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.

A great challenge in education research involves the difficulty of differentiating between studies that apply commonly understood
theoretical perspectives and recognizing studies that merely rename old theoretical frameworks. This conflict between intellectual
innovation and intellectual retrofitting emerges as central to Basu, Calabrese-Barton, Clairmont, and Lock’s exploration of
the relationship between critical agency and student identity development in science.

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.

We examine the inseparability of one’s environment with the elements of adaptation and identity. Specifically, we revisit
the Project H.O.M.E. learning environment as we suggest that the entities of adaption and environment are not only binding,
but also naturally in constant flux as they interact with each other. Contrary to nature, however, the social distance between
the instructors and learners is the result of a human construct that often hinders adaptation and identity development. We
address the factors that afforded participants overcoming social distance and ultimately cultivating a shift in the learning
structure of Project H.O.M.E.

This paper draws on my personal experiences with coteaching and my participation in the research described by Wassell and
LaVan (2009). It examines the role of coteaching in the development of structures that afforded opportunities for shared reflection and
shared responsibility between stakeholders in the classroom. It also describes how the schema and practices developed through
coteaching and cogenerative dialogue helped mediate the transition between my preservice and inservice teaching experiences.

In this rejoinder to Bryan Brown and John Reveles, we highlight the facts that (a) sociocultural theories of learning do not
go far enough because they fail to address a number of issues and (b) we require concepts such as power and positionality
to understand science learning.

Participation,financial support and the marginal student 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
This paper examines differences between the decision-making of marginal and nonmarginal students about participation in higher
education (HE). We distinguish between two kinds of marginality: being ‘borderline’ on account of prior achievements in school
and being ‘unsure’ after taking prior achievement into account. We identify a significant minority of students in their final
year of schooling who are unsure about participation in higher education even though they have prior school achievements typical
of entrants to HE. Being ‘unsure’ is found to be unrelated to socioeconomic background, but it is associated with significantly
different attitudes towards the potential benefits and risks of participation, different levels of knowledge about financial
support that is available and different approaches to information search about participation in HE.

In this paper we examine the possibility of differentiating between two types of nonexamples. The first type, intuitive nonexamples, consists of nonexamples which are intuitively accepted as such. That is, children immediately identify them as nonexamples.
The second type, non-intuitive nonexamples, consists of nonexamples that bear a significant similarity to valid examples of the concept, and consequently are more often
mistakenly identified as examples. We describe and discuss these notions and present a study regarding kindergarten children’s
grasp of nonexamples of triangles.

Written from the vantage point of both a mother and teacher educator, the author recounts the journey taken by Sarah, her
4-year old daughter, as she is introduced to and explores map making as a means of representing and making sense of familiar
and unfamiliar places. Offering Sarah’s experience as context, the author offers both a practical and theoretical discussion
of children’s emerging geographic literacy, its relationship to identity development and the importance of understanding children’s
experience and socio-emotional development to inform pedagogy.

Program assessments are an essential part of the ongoing survival of teaching centers performed by faculty development personnel
at institutions of higher education. Little research is available to guide developers in performing these assessments. In
this article we describe assessments conducted at three Canadian universities and highlight the theoretical models used to
guide the process. Reflections on the strengths and challenges are discussed for each program assessment for the purpose of
assisting faculty developers in performing similar program assessments of their faculty development offices.

In this paper we describe the criteria of Technology I, II, and III, which some instructional theorists have proposed to describe the differences between a formulaic and a reflective approach
to solving educational problems. In a recent study, we applied these criteria to find evidence of a technological gravity that pulls practitioners away from reflective practices into a more reductive approach. We compared published reports of
an innovative instructional theory, problem-based learning, to the goals of the theory as it was originally defined. We found
three reasons for technological gravity, as well as three approaches some practitioners have used to avoid this gravity. We
recommend that instructional technologists adopt our three approaches, as well as the criteria of Technology III, so they
may better develop instruction of a quality consistent with the innovative instructional principles they claim, and that best
characterizes the goals they have for their practice.

