Keeping classroom animals is a common practice in many classrooms. Their value for learning is often seen narrowly as the potential to involve children in learning biological science. They also provide opportunities for increased empathy, as well as socio-emotional development. Realization of their potential for enhancing primary children’s learning can be affected by many factors. This paper focuses on teachers’ perceptions of classroom animals, drawing on accounts and reflections provided by 19 participants located in an Australian primary school where each classroom kept an animal. This study aims to progress the conversation about classroom animals, the learning opportunities that they afford, and the issues they present. Phenomenographic analysis of data resulted in five categories of teachers’ perceptions of the affordances and constraints of keeping classroom animals. 相似文献

Professional learning communities can be effective vehicles for teacher learning and instructional improvement, partly because they help change professional culture. However, little is known about how these changes occur. We used activity systems analysis to investigate the development of professional learning communities and their teacher leaders (N = 9) based on interviews and observations over 2 years. Activity systems analysis enables researchers to understand change within complex qualitative data sets by finding systemic relations within the activity, specifying contradictions in the system, and explicating outcomes. The resulting activity system illuminates the transformation of a mostly private, autonomous, and egalitarian culture to one of nascent collaboration, reflection, and shared values, as well as teacher leaders’ development of agency. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Current data indicate that there are six million young people of school age with disabilities in China. Of these, only about 50 per cent attend any form of schooling, with approximately 220,000 of them enrolled in special schools and classes. The remainder attend regular classrooms. This means that there are about three million students with disabilities who at present lack any access to education. In May 1996 it was declared that in order to improve this situation, over the next five years, China plans to provide school places for 80 per cent of its disabled youngsters. In order to achieve this goal, the Chinese central education authorities have announced a significant change in policy direction towards integration. Instead of their previous commitment to the establishment of increasing numbers of special schools, it is now planned that the current number of about 1,400 special schools will be increased to 2,000, so that all regions of the country have access to at least one. At that point, no more special schools will be built. The extra places needed to increase the school attendance rate of youngsters with disabilities will be created in regular classes in regular schools. This paper gives an overview of the curriculum arrangements in China's four types of special schools, including their historical development, subjects taught, teaching arrangements and management. A number of difficulties confronting China's special education policy‐makers are canvassed and reasons suggested for their increasing commitment to a strategy of integration. It is proposed that China enjoys three advantages in the pursuit of an integrated school system. 相似文献

Judging plagiarism: a problem of morality and convention 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Julianne East 《Higher Education》2010,59(1):69-83
This paper considers the problem of plagiarism as an issue of morality. Outrage about student plagiarism in universities positions
it as dishonesty and a transgression of standards. Despite this, there has been little work analysing the implications of
positioning plagiarism as a moral matter in the making of judgments about plagiarism and academic dishonesty. This paper sets
the scene by reviewing research about the characteristics of students who cheat and analysing student and lecturer differences.
It then discusses perspectives from moral behaviour, moral philosophy and moral reasoning. The paper concludes that emotion
and reason are brought to moral judgments, and so makes a case for those who are making judgments about plagiarism to reflect
on whether they are faced with a matter of morality or convention. Greater awareness of the domains of convention and morality,
the issues of justice and care, the roles of emotion and reason and what is involved in making judgments, will open ways of
understanding reactions to plagiarism so that better ways to deal with accusations and make judgments can be developed. 相似文献

AbstractInterprofessional education (IPE) involves cross disciplinary learning, teaching, and supervision to foster greater interdisciplinary collaboration. In the field of medicine, this training approach has been adopted to improve collaboration amongst health care professionals. Rarely has this approach been adopted in regard to the preparation of student teachers. Yet professionals from the disciplines of general and special education, school social work, and school psychology often must work together and with families and pupils. A rationale will be forwarded for offering IPE to graduate students in these fields before they graduate. A multi departmental project was undertaken to design a new IPE training programme to foster collaborative knowledge of, dispositions towards, and skills in family school partnering. The components of the programme, the proposed criteria to gauge the success an initial pilot of the programme, and challenges faced in setting up such cross-discipline training will be described with lessons learned for the future. 相似文献

In this paper, we challenge the current focus on ‘best practice’, graduate teacher tests, and student test scores as the panacea for ensuring teaching quality and argue for ways of thinking about evidence of quality beginning teaching outside and beyond the current neoliberal accountability discourses circulating in Australia and other countries. We suggest that teacher educators need to reinsert themselves as key players in the debates around quality beginning teaching, rather than being viewed as a source of the problem. To enable teacher educators to assume accountability for quality beginning teachers, we propose the framework of a capstone teacher performance assessment—a structured portfolio called the Authentic Teacher Assessment (ATA)—and examine examples of these assessments through the lens of critical discourse analysis. As a measure of ‘readiness to teach’, the ATA is compared with supervising teachers’ assessments of preservice teachers. We argue that structured portfolios that include artefacts derived from preservice teachers’ practice in classrooms along with graduate teacher self assessments provide a stronger accountability measure of effective beginning teaching and demonstrably address the current anxiety regarding ‘evidence’. We suggest that such an approach should be reliable enough to be ‘read’ by external assessors (and moderated across other teacher education institutions). Rigorous research on a national basis is called for in order to develop and implement a structured portfolio as rich evidence of graduates’ quality and readiness to teach. 相似文献

This paper reports on the understanding of three key conceptual categories relating to the kinetic particle theory: (1) intermolecular
spacing in solids, liquids and gases, (2) changes of state and intermolecular forces and (3) diffusion in liquids and gases,
amongst 148 high school students from Brunei, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore using 11 multiple-choice items that required
students to provide explanations for their selection of particular responses to the items. Students’ responses to the items
revealed limited understanding of the particle theory concepts, with nine alternative conceptions held by more than 10% of
various samples of students. Also, 40.5–78.4% of all students indicated consistent understanding relating to the three conceptual
categories based on their responses to the 11 items. However, when their explanations were taken into account, very few students
displayed consistent understanding of the related concepts. 相似文献
