The aim of this article is to shed light on some aspects of professional responsibility by investigating students’ visions
of future work and notions of professional responsibility. The data is based on interviews with samples of freshmen in three
educational programmes at the University of Oslo in Norway. The data has been analysed in relation to two thesis claimed by
Steven Brint: “The rise of a utilitarian ethos” in higher education and the movement from “social trustee professionalism”
to “expert professionalism”. The findings show that the students in our sample do not think of higher education primarily
as a means to get credentials that will be useful in the labour marked. An intellectual interest in the discipline is the
most prevalent reason for the students’ educational choices. Furthermore our findings support an orientation towards “expert
professionalism” rather than “social trustee professionalism”. But, embedded in the perspective of an expert there is an emphasis on ethical knowledge, moral and/or societal responsibility
and the wish to do good for others. However, the students’ sense of responsibility seems to be restricted to certain “localism”
of their specific occupation. Based on the findings we argue that the students reveal a moral awareness that should be taken
seriously by the educational institution in order to foster critical rationality and professional commitments. 相似文献

This case study investigation of three Academically Gifted African American male high school seniors in a predominantly African
American urban high school examines the interplay between their ethnic and academic identity. Using an embedded micro-ethnographic
approach, we explore the extent to which these students value educational attainment, the extent to which they connect with
their ethnicity, and those “significant others” who inhibit or dissuade the development of their ethnic and/or academic identity.
Consistent with the conclusions of more recent educational literature, findings indicate participants in this investigation
value the purpose and intent of schooling and the mobility associated with it, express “Blackness” is an essential component
of their academic achievement and overall self concept, and credit people within their immediate social network for opening
their eyes to social injustices within the world at an early age. Implications for research and practice are discussed. 相似文献

Within the sphere of contemporary social sciences, the terms “modernity,” “post-modernity” and “globalization” have penetrated,
as the core concepts, into various fields of social sciences in a logical way. In constituting the concept of “modernity,”
sociology of education develops the educational theory, as sociological theory does, into a “grand narrative” and “foundationalist”
theory; the contribution of post-modernity is pluralism and self-examination in an attempt to transcend modernity. Globalization,
a kind of expanded modernity, makes education sociologists broaden their perspective from single and traditional “nationality,”
“society” and “nation” to an international society and even to the global society, which has broken through the research paradigm
of modernity with ethnocentrism, anthropocentrism and Euro-centrism. These changes have required urgent constitution of the
conceptions and theoretical frameworks of sociology of education to be applied on a global level.

Teacher educators describe a developmental process they use for preparing pre-service teachers to support preschool-age children
with and without disabilities in becoming socially competent. Social competence is crucial in developing the “whole” child
and may actually foster other areas of development. Using qualitative data gathered from multiple classes over several years,
the authors explain ways they guide future teachers in learning how to provide positive social environments. They describe
their observations of changes in students’ beliefs about their roles and responsibilities, which appear to be influenced by
the guided experiences they have provided. Activities implemented in early childhood and early childhood special education
courses are shared, as well as student work samples that illustrate developing awareness and understanding. 相似文献

In an era of rapid global economic and social change, educational institutions like schools and universities are struggling
to keep their curricula and programs relevant. Singapore’s schools are no exception, especially when education is viewed as
the essential element for maintaining the nation’s global competitiveness in ways that are totally disproportionate to its
size. The current shift from an ‘efficiency-’ to an ‘ability-’ driven paradigm in education, however, is increasing uncertainty
and raising the stakes in an already pressurized system where schools, educators and students constantly compete for top academic
awards and rewards. The concept of “partnership” in Singapore education is a significant, relatively new, trend that has caught
on among local schools only since the late-1990s, with the focus on creating better “total” learning environments for students.
This paper analyses the challenges of matching rhetoric with professional practice with regard to school–home partnerships
in Singapore, and concludes that the key to authentic collaboration lies in the mutual appreciation and valuing of diversity
as well as a deep sense of shared responsibility by all parties concerned. 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to examine whether a new construct “Assumed-Competence based on undervaluing others (AC)” could
be a determinant of anger and sadness for contemporary Japanese adolescents. A set of questionnaires was administered to 584
high school students, who rated ACS-2 (Assumed-Competence Scale, second version), Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale, in relation
to their perceived emotional reactions toward certain negative personal and social events, and other scales. The results indicated
that the students who got angry at personal events were likely to have high AC. However, those who felt neither anger nor
sadness in relation to such social events were likely to have high AC. The role of AC in emotional reactions and suggestions
for future research was also discussed. 相似文献

