Wolff-Michael Roth 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2008,3(4):891-916
The ongoing globalization leads to an increasing scattering of cultural groups into other cultural groups where they the latter
continue to be affiliated with one another thereby forming diasporic identities. Diasporic identities emerge from a process
of cultural bricolage that leads to cultural métissage and therefore hybridity and heterogeneity. To escape the hegemonies
that arise from the ontology of the same—which, as I show, undergirds much of educational thought—I ground the notion of diaspora in the ontology of difference. Difference
and heterogeneity are the norm, not something less than sameness and purity. This ontology allows framing bricolage, métissage,
hybridity, and heterogeneity as positive concepts for theorizing the experiences of learning science and identity not only as a consequence of cross-national migrations—Mexicans
in the US, Asians and Europeans in Canada, Africans in Europe—but also the experience of native speakers who, in science classrooms,
find themselves (temporarily) at home away from home. My exemplary analyses show how the very fact of cultural and linguistic
differences within themselves gives rise to the possibility of symbolic violence in science classrooms even to those whose
ethos is or is closest to the one at the heart of science.

Wolff-Michael Roth 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2008,3(2):373-385
There are some fundamental—i.e., essential—differences between conceptual change theory and a rigorously applied discourse approach to the question of what and how
people know. In this rejoinder, I suggest that the differences are paradigmatic because, among others, the units of analysis
used and the data constructed are irreconcilably different. I now have abandoned my hopes for a collaborative extension of
the two approaches, which I articulated not so long ago. I conclude that as alternative paradigms, conceptual change and discursive
approaches will co-exist until one of them dies with its proponents.

Andrée Tiberghien 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2008,3(2):283-295
This commentary on Roth, Lee, and Hwang’s paper aims at analysing their theoretical approach in terms of its object of study,
and the aspects that are brought to the fore, like the cultural activity of conversation, and those that are overshadowed,
like the role of the material world and its perception on learning. This analysis, developed on the basis of a pragmatic approach
that combines theoretical frameworks, leads to a debate about the relevant components of teaching–learning situations according
to the theoretical approaches, and the extent to which, due to the complexity of the studied phenomena, some theoretical frameworks
are complementary or concurrent.

In this study, we propose a set of concepts for conceptualizing issues of learning science related to globalization, the encounter
with the (radically) foreign/strange—as this occurs as part of migration and even as part of the encounter of a learner with
the unknown content that science lessons are to impart—from the perspective of the experiencing person and the experience.
We take an approach to the question of the foreign/strange that is grounded in philosophies of difference, which have emerged
in continental Europe, and which make use of advances in phenomenology, dialectics, and materialism. We draw on ethnographic
work in one undergraduate physics course at a Canadian university, where we followed in particular one female Japanese student,
who had come to this country for the purpose of getting a degree. As an entry point and as source of empirical materials,
we draw on our own auto/ethnographic experience that brings particular advantages to ally pathos to the experience of the
foreign/strange, something is happening to (affecting) us that is beyond all experience, understanding, and anticipation.
We articulate three phenomenological aspects that pathos (empathy) allows us to understand concerning the experience of the
foreign/strange and then provide an exemplary and exemplifying analysis.

Yew-Jin Lee 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2008,3(4):917-935
The radical philosophies of difference articulated by Deleuze and Guattari are just beginning to impinge the field of education
although less so within science education. One common thread among the numerous concepts and neologisms (especially the rhizome)
that have been coined is the necessity for thinking and acting in what they call ‘experimental’ modes, which shifts our focus
onto the eternal process of becoming rather than merely (re)producing states of being. I reflect upon these seemingly utopian
ideas in the light of recent educational changes in Singapore aimed at preparing competent citizen–workers for the knowledge
economy and globalization. In particular, this paper shows how one elementary science teacher adopted guerilla tactics while
negotiating these sometimes conflicting transitions in policies. I argue that neither mandated, top-down reforms nor drastic
experimentation by individuals alone are most productive but rather working in the ephemeral in-between spaces of the rhizome,
which Deleuze and Guattari had all long championed.

