Few pieces of GLBTQ fiction have received the popular and scholarly acclaim awarded to Alex Sanchez’s Rainbow Boys series. Although “problem novels” are rarely taken seriously as literature, the books—the first novel in particular—have
joined the few pieces of GLBTQ literature incorporated into educational discourse and curriculum. In this article, the author
suggests that although the positive nature and surface construction appeals to those seeking “affirmative” representations
of GLBTQ youth, the contributions made by the series may be overshadowed by its reliance on heteronormative gender stereotypes
that may actually work to perpetuate homophobic attitudes toward gay sexuality.

Charbel Niño El-Hani Eduardo Fleury Mortimer 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2007,2(3):657-702
In this paper, we offer an intermediate position in the multiculturalism/universalism debate, drawing upon Cobern and Loving’s
epistemological pluralism, pragmatist philosophies, Southerland’s defense of instructional multicultural science education,
and the conceptual profile model. An important element in this position is the proposal that understanding is the proper goal
of science education. Our commitment to this proposal is explained in terms of a defense of an ethics of coexistence for dealing
with cultural differences, according to which social argumentative processes—including those in science education—should be
marked by dialogue and confrontation of arguments in the search of possible solutions, and an effort to (co-)live with differences
if a negotiated solution is not reached. To understand the discourses at stake is, in our view, a key requirement for the
coexistence of arguments and discourses, and the science classroom is the privileged space for promoting an understanding
of the scientific discourse in particular. We argue for “inclusion” of students’ culturally grounded ideas in science education,
but in a sense that avoids curricular multicultural science education, and, thus, any attempt to broaden the definition of
“science” so that ideas from other ways of knowing might be simply treated as science contents. Science teachers should always
take in due account the diversity of students’ worldviews, giving them room in argumentative processes in science classrooms,
but should never lose from sight the necessity of stimulating students to understand scientific ideas. This view is grounded
on a distinction between the goals of science education and the nature of science instruction, and demands a discussion about
how learning is to take place in culturally sensitive science education, and about communicative approaches that might be
more productive in science classrooms organized as we propose here. We employ the conceptual profile model to address both
issues. We expect this paper can contribute to the elaboration of an instructional multicultural science education approach
that eliminates the forced choice between the goals of promoting students’ understanding of scientific ideas and of empowering
students through education.

This article explores how incarcerated youth and adult supervisors contest claims to identity via language of “representing”.
Comparing how youth and adults “represent” in discussions of their own past and future selves sheds light on the constrained
universe of discourse within which both groups work to express identities and on the basis of which we counsel, mentor, and
educate young people. Acknowledging these constraints can contribute to understanding what I call exceptionalism—the idea that only exceptional poor and raced young men, through great personal effort and sacrifice, may resist the lure
of the “street”. I conclude by discussing implications of this work for education and youth development work both inside and
beyond the juvenile justice system as well as for research across lines of difference by committed “outsiders”.

This article describes a real-life project currently being conducted in Burkina Faso—the bilingual education continuum—and
explains its original and innovative aspects with respect to the teaching methods used and the development and process by
which it is implemented in the schools. The article focuses on five main points: the status of bilingual education; the minimum
factors needed for its success; the implications concerning the role of the teachers; the obstacles encountered; and strategies
used to introduce bilingual education, while overcoming various obstacles.

Policy makers and leadership developers now admonish both aspiring and practicing educational leaders to base what they do
on evidence of “best practice”. Some argue, however, that today’s best practices stand a reasonably good chance of being unsuitable
for schools in the future. Unfortunately, effective leadership in future schools is empirically unknowable. This paper unpacks
the arguments about “best” and “next” practices concluding that there is an empirically defensible foundation for current
and future leaders.

