Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins tells the archetypal story of the young, virgin, orphan girl who is vulnerable to either debauchery or rescue. That such
a girl must succumb to either one or the other is a necessary element of the archetype. In O’Dell’s work—one intended, after
all, for children—the heroine is rescued by a paternalistic figure and re-inscribed into the patriarchal world. Yet, in the
hands of young readers, Island—part fairytale, part rescue narrative, part feminist parable—becomes a story of independence and survival, despite the heroine’s
“rescue” at the end.

This article explores how incarcerated youth and adult supervisors contest claims to identity via language of “representing”.
Comparing how youth and adults “represent” in discussions of their own past and future selves sheds light on the constrained
universe of discourse within which both groups work to express identities and on the basis of which we counsel, mentor, and
educate young people. Acknowledging these constraints can contribute to understanding what I call exceptionalism—the idea that only exceptional poor and raced young men, through great personal effort and sacrifice, may resist the lure
of the “street”. I conclude by discussing implications of this work for education and youth development work both inside and
beyond the juvenile justice system as well as for research across lines of difference by committed “outsiders”.

The first author, a student in a graduate children’s literature class, designed a project to locate “good” mathematics-based
children’s literature selections. However, the reference tools usually consulted (e.g., Books in Print) to locate books by topic were of little help, and those she located under individual mathematics topics were mostly traditional
mathematics books rather than good read-aloud selections. Consequently, she perused the university library’s sizeable juvenile
collection to find books that would meet her selection criteria. This article describes the influence of two landmark documents
for mathematics teaching and learning—Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], 1989) and Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000)—as she engaged in the process.

A recent controversy in the USA centres on classroom use of Yoko Kawashima Watkins’s semi-autobiographical So Far from the Bamboo Grove (1986), a novel focused on the flight of Japanese settler families to Japan after the liberation of Korea at the end of World
War II. Taught in a literary and historical vacuum under the thematic umbrella of “courage and survival,” the novel has been
criticised as an example of “perpetrator as victim” representation. Because of its assumed high “truth value,” life-writing
positions itself very specifically as a narrative of a “witness” recounting her story. The resultant authentication of suffering
may thereby render issues of historicity effectively irrelevant. Diverse interpretative communities may thus read the novel
in incompatible ways.

This article examines three novels which use stories of elves—especially the ballad “Tam Lin”—as pre-texts, and contemplates
how they explore the issue of Otherness. The three novels are The Sterkarm Handshake by Susan Price, Cold Tom by Sally Prue, and Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones. Although the novels seem to be about elves as Other, they can be read as observations on human nature
and human relationships. The article speculates on how encounters with the Other illuminate what humans are like and how these
contacts affect the human characters by making them see themselves in a different light.

Internet-mediated joint suicides or “Net group suicides” (Net shinjū) has become a significant social problem in Japan since 2002. Despite a privileged view of suicide-related cyberspaces as
a murky underworld, there has been little study about how the participants of such spaces interact and perform their “suicidal”
identity. Viewing cyberspace as a unique discursive playground that sprouts a myriad of transgressive narratives, this paper
examines “Suicide Club” (Jisatsu Club) an online discussion forum that facilitated the largest “Net group suicide” in Japanese history. A thematic content analysis
of actual postings on “Suicide Club” reveals the double-edged nature of the forum. While some participants were determined
to seek suicide companions or what I metaphorically call “suicide machines,” others used the board as a social outlet to freely
disclose their pent-up struggles, attempting to collectively transgress social taboos of suicide.

This article argues that Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials may be read as a series which attempts to assault the Christian doctrine of God. We believe that this demonstrably accords with Pullman’s personal views, and that, through his story, he seeks to foster such views in his readership. However, the accuracy of his attack falls short of its intended mark when it is examined alongside classical Christian theology. The Authority which Pullman’s narrative destroys is actually more akin to the Christian view of the devil than he is the divine, and the victories of Will and Lyra—as a new Adam and Eve—have strong resemblances to the victories which Christianity claims for Christ and Mary. Pullman’s narrative, therefore, becomes an inversion of his deicidal intention rather than an inverting and revolutionary destruction of theology.

Policy makers and leadership developers now admonish both aspiring and practicing educational leaders to base what they do
on evidence of “best practice”. Some argue, however, that today’s best practices stand a reasonably good chance of being unsuitable
for schools in the future. Unfortunately, effective leadership in future schools is empirically unknowable. This paper unpacks
the arguments about “best” and “next” practices concluding that there is an empirically defensible foundation for current
and future leaders.

