Bringing the Classroom to the Web: Effects of Using New Technologies to Capture and Deliver Lectures
Technology expands instructional options for faculty, and this study examines the differential learning effects of offering
a lecture on physics to students in a traditional classroom versus internet video formats. Based on an experiment conducted
in a natural educational context, results indicate enhanced transfer of lecture information in the video formats relative
to the live condition, with students also responding more positively to personalized video presentation.

More than a conversation: using cogenerative dialogues in the professional development of high school chemistry teachers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Sonya N. Martin Kathryn Scantlebury 《Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability》2009,21(2):119-136
This paper focuses on content-based and pedagogical instructors’ use of cogenerative dialogues to improve instructional practice
and to evaluate program effectiveness in a professional development program for high school chemistry teachers. We share our
research findings from using cogenerative dialogues as an evaluative tool for general assessment of various program-related
issues. We discuss how engaging students in cogenerative dialogues improved teaching and learning in chemistry and chemistry
education courses. This research provides insights and direction for improving content-based professional development programs
for science teachers and the learning experiences of high school science students. Cogenerative dialogue has the potential
to expand evaluation methodologies that will position participants more centrally in not only the collection of data, but
also the analysis of these data to catalyze transformative practices in educational programs.

The purpose of this paper is to present data demonstrating the potential efficacy of Personal Learning Plans (PLPs) as an
instructional tool in early childhood teacher preparation. One hundred and thirty-nine undergraduate students enrolled in
an introductory course offered within a unified early childhood education program over a period of four years completed preliminary
and final surveys including items on student background, efficacy of course methods, and student learning style and outcomes.
Data related to the PLP and other, more didactic, methods used in the target course are presented. A general conclusion that
can be drawn from these data is that students believed the PLP method to be no less effective than other methods relative
to some indicators and significantly more effective than other methods relative to other indicators. Results are discussed
in terms of self-efficacy theory.

This article reports on the development of a methodology that integrates virtual and hands-on inquiry in a freshman introductory
biology course. Using a two time × two order-condition design, an effective combination (blend) of the two environments was
evaluated with 39 freshman biology participants. The quantitative results documented no significant effect of presentation
order but demonstrated a significant effect of the combined learning experience. The qualitative results showed a strong preference
by students for the virtual work preceding the hands-on laboratory. The study provides practitioners an effective alternative
to traditional instructional practices by combining virtual and hands-on inquiry learning.

The doctoral advisor is said to be one of the most important persons—if not the single most critical person—with whom doctoral students will develop a relationship during their doctoral degree programs
(Baird 1995). However, we have limited knowledge regarding how doctoral advisors see their roles and responsibilities as advisors. Therefore,
through in-depth interviews, we explored the perceptions of 25 exemplary doctoral advisors, who have graduated a large number
of doctoral students, about their roles and responsibilities as advisors. We conclude this article with implications for doctoral
education.

This research examines students’ ability to integrate algebraic variables with arithmetic operations and symbols as a result
of the type of instruction they received, and places their work on scales that illustrate its location on the continuum from
arithmetic to algebraic reasoning. It presents data from pre and post instruction clinical interviews administered to a sample
of middle school students experiencing their first exposure to formal pre-algebra. Roughly half of the sample (n = 15) was taught with a standards-based curriculum emphasizing representation skills, while a comparable group (n = 12) of students received traditional instruction. Analysis of the pre and post interviews indicated that participants receiving
a standards-based curriculum demonstrated more frequent and sophisticated usage of variables when writing equations to model
word problems of varying complexity. This advantage was attenuated on problems that provided more representational support
in which a diagram with a variable was presented with the request that an expression be written to represent the perimeter
and area. Differences in strategies used by the two groups suggest that the traditional curriculum encouraged students to
continue using arithmetic conventions, such as focusing on finding specific values, when asked to model relations with algebraic
notation.

In the mathematics education literature, there is currently a debate about the mechanisms by which group discussion can contribute
to mathematical learning and under what conditions this learning is likely to occur. In this paper, we contribute to this
debate by illustrating three learning opportunities that group discussions can create. In analyzing a videotaped episode of
eight middle school students discussing a statistical problem, we observed that these students frequently challenged the arguments
that their colleagues presented. These challenges invited students to be explicit about what mathematical principles, or warrants,
they were implicitly using as a basis for their mathematical claims, in some cases recognize the modes of reasoning they were
using were invalid and reject these modes of reasoning, and in other cases, attempt to provide deductive support to justify
why their modes of reasoning were appropriate. We then describe what social and environmental conditions allowed the discussion
analyzed in this paper to occur.

Dr. Sreyashi Jhumki Basu was a scholar committed to equity and social justice in science education who passed away in December
2008. In this essay, I describe Jhumki’s research and the call to action her life’s work has laid out for the science education
community. In particular, I draw attention to the role of critical science agency in learning and the democratic science pedagogy
model that Jhumki developed to support students in crafting such agency.

Increasing numbers of Spanish-speaking preschool children require attention to improve the likelihood of success in school.
This study, part of a larger 2-year ethnographic study of a Head Start classroom, elaborates the role of teachers’ interactions
with students who were learning English. Using an interactional ethnography approach, the authors focus on the social nature
of these interactions. The study illuminates the kinds of teacher interactions with students that support and hinder the students’
language learning. It reinforces the importance of student engagement in social interactions with teachers and with English
other than codes of obedience and authority. Finally, it recommends actions teachers can take to provide optimal circumstances
for English learning interactions for students.

