The whole mode of Galileo’s discovery of the Law of Inertia is an excellent exemplar of the Nature of Science. The law can,
moreover be shown to be a direct consequence of the hypothesis that space is homogeneous and isotropic and time is homogeneous

The incidence of extramural collaboration in academic research activities is increasing as a result of various factors. These
factors include policy measures aimed at fostering partnership and networking among the various components of the research
system, policies which are in turn justified by the idea that knowledge sharing could increase the effectiveness of the system.
Over the last two decades, the scientific community has also stepped up activities to assess the actual impact of collaboration
intensity on the performance of research systems. This study draws on a number of empirical analyses, with the intention of
measuring the effects of extramural collaboration on research performance and, indirectly, verifying the legitimacy of policies
that support this type of collaboration. The analysis focuses on the Italian academic research system. The aim of the work
is to assess the level of correlation, at institutional level, between scientific productivity and collaboration intensity
as a whole, both internationally and with private organizations. This will be carried out using a bibliometric type of approach,
which equates collaboration with the co-authorship of scientific publications.

This article reviews recent evaluation studies of online learning communities to provide a systematic understanding of how
such communities are evaluated. Forty-two representative studies were selected and categorized into a newly developed taxonomy
of online learning community evaluations. This taxonomy is divided into four components: evaluation purpose, evaluation approach,
measures for evaluation, and evaluation techniques. The findings suggest that it is inappropriate to conceptualize evaluation
of such communities as a one-size-fits-all, generalizable measure of “good” or “bad.” Instead, we recommend a comprehensive,
on-going, diagnostic approach to measuring clusters of indicators, or syndromes, of a particular OLC and examining the causal relation assumed by the evaluators between what is measured and the success
of OLC as an imputed outcome.

The measurement of online self-regulation processes is a very important issue and in this rejoinder to Ainley and Patrick (this issue) I am arguing that including measures of metacognitive experiences, in conjunction with measures of other affective experiences, in various phases of task processing can increase the reliability and validity of online measures and our understanding of the self-regulation process. Furthermore, behavioral and performance measures as well as thinking aloud protocols can enrich not only the reliability and validity of our measures but also our awareness of the factors involved in the formation of the various facets of subjective experiences, be it affective or metacognitive.

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.

Developing a communal identity as beginning teachers of mathematics: Emergence of an online community of practice 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The aim of this study is to investigate how a community of practice focused on becoming a teacher of secondary school mathematics
emerged during a pre-service teacher education programme and was sustained after students graduated and began their first
year of full-time teaching in schools. Bulletin board discussions of one pre-service cohort are analysed in terms of Wenger’s
(1998) three defining features of a community of practice: mutual engagement of participants, negotiation of a joint enterprise,
and development of a shared repertoire for creating meaning. Emergence of the online community was associated with our own
role in facilitating professional dialogue, the voluntary and unstructured nature of participation, initial face-to-face interaction
that created familiarity and trust, and the convenience of using email rather than logging on to a website. The study shows
that the emergent design of the community contributed to its sustainability in allowing the pre-service and beginning teachers
to define their own professional goals and values.

Coursework masters degrees in Australia have experienced rapid, decentralised growth since deregulation at the end of the
1980s. The result is an extraordinarily high level of diversity and some confusion as to standards, strategic positioning,
purpose and educational approaches. Throughout this period of growth, a sense that large-scale (often distance-education based)
collaboration between universities and with industry would be beneficial has not always led to successful outcomes. Using
a new collaborative, industry-funded postgraduate coursework program as a case study, this paper describes the issues that
decision-makers need to address and evaluates the challenges and benefits of the coursework masters in higher education. The
outcomes of industry surveys, student interviews and action research suggest that postgraduate coursework can facilitate technology
transfer and aid capacity building, through mechanisms similar to ‘mode 2’ research. With some additional systems to ensure
sustainability and standards, this could position coursework masters to be uniquely valuable nationally.

Since many teachers and students recognize other kinds of knowledge (faith) based on other ways of knowing, consideration
of these realities is appropriate for the science education community. Understanding the multitude of ways that clergy view
relationships between science and faith (i.e. alternative ways of knowing) would assist in understanding various ways that
people address complex issues arising from ideas about science and faith. We administered a questionnaire composed of multiple-choice
and short answer items to 63 United Methodist ministers. Findings included (1) that formal, organized faith contexts (e.g.
church services) serve as informal science education opportunities, (2) participants demonstrated considerable diversity regarding
the types of relationships developed between science and faith, and (3) participants recognized a need exists for better understandings
of science and its relationship to faith for them, their colleagues, and their congregations.

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.

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.

Re-visioning Action: Participatory Action Research and Indigenous Theories of Change 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Eve Tuck 《The Urban Review》2009,41(1):47-65
This article observes that participatory action research (PAR), by nature of being collaborative, necessitates making explicit
theories of change that may have otherwise gone unseen or unexamined. The article explores the limits of the reform/revolution
paradox on actions and theories of change in PAR. Citing examples from two recent youth PAR projects on educational issues,
the author submits that when met with such a paradox, one can only move to a new vantage point. Four alternative vantage points,
drawn from Indigenous epistemologies, are illustrated; they are sovereignty, contention, balance, and relationship.

This paper suggests an alternative to the standard practice of measuring the graduation rate performance using regression
analysis. The alternative is production frontier analysis. Production frontier analysis is appealing because it compares an
institution’s graduation rate to the best performance instead of the average performance. The paper explains the differences
between these two types of analysis and provides examples of their application using data for 187 national universities.

This article examines why an initially successful innovative pedagogical practice was not sustained. The innovative practice
was a computer-mediated activity known as Fifth Dimension (5D) within a collaborative project between a university and a local
elementary school. The analysis identifies conflicts and transitional actions which prevented participants from continuing
the 5D and yet reveal that the 5D had an impact on the participants’ dominant activities. The analysis provides grounds for
rethinking the sustainability of innovations in school as a process of interplay between dominant and non-dominant activities
which includes conflicts and almost unnoticeable transitional actions.

Results are reported from an empirical study of an interorganizational collaboration to prepare underrepresented students
for elite postsecondary education and beyond. The LEAD (Leadership Education and Development) Program in Business is an initiative
involving twelve U.S. universities, nearly forty multinational corporations, a federal government agency, and a nonprofit
organization working together to introduce students to business education and careers in business. This article analyzes the
conditions that give rise to the collaboration, its essential structural characteristics, and the consequences that flow from
it.

The Two Cultures of Undergraduate Academic Engagement 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Steven Brint Allison M. Cantwell Robert A. Hanneman 《Research in higher education》2008,49(5):383-402
Using data on upper-division students in the University of California system, we show that two distinct cultures of engagement
exist on campus. The culture of engagement in the arts, humanities and social sciences focuses on interaction, participation,
and interest in ideas. The culture of engagement in the natural sciences and engineering focuses on improvement of quantitative
skills through collaborative study with an eye to rewards in the labor market. The two cultures of engagement are strongly
associated with post-graduate degree plans. The findings raise questions about normative conceptions of good educational practices
in so far as they are considered to be equally relevant to students in all higher education institutions and all major fields
of study.