Bringing a greater number of students into science is one of, if not the most fundamental goals of science education for all, especially for heretofore-neglected groups of society such as women and Aboriginal students. Providing students with opportunities
to experience how science really is enacted—i.e., authentic science—has been advocated as an important means to allow students to know and learn about science. The purpose of this paper is
to problematize how “authentic” science experiences may mediate students’ orientations towards science and scientific career
choices. Based on a larger ethnographic study, we present the case of an Aboriginal student who engaged in a scientific internship
program. We draw on cultural–historical activity theory to understand the intersection between science as practice and the
mundane practices in which students participate as part of their daily lives. Following Brad, we articulate our understanding
of the ways in which he hybridized the various mundane and scientific practices that intersected in and through his participation
and by which he realized his cultural identity as an Aboriginal. Mediated by this hybridization, we observe changes in his
orientation towards science and his career choices. We use this case study to revisit methodological implications for understanding
the role of “authentic science experiences” in science education.

This article reviews the significance of the contributions of Ernst von Glasersfeld to research in science education, especially
through his theoretical contributions on radical constructivism. As a field shaper, Glasersfeld’s subversive ideas catalyzed
debate in the science education community and fuelled transformation of many facets including research methods, ways of thinking
about teaching and learning, curriculum, and science teacher education. Perturbations emanating from the debates on constructivism
forged new pathways that led to the development and use of many of the sociocultural frameworks employed by authors in Cultural
Studies of Science Education.

Compatibility between cultural studies and conceptual change in science education: there is more to acknowledge than to fight straw men! 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this response, we attempt to clarify our position on conceptual change, state our position on mental models being a viable
construct to represent learning, indicate important issues from the social cultural perspective that can inform our work on
conceptual change and lastly comment on issues that we consider to be straw men. Above all we argue that there is no best
theory of teaching and learning and argue for a multiple perspective approach to understanding science teaching and learning.

This article arises from a study whose overall purpose was to investigate the relationship between Colombian mathematics teachers’
conceptions of beginning algebra and their conceptions of their own teaching practices. The teachers’ understandings of their teaching practices were explored with a view to unravelling their
conceptions of change in their teaching. Focusing on the perspectives of teachers afforded opportunities that exposed the
powerful role that the teachers’ conceptions of social/institutional factors of teaching played in their conceptions of their
practices. The degree to which the teachers attributed these (external) factors as crucial reasons for what they do in their
teaching was the basis of a categorisation of their conceptions of the crucial determinants of their teaching practices into
three types. The findings are particularly relevant to our understanding of the stability of mathematics teaching approaches
in the Colombian context but have likely implications for a range of international education contexts. Specific implications
for the development of the research into teachers’ conceptions of mathematics and its teaching, and for teacher education
programmes are presented.

Recent feminist philosophers of science have argued that feminist values can contribute to rational decisions about which
scientific theories to accept. On this view, increasing the number of feminist scientists is important for ensuring rational
and objective theory acceptance. The Underdetermination Thesis has played a key role in arguments for this view [Anderson
(1995) Hypatia 10(3), 50–84; Hankinson Nelson (1990) Who knows? From Quine to a feminist empiricism. Temple University Press, Philadelphia; Longino (1990) Science as social knowledge. Princeton University Press, Princeton; Longino (2002) The fate of knowledge. Princeton University Press, Princeton; Kourany (2003) Philosophy of Science 70, 1–14]. This thesis is alleged to open an argumentative “gap” between evidence and theory acceptance and provide a rationale
for filling the gap with feminist values. While I agree with the conclusion that feminist values can contribute to rational
decisions about which theories to accept, I argue that the Underdetermination Thesis cannot support this claim. First, using
earlier arguments [Laudan (1990) in: R. Giere (ed) Minnesota studies in the philosophy of science, vol 14, pp 267–297; Slezak (1991) International Studies in Philosophy of Science 5, 241–256; Pinnick (1994) Philosophy of Science 61, 664–657] I show that Underdetermination cannot, by itself, establish that feminist values should fill the gap in theory
acceptance. Secondly, I argue that the very use of the Underdetermination Thesis concedes that feminist values are extra-scientific,
a-rational, factors in theory acceptance. This concession denies feminists grounds to explain why their values contribute
to rational scientific reasoning. Finally, I propose two alternative ways to explain how feminist values can contribute to
rational theory acceptance that do not rely on Underdetermination.

This paper asks what is necessary in a theory of science adequate to the task of empowering philosophers of science to participate
in public debate about science in a social context. It is argued that an adequate theory of science must be capable of theorizing
the role of values and motives in science and that it must take seriously the irreducibly social nature of scientific knowledge.