Bringing a greater number of students into science is one of, if not the most fundamental goals of science education for all, especially for heretofore-neglected groups of society such as women and Aboriginal students. Providing students with opportunities
to experience how science really is enacted—i.e., authentic science—has been advocated as an important means to allow students to know and learn about science. The purpose of this paper is
to problematize how “authentic” science experiences may mediate students’ orientations towards science and scientific career
choices. Based on a larger ethnographic study, we present the case of an Aboriginal student who engaged in a scientific internship
program. We draw on cultural–historical activity theory to understand the intersection between science as practice and the
mundane practices in which students participate as part of their daily lives. Following Brad, we articulate our understanding
of the ways in which he hybridized the various mundane and scientific practices that intersected in and through his participation
and by which he realized his cultural identity as an Aboriginal. Mediated by this hybridization, we observe changes in his
orientation towards science and his career choices. We use this case study to revisit methodological implications for understanding
the role of “authentic science experiences” in science education.

This article focuses upon programs for undergraduate women in science and engineering, which are a strategic research site
in the study of gender, science, and higher education. The design involves both quantitative and qualitative approaches, linking
theory, method, questions, and analyses in ways not undertaken previously. Using a comprehensive, quantitative, cross-institutional,
and longitudinal method, two extreme groups of programs are distinguished: those associated with the “most successful” and
“least successful” outcomes in undergraduate degrees awarded to women in science and engineering. Qualitative analyses of
interview data with key players in the programs in these two groups point to ways in which definitions of issues, problems,
and solutions diverge (as well as converge), and thus to conceptual underpinnings that have important real-life consequences
in these organizational settings of higher education. The programs that regard issues, problems, and solutions of women in
science and engineering as rooted in “institutional/structural-centered,” as opposed to “individual/student-centered,” perspectives
are associated with the most positive outcomes in undergraduate degrees awarded to women in science and engineering.

Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins tells the archetypal story of the young, virgin, orphan girl who is vulnerable to either debauchery or rescue. That such
a girl must succumb to either one or the other is a necessary element of the archetype. In O’Dell’s work—one intended, after
all, for children—the heroine is rescued by a paternalistic figure and re-inscribed into the patriarchal world. Yet, in the
hands of young readers, Island—part fairytale, part rescue narrative, part feminist parable—becomes a story of independence and survival, despite the heroine’s
“rescue” at the end.

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.

This exploratory study examines the learning beliefs of high and low achieving, low-income Mexican-American students. Semi-structured
interviews were conducted with 11 ninth grade students. The qualitative analysis shows that students’ perceptions of their
teachers’ expectations of a “good” student or a “not so good” student did not differ along achievement lines. However, the
students’ perceptions about what it means to be a good student differentiated the low-achievers from the high-achievers. This
study’s findings may be used to inform educators about Mexican-American students’ orientation towards school and learning,
in hopes for creating more equitable educational settings where all students achieve to their fullest potential.

The notion of historical “parallelism” revisited: historical evolution and students’ conception of the order relation on the number line 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
This paper associates the findings of a historical study with those of an empirical one with 16 years-old students (1st year
of the Greek Lyceum). It aims at examining critically the much-discussed and controversial relation between the historical
evolution of mathematical concepts and the process of their teaching and learning. The paper deals with the order relation
on the number line and the algebra of inequalities, trying to elucidate the development and functioning of this knowledge
both in the world of scholarly mathematical activity and the world of teaching and learning mathematics in secondary education.
This twofold analysis reveals that the old idea of a “parallelism” between history and pedagogy of mathematics has a subtle
nature with at least two different aspects (metaphorically named “positive” and “negative”), which are worth further exploration.

Racializing educational change: Melting pot and mosaic influences on educational policy and practice
Allison Skerrett 《Journal of Educational Change》2008,9(3):261-280
This article racializes educational change by examining literature on the history of educational approaches to diversity in
the United States and Ontario, Canada to demonstrate how their respective national myths for engaging with diversity—the melting
pot and mosaic—have impacted their educational policies and practices over three definable eras of educational change. The
educational policies and practices of the two countries are evaluated in relation to four significant and—within the existing
literature—widely used political and educational strategies for responding to racial and ethnocultural diversity in schools.
The paper cautions that the current era of curriculum standardization and high stakes assessments that reflects a melting
pot approach to education reinstitutes and reinforces an inequitable vertical mosaic structure of schooling experiences and
outcomes for diverse student populations. It urges policy makers to consider how the current movement toward post-standardization,
which reflects a mosaic approach, is presently influencing educational policy and practice in international contexts and achieving
more just and effective learning outcomes for diverse student groups.

