Our main interest in this article is to explore whether Swedish teachers changed their teaching and assessment practices in relation to the new national tests in science education that were introduced 2009. Data was collected using a web-distributed questionnaire, which was answered by 407 teachers. The concept of teaching traditions is used to capture patterns of what is emphasized by teachers in terms of goals and content in teaching and the design of the questionnaire was based on the concept of curriculum emphases. The results show two distinct groups of focus, which are compared with two traditions within science education: the Academic and the Moral tradition. The main content where teaching has been changed is in making science more applied than before, where applied not only means the application of science knowledge to practical technical issues, but also to moral and political issues. 相似文献

In recent years there has been a growing interest in questions related to embodiment and learning. Within the field of ‘body pedagogics’ great efforts have been made to develop theory and methodology that can deal with the corporeal aspects of experience and knowledge without adopting any form of dualistic conceptions of body/mind and organism/environment. This article connects to this body of research. The purpose is to first present a synthesis of James' radical empiricism, Dewey's transactional understanding of experience and learning and Marcel Mauss' concept of ‘body techniques’ and the notion of education embedded in it. Against the background of this theoretical development, and with a Transactional Model of Analyzing Bodying (TMAB), we then show how we can analytically come to terms with different dualistic problems that research into ‘body pedagogics’ has to deal with. We use an empirical example of dinghy sailing to create knowledge about what we learn when learning embodied knowledge, and how this learning takes place. We argue that experience is an important concept for understanding the acting knowing human being, describing how experience is organized and developed and outlining how this organization can be understood as learning. We hold that situations where someone learns to embody certain knowledge are cases of overt actions, in which we can see what kinds of relations are created and how these relations become meaningful for further action. 相似文献

Conventionally, e-Participation initiatives are considered to be successful only if users use these services. While the growing body of e-Participation literature has listed and studied challenges and barriers to achieving this end, conceptual clarity on why such projects are considered as failures is yet to be achieved. We argue that this is due to the inadequate understanding of the complex stakeholder dynamics of an e-Participation project. In this paper, we seek to address this knowledge gap by proposing that using stakeholder theory complemented by genre theory provides an interpretive lens to understand the complexities in the development and use of such projects. To illustrate our proposed lens, we apply it to analyze an e-Participation project in Norway at its development and use phases. Our findings indicate that a key factor that influences the success of e-Participation initiatives is high saliency of at least one stakeholder group at various phases of the initiatives. The saliency of stakeholders changes over the life of a project and hence the salient stakeholder also varies. Consequently, it is not essential for the same stakeholder group to be salient throughout, only that some stakeholders remain salient. Our interpretive lens also extends the discourse on stakeholder theory. In traditional management literature stakeholder theory is meant as a tool to identify stakeholders' groups to which management or owner of an organization should pay attention. We show that it is also useful to identify which stakeholder groups will act to protect their interests. Based on our findings, we propose insights into studying and developing e-Participation projects. 相似文献

Document length is widely recognized as an important factor for adjusting retrieval systems. Many models tend to favor the
retrieval of either short or long documents and, thus, a length-based correction needs to be applied for avoiding any length
bias. In Language Modeling for Information Retrieval, smoothing methods are applied to move probability mass from document
terms to unseen words, which is often dependant upon document length. In this article, we perform an in-depth study of this
behavior, characterized by the document length retrieval trends, of three popular smoothing methods across a number of factors,
and its impact on the length of documents retrieved and retrieval performance. First, we theoretically analyze the Jelinek–Mercer,
Dirichlet prior and two-stage smoothing strategies and, then, conduct an empirical analysis. In our analysis we show how Dirichlet
prior smoothing caters for document length more appropriately than Jelinek–Mercer smoothing which leads to its superior retrieval
performance. In a follow up analysis, we posit that length-based priors can be used to offset any bias in the length retrieval
trends stemming from the retrieval formula derived by the smoothing technique. We show that the performance of Jelinek–Mercer
smoothing can be significantly improved by using such a prior, which provides a natural and simple alternative to decouple
the query and document modeling roles of smoothing. With the analysis of retrieval behavior conducted in this article, it
is possible to understand why the Dirichlet Prior smoothing performs better than the Jelinek–Mercer, and why the performance
of the Jelinek–Mercer method is improved by including a length-based prior.

