A teacher’s journey: a first-person account of how a gay,Cambodian refugee navigated myriad barriers to become educated in the United States

Educational institutions, like most social service organizations, need to recognize intersectionality and complexity and move away from monolithic conceptions of homelessness – if they recognize homelessness at all. This first person account of a gay, Cambodian refugee illustrates the enormous complexity schools face in forming institutional responses for the needs of homeless, highly mobile, and economically displaced children and youth. This article demonstrates an effort to avoid reductionist definitions of homelessness and to include experiential representations of humans living at the margins (under the 5th Avenues of the world, in central parks, in downtown shelters, outside of the ethical and systemic “home” of current ideologies and social orders, under the politics of HIV in Africa, as refugees and as those “othered” by dominant social narratives). The research takes place in the context of the At Home At School program at Washington State University.

过程教育在浙教版九上第三章《圆》中的体现浅析

知识是什么,是思考的结果、经验的结果。仅仅教结果的教育是不能教智慧的,智慧往往表现在过程中。有关过程的东西只有通过过程来教,过程的教育能够培养我们的孩子正确的思考方法,最终培养孩子数学的直观。因此我们要强调过程的教育,在过程中判断他的思维是不是对的。

关于“教代会民主评议领导干部”问题的思考

教代会民主主评议领导干部,是新时期教职工行使民主权利,参与学校管理的重要举措,是认真贯彻党的全心全意依靠工人阶级根本方针,加强基层民主政治建设的重要体现。针对这项工作在全国高校中尚未全面铺开,试行中尚有不少疑虑和模糊认识的实际,从理论上阐述了民主评议工作的重要性、可行性和必要性,并就如何积极推进这项工作必须落实的几个环节提出自己的看法。     

设立“教师教育”专业初探

设立教师教育专业,是指由师范院校和综合大学共同参与开办“教师教育 学科方向”专业,改变原来的学科专业(教师教育方向)为教师教育(学科方向)；不论从理论上讲,还是从教育的实践看,开办教师教育专业具备了必要和充分条件。教师教育专业化是必然趋势,教师教育必须提高教师专业水平,这就需要改变教师专业的重点,增强毕业生从事教学的独特优势,这是教师教育专业的一个基本定位。教师教育的性质决定了教师教育课程的结构和内容,我国教师教育课程改革需要考虑教师教育专业双专业性质,把基础文化知识课程、学科专业课程、教育学科专业课程、教育技能课程和教育实践课程有机地结合起来,根据不同层次的培养目标确定各类课程的基本结构,为我国基础教育培养出高质量的合格教师。

Early years teachers and the influence of Piaget: evidence from oral history

In studying the historical development of early years provision, a clear factor in raising its profile was the growth in scientific study of children, especially the reception and interpretation of Piaget's research. For an understanding of how the mediation of new thinking and new discoveries influenced students and teachers, textbooks provide an important documentary source, but evidence is also available through oral history in the living memories of practitioners themselves. This paper draws on the testimony of early years teachers who began their careers between 1927 and 1955 and continued teaching into the 1960s and 1970s. The account below begins with reflections on psychology and education in the early decades of the twentieth century drawn from a 1936 conference organised by the Nursery School Association of Great Britain, and from a widely used textbook that represents the gradual trend towards ‘fragmentation’ of educational theory into a multiplicity of disciplines. Reference is then made to two popular textbooks by prominent Froebelians, Brearley and Hitchfield, and by Ruth Beard illustrating the growing influence of Piaget as a post facto rationale for a pedagogy that was proceeding by instinct. Walkerdine, Lister and Hall are researchers who have investigated from various angles the impact of Piagetian psychology on primary practice, but the process whereby this translation from the laboratory to the classroom takes place is one that demands further investigation. Vital evidence lies in the living memories of early years teachers whose careers spanned the 1930s to the 1970s and a rich quality and personal texture of the data is apparent as retired early years teachers recounted their professional careers. It offers a more complex account than the grand narratives that historians have traditionally compiled from purely documentary evidence centring on great thinkers, key texts and policy initiatives. The role of in‐service education was clearly important in the experiences recalled in this paper. Above all we find evidence of a distinctive shift in teacher–child relationships over that historical period and of the contribution made to this by psychological theory, epitomised in the figure of Piaget and in his focus on the individual learner.
