The coteaching model for teacher preparation has emerged in recent years as an alternative to the traditional student teaching
or practicum experience. Several studies have investigated the process of coteaching and its impact on participants during
the actual experience; however, few depict participants’ experiences once they obtain positions and begin to teach independently.
This collective case study explored two urban high school teachers’ (Jen and Ian) practices during the induction period after
taking part in the coteaching model for student teaching. Using a sociocultural analytic framework, we found that the participants’
agency as beginning teachers was not constrained by their coteaching experiences. Rather, they were able to continue to draw
on some of the successful practices they had in coteaching, such as shared reflection, shared responsibility, cogenerative
dialogues, and building relationships with students. In addition to describing the coherence and contradictions between Ian’s
and Jen’s practices during coteaching and in their beginning years of inservice teaching, we also discuss the ways that they
became collaborators in our ethnographic research.

This article examines the literature on Native science in order to address the presumed binaries between formal and informal
science learning and between Western and Native science. We situate this discussion within a larger discussion of culturally
responsive schooling for Indigenous youth and the importance of Indigenous epistemologies and contextualized knowledges within
Indigenous communities.

This article reviews significant contributions made by Joe L. Kincheloe to critical research in science education, especially
through a multimethodological, multitheoretical, and multidisciplinary informed lens that incorporates social, cultural, political,
economic, and cognitive dynamics—the bricolage. Kincheloe’s ideas provide for a compelling understanding of, and insights
into, the forces that shape the intricacies of teaching and learning science and science education. They have implications
in improving science education policies, in developing actions that challenge and cultivate the intellect while operating
in ways that are more understanding of difference and are socially just.

In the learning sciences, students’ understanding of scientific concepts has often been approached in terms of conceptual change. These studies are grounded in a cognitive or a socio-cognitive approach to students’ understanding and imply a focus on the
individuals’ mental representations of scientific concepts and ideas. We approach students’ conceptual change from a socio-cultural
perspective as they make new meaning in genetics. Adhering to a socio-cultural perspective, we emphasize the discursive and
interactional aspects of human learning and understanding. This perspective implies that the focus is on students’ meaning
making processes in collaborative learning activities. In the study, we conduct an analysis of a group of students’ who interact
while working to solve problems in genetics. In our analyses we emphasize four analytical aspects of the students’ meaning
making: (a) the students’ use of resources in problematizing, (b) teacher interventions, (c) changes in interactional accomplishments,
and (d) the institutional aspect of meaning making. Our findings suggest that students’ meaning making surrounding genetics
concepts relates not only to an epistemic concern but also to an interactional and an institutional concern.

In light of the widespread recognition of the enduring challenge of enhancing the learning of all students—including a growing
number of students representing diverse racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds—there has been an explosion of literature
on teaching, learning, and assessment in higher education. Notwithstanding scores of promising new ideas, individual faculty
in higher education need a dynamic and inclusive model to help them engage in a systematic and continuous process of exploring
and testing various teaching and assessment practices to ensure the learning of their students. This paper introduces a model—Teaching-for-Learning
(TFL)—developed to meet this need.

Numerous instructional design models have been proposed over the past several decades. Instead of focusing on the design process
(means), this study investigated how learners perceived the quality of instruction they experienced (ends). An electronic
survey instrument containing nine a priori scales was developed. Students responded from 89 different undergraduate and graduate
courses at multiple institutions (n = 140). Data analysis indicated strong correlations between student self-reports on academic learning time, how much they
learned, First Principles of Instruction, their satisfaction with the course, perceptions of their mastery of course objectives,
and global course ratings. Most importantly, these scales measure principles with which instructional developers and teachers
can evaluate their products and courses, regardless of design processes used: provide authentic tasks for students to do;
activate prior learning; demonstrate what is to be learned; provide repeated opportunities for students to successfully complete
authentic tasks with coaching and feedback; and help students integrate what they have learned into their personal lives.

Professional development is critical in supporting teachers’ use of technological tools in classrooms. This review of empirical
research synthesizes the effective elements of professional development programs that support science teachers in learning
about technology integration. Studies are examined that explore how professional development supports technology use within
inquiry-based and traditional science instruction. Implications for future research are discussed in four areas: understanding
and building on teachers’ beliefs about science and technology; supporting teacher learning by supporting teachers’ examination
of students’ work; using technology to support teacher communities and social networks; and sustaining teachers’ learning
beyond formal professional development programs.

