论教师的生活体验写作与教师专业发展

实现教师专业发展最重要的因素就是反思与学习。教师的生活体验写作是促成中小学教师进行有效的反思与学习的最重要的方式之一。教师的生活体验写作是一种自我存在的彰显、一种思维的训练、一种个人知识的管理、一种反思习惯的养成;教师的生活体验写作亦是一种教育科研的基本方式,这使“教师成为研究者”获得了其基本的现实性。生活体验写作是一种随机写作,要求教师保持对教育学世界的敏感性与亲切性,以质朴、简单、直接的语言及描述性语言呈现生活世界,要求教师在不断“重写”的过程中实现“描述”与“解释”的统一。通过生活体验写作,中小学教师将成为一个敏行的教育学实践者。     

胡塞尔通向先验现象学的道路

胡塞尔的现象学是西方学术界公认的近代以来最重要的哲学思想.本文探究了胡塞尔通向超理性主义的先验现象学的四条道路,揭示了笛卡尔、休谟、康德和布伦塔诺等哲学家的思想与胡塞尔现象学运思之间的内在关联,使"中止判断"、"明证性"、"先验认识论"和"意向性"等重要的哲学观念获得了现象学语境中新的阐释.     

Being-in-the-World and the Horizons of Learning: Heidegger, Wittgenstein, and Cognition

The work of Heidegger and Wittgenstein still influences research and development in such areas as sociology of science, cognitive science, and design of computer-based work environments. The purpose of this article is to show how the writings of Heidegger and Wittgenstein can be used to: (a) throw new light on studies of real-time learning in school science, (b) understand the situated nature of cognition during science activities, and (c) inform the design of new learning environments. Two case studies are used to illustrate the fruitfulness of such an approach.     

Doing phenomenology in science education: a research review

This article is a review of applications of phenomenology, as a philosophy of knowledge and qualitative research approach, to the field of science education (SE). The purpose is to give an overview of work that has been done as well as to assess it and discuss its possibilities of future development. We ask: what attempts for connecting phenomenology and SE do we find in the research literature, and what possible effects could such connections have for teaching and learning? In approaching this field we distinguish between three sources of phenomenological SE: (1) Goethe’s phenomenology of nature; (2) philosophical phenomenology; and (3) anthropological phenomenology. Existing research based on phenomenological approaches is categorised as phenomenology of SE, phenomenology in SE, and phenomenology and SE integrated. Research examples from each category are critically evaluated and discussed. Finally we discuss the question of the relevance of phenomenology to science teaching. Our review indicates that phenomenology has considerable potential as a method for investigating science learning as a holistic process. It also seems that phenomenology and SE meet most fruitfully when phenomenology is done in the classroom, that is, when it is turned into actual efforts for promoting learning.     

Interviewing objects: including educational technologies as qualitative research participants

This article argues the importance of including significant technologies‐in‐use as key qualitative research participants when studying today’s digitally enhanced learning environments. We gather a set of eight heuristics to assist qualitative researchers in ‘interviewing’ technologies‐in‐use (or other relevant objects), drawing on concrete examples from our own qualitative research projects. Our discussion is informed by Actor‐Network Theory and hermeneutic phenomenology, as well as by the literatures of techno‐science, media ecology, and the philosophy of technology.     

“It’s sweeter where the bruise is”: making sense of the experience of family homelessness in a community–campus partnership

Individual and family stories of homelessness that focus on the transition out of homelessness remain comparatively unexplored. Using hermeneutic inquiry and microstoria analysis to orient the inquiry and design the narrative, this case study involves the story of a woman overcoming homelessness with her family, and her participation in, and contribution to, a community–campus partnership during this period of time. “Delilah” describes aspects of the day-to-day experience of her transition to permanent housing as well as her understanding of “expert-driven” vs. collaboratively designed programming within community–campus partnerships. The author reflects on her relationship with this brilliant person and the complexity of participating in a respectful relationship with her, and outlines some policy recommendations for families facing similar circumstances. She posits that by appropriately partnering with grassroots individuals with deep knowledge of homelessness and other social conditions, education institutions participate in enriching communities and help improve practice to ameliorate social problems.     

Questioning the white body: on applying a phenomenological mode of inquiry to whiteness studies in education

Abstract

The racialized body is of obvious, or at least implicit, concern for the qualitative study of Whiteness in education. Whiteness, as an organizing principle that conditions normative ways of being in society, is predicated upon the raced body as a social signifier. It is curious then, that the body remains under-examined and not treated as a serious analytic. How bodies interact in real time—how educational spaces are brought to life—are left to the analytical wayside in favor of reflective approaches. This paper questions prominent approaches to studying Whiteness in education, and subsequently proposes expanding the methodological repertoire to encompass a phenomenology of racial embodiment as a way to make-meaning of the subtle interactions between bodies unfolding in unique educational places.     

Science Teaching as Educational Interrogation of Scientific Research

The main argument of this article is that science teaching based on a pedagogy of questions is to be modeled on a hermeneutic conception of scientific research as a process of the constitution of texts. This process is spelled out in terms of hermeneutic phenomenology. A text constituted by scientific practices is at once united by a hermeneutic fore-structure and scattered in a diversity of spaces of representation. The educational questioning that should reveal the interpretative aspects of the textualization of scientific research consists of four groups of issues. The ultimate aim of this kind of science teaching is the education of ‘internal critics of science' who are able to make explicit hidden possibilities of doing research.