The form factors of handheld computers make them increasingly popular among K-12 educators. Although some compelling examples
of educational software for handhelds exist, we believe that the potential of this platform are just being discovered. This
paper reviews innovative applications for mobile computing for both education and entertainment purposes, and then proposes
a framework for approaching handheld applications we call “augmented reality educational gaming.” We then describe our development
process in creating a development platform for augmented reality games that draws from rapid prototyping, learner-centered
software, and contemporary game design methodologies. We provide a narrative case study of our development activities spread
across five case studies with classrooms, and provide a design narrative explaining this development process and articulate
an approach to designing educational software on emerging technology platforms. Pedagogical, design, and technical conclusions
and implications are discussed.

This article examines how variation in educational outcomes according to “place,” or one’s geographic environment, has been
explained in educational theory. In a critical review of functional, conflict, cultural and institutional theory in education,
the author describes the disciplinary perspectives and research that leave the mechanisms of student differentiation according
to place largely undeveloped. By introducing two related concepts of endogenous capital, the author articulates macro- and
micro-level systems of social mobility between and within schools according to place. The author contends the social organization
and functioning of schools mirror and support the larger structure of place-based stratification in that they sort and allocate
students into places within school that differentiate one’s ability to convert the resources of the environment into social
mobility.

Sung-Ae Lee 《Children‘s Literature in Education》2008,39(2):85-93
A recent controversy in the USA centres on classroom use of Yoko Kawashima Watkins’s semi-autobiographical So Far from the Bamboo Grove (1986), a novel focused on the flight of Japanese settler families to Japan after the liberation of Korea at the end of World
War II. Taught in a literary and historical vacuum under the thematic umbrella of “courage and survival,” the novel has been
criticised as an example of “perpetrator as victim” representation. Because of its assumed high “truth value,” life-writing
positions itself very specifically as a narrative of a “witness” recounting her story. The resultant authentication of suffering
may thereby render issues of historicity effectively irrelevant. Diverse interpretative communities may thus read the novel
in incompatible ways.

In this commentary on Brayboy and Castagno’s paper, published in this volume, we discuss, on the one hand, many points of
agreement between their proposal of culturally responsive schooling for indigenous youth and El-Hani and Mortimer’s proposal
of culturally-sensitive science education. On the other hand, we focus on a key disagreement, not only with Brayboy and Castagno,
but with a whole body of literature on multicultural, postcolonialist, postmodernist education. The main point of disagreement
lies in the fact that we are not sure that to broaden the concept of science so as to talk about “native science” or “indigenous
science” is indeed the best strategy to attain a goal that we wholeheartedly share with Brayboy and Castagno, to value other
ways of knowing for their own sake, validity, and legitimacy.

This article examines three novels which use stories of elves—especially the ballad “Tam Lin”—as pre-texts, and contemplates
how they explore the issue of Otherness. The three novels are The Sterkarm Handshake by Susan Price, Cold Tom by Sally Prue, and Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones. Although the novels seem to be about elves as Other, they can be read as observations on human nature
and human relationships. The article speculates on how encounters with the Other illuminate what humans are like and how these
contacts affect the human characters by making them see themselves in a different light.

This study explores the extent to which the term “sex hormone” is used in science textbooks, and whether the use of the term
“sex hormone” is associated with pre-empirical concepts of sex dualism, in particular the misconceptions that these so-called
“sex hormones” are sex specific and restricted to sex-related physiological functioning. We found that: (1) all the texts
employed the term “sex hormone”; (2) in all texts estrogen is characterized as restricted to females and testosterone is characterized
as restricted to males; and (3) in all texts testosterone and estrogen are discussed as exclusively involved in sex-related
physiological roles. We conclude that (1) contemporary science textbooks preserve sex-dualistic models of steroid hormones
(one sex, one “sex hormone”) that were rejected by medical science in the early 20th century and (2) use of the term “sex
hormone” is associated with misconceptions regarding the presence and functions of steroid hormones in male and female bodies.
