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.

A research framework for creative and imitative reasoning 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Johan Lithner 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2008,67(3):255-276
This conceptual research framework addresses the problem of rote learning by characterising key aspects of the dominating
imitative reasoning and the lack of creative mathematical reasoning found in empirical data. By relating reasoning to thinking
processes, student competencies, and the learning milieu it explains origins and consequences of different reasoning types.

In modern mathematical teaching, it has become increasingly emphasized that mathematical knowledge should be taught by problem-solving,
hands-on activities, and interactive learning experiences. Comparing the ideas of modern mathematical education with the development
of ancient Chinese mathematics, we find that the history of mathematics in ancient China is an abundant resource for materials
to demonstrate mathematics by hands-on manipulation. In this article I shall present two cases that embody this idea of a
hands-on approach in ancient Chinese mathematics, at the same time offering an opportunity to show how to utilize materials
from the history of Chinese math in modern mathematical education.

This paper focuses on teaching and learning the set of real numbers R and its completeness property at the university level. It studies, in particular, the opportunities for understanding this
property that students are offered in four undergraduate correlative courses in Calculus and Analysis. The theoretical framework
used in the study draws on concepts developed in the Anthropological Theory of Didactics, especially the notions of praxeology
and mathematical organization. The paper shows different expectations concerning the same notion (R and its completeness) through different school levels, and intends to bring up some reflections about the transition from
Calculus to Analysis.

Mathematical concepts and conceptions have been theorized as abstractions from—and therefore transcending—bodily and embodied
experience. In this contribution, we re-theorize mathematical conceptions by building on recent philosophical work in dialectical
phenomenology. Accordingly, a conception exists only in, through, and as of the experiences that the individual realizes it.
To exemplify our reconceptualization of mathematical conceptions, we draw on an episode from a study in a second-grade classroom
where the students learned about three-dimensional geometrical objects.

Large-scale assessments of student achievement provide a window into the broadly defined concepts of literacy and generate
information about levels and types of student achievement in relation to some of the correlates of learning, such as student
background, attitudes, and perceptions, and perhaps school and home characteristics. This paper provides an overview and outlines
potential research opportunities of one such assessment—the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). In order
to provide examples of the work that can be accomplished with these data, we describe and discuss the results generated from
PISA 2000 and PISA 2003 in terms of international comparisons of achievement and the models of relational patterns of student,
home, and school characteristics. We provide insight from the recent pilot testing conducted in Taiwan for PISA 2006, which
has a focus on scientific literacy. This is followed by a discussion of the implications and potentials of the 2000 and 2003
datasets to facilitate research on scientific and mathematical literacy. The paper concludes with a look ahead to PISA 2006
and what researchers should be attending to in the research reports generated from the OECD and the research interests that
they could follow given access to the datasets generated.

Socio-emotional orientations and teacher change 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Raimo Kaasila Markku S. Hannula Anu Laine Erkki Pehkonen 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2008,67(2):111-123
In this article we consider how elementary education students’ views of mathematics changed during their mathematics methods
course. We focus on four female students: two started the course with mainly positive views of mathematics and a task orientation,
two with negative views of the subject and an ego-defensive orientation. The biggest change observed was that the trainees’
views of teaching and learning mathematics became more positive. Moreover, what had been an ego-defensive orientation changed
towards a social-dependence orientation. The crucial facilitators of change seemed to be (1) handling of and reflection on
one’s experiences of learning and teaching mathematics, (2) exploring content with concrete materials, and (3) collaboration
with a partner or working as a tutor of mathematics.

Science educators have yet to identify ways to enable inner city African American high school students to experience success
in science. In this paper, we argue that understanding the ways in which cultural practices from fields outside of school
mediate what happens inside classrooms and contribute to the learning of students is crucial to addressing current disparities
in science performance. Specifically, we explore the significance of movement expressiveness dispositions to the lives and
the learning of economically disadvantaged African American youth. These particular dispositions have been repeatedly observed
in our research, and they can be important resources for the creation of individual emotional energy, collective solidarity,
and heightened engagement in learning activities since they provide resources for the (re)shaping of identity. Thus movement
expressiveness dispositions hold potential for transforming the teaching and learning of these students.

“Culturally-Sensitive Schooling” as proposed by Brayboy and Castagno offers an important way of thinking about the relations
between formal and informal science learning and between Western and Indigenous science. The constructivist framework adopted
by Brayboy and Castagno in their discussions is consistent with the theoretical approach traditionally used by many researchers
and scholars interested in science learning. In this article I explore the basic concepts introduced in their paper, but use
a different theoretical lens for explicating concept formation. Through a cultural-historical reading of “Culturally Sensitive
Schooling,” different insights can be gained about the relations between everyday informal learning and schooled learning
in science. I argue that dialectical logic is more productive for re-theorising science teaching and learning in culturally
diverse communities.