While the “model minority” stereotype of Asian Americans and its negative effects has been documented elsewhere, relatively
little attention has been paid to how recent Asian immigrant students begin to embrace the stereotype while in schools. This
study explores the identity formation process for a group of recent Korean immigrant students as “model minority” in an urban
high school to empirically document the process. Through interviews and observations, I learned that the immigrants acquired
an unauthentic American identity as a racial minority, constructed their status as “model minority” in response, and enacted
the stereotype as they sanctioned those who couldn’t live up to the stereotype. The aim is to add to the body of knowledge
on the school experiences of recent Asian immigrants. 相似文献

Attitudes toward learning (ATL) have been shown to influence students’ learning outcomes. However, there is a lack of knowledge
about the ways in which the interaction between ATL, the learning situation, and the level of students’ prior knowledge influence
affective reactions and conceptual change. In this study, a simulation of acid-base titrations was examined to assess the
impact of instruction format, level of prior knowledge and students’ ATL on university-level students, with respect to flow
experiences (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990) and perceived conceptual change. Results show that the use of guiding instructions was
correlated with a perceived conceptual change and high levels of “Challenge,” “Enjoyment,” and “Concentration,” but low sense
of control during the exercise. Students who used the open instructions scored highly on the “Control flow” component, but
their perceived learning score was lower than that for the students who used the guiding instructions. In neither case did
students’ ATL or their pre-test results contribute strongly to students’ flow experiences or their perceived learning in the
two different learning situations. 相似文献

A sense of place 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Ruth Wilson 《Early Childhood Education Journal》1997,24(3):191-194
Conclusion Places shape the stories of our lives. These stories become ongoing “ecological conversations”—i.e., expressions of the dialogue
between ourselves and the environment (Lutts, 1985). When this conversation ends, so will our future.
The development of healthy environmental awareness and concern starts with a feeling response to nature. Such a response comes
primarily by way of firsthand positive experiences in the out-of-doors, especially in environments fostering a “sense of place”
experience. Attention to creating a sense of place for young children can thus prove helpful in fostering a lifelong commitment
to the natural environment. In designing “sense of place” play and learning spaces for young children, we are, indeed, designing
the future as well. 相似文献

Determining the candidate teachers’ opinions regarding self-efficacy towards alternative assessment will be beneficial in
that this will improve their competencies while using these approaches in their applications within the classroom. In this
article, the development and validation of the “Self-efficacy towards Using Alternative Assessment Scale” (SUAAS) is introduced.
The SUUAS is a 26-item scale for assessing candidate teachers’ self-efficacy towards using alternative assessment. Data collected
from 424 candidate teachers provide evidence for the validity and reliability of the scale. The results provide evidence for
a valid and reliable self-efficacy scale with 3 factors, which are named as “Self-efficacy towards Using”, “Self-efficacy
towards Challenges” and “Self-efficacy towards Using Sources”. The Cronbach’s alpha value of the entire scale has been found
as 0.89, while those of the sub-factors are 0.88, 0.86 and 0.71, respectively. Followed by additional validation studies,
the SUAAS will serve as a valuable tool for both instructors and researchers in education to assess teachers’ and candidate
teachers’ beliefs related to their self-efficacy towards using alternative assessment approaches. 相似文献

Civic responsibility as an ideal of higher education is rarely considered through a cultural and theoretical lens. Swidler’s
(1986, American Sociological Review, 51: 273–286) framework linking ideology, culture and action was used in this ethnographic study of a research university
(a) to understand dominant institutional beliefs about civic responsibility and (b) to understand how institutional culture
contributes to a unique approach to civic responsibility. This study examined campus ideologies and cultural forms that addressed
five dimensions of civic responsibility: (a) knowledge and support of democratic values, systems and processes, (b) desire
to act beneficially in community and for its members, (c) use of knowledge and skills for societal benefit, (d) appreciation
for and interest in those unlike oneself, and (e) personal accountability. The “role model” approach emerged as a unique institutional
approach to civic responsibility and aligned with Swidler’s framework. Findings are significant for both organization studies
and student development research. 相似文献

We focus on three aspects of the articles of Reyna, of Perry, Stupnisky, Daniels and Haynes, and of Murdock, Beauchamp and
Hinton. The first aspect is the logic of causal chain, a logic that we differentiate from a more deterministic approach. The
second one is the mode of corrective action (attribution retraining) that is planned for students, whether cheaters or lower
achievers. We differentiate this mode of action from the one that is based on the idea of normative awareness (or “clear-sightedness”):
normative awareness does not imply that the speaker believes in what he says. Finally, we discuss the concept of social value
(of a person) which seems to underlie the empirical results but which does not appear in the authors’ formulations. But this
concept stems from a “sociologizing” meta-theory that these authors probably do not share and which makes the norm of enternality
theory difficult to integrate within Weiner’s attribution theory. 相似文献

