This study draws upon a qualitative case study to investigate the impact of the high-stakes test environment on an elementary
teacher’s identities and the influence of identity maintenance on science teaching. Drawing from social identity theory, I
argue that we can gain deep insight into how and why urban elementary science teachers engage in defining and negotiating
their identities in practice. In addition, we can further understand how and why science teachers of poor urban students engage
in teaching decisions that accommodate school demands and students’ needs to succeed in high-stakes tests. This paper presents
in-depth experiences of one elementary teacher as she negotiates her identities and teaching science in school settings that
emphasize high-stakes testing. I found that a teacher’s identities generate tensions while teaching science when: (a) schools
prioritize high-stakes tests as the benchmark of teacher success and student success; (b) activity-based and participatory
science teaching is deemphasized; (c) science teacher of minority students identity is threatened or questioned; and (d) a
teacher perceives a threat to one’s identities in the context of high stakes testing. Further, the results suggest that stronger
links to identities generate more positive values in teachers, and greater possibilities for positive actions in science classrooms
that support minority students’ success in science.

The power of Colombian mathematics teachers’ conceptions of social/institutional factors of teaching
Cecilia Agudelo-Valderrama 《Educational Studies in Mathematics》2008,68(1):37-54
In this paper I shall discuss data from a study on Colombian mathematics teachers’ conceptions of their own teaching practices
of beginning algebra, which led to the development of a theoretical model of teachers’ thought structures designed as a thinking
tool at the initial stage of the study. With a focus on the perspectives of teachers, the study investigated the relationship
between the teachers’ conceptions of beginning algebra and their conceptions of their own teaching practices, with a view
to unravelling their conceptions of change in their practices. Significant findings which threw light on the aforementioned
relationship have been presented in Agudelo-Valderrama, Clarke and Bishop (2007), highlighting a direct association between
a teacher’s conceptions of the nature of beginning algebra, the crucial determinants of her/his teaching practice, and her/his
attitude to change. After an overview of the study, this paper focuses on specific evidence which clearly shows that in contrast
to the strong relationship between a teacher’s conceptions of mathematics and her/his teaching practice, assumed in the theoretical
model of teachers’ thought structures, the teachers see a strong relationship between their conceptions of social/institutional
factors of teaching and what they do in their teaching. Implications of the findings for teacher education in Colombia are
identified.

This study examines a fifth grade science teacher’s attempts at integrating engineering design using the construct of uncertainty.
Collaborative action research served as a supportive mechanism to uncover and confront the teacher’s uncertainties. Data were
gathered through semi-structured interviews, reflections, classroom observations, lesson plans, and student work. Data analysis
entailed the use of grounded theory. Findings from this study revealed that teaching science through engineering design is
both challenging and problematic. Underpinning the teacher’s pedagogical experiences was the constant force of uncertainty,
in various forms, and how her sense of doubt was beneficial rather than problematic. 相似文献

Peer Coaching: Professional Development for Experienced Faculty 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The professoriate, as a whole, is growing older and more experienced; yet institutions often overlook the professional development
needs of mid-career and senior faculty. This article, based on a review of the literature and the development of a peer coaching
project, examines peer coaching as a professional development opportunity for experienced faculty that meets many of their
immediate needs and offers a variety of longer-term benefits to their institution. Six recommendations for creating a peer
coaching program emerge from the literature and the authors’ experience.

This paper provides another way to gaze upon Brad’s story as presented by van Eijck and Roth (2010). It raises questions about
infrastructural racism in contemporary science education by exploring its association with Whiteness and White privilege.
To explore the racial positioning inherent in Western science education specific attention is given to the positions of power
that accompany Western ways of knowing the world (i.e., science education) in comparison to Other ways of knowing the world
(i.e., First Nations Ways of Knowing). The paper suggests the power relationships inherent within this dualism are asymmetrical
due to the implications of Whiteness within colonial societies. Even though power relations were not discussed in Brad’s story,
the paper suggests the implications were visible. The paper concludes by advocating for a re-imagining in science education
where the traditional ontological and epistemological foundations are deconstructed and spaces are created for enacting practical
ways of resisting oppression.