Twenty-two faculty and graduate students were interviewed in one college of education in order to understand what the college
and its constituents view as the skills, habits of mind, and dispositions needed to obtain a Ph.D. in Education. Analysis
of the data was conducted using professional socialization as a theoretical framework, allowing for an understanding of the
different perspectives of this topic as viewed through a developmental lens. Implications for theory and practice are included.

A study on classroom based training of self-regulated learning was conducted with fourth grade pupils attending German public
schools. The participating classes were assigned randomly to either a training group or a control group. The pupils in the
training group received 5 weeks of training, as depicted by Zimmerman, Bonner, & Kovach (American Educational Research Journal
31:845-862 1996), during normal classroom instruction and homework activities. Training effects were confirmed for various skills associated
with self-regulation, motivation and performance. By reviewing the solution rates to daily assignments with the help of hierarchical
linear models, a linear growth in the solution rates over the course of the 5 weeks was proven, which weakened towards the
end of the training. Significant differences in the growth rates among the students were also confirmed. Skills in time management,
learning goal orientation and self-efficacy that were evidenced by the students prior to the training proved to be able to
explain variances among the growth curves.

How Much Have They Retained? Making Unseen Concepts Seen in a Freshman Electromagnetism Course at MIT 总被引：4，自引：4，他引：0

The introductory freshmen electromagnetism course at MIT has been taught since 2000 using a studio physics format entitled
TEAL—Technology Enabled Active Learning. TEAL has created a collaborative, hands-on environment where students carry out desktop
experiments, submit web-based assignments, and have access to a host of visualizations and simulations. These learning tools
help them visualize unseen electromagnetic concepts and develop stronger intuition about related phenomena. A previous study
has shown that students who took the course in the TEAL format (the experimental group) gained significantly better conceptual
understanding than those who took it in the traditional lecture-recitation format (the control group). The present longitudinal
study focuses on the extent to which these two research groups (experimental and control) retain conceptual understanding
about a year to 18 months after finishing the course. It also examines students attitudes about whether the teaching format
(TEAL or traditional) contributes to their learning in advanced courses. Our research has indicated that the long-term effect
of the TEAL course on students’ retention of concepts was significantly stronger than that of the traditional course. This
research is significant because it documents the long-term cognitive and affective impact of the TEAL studio physics format
on learning outcomes of MIT students.

Representatives from more than 20 institutions making up a research and teaching network met to discuss and investigate a
web application designed to promote knowledge sharing and understanding. The web application, called Fieldtrip, enables students,
professors and researchers to virtually share their experiences and findings from real field trips. This study investigates
how professors from the network conceived Fieldtrip and their approach to designing and teaching student learning experiences
using it. Results show that the professors had divergent understandings of the potential of the web application, and that
qualitatively better ways of conceiving Fieldtrip were related to more robust approaches to design for learning and teaching.
The implications of this study as an exploration into professor experiences of web applications are important if universities
wish to make the best use of technologies in learning for their students and professors.

From 1980 to 1995, the University of Western Sydney at Hawkesbury (formerly Hawkesbury Agricultural College) in Richmond,
New South Wales, Australia, pioneered an innovative undergraduate degree in Systems Agriculture based on experiential education,
systems thinking, and adult learning theory. Today this program is in trouble and has reverted back to a more traditional
teacher-directed approach. This article discusses the rise of the innovative education paradigm at Hawkesbury, the unique
Systems Agriculture program itself, and its eventual decline. Reasons for both the shift to innovative education and its eventual
downfall are explored. Implications for institutions of higher education contemplating innovative educational approaches are
suggested.

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.

In interviews with over 250 urban young adolescents, many students make it clear that they are acutely aware of the educational
inequities that exist in their schools and that these inequities are having a negative impact on their education. Student
voice is used to highlight urban middle school students’ perspectives on the quality of their education particularly in terms
of curricular issues, teacher quality, and lack of resources.

This qualitative study examines the collaboration and leadership practice that influences the education of homeless students
in a large Mid-Atlantic city. The perspectives of administrators and staff members from three homeless shelters are analyzed
with insights from Spillane’s (Distributed leadership, 2006) distributed leadership theory. Findings from the study indicate
that differences in shelter and school structures and cultures present significant obstacles to productive communication that
would facilitate homeless children’s schooling. Several structural and programmatic recommendations are made towards developing
more effective leadership practice among schools and shelters.

As state-level merit-based financial aid programs proliferate, analysts both find that these programs have a disproportionate
effect on students traditionally under-represented in postsecondary education and question the use of limited public resources
in an inefficient and inequitable manner. This study, using survey data regarding the perceptions of all potentially eligible
scholarship recipients, explores the impact the Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship on college access for minority and
low-income students. The empirical results indicate that African American and low-income students are more likely to perceive
their eligibility for merit-based scholarships as having an impact on their decision on whether or not to attend college.
A consequential policy implication is that a liberally awarded merit-based scholarship program, while inefficient, may provide
sustainable access for those students in greatest need of financial aid.

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.