Wassell and LaVan (this issue) make strong arguments about the value of coteaching as a model for learning to teach. This
response paper draws upon recent sociocultural conceptualizations of human nature and development as a process of contribution
and shared contribution to extend Wassell and LaVan’s findings about teacher learning and to further illuminate evidence of
the transformative potential of coteaching. It is argued that the beginning teachers in Wassell and LaVan’s study appropriated
the cultural practices, and ontological and epistemological stances of coteaching and used these perspectives and practices
to transform the cultures of their in-service classrooms as well as the roles and epistemic perspectives of their students.

Recently, the relationship between identity and learning has come front and center in discussions about how to design successful
learning environments for youth who struggle in mainstream institutions. In this essay, I explore the role identity development
plays in constructing learning environments for traditionally marginalized youth. While I agree with DeGennaro and Brown on
the importance of identity development for learning, I stretch the relationship between these two constructs in several ways:
First, I will argue that how we define “technology” and what that means for marginalized youth, particularly those who are
assumed to be victims of the “digital divide” is a crucial aspect of the design of successful digital learning environments.
Second, I discuss how identity is represented in these digital learning spaces, and analyze how meaning is constructed in
multimodal spaces such as websites. Finally, I reflect on DeGennaro and Brown’s notion of “emergent design,” as a positive
contribution to design research, and propose the idea of incorporating youths’ already existing competencies into the emergent
design process.

We examined how self-regulated learning (SRL) and externally-facilitated self-regulated learning (ERL) differentially affected
adolescents’ learning about the circulatory system while using hypermedia. A total of 128 middle-school and high school students
with little prior knowledge of the topic were randomly assigned to either the SRL or ERL condition. Learners in the SRL condition
regulated their own learning, while learners in the ERL condition had access to a human tutor who facilitated their self-regulated
learning. We converged product (pretest-posttest shifts in students’ mental models and declarative knowledge measures) with process (think-aloud protocols) data to examine the effectiveness of self- versus externally-facilitated regulated learning. Findings
revealed that learners in the ERL condition gained statistically significantly more declarative knowledge and that a greater
number of participants in this condition displayed a more advanced mental model on the posttest. Verbal protocol data indicated
that learners in the ERL condition regulated their learning by activating prior knowledge, engaging in several monitoring
activities, deploying several effective strategies, and engaging in adaptive help-seeking. By contrast, learners in the SRL
condition used ineffective strategies and engaged in fewer monitoring activities. Based on these findings, we present design
principles for adaptive hypermedia learning environments, engineered to foster students’ self-regulated learning about complex
and challenging science topics.

The Aid for the Development of the People by the People (ADPP), a non-governmental organization (NGO), in collaboration with
Angola’s Ministry of Education, has set up a network of secondary schools to train teachers to work in primary schools in
the rural areas of Angola. These schools, called Training Colleges for the Teachers of the Future (CTFs), are involved in
training a new type of teacher. This article discusses this educational practice, the main aim of which is to train primary
teachers to work in the rural areas where too few trained teachers are willing to be posted. The authors describe the measures
taken to better meet the needs of the rural areas in terms of teachers who have been properly trained and are motivated to
work in such an environment, and then go on to analyse the reasons underlying the success of the CTF programme, specifically
the fundamental differences from the state-run teacher training colleges, the way this new practice forms part of the overall
reform of the education system and its role in the Education for All (EFA) initiative, and the fight against poverty.

The increasing importance of schools and learning in the changing patterns of work and society is widely recognized. However,
implementing and sustaining educational reforms pose major problems in all countries. This paper briefly: (1) summarizes conceptual
trends in implementing educational change, (2) reviews the complexities of educational policy and the changing patterns of
educational governance and management common to many countries, (3) discusses the evolving roles of researchers in this shifting
environment, and (4) makes an argument for the utility of certain kinds of research and evaluation or what the author calls
‘little r,’ with particular attention directed toward the contribution of little r in developing schools as learning organizations.