Interviews with key scientists who had conducted research on Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), together with analysis
of media reports, documentaries and other literature published during and after the SARS epidemic, revealed many interesting
aspects of the nature of science (NOS) and scientific inquiry in contemporary scientific research in the rapidly growing field
of molecular biology. The story of SARS illustrates vividly some NOS features advocated in the school science curriculum,
including the tentative nature of scientific knowledge, theory-laden observation and interpretation, multiplicity of approaches
adopted in scientific inquiry, the inter-relationship between science and technology, and the nexus of science, politics,
social and cultural practices. The story also provided some insights into a number of NOS features less emphasised in the
school curriculum—for example, the need to combine and coordinate expertise in a number of scientific fields, the intense
competition between research groups (suspended during the SARS crisis), the significance of affective issues relating to intellectual
honesty and the courage to challenge authority, the pressure of funding issues on the conduct of research and the ‘peace of
mind’ of researchers, These less emphasised elements provided empirical evidence that NOS knowledge, like scientific knowledge
itself, changes over time. They reflected the need for teachers and curriculum planners to revisit and reconsider whether
the features of NOS currently included in the school science curriculum are fully reflective of the practice of science in
the 21st century. In this paper, we also report on how we made use of extracts from the news reports and documentaries on
SARS, together with episodes from the scientists’ interviews, to develop a multimedia instructional package for explicitly
teaching the prominent features of NOS and scientific inquiry identified in the SARS research.

In response to Stetsenko’s [2008, Cultural Studies of Science Education, 3] call for a more unified approach in sociocultural
perspectives, this paper traces the origins of the use of sociocultural ideas in New Zealand from the 1970s to the present.
Of those New Zealanders working from a sociocultural perspective who responded to our query most had encountered these ideas
while overseas. More recently activity theory has been of interest and used in reports of work in early childhood, workplace
change in the apple industry, and in-service teacher education. In all these projects the use of activity theory has been
useful for understanding how the elements of a system can transform the activity. We end by agreeing with Stetsenko that there
needs to be a more concerted approach by those working from a sociocultural perspective to recognise the contribution of others
in the field.
Joanna Higgins is Associate Director of the Jessie Hetherington Centre for Educational Research and Director of the Mathematics Education Unit at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. The primary focus of her research has been the teaching of elementary school mathematics incorporating four interrelated areas: children’s learning; teachers’ understanding and practice; the process of facilitation; and the links to policy. Studies from a sociocultural perspective include: teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge; models of facilitation for improving teacher knowledge and practices, representing mathematical ideas in teaching tasks, and classroom processes for mathematics teaching. She is particularly interested in exploring transformative practices that foster equitable outcomes for all learners. The investigations have had an impact on government policy in mathematics teacher education. In 2006 she won a contract to be the National Research Co-ordinator for the In-service Teacher Education Practice (INSTEP) Project. She gained her doctorate from Victoria University of Wellington in 1999. Geraldine McDonald is Research Associate in the School of Education Studies Victoria University of Wellington. Formerly she was Assistant Director of the New Zealand Council for Educational Research where she established the first program of research in early childhood education. She encountered exciting uses of Vygotskyan ideas when she was at Teachers College Columbia University in 1981. Her own first use of sociocultural theory was a study of early writing as a cultural artifact and this expanded to the study of classrooms. She is interested in the demographic characteristics of school populations and has for a long time argued against the use of psychometric tests standardized for age to compare population groups which differ in age at grade level. The results are unfair to disadvantaged groups which tend to be older for grade level than advantaged groups. She gained her doctorate from Victoria University of Wellington in 1976 and in 1993 the university awarded her an honorary DLit. She was the foundation president of the New Zealand Association for Research in Education. 相似文献

This commentary on Roth, Lee, and Hwang’s paper aims at analysing their theoretical approach in terms of its object of study,
and the aspects that are brought to the fore, like the cultural activity of conversation, and those that are overshadowed,
like the role of the material world and its perception on learning. This analysis, developed on the basis of a pragmatic approach
that combines theoretical frameworks, leads to a debate about the relevant components of teaching–learning situations according
to the theoretical approaches, and the extent to which, due to the complexity of the studied phenomena, some theoretical frameworks
are complementary or concurrent.