Beliefs and attitudes resulting from the unique life experiences of teachers frame interactions with learners promoting gender
equity or inequity and the reproduction of social views about knowledge and power as related to gender. This study examines
the enactment of a female science teacher’s pedagogy (Laura), seeking to understand the implications of her beliefs and attitudes,
as framed by her interpretations and daily manifestations, as she interacts with students. Distinct influences inform the
conceptual framework of this study: (a) the social organization of society at large, governed by understood and unspoken patriarchy,
present both academically and socially; (b) the devaluing of women as “knowers” of scientific knowledge as defined by a western
and male view of science; (c) the marginalization or “feminization” of education and pedagogical knowledge. The findings reflect
tensions between attitudes and beliefs and actual teacher practice suggesting the need for awareness within existing or new
teachers about their positions as social agents and the sociological implications related to issues of gender within which
we live and work, inclusive of science teaching and learning. 相似文献

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.

The Chinese society of the 21st century is at a critical period of transformation. The emergence of globalization and informationalization are the most striking
changes of the current Chinese society. The profound change in the social transformation and its penetrating influence on
people’s lives has revealed the disadvantages of the present education. For 10 years, the “New Elementary Education”, based
on the background of Chinese society, and the demand for school education reform clearly puts forward the necessity of education
reform in the period of social transformation, in other words, education should achieve its transformational development.
This paper presents a deep research of globalization and informationalization, which are the background of Chinese social
transformation. On this basis, the paper examines the implication of ‘school transformational reform” of the present-day Chinese
elementary education, and finally proposes some steps for achieving “school transformational reform”.

Research in Mexican schools, drawing upon earlier research in the UK, has led to the development and use of a method for describing, comparing and evaluating the particular approaches and interactional strategies used by teachers and learners. Using this method, qualitative and quantitative comparisons are made to distinguish between teachers who use a conventional, formal, directive approach when teaching 5-year-old children mathematical skills (called the “Official” method) and those who use a more interactive, collaborative, supportive, “scaffolded” approach to teach similar classes of children (called the “High Scope” method). In an earlier study, we found more competent and independent problem-solving among High/Scope pupils than among their peers taught by the Official method. In the present study, discourse analysis and statistical analysis of the relative frequencies of types of teacher-pupil interaction in the classrooms of two “Official” teachers and two “High’ Scope” teachers are used to explain the improved problem-solving of the “High Scope” pupils. The findings support the view that by creating a more collaborative, scaffolded version of classroom education, teachers can more successfully enable children to develop their own problem-solving skills, learning strategies and curriculum-related understanding. The research also contributes to the development and implementation of methods for promoting a more effective style of teacher-learner interaction in the classroom. 相似文献

Conclusion I applaud ISTE, AASL, AECT, and the other organizations involved for tackling the “messy work” of developing standards for
the use of technology and information resources in schools. And, at the same time, I call for a “second generation” of standards
that define realistic expectations for teachers based on the subjects and levels they are called upon to teach. I propose
that professional organizations from each subject work with ISTE and AECT to complete this huge task, and I propose that we
consider as a “next step” the creation of a set of on-line learning experiences through which teachers can gain the identified
skills and knowledge by using the very technologies we’re hoping they’ll embrace in their own teaching.
There’s an old saying, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do.” As far as educational technologies are concerned,
this is also true. For many, the goal seems to have been simply to “get more computers into the schools,” without much thought
about purpose. To return to Phil Schlechty’s metaphor, It’s generally been a brief and misguided “Ready” stage (occupied with
questions like “How many do we need?” “What type?” “Where?” and “How shall we connect them?”), followed by “Fire!” (the acquisition
and installation of equipment). What we need is: “Ready” (the creation of appropriate teams of people who will combine their
insights to plan for the district)... “Aim” (a series of discussions about what technologies can accomplish for schools and
the students they serve)... “Fire” (acquisition, installation, and professional development according to plan)... “Aim” (an
assessment of how well the technologies and related programs met the intended goals, and a new planning effort designed to
close the gap)... “Fire” (acquisition and implementation designed to eliminate the gap)... “Aim” (another gap assessment)...
“Fire” (another attempt to close gaps)..., And so on. 相似文献