Faculty experiences of innovative approaches to learning and the changes to their knowledge emerging from such experiences
constitute an important area of inquiry that has to date largely been ignored or has been approached with research methods
ill-suited to examining such experiences. This paper adopts interpretative meta-ethnography as its research framework to investigate
the changes to faculty knowledge that occur when they adopt problem-based learning (PBL). The paper presents themes that emerged
through the analysis and argues for future inquiry.

In an earlier article I drew a distinction between two general types of listening. In one the listener brings pre-determined
categories to bear in extracting useful information from the speaker’s utterance. In the other the listener suspends such
categories to hear as much as possible in the utterance. This distinction has been challenged by Sophie Haroutunian-Gordon.
This article responds to her critique.

Distance education plays an important role in broadening educational access and increasing higher educational opportunities.
The success, however, for any distance education initiative relies on a critical and core resource, namely having participating
faculty who provide quality instruction. This study uses survey design and diffusion of innovation theory to examine faculty
participation in relation to their technology use, their attitudes toward technology and distance education, and their adoption
of innovations at a public postsecondary 10-campus system. Ordinal regression analysis identified 20 significant variables
(16 predictors representing the four latent dimensions of the conceptual model and four demographic characteristics) that
explain faculty participation in distance education. The findings identify a number of core issues underlying faculty participation
and non-participation in distance education which pose implications for policy and practice relevant to technology use and
skills, training and development, course design and technical support, quality issues, and workload and compensation.

In this rejoinder, we respond to the major points made by Gallo-Fox (this forum), Beers (this forum), Carambo and Stickney
(this forum), and Murphy, Carlisle and Beggs (this forum). We focus primarily on the benefits and considerations that stem
from employing additional theoretical frameworks for analyzing research in coteaching. We also address some of the future
directions that should be explored in coteaching research.

In this paper we describe learners being asked to generate examples of new mathematical concepts, thus developing and exploring
example spaces. First we elaborate the theoretical background for learner generated examples (LGEs) in learning new concepts.
The data we then present provides evidence of the possibility of learning new concepts through a symbiosis of induction and
abduction from experience and deduction from the relationships generated in exemplification. In other words, experience can
be organised in such a way that shifts of understanding take place as a result of learners’ own actions. Actions, in this
context, include mental acts of organisational reflection.

In this article I critically examine the historical context of science education in a natural history museum and its relevance
to using museum resources to teach science today. I begin with a discussion of the historical display of race and its relevance
to my practice of using the Museum’s resources to teach science. I continue with a critical review of the history of the education
department in a natural history museum to demonstrate the historical constitution of current practices of the education department.
Using sociocultural constructs around identity formation and transformation, I move to the present with a case study of a
teacher who transforms the structure of science education in her classroom and school as a result of her identity transformation
and association with a museum-based professional education program.

Integrating technology into K-12 teaching and learning: current knowledge gaps and recommendations for future research 总被引：7，自引：2，他引：5
Khe Foon Hew Thomas Brush 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2007,55(3):223-252
Although research studies in education show that use of technology can help student learning, its use is generally affected
by certain barriers. In this paper, we first identify the general barriers typically faced by K-12 schools, both in the United
States as well as other countries, when integrating technology into the curriculum for instructional purposes, namely: (a)
resources, (b) institution, (c) subject culture, (d) attitudes and beliefs, (e) knowledge and skills, and (f) assessment.
We then describe the strategies to overcome such barriers: (a) having a shared vision and technology integration plan, (b)
overcoming the scarcity of resources, (c) changing attitudes and beliefs, (d) conducting professional development, and (e)
reconsidering assessments. Finally, we identify several current knowledge gaps pertaining to the barriers and strategies of
technology integration, and offer pertinent recommendations for future research.