This article examines Mary Budd Rowe’s groundbreaking and far-reaching contributions to science education. Rowe is best known
for her research on wait-time: the idea that teachers can improve the quality and length of classroom discussions by waiting
at least 3 s before and after student responses. Her wait-time research grew from and helped inform her staunch advocacy of
science education as inquiry; Rowe saw wonder and excitement as central to the teaching and learning of science. She spent
much of her professional life designing professional development experiences and innovative curriculum materials to help teachers,
particularly elementary school teachers, enact inquiry in their classrooms.

In this paper I respond to Ajay Sharma’s Portrait of a Science Teacher as a Bricoleur: A case study from India, by speaking to two aspects of the bricoleur: the subject and the discursive in relation to pedagogic perspective. I highlight
that our subjectivities are negotiated based on the desires of the similar and competing discourses we are exposed to, and
the political powers they hold in society. As (science) teachers we modify our practices based upon our own internal arbitrations
with discourses. I agree with Sharma that as teachers we are discursively produced, however, I suggest that what is missing
in the discussion of his paper is the historically socially constructed nature of science or science education itself. I advocate
that science education is not neutral, objective or unproblematic. Building on Gill and Levidow’s (Anti-racist science teaching,
1987) critique, it is precisely because we are socially constructed by the dominant hegemonic science education discourse
that we rarely articulate the underlying political or economic priorities of science; science’s appropriation of other cultural
ways of knowing; the way science theory has been, or is used to justify the oppression of peoples for political gain; the
central role science and technology play in the defensive, economic and political agendas of nations and multinational corporations
who fund science; the historical, and contemporary role science plays in rationalizing an exploitative ideological perspective
towards the more-than-human world and the natural environment; and finally, the alienating effect science has on students
when used as a ranking and sorting mechanism by educational systems. Therefore, we need to do what Mr. Raghuvanshi could not
imagine: we need to destabilize the foundations of science education by questioning inherent structural and ideological inequities.

In the learning sciences, students’ understanding of scientific concepts has often been approached in terms of conceptual change. These studies are grounded in a cognitive or a socio-cognitive approach to students’ understanding and imply a focus on the
individuals’ mental representations of scientific concepts and ideas. We approach students’ conceptual change from a socio-cultural
perspective as they make new meaning in genetics. Adhering to a socio-cultural perspective, we emphasize the discursive and
interactional aspects of human learning and understanding. This perspective implies that the focus is on students’ meaning
making processes in collaborative learning activities. In the study, we conduct an analysis of a group of students’ who interact
while working to solve problems in genetics. In our analyses we emphasize four analytical aspects of the students’ meaning
making: (a) the students’ use of resources in problematizing, (b) teacher interventions, (c) changes in interactional accomplishments,
and (d) the institutional aspect of meaning making. Our findings suggest that students’ meaning making surrounding genetics
concepts relates not only to an epistemic concern but also to an interactional and an institutional concern.

In this article I initially borrow a metaphor from an art exhibition, Ocean to Outback, as a way to express my perspective on the contribution that Léonie Rennie has made to science education in Australia. I
then consider Léonie’s contributions as overlapping themes. In particular, Léonie’s well-known research on gender and issues
of equity in science education is explored as well as her highly regarded work on learning science in out-of-school settings.
Curriculum integration is a less well-known aspect of Léonie’s research that also is considered. Léonie’s important contributions
to research training and policy in science education are briefly described and commented on. Finally, I return to the metaphor
of Ocean to Outback that reflects the enormity of the contribution that Léonie has made but also gives insight into her personal journey and
qualities.

