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

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.

Developing Science Pedagogical Content Knowledge Through Mentoring Elementary Teachers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Ken Appleton 《Journal of Science Teacher Education》2008,19(6):523-545
Elementary teachers are typically hesitant to teach science. While a limited knowledge of science content is a reason for
this, limited science pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) has emerged as another reason in recent research. This study constitutes
two case studies of a professional development program for elementary teachers involving mentoring by a university professor.
The mentor took the role of a critical friend in joint planning and teaching of science. The study examines the nature of
the mentoring relationship and reports the type of teacher learning that occurred, with a particular focus on the teachers’
development of science PCK.

This article builds upon more than 6 years of critical research in urban schools in northern California to offer a particular
perspective on teaching for social justice. Concerned with prevailing issues in adolescent literacy, this article examines
instantiations of literacy instruction in the shadow of the late activist poet June Jordan and with the support of Pulitzer
Prize-winning author Alice Walker. It focuses on culturally responsive pedagogy to understand not only their work but also
the work of teachers and other educators. Central to the discussion are two kinds of pedagogical innovations, one based on
a school-community partnership and the other a district-wide sponsored writing contest. Implications for classroom practice
and key lessons useful for teachers interested in similar work are also discussed.

This study infused computer modeling and simulation tools in a 1-semester undergraduate elementary science methods course
to advance preservice teachers’ understandings of computer software use in science teaching and to help them learn important
aspects of pedagogy and epistemology. Preservice teachers used computer modeling and simulation tools within their own science
investigations; discussed general technology issues; and explored, evaluated, and taught their peers about a particular modeling
tool. Preservice teachers expanded their vision of the software available and the role that software can play in science teaching,
but desired fun, easy-to-use software with scientifically accurate information within a clear, familiar learning task. Such
conflict provided a fruitful platform for discussion and for potentially advancing preservice teachers’ pedagogical and epistemological
understandings.

This paper describes the rationale, conceptualization and design of the Second International Information Technology in Education
Study (SITES). SITES is a survey of schools and teachers of their pedagogical practices, their use of ICT and their readiness
for changing their teaching–learning towards the demands of the 21st century. The study will take place under the auspices
of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) and the data collection is planned for
2006; therefore the project is called ‘SITES2006’.

This study describes how teachers use their personal knowledge of a school district and their students to cope with teaching
under stressful situations associated with economic, social, and institutional factors. The 3 teachers dealt with these issues
in unique ways, focusing on helping students to overcome negative perceptions, value the importance of an education, and build
strong relationships. A model of multicultural science professional development is proposed that complements the strengths
that these teachers have. A task for science educators working with teachers and administration in schools and districts that
are “critically low performing” is to support everyone in implementing pedagogical methods aimed at empowerment, social justice,
and high achievement for all students.

In this article, we concentrate upon the lifeworld resources that comprise the funds of knowledge for children living in a
rural community in the southeastern United States. Through interview conversations with a group of third grade children, we
identified three lifeworld resources—interdependence, garbage dumping, and feral dogs—that rural teachers might draw on to
generate curriculum that is connected to the community in which they teach. Through such connections rural teachers may increase
the likelihood that they will remain teaching in rural schools.

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.

Nondeterminism is a fundamental concept in computer science that appears in various contexts such as automata theory, algorithms
and concurrent computation. We present a taxonomy of the different ways that nondeterminism can be defined and used; the categories
of the taxonomy are domain, nature, implementation, consistency, execution and semantics. An historical survey shows how the
concept was developed from its inception by Rabin & Scott, Floyd and Dijkstra, as well as the interplay between nondeterminism
and concurrency. Computer science textbooks and pedagogical software are surveyed to determine how they present the concept;
the results show that the treatment of nondeterminism is generally fragmentary and unsystematic. We conclude that the teaching
of nondeterminism must be integrated through the computer science curriculum so that students learn to see nondeterminism
both in terms of abstract mathematical entities and in terms of machines whose execution is unpredictable.

This paper focuses on teaching and learning the set of real numbers R and its completeness property at the university level. It studies, in particular, the opportunities for understanding this
property that students are offered in four undergraduate correlative courses in Calculus and Analysis. The theoretical framework
used in the study draws on concepts developed in the Anthropological Theory of Didactics, especially the notions of praxeology
and mathematical organization. The paper shows different expectations concerning the same notion (R and its completeness) through different school levels, and intends to bring up some reflections about the transition from
Calculus to Analysis.

In this article I explore research in urban science education inspired by the work of Kris Gutierrez in a paper based on her
2005 Scribner Award. It addresses key points in Gutierrez’s work by exploring theoretical frameworks for research and approaches
to teaching and research that expand the discourse on the agency of urban youth in corporate school settings. The work serves
as an overview of under-discussed approaches and theoretical frameworks to consider in teaching and conducting research with
marginalized urban youth in urban science classrooms.

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.

Preservice teachers in a K–8 science methods course used guided video reflection to examine their interactions with children
during science teaching. This inquiry approach helped preservice teachers identify and respond to gaps between their beliefs
and intentions about teaching all children and their enactment of those beliefs. The experience of teaching a science lesson
and then viewing it multiple times through a critical framework provided an opportunity for preservice teachers to recognize
hidden assumptions, unexamined behaviors, and the unintentional meanings they may have conveyed to children. This encouraged
them to think more critically about their roles as teachers in creating spaces where all children have access to quality science
learning experiences.

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.

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.