Learning objects are interactive web-based tools that support the learning of specific concepts by enhancing, amplifying,
and/or guiding the cognitive processes of learners. Research on the impact, effectiveness, and usefulness of learning objects
is limited, partially because comprehensive, theoretically based, reliable, and valid evaluation tools are scarce, particularly
in the K-12 environment. The purpose of the following study was to investigate a Learning Object Evaluation Scale for Students
(LOES-S) based on three key constructs gleaned from 10 years of learning object research: learning, quality or instructional
design, and engagement. Tested on over 1100 middle and secondary school students, the data generated using the LOES-S showed
acceptable internal reliability, face validity, construct validity, convergent validity and predictive validity.

Global comparisons of learning from hypertext/hypermedia and traditional presentation formats like text have yet failed to
show major advantages concerning the effectiveness of hypermedia learning. Thus, it is proposed in the current paper to evaluate
hypermedia environments more specifically with regard to their potential to implement and support well-defined learning approaches.
According to this view, an effective hypermedia design needs to be based on thorough cognitive task analyses with regard to
structures, processes, and resources that are required to benefit from a specific learning approach. This claim is illustrated
by two experiments in which we explored the instructional potential of hypermedia environments for improving schema acquisition
from worked-out examples. A cognitive task analysis was used to identify specific types of information comparisons that are
crucial for successful schema induction and that might be effectively supported by suitably designed hypermedia environments.
The experiments investigated two methods for enhancing comparison processes in hypermedia-assisted learning from worked-out
examples, namely, elaboration prompts and an interactive comparison tool. Both methods improved performance for near-transfer
problems. Ways of extending this task-analytical approach to facilitating far transfer are also discussed.

Understanding Learning Culturally: Overcoming the Dualism Between Social and Individual Views of Learning 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper identifies limitations within the current literature on understanding learning. Overcoming these limitations entails
replacing dualist views of learning as either individual or social, by using a theory of learning cultures and a cultural
theory of learning, which articulate with each other. To do this, we argue that it is possible and indeed necessary to combine
major elements of participatory or situated views of learning with elements of Deweyan embodied construction. Bourdieu’s concepts
of habitus and field are used to achieve this purpose, together with the use of ‘becoming’ as a metaphor to help understand
learning more holistically. This theorizing has a predominantly heuristic purpose, and we argue that it enables researchers
to better explain data. We also suggest that a cultural approach of the sort proposed here leads toward the asking of better
questions about learning and its improvement and has high practical significance.

This article examines the lives of three transnational second-generation immigrant Latinas who reside in urban centers in
California and maintain close ties to Mexico. Drawing from a participatory research and ethnographic study, I provide evidence
of the out-of-school learning that they experience and how this shapes their notions of global citizenship. Although schools
have begun to slowly recognize transnational immigrant students, many urban educators whose cities are palpably transformed
by immigrants have not fully connected the promise of such a global lifestyle and its potential for instruction in the classroom.

In this rejoinder to Ann Kindfield and Grady Venville’s comments on our article “Reconsidering conceptual change from a socio-cultural
perspective: Analyzing students’ meaning making in genetics in collaborative learning activities,” we elaborate on some of
the critical issues they raise. Their comments make apparent some of the crucial differences between a socio-cultural and
a socio-cognitive approach towards conceptual change. We have selected some issues that are addressed, either implicitly or
explicitly, in their comments. The main issues discussed are talk and interaction as data, the significance of context in
interaction studies, the feasibility of generic claims in small-scale interaction studies, and the difference between studying
students’ understanding of science concepts as opposed to studying the construction of meaning.

In this paper we examine the possibility of differentiating between two types of nonexamples. The first type, intuitive nonexamples, consists of nonexamples which are intuitively accepted as such. That is, children immediately identify them as nonexamples.
The second type, non-intuitive nonexamples, consists of nonexamples that bear a significant similarity to valid examples of the concept, and consequently are more often
mistakenly identified as examples. We describe and discuss these notions and present a study regarding kindergarten children’s
grasp of nonexamples of triangles.

We engage in a metalogue based on eight papers in this issue of Cultural Studies of Science Education that review the state of conceptual change research and its possible affect on the teaching and learning of science. Our
discussion addresses three aspects of conceptual change research: theoretical, methodological, and practical, as we discuss
conceptual change research in light of our experiences as science educators. Finally, we examine the implications of conceptual
change research for the teachers and students with whom we work.
