School meal time and social learning in England

ABSTRACT

This paper presents an ethnographic account of the culture of school meal time at Peartree Academy, with a specific focus on notions of social learning. This qualitative study is focused on a collection of interviews, observations, field notes and analyses what happens when the school organises its canteen as a restaurant. The focus moves away from the traditional realms of nutrition and explicitly introduces the notion of social learning in its informal sense through which a conceptual framework of a skills model is applied. The paper argues how the school dining hall known as the restaurant can foster opportunities for a form of social competence which is not necessarily seen but can be experienced in the social reproduction of its actors. The findings highlight tensions of control within the environment, which are said to impinge upon these social learning opportunities from occurring.

Professional Cultures and Collaborative Efforts: A Case Study of Technologists and Educators Working for Change

The need for those working in a variety of settings to interact effectively with technical experts has grown dramatically in recent years as computers have become essential to the performance of an increasing broad range of professional work. This article presents a case of this sort of interprofessional interaction, exploring the process and outcomes of collaboration between technical professionals and educators working to bring Internet access to an urban public school district. Drawing on field note and interview data, the case reported here illustrates how differences in institutional routines and professional values can generate differing agendas, contrasting assumptions, and contrasting expectations concerning project products and outcomes among collaborators from different professional worlds. In the case we describe, these differences affected such central matters as the types and usefulness of technical resources to which users had access as well as users' confidence in the technology. The case also illustrates how aspects of this interprofessional conflict were addressed through an organizational change. The kinds of issues that arose in this project are likely to occur in a variety of professional settings; therefore, examination of this case provides insight into a variety of issues and dynamics that should be considered when embarking upon or analyzing any interprofessional collaborative effort, and particularly one that involves technical professionals.     

Providing Bottom-Up Support to Middle School Science Teachers’ Reform Efforts in Using Inquiry-Based Kits

Middle grades science teachers need professional support in practice as they implement new inquiry-based science. Professional development schools can provide this bottom-up support through connecting preservice and inservice teacher education programs in classroom practice. In this study, coteaching arrangements with secondary science education majors provided additional teachers in the classroom to support a materials-rich curriculum and the needed associated pedagogies. Science education majors provided needed assistance in troubleshooting difficulties with the new curriculum. They also provided needed content knowledge to support inquiry, along with creating moments and space for teachers to reflect on inquiry practice. Ongoing assistance by preservice teachers allowed inservice teachers to progress from logistical concerns in implementing kit curriculum to concerns regarding student learning and the supporting professional development.

卡梅伦政府教育新政:创建“自由学校”,确保教育公平

2010年6月18日,英国新任首相卡梅伦出台一项教育新政,允许个人和组织创办自由学校,其办学理念可简单概括为政府掏钱、私人管理,其灵感主要来自瑞典的自由学校以及美国的特许学校。创建自由学校主要缘于英国传统教育的弊端及贫富教育差距的不断扩大。英国政府已经设立了5 000万英镑的专项基金,作为2011年3月31日前创建自由学校的启动资金。该计划宣布后,立即有700多个团体表示有兴趣,这对改进英国教育的公平将影响深远。     

转变经济发展方式视野下高职教师培训评价体系的构建

“十二五”期间,随着转变经济发展方式的加快,高职院校的发展面临着重大的机遇和挑战,构建科学的高职教师培训评价体系,既可以激励教师不断进取,也可以有效提高教师的培训效果,使高职院校的人才培养工作真正适应加快转变经济发展方式的要求。建立在“柯克帕特里克”模型上的高职教师培训评价体系由4个层次的7个方面的指标构成,用这些指标所构成的体系可以对高职教师的培训效果进行定性与定量的评价,以准确评估培训工作满足加快转变经济发展方式对高职教师的要求的程度。