Research on teacher identities is both important and increasing. In this forum contribution I re-interpret assertions about
an African American science teacher’s identities in terms of Jonathon Turner’s (2002) constructs of role identity and sub-identity. I contest the notion of renegotiation of identities, suggesting that particular
role identities can be brought to the foreground and then backgrounded depending on the situation and the need to confirm
a sub-identity. Finally, I recommend the inclusion of teachers’ voices in identity research through greater use of co-authoring
roles for teachers.

This article refers to a longitudinal case study of a primary school teacher over a period of 4 years. The focus is on the
development of the teacher’s beliefs regarding mathematics teaching and learning from the last year of her university studies
up to the third year of teaching mathematics in school. This development has been investigated within three different contexts,
which have been distinguished in terms of the kind of support provided to this teacher. Two dominant beliefs emerged which
have been traced through the period of the study from both the teacher’s reflections and actions. The first belief drew on
the idea that what was considered an easy mathematical task by an adult could also be easily understood by children, while
the second was that children learn mathematics through their actual involvement in a variety of teaching activities. The results
indicate the way that teacher’s experiences from her university studies, actual classroom practice and inservice education
interact and influence her beliefs and professional development. 相似文献

In this article, we present a case study of a beginning science teacher’s year-long action research project, during which
she developed a meaningful grasp of learning from practice. Wendy was a participant in the middle grade science program designed
for career changers from science professions who had moved to teaching middle grade science. An extended action research experience
in the second year of induction proved valuable to her in learning how to modify her teaching to reach her goal, using evidence
of student learning as her guide. This article closes with reflections on the value of extended action research within science
teacher preparation, particularly early in one’s career, and explores the promise for ongoing practice-based professional
development throughout a teacher’s career. 相似文献

The coteaching model for teacher preparation has emerged in recent years as an alternative to the traditional student teaching
or practicum experience. Several studies have investigated the process of coteaching and its impact on participants during
the actual experience; however, few depict participants’ experiences once they obtain positions and begin to teach independently.
This collective case study explored two urban high school teachers’ (Jen and Ian) practices during the induction period after
taking part in the coteaching model for student teaching. Using a sociocultural analytic framework, we found that the participants’
agency as beginning teachers was not constrained by their coteaching experiences. Rather, they were able to continue to draw
on some of the successful practices they had in coteaching, such as shared reflection, shared responsibility, cogenerative
dialogues, and building relationships with students. In addition to describing the coherence and contradictions between Ian’s
and Jen’s practices during coteaching and in their beginning years of inservice teaching, we also discuss the ways that they
became collaborators in our ethnographic research.

This article reviews significant contributions made by Joe L. Kincheloe to critical research in science education, especially
through a multimethodological, multitheoretical, and multidisciplinary informed lens that incorporates social, cultural, political,
economic, and cognitive dynamics—the bricolage. Kincheloe’s ideas provide for a compelling understanding of, and insights
into, the forces that shape the intricacies of teaching and learning science and science education. They have implications
in improving science education policies, in developing actions that challenge and cultivate the intellect while operating
in ways that are more understanding of difference and are socially just.

Elementary science teaching has been considered by recent researchers as a process in which students should be engaged in
a variety of activities to develop science concepts, science process skills and scientific attitudes. From this perspective,
hands-on activities are prominent in this approach because it leads the students to both reflect on the natural and physical
world, and understand the social role of science in society. In Upadhyay’s article we follow an elementary teacher who struggles
to implement a participatory method of science teaching in an environment that prioritizes high-stakes tests as the benchmarks
for teachers’ and students’ success. In so doing, the teacher negotiates her identities in order to engage the students in
the process of learning science even though the environment requires a teaching methodology that is against her beliefs. In
our commentary on Upadhyay’s article we argue that (a) the tensions experienced by teachers create the core of the process
of fluidity identity; (b) the different forms of external control over the teaching are inherent in educational systems and
also a demand of parents and society; and (c) the possibility for social mobility of minority students is a complex process