Ali Sammel 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2009,4(3):649-656
This paper provides another way to gaze upon Brad’s story as presented by van Eijck and Roth (2010). It raises questions about
infrastructural racism in contemporary science education by exploring its association with Whiteness and White privilege.
To explore the racial positioning inherent in Western science education specific attention is given to the positions of power
that accompany Western ways of knowing the world (i.e., science education) in comparison to Other ways of knowing the world
(i.e., First Nations Ways of Knowing). The paper suggests the power relationships inherent within this dualism are asymmetrical
due to the implications of Whiteness within colonial societies. Even though power relations were not discussed in Brad’s story,
the paper suggests the implications were visible. The paper concludes by advocating for a re-imagining in science education
where the traditional ontological and epistemological foundations are deconstructed and spaces are created for enacting practical
ways of resisting oppression.
Alison Sammel received her doctorate in 2005 for a study that used critical theory and feminist poststructuralism to analyze how five science teachers believed they incorporated critical forms of pedagogy in their high school science classrooms. Intrigued by the social construction of the ‘Western science teacher’ she continues to explore the teaching and learning of Science through the lens of feminist poststructuralism. Alison currently teaches at the School of Education and Professional Studies at Griffith University on the Gold Coast and researches in the fields of Science and Anti-oppressive pedagogies. 相似文献

Results of various studies suggest that multimedia ‘case methods’ (activities associated with case documentaries) have many
benefits in university-based teacher education contexts. They can, for example, help to ‘bridge the gap’ between perspectives
and practices held by academic teacher educators and those held by student-teachers – who may adhere to perspectives and practices
commonly supported in schools. On the other hand, some studies, along with theoretical arguments, suggest that there are limits
to the effectiveness of multimedia case methods – because, for example, they can never fully represent realities of teaching
and learning in schools. Furthermore, often missing from multimedia case methods is the student-teacher in the role of teacher. To address these concerns, we modified an existing multimedia case method by associating it with a special practice teaching
situation in a school context. Qualitative data analyzed using constant comparative methods suggest that student-teachers
engaged in this modified multimedia case method developed relatively deep commitments to encouraging students to conduct technology
design projects – a non-traditional practice in school science. Factors that appeared to influence development of this motivation
included student-teachers’ pre-instructional perspectives about science and the personalization and contextualization inherent
to the modified multimedia case method.

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.

Postcolonial foldings of space and identity in science education: limits, transformations, prospects
The four essays reviewed here constitute a worthwhile attempt to discuss various aspects of postcolonial theory, and offer
constructive ideas to ongoing academic as well as public conversations with respect to whether science education can meet
the challenges of educating an increasingly diverse population in the 21st century. These essays are grounded in the assumption
that it is difficult to make meaningful and transformative changes in science education so that educators’ efforts take into
consideration the dramatic changes (i.e., diverse culture and racial origins, language, economic status etc.) of ‘an era of
globalization’ in order to meet the demands of today’s schools. Each of these four essays problematizes various aspects of
the social and cultural conditions of science education nowadays using different ‘postcolonial’ ideas to interpret the implications
for science learning and teaching. Although the term ‘postcolonial’ has certainly multiple meanings in the literature, we
use this term here to describe the philosophical position of these essays to challenge long-standing and hegemonic practices
and taken-for-granted assumptions in science education. Through critical analysis of these essays, we engage in a dialogue
with the authors, focusing on two of what seem crucial issues in understanding the potential contributions as well as the
risks of postcolonial concepts in science education; these issues are space and identity. We choose these issues because they permeate all four essays in interesting and often provocative ways.

Nondeterminism is a fundamental concept in computer science that appears in various contexts such as automata theory, algorithms
and concurrent computation. We present a taxonomy of the different ways that nondeterminism can be defined and used; the categories
of the taxonomy are domain, nature, implementation, consistency, execution and semantics. An historical survey shows how the
concept was developed from its inception by Rabin & Scott, Floyd and Dijkstra, as well as the interplay between nondeterminism
and concurrency. Computer science textbooks and pedagogical software are surveyed to determine how they present the concept;
the results show that the treatment of nondeterminism is generally fragmentary and unsystematic. We conclude that the teaching
of nondeterminism must be integrated through the computer science curriculum so that students learn to see nondeterminism
both in terms of abstract mathematical entities and in terms of machines whose execution is unpredictable.
