A practice-based approach to student reflection in the workplace during a Work-Integrated Learning placement

In the Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) curriculum, reflection on workplace activities is widely used to support student learning. Recent critiques have demonstrated the limitations of current approaches to support students' reflective learning of workplace practices. By employing a practice-based approach, we seek to refocus WIL reflection on workplace practices, emphasising the ‘embedded (social), engaged (practice) and embodied (material) aspects' of students' reflective practices in the workplace. We argue that reflection-in-the-midst-of-action includes an often-overlooked phenomenological contribution that shifts attention from cognition to action. This study uses a case study of one typical WIL student to illustrate the importance of reflection-in-the-midst-of-action and the limitations of pedagogical structure using an e-log and reflective journal to capture reflection-in-the-midst-of-action. We argue that the move to consider reflection as a practice, and the move to refocus reflection to reflection-in-the-midst-of-action, supports a learning approach that is more congruent with workplace action and context.     

‘Being in the World’: The event of learning

This paper employs an eclectic mix of paradigms in order to discuss constituting characteristics of young children's learning experiences. Drawing upon a phenomenological perspective it examines learning as a form of ‘Being’ and as the result of learners’ engagement with the world in their own, unique, intentional manners. The learners’ intentions towards their world are expressed in everyday activity and participation. A social constructivist perspective is thus employed to present learning as situated in meaningful socio‐cultural contexts of the everyday, lived world and as a form of participation in those settings. These characteristics of learning are brought together into a holistic, synthesised model, a Gestalt of learning. The proposed synthesis has relevance for and is applicable to educational contexts as a means of making sense of children's learning experiences and of promoting and facilitating them.     

论怀疑论与现象学的逻辑联系及其对美学的启示

胡塞尔在借鉴古典怀疑论的“悬置”(Epokhe)、“存疑”(Epoche)、“对立”(Antitheses)、“否定”(Negation)等方法论的前提下,展开对怀疑论的批判活动,清洗了“存疑”的观念和反驳了心理主义和相对主义。由此,建立了现象学这种现代意义的主体性哲学。从怀疑论和现象学的逻辑联系考察,它对于美学的启迪意义在于,消解传统哲学的二元对立的本体论,接纳纯粹意识作为审美主体,并将想象和体验引申为美学的方法。由此诞生和以往美学不同的概余和话语．为美学研究开拓新的思维空间。     

秉持现象学态度的教师教育理论研究

秉持现象学态度,依据现象学还原原理进行教师教育理论研究,现象学的教师教育理论研究新领域得以敞开。在现象学态度下,教师作为研究者的主体地位得以确立;教师的教育研究对象与内容为教师的职业生活体验;教师的职业生活体验研究过程与方法是进行现象学的描述与解释;教师进行职业生活体验研究应按照现象学的反思方法去操作;教师的职业生活体验研究是态度、目的、方法与过程的统一。     

跨文化语篇理解的层级性——英伽顿阅读现象学对跨文化语篇理解的启示

传统的语篇理解模式是建立在感性的直觉判断和无意识的宏观结构基础上 ,这一模式对于跨文化语篇理解有很大的局限性。本文借鉴英伽顿阅读现象学的理论说明跨文化语篇理解必须从语言形式出发 ,从语音层、语义层、再现客体层及图式化观相层四个层面上对文本的意义进行阐发 ,思维批判意识的构筑表现出明显的层级性。     

教育学中“具体的人”——现象学的视域

“抽象的人”是概念中的人,而“具体的人”是生活中、活动中的人,传统教育学仅仅把人当作概念对象来把握,因而是抽象的;教育现象学把人理解为生活世界中的感性存在,因而是具体的。关注“具体的人”即关注具体人的生存、生活与生命;研究“具体的人”强调指向教育生活体验,解释教育生活“文本”,面对教育事实写作。构建以“具体的人”为基础的教育学意在追求教育实践智慧,重视教育生活体验,珍视师生生命创造。     

Dialectic and Dialogue in Plato: Refuting the model of Socrates-as-teacher in the pursuit of authentic Paideia

Incorporating Gadamer and other thinkers from the continental tradition, this essay is a close and detailed hermeneutic, phenomenological, and ontological study of the dialectic practice of Plato’s Socrates—it radicalizes and refutes the Socrates-as-teacher model that educators from scholar academic ideology embrace.     

Co-teaching in the college classroom

This paper serves as a phenomenological reflection about the meaning of a co-teaching experience at the college level for two graduate teaching assistants. When two teachers combine planning and teaching efforts it is called co-teaching. As a pedagogical method for both instructors and students, co-teaching was beneficial because it modeled a collaborative teaching style required of the students in their curricular work. Utilizing the interpretivist discourse of phenomenology, the authors dialog about the meaning each makes of the coursework, the pedagogy, the students, and the teacher effectiveness through a co-teaching model. The dialog and reflection on the phenomenon of co-teaching contributes to more productive co-teaching instruction for pre-service teacher instructors.