This metalogue addresses the ways Sreyashi Jhumki Basu mediated our practices in science education and life. We focus on Basu’s
uses of critical science agency, democratic science classrooms, and critical feminist ethnography to transform the possibilities
for all participants in her research and educational practices. We also examine her use of cases and pedagogical strategies
to support youth set practice goals based on conceptions of self and preferred learning trajectories. These strategies allow
youth to develop power through the use of disciplinary knowledge and modes of inquiry to support their understanding of themselves
as powerful, able to change their position in the world, and make the world more socially just. This (Key Contributors) article
acknowledges a life cut short through disease, reflects our personal loss of a friend and colleague, and expresses determination
to ensure that her contributions to science education are sustained and continued.

This article presents research and narratives on the integration of course-based peer learning assistants into seven courses.
A new curricular peer mentoring program was piloted in the 2005–2006 academic year in an interdisciplinary liberal arts college
at a large Canadian research university. Undergraduate students enrolled in a practicum course which supported their learning
while they collaborated with the “host instructor” of the course in which they served as peer mentor. Assistants’ roles varied
and included individual tutoring, help via email, online discussion facilitation, small group facilitation, in-class presentation
and discussion facilitation, and extracurricular study groups. Their integration into scheduled class activities resulted
in participating students’ perception of enhanced learning. Data included peer mentors’ assignments, host instructor feedback,
and student surveys.

This paper argues that Amartya Sen’s (Development as freedom, New York: Random House, 1999) concept of “capabilities” provides a useful framework for interpreting the brokering of learning provisions that emerged
as a key feature of reforms to education and training in Queensland (Australia) for young people. Sen’s capability approach
is presented as a way of understanding the place of vocational learning in capability deprivation and enhancement. Methodologically,
this account comes from a case study of the reforms’ birthing and trial phases (2000–2006) (Harreveld and Singh 2007, Queensland’s education and training reforms for the future: the journey so far in senior phase learning. Brisbane, Qld: Department of Education, Training and the Arts). Evidence about the brokering of learning provision for young
people comes from Queensland’s youth support coordinators, community mentoring scheme, flexible learning services and a work
readiness program.

Accessing resources for identity development by urban students and teachers: foregrounding context 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
April Lynn Luehmann 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2009,4(1):51-66
Many attempt to address the documented achievement gap between urban and suburban students by offering special programs to
enrich urban students’ academic experiences and proficiencies. Such was the case in the study described by DeGennaro and Brown
in which urban students participated in an after-school technology course intended to address the “digital divide” by giving
these youth supported experiences as technology users. However, also like the initial situation described in this study, instructional
design that does not capitalize on what we know about urban education or informal learning contexts can actually further damage
urban youths’ identities as learners by positioning them as powerless and passive recipients instead of meaningful contributors
to their own learning. The analysis presented in this forum is intended to further the conversation begun by DeGennaro and
Brown by explicitly complexifying our consideration of context (activity structures and setting) so as to support the development
of contexts that afford rich learning potential for both the urban students and their learning facilitators, positioned in
the role of teachers. Carefully constructed contexts can afford participants as learners (urban students and teachers) opportunities to access rich identity resources (not typically available in traditional school contexts) including,
but not limited to, the opportunity to exercise agency that allows participants to reorganize their learning context and enacted
culture as needed.

This exploratory study examines the learning beliefs of high and low achieving, low-income Mexican-American students. Semi-structured
interviews were conducted with 11 ninth grade students. The qualitative analysis shows that students’ perceptions of their
teachers’ expectations of a “good” student or a “not so good” student did not differ along achievement lines. However, the
students’ perceptions about what it means to be a good student differentiated the low-achievers from the high-achievers. This
study’s findings may be used to inform educators about Mexican-American students’ orientation towards school and learning,
in hopes for creating more equitable educational settings where all students achieve to their fullest potential.

Teachers’ implementation of a problem-based learning (PBL) program was examined to determine both how they assessed student
learning and their reasons for these assessment practices. Ten 6th grade science teachers used Alien Rescue, a computer-based
PBL module, with their students for approximately three weeks. Interviews, observations, and teacher-developed artifacts were
analyzed qualitatively. The results suggest that assessment-related issues impacted the way that teachers implemented this
PBL program, with teachers using grades as extrinsic motivators, deemphasizing PBL’ usual focus on student reflection on their
process and solutions, and adding assignments to the PBL program in order to provide greater structure for students’ process
and help prepare them for standardized tests. Some of these adaptations conflict with practices typically advocated in the
literature on PBL. The implications of these results for the design of PBL programs are discussed, with an emphasis on supporting
teachers’ (a) local adaptations of PBL materials and (b) professional development through educative components embedded in
PBL programs.