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 essay calls for a fresh critical approach to the topic of censorship, suggesting that anticensorship efforts, while important
and necessary, function much like literary prizing. The analysis draws especially on James English’s recent study The Economy of Prestige. There are two central arguments: first, that the librarian ethic of “selection”––introduced by Lester Asheim in 1953 as
a counterpoint to censorship––has contributed to the unfortunate construction of the censor as a “moron”; and second, that
anticensorship efforts more generally tend toward uncritical canon-making, attributing value to books simply because they’ve
been censored or (more typically) challenged.

The goal of this article is to present a sketch of what, following the German social theorist Arnold Gehlen, may be termed
“sensuous cognition.” The starting point of this alternative approach to classical mental-oriented views of cognition is a
multimodal “material” conception of thinking. The very texture of thinking, it is suggested, cannot be reduced to that of
impalpable ideas; it is instead made up of speech, gestures, and our actual actions with cultural artifacts (signs, objects,
etc.). As illustrated through an example from a Grade 10 mathematics lesson, thinking does not occur solely in the head but also in and through a sophisticated semiotic coordination of speech, body, gestures, symbols and tools.

Literature that vividly and explicitly describes (often in the form of testimonies from one or more characters) traumatic
and/or catastrophic events of human history poses particular challenges for readers. This article proposes testimonial response as one approach to responding to these “risky historical texts.” By way of introducing testimonial response, the article
outlines a three-part framework. After considering how testimonial response extends and complements other traditional approaches
to literature response to give readers a fuller experience of risky historical literature, the article applies the framework
of testimonial response to the picture book, From Slave Ship to Freedom Road. The article concludes with implications for bringing risky historical literature and testimonial response into the classroom.

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.

This article considers J.M. Barrie’s satirical treatment of the Platonic doctrine of reminiscence in Peter Pan, and how Barrie’s work both honors and undercuts it. It will first analyze the Platonic notion of the doctrine of reminiscence in Wordsworth’s “Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood” (1807). It will then show its influence on Victorian literature in the depiction of the exalted perception and moral purity of children, and how Barrie satirizes these ideals by underscoring the ignorance and savage qualities of the children in Peter Pan. The essay will also explore the portrayal of the Eden of childhood in Wordsworth’s poem (as influenced by Plato), and how Barrie subverts this utopia by presenting a dystopic world where Darwinian principles rule. Like Darwin, Barrie argues for a natural rather than a divine origin of species and demonstrates the struggle for existence in a profoundly disturbing way. Finally, the essay will contemplate the subject of immortality and how, far from being an idealized condition as in Wordsworth’s poetry, it is a far more ambivalent state in Peter Pan.

Ideological differences in a writing class evoke the passion of political sensitivities. A graduate student tells of “coming
out” as a pro-life advocate in an essay before his feminist classmates and professor. The exchange created instant and irreconcilable
enemies, but he also found some unexpected support from a hesitant voice within that classroom.

In this commentary on Brayboy and Castagno’s paper, published in this volume, we discuss, on the one hand, many points of
agreement between their proposal of culturally responsive schooling for indigenous youth and El-Hani and Mortimer’s proposal
of culturally-sensitive science education. On the other hand, we focus on a key disagreement, not only with Brayboy and Castagno,
but with a whole body of literature on multicultural, postcolonialist, postmodernist education. The main point of disagreement
lies in the fact that we are not sure that to broaden the concept of science so as to talk about “native science” or “indigenous
science” is indeed the best strategy to attain a goal that we wholeheartedly share with Brayboy and Castagno, to value other
ways of knowing for their own sake, validity, and legitimacy.

The motivation and methodology for measuring intelligence have changed repeatedly in the modern history of large-scale student
testing. Test makers have always sought to identify raw aptitude for cultivation, but they have never figured out how to promote
excellence while preserving equality. They’ve settled for egalitarianism, which gives rise to “culturally fair” tests that
substitute vagaries for knowledge, deprive students of any real appreciation for language, and trivialize education. Robert
Jackson yearns for traditional oratorical approaches to schooling that venerate and imitate essential, time-tested masters.
Unfortunately, he writes, such an education defies measurement with today’s multiple-choice instruments.

The notion of historical “parallelism” revisited: historical evolution and students’ conception of the order relation on the number line 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
This paper associates the findings of a historical study with those of an empirical one with 16 years-old students (1st year
of the Greek Lyceum). It aims at examining critically the much-discussed and controversial relation between the historical
evolution of mathematical concepts and the process of their teaching and learning. The paper deals with the order relation
on the number line and the algebra of inequalities, trying to elucidate the development and functioning of this knowledge
both in the world of scholarly mathematical activity and the world of teaching and learning mathematics in secondary education.
This twofold analysis reveals that the old idea of a “parallelism” between history and pedagogy of mathematics has a subtle
nature with at least two different aspects (metaphorically named “positive” and “negative”), which are worth further exploration.