This study describes how a group of teachers in a US public school developed and used permission-seeking moves as strategic and agentic tools to change their school curriculum and challenge norms of teaching. Although the notion of asking permission is typically considered disempowering in educational contexts, this study demonstrates that certain forms of permission-seeking (and giving) can foster collaboration and teacher agency across multiple constituent groups in a school community. This 2-year ethnographic study occurred within a context of a test-driven teaching environment with shifting student racial and economic demographics. Our research offers a reconceptualized theory of permission within a teacher agency framework and new possibilities for practitioners to engage in transgressive teaching with diverse learners in hyper-standardized teaching contexts. 相似文献

AbstractThis paper presents different angles on the subject of digital play as a means to develop children’s literacy and power, using an online ethnographical study of Swedish preschool teachers’ discussions in informal online forums. Question posts (n = 239) were analysed using the Technological Pedagogical Knowledge framework and the Caring, Nurturing and Teaching framework, with the aim of understanding how teachers intended to support children’s literacy development with tablets. Literacy development can be understood as a social practice that needs to develop along with changes in society’s demands on citizens. The results presented indicate that school subject oriented skills are predominantly present in the mind-set of these preschool teachers. When digital play is increasingly used for pedagogical purposes in preschools, that also means that preschools have expanded their opportunities to work with children’s literacy development. For preschool teachers, it is important to discuss how literacy development can be supported in a contemporary media landscape. 相似文献

This article departures from the understanding of environmental sustainable education (ESE) as a political project that consists of dissonant and conflicting voices. The aim of the article is to understand how affection, i.e. bodily sensations, transform into political emotions in teaching and learning settings. The article offers a philosophical and empirically based model called the ‘political moment model’ for analyzing bodily anchored political emotions in teaching and learning of the political dimension. The model was developed in response to an empirical case study where the data were somewhat confusing. In order understand the empirical data, we used parts of Mouffe’s theory of the political and various scholars’ work on political emotions and placed these aspects in a pragmatist standpoint of experience, emotions and meaning making. The model helped to investigate students’ experiences of the political dimension in situations where they experienced affection, i.e. bodily sensation, and emotions in connection with reflections and discussions about how to handle public issues of sustainable development. The article ends with a theoretical discussion of the findings in order to understand the political dimension in teaching and learning activities and to discern possible directions for future research on political moments in ESE. 相似文献

The aim of this article is to make a close case study of one teacher’s teaching in relation to established traditions within
science education in Sweden. The teacher’s manner of teaching is analysed with the help of an epistemological move analysis.
The moves made by the teacher are then compared in a context of educational philosophy and selective tradition. In the analyses
the focus is to study the process of teaching and learning in action in institutionalised and socially shared practices. The
empirical material consists of video recordings of four lessons with the same group of students and the same teacher. The
students are all in Year 7 in a Swedish 9-year compulsory school. During these lessons the students work with a subject area
called “Properties of materials”. The results show that the teacher makes a number of different moves with regard to how to
proceed and come to a conclusion about what the substances are. Many of these moves are special in that they indicate that
the students need to be able to handle the procedural level of school science. These moves do not deal directly with the knowledge
production process, but with methodological aspects. The function of the moves turns the students’ attention from one source
of knowledge to another. The moves are aimed at helping the students to help themselves, since it is through their own activity
and their own thinking that learning takes place. This is characteristic in the teacher’s manner of teaching. When compared
in a context of educational philosophy, this manner of teaching has similarities with progressentialism; a mixture of essentialism
and progressivism. This educational philosophy is a central aspect of what is called the academic tradition—a selective tradition
common in science education in Sweden between 1960 and 1990. 相似文献
