“Things your history teacher won't teach you: Science edition”: Black women science teachers as anti-racist teachers     

Alexis D. Riley  Felicia Moore Mensah 《科学教学研究杂志》2024,61(4):809-840

Marginalized communities cannot and do not have decontextualized experiences with how socioscientific issues, such as exposure to COVID-19 as frontline essential workers, high Black infant mortality rates, air pollution leading to respiratory problems, and other issues, affect their communities. As PreK-12 science teachers and teacher educators strive to dismantle oppressive practices in their classrooms and curriculum, it would be helpful to learn from Black women science teachers who have been engaging in anti-racist practices before the racial awakenings of Summer 2020. In this study, three different virtual focus groups, or Sista Circles, were conducted with 18 Black women secondary science teachers. Ranging from 1 to 22 years of experience, Black women teachers across the country and international participants in Canada and Qatar participated in the Sista Circles. From intersectional qualitative analysis and narrative inquiry, the findings of the study reveal that Black women science teachers enact anti-racist science teaching by bringing something new to the community; using NGSS standards within the context of the community; teaching at the intersection of history, culture, and science learning and teaching; and building critical consciousness in the science classroom. Furthermore, the findings of the study have implications for the use of anti-racist frameworks within the context of science education that were authentically the practices of the Black women in the study. This study offers insights into how the critical consciousness of Black women teachers can be represented in the science classroom even in times of nonsupport from peers and administration. The power and necessity of Black women teachers are paramount in science classrooms specifically because of the neutral, apolitical ways science teaching has been approached in the past. The narratives and stories shared here exemplify how Black women science teachers transform science teaching and learning by displaying various acts of Criticality.  相似文献

The quantity versus the distribution of teacher behavior     

Alexis L. Mitman 《Teaching and Teacher Education》1985,1(3):175-185

The overall quantity and distribution of teacher interaction are the respective concerns of research on teacher effectiveness and research on teacher expectations. Factors that have kept both these research areas and their applications to teacher education distinct are considered. Limitations of teacher education programs that deal with either the quantity or distribution of teacher behavior are noted. Next, research that examines both indices of teacher behavior is considered. The paper ends with suggestions for how the content and sequencing of teacher education programs could benefit from an integration of quantity and distribution concerns.  相似文献   

THE PRESS AND CANDIDATE IMAGES     

Patterson  Thomas E. 《Int. Journal of Public Opinion Research》1989,1(2):123-135

An examination of the news images of US presidential candidatessuggests that journalists portray candidates in ways consistentwith their position in the race. Strong candidates were generallygiven strong news images and weak candidates were saddled withweak images. Significantly, this pattern held also for the samecandidate if his position in the race changed. In 1988 Bush'snews image went from weak to strong when he surged ahead inthe polls during the general election. Such news images appearto affect voters' images of the candidates: to some degree,voters accept journalists' portrayals of the candidates.  相似文献   

A relevance feedback mechanism for cluster-based retrieval     

Niall Rooney  David Patterson  Mykola Galushka  Vladimir Dobrynin 《Information processing & management》2006

Contextual document clustering is a novel approach which uses information theoretic measures to cluster semantically related documents bound together by an implicit set of concepts or themes of narrow specificity. It facilitates cluster-based retrieval by assessing the similarity between a query and the cluster themes’ probability distribution. In this paper, we assess a relevance feedback mechanism, based on query refinement, that modifies the query’s probability distribution using a small number of documents that have been judged relevant to the query. We demonstrate that by providing only one relevance judgment, a performance improvement of 33% was obtained.  相似文献   

The effect of context on student engagement in engineering     

Eann A. Patterson  Patricia B. Campbell  Ilene Busch-Vishniac  Darrell W. Guillaume 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2011,36(3):211-224

The self-belief, motivation, tendency to procrastinate and learning styles of engineering students are discussed. It is proposed that engineering has developed an idiom and a learning approach that favours the dominant client, i.e. men, while simultaneously undermining the self-efficacy and motivation of women. Thematic coherence and teaching within a context that is familiar to students have been shown previously to be effective approaches for engaging students and are extended here to utilise the common experiences of all students to initiate the learning cycle. These approaches are combined with a template for teaching that uses the 5Es (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate) in order to render the fundamentals of engineering more accessible to all students. This methodology can be introduced by individual instructors, who will be rewarded by students who are more engaged, more motivated and more likely to give a higher rating to the instructor and the course.  相似文献   

Decreasing the proportion of self-control trials during the acquisition period does not compromise the learning advantages in a self-controlled context     

Patterson JT  Carter M  Sanli E 《Research quarterly for exercise and sport》2011,82(4):624-633

The present experiment examined the learning effects of participants self-controlling their receipt of knowledge of results (KR) on all or half of their acquisition trials (50%). For participants who were provided 50% self-control, the first half of their acquisition period consisted of receiving KR on all trials, or according to a faded-KR schedule. Participants practiced a sequential timing task. The results showed that independent of practice condition, participants who self-controlled their KR during the acquisition period demonstrated superior performance compared to the respective yoked conditions in the retention and transfer portion of the experiment. These results extend previous research by suggesting that decreasing the proportion of self-control trials does not compromise learning in a self-controlled context.  相似文献
