PCK capacity to integrate biological phenomena at the macro-level with their cellular
explanations. In addition, a duality was identified among the teachers with regards to relating macro- and micro-levels in
biology and in chemistry. 相似文献

This forum considers argumentation as a means of science teaching in South African schools, through the integration of indigenous
knowledge (IK). It addresses issues raised in Mariana G. Hewson and Meshach B. Ogunniyi’s paper entitled: Argumentation-teaching
as a method to introduce indigenous knowledge into science classrooms: opportunities and challenges. As well as Peter Easton’s:
Hawks and baby chickens: cultivating the sources of indigenous science education; and, Femi S. Otulaja, Ann Cameron and Audrey
Msimanga’s: Rethinking argumentation-teaching strategies and indigenous knowledge in South African science classrooms. The
first topic addressed is that implementation of argumentation in the science classroom becomes a complex endeavor when the
tensions between students’ IK, the educational infrastructure (allowance for teacher professional development, etc.) and local
belief systems are made explicit. Secondly, western styles of debate become mitigating factors because they do not always
adequately translate to South African culture. For example, in many instances it is more culturally acceptable in South Africa
to build consensus than to be confrontational. Thirdly, the tension between what is “authentic science” and what is not becomes
an influencing factor when a tension is created between IK and western science. Finally, I argue that the thrust of argumentation
is to set students up as “scientist-students” who will be considered through a deficit model by judging their habitus and
cultural capital. Explicitly, a “scientist-student” is a student who has “learned,” modeled and thoroughly assimilated the
habits of western scientists, evidently—and who will be judged by and held accountable for their demonstration of explicit
related behaviors in the science classroom. I propose that science teaching, to include argumentation, should consist of “listening
carefully” (radical listening) to students and valuing their language, culture, and learning as a model for
“science for all”. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of engaging students to collectively learn and work with knowledge in a computer-supported
collaborative learning environment called Knowledge Forum on their views about knowledge building theory and practice. Participants
were 24 teacher-education students who took a required course titled “Integrating Theory and Practice in Teaching.” Data mainly
came from (1) student discourse recorded in a Knowledge Forum database, (2) a survey that examined students’ views about knowledge
building, and (3) interviews with regard to students’ perceived barriers to implementing knowledge building theory in teaching.
Findings suggest that with sustained discourse to construct their collective understanding of the relationships between theory
and practice in teaching for a semester, the participants were able to attain more informed and practical views about knowledge
building theory. In addition, students’ perceived barriers to implementing knowledge building in teaching were identified
and strategies to help overcome these barriers discussed. 相似文献

While the “model minority” stereotype of Asian Americans and its negative effects has been documented elsewhere, relatively
little attention has been paid to how recent Asian immigrant students begin to embrace the stereotype while in schools. This
study explores the identity formation process for a group of recent Korean immigrant students as “model minority” in an urban
high school to empirically document the process. Through interviews and observations, I learned that the immigrants acquired
an unauthentic American identity as a racial minority, constructed their status as “model minority” in response, and enacted
the stereotype as they sanctioned those who couldn’t live up to the stereotype. The aim is to add to the body of knowledge
on the school experiences of recent Asian immigrants. 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
