Noticing Children’s Learning Processes – Teachers Jointly Reflect on Their Own Classroom Interaction for Improving Mathematics Teaching     

Petra Scherer  Heinz Steinbring 《Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education》2006,9(2):157-185

One could focus on many different aspects of improving the quality of mathematics teaching. For a better understanding of children’s mathematical learning processes or teaching and learning in general, reflection on and analysis of concrete classroom situations are of major importance. On the basis of experiences gained in a collaborative research project with elementary school teachers, several ideas about a professional reflection on one’s own instruction activities are explained. The paper focuses on joint reflection between teachers and researchers on the participating teacher’s own classroom interaction by means of concrete examples. It becomes clear that changes of one’s own interaction behavior will take place only in the long-term. Nevertheless such a joint professional reflection should be an essential component of teachers’ professional knowledge in a natural way.  相似文献   

Toward a cognitive schemata theory of self-instruction     

Jack Martin 《Instructional Science》1984,13(2):159-180

An initial outline of a cognitive schemata theory of self-instruction is presented. Three levels of schemata are described briefly. Attention then is devoted to the cognitive organization and operation of these schemata in relation to procedural and declarative knowledge stores, and in relation to everchanging situational information. The primary objective is to provide an initial basis for conceptualizing the cognitive competence required for self-instruction.Requests for reprints should be directed to Jack Martin, Associate Professor, at the above address. Work on this paper was begun while the author was an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University.  相似文献   

Politische Sozialisation Jugendlicher in der Nachwendezeit     

Heinz Reinders 《Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft》2001,4(2):239-262

Eine Durchsicht des Forschungsstandes zum Themenkomplex ‘Jugend und Politik’ macht schnell deutlich, dass dem gro?en Interesse der Forschenden an politischen Einstellungen Heranwachsender ein nur geringes Interesse der Jugendlichen selbst an politischen Fragen gegenübersteht. Aus einer p?dagogischen Perspektive heraus wird diesem Umstand dadurch Rechnung getragen, dass bei der Entstehung politischer Einstellungen an dem Thema angeknüpft wird, welches Jugendliche an Gesellschaft interessiert, genauer: beunruhigt. Für die 90er-Jahre scheint dies die Problematik der eigenen beruflichen Integration zu sein, was nahe legt, die Genese politischer Einstellungen an die Antizipation der beruflichen Integration zu koppeln. Hierfür werden auf der Basis des Entwicklungsaufgaben-Konzeptes theoretische Grundlagen erarbeitet und empirische Evidenzen aufgezeigt.  相似文献   

A taxomony of Engineering Design tasks and its applicability to university Engineering Education     

Ray Thomas  Jack Izatt 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2003,28(4):535-547

Engineering Design is rightfully regarded as a key element within all university Engineering courses and most laboratory assignments and project work seek to optimise the student's acquisition of knowledge and understanding of this process. Within this paper Engineering Design has been classified into a new 'hierarchy of task level' each one defined by an increased degree of design freedom that an Engineer has to consider. It is argued that this classification accurately reflects the varying complexity of tasks found within real world industrial environment. The optimal matching of these task levels to university course assignments is discussed and limitations identified. The need for further design experience within a wider industrial context is shown to be essential if the nature of design freedom is to be fully appreciated by the next generation of professional Engineers.  相似文献   

Selecting the Qualified: A Standards-Based Teacher Education Admission Process     

Peter R. Denner  Stephanie A. Salzman  Jack D. Newsome 《Journal of Personnel Evaluation in Education》2001,15(3):165-180

A standards-based admission process for qualifying caring and competent candidates for teacher preparation is presented. The major elements of the admission process include prerequisite standards that address the knowledge, dispositions, and skills candidates should possess upon entrance to the teacher education program; multiple assessments that evaluate the prerequisite standards; and an admission interview process that involves collaboration of arts and sciences faculty, education faculty, undergraduate students, and professionals from the field. A unique aspect of the admission process is its strong focus on dispositional standards. Emphasis is placed on qualifying future teachers into teacher education programs based upon demonstrated evidence of their meeting defensible and education community supported admission standards.  相似文献

Advocacy for gender minority students: recommendations for school counsellors     

Jack D. Simons  Matthew J. Beck  Nancy R. Asplund  Christian D. Chan  Rebekah Byrd 《Sex education》2018,18(4):464-478

Abstract

Research shows that teachers’ and educators’ responses to gender diversity issues in schools either improves or limits the experiences of students. The school counsellor has an important role to play in this process by working closely with other stakeholders to advocate for transgender, intersex and genderqueer (TIG) students. Following a review of recent developments in the USA, recommendations are made and resources identified to assist school counsellors in validating TIG students, and improving school systems in pursuit of their academic, social and emotional success.  相似文献   

Freiwilligenarbeit und politische Engagementbereitschaft in der Adoleszenz     

PD Dr. Heinz Reinders 《Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft》2006,9(4):599-616

In diesem Beitrag wird der Frage nachgegangen, unter welchen Bedingungen die Freiwilligenarbeit Jugendlicher einen Einfluss auf die Bereitschaft zu politischer Partizipation besitzt. Theoretisch wird die Frage mit Bezug auf die Theorie gemeinnütziger T?tigkeit beantwortet. Diese besagt, dass nicht prim?r das soziale Engagement, sondern die beim Engagement gemachten Erfahrungen relevant sind für das Ausma? politischer Beteiligungsbereitschaft. Diese Annahme wird durch zwei Untersuchungen (N₁ = 222; N₂ = 1.431) bei Jugendlichen geprüft. Die Befunde beider Studien stützen die These, dass Freiwilligenarbeit nicht direkt, sondern vermittelt über die im Zuge des Engagements entwickelte Prosozialit?t und die gemachten Erfahrungen das Ausma? politischer Beteiligungsbereitschaft vorhersagt.  相似文献   

The effect of gender composition of faculty on student retention     

John Robst  Jack Keil  Dean Russo 《Economics of Education Review》1998,17(4):429-439

The gender composition of faculty is an important issue on many campuses. Substantial efforts are taken by colleges to hire a diverse faculty where women are equitably represented. Several papers suggest that female faculty can act as role models for female students. This issue is particularly emphasized in science and engineering programs. However, empirical research finds mixed support for this hypothesis. We provide a new test of this issue by examining whether female students have higher first-year retention rates when a greater percentage of their classes are taught by female faculty. There is a positive relationship between retention of female students and the percentage of their science and mathematics classes taught by female faculty. Also faculty gender has a greater impact on female students when their classes have few female students. Thus this study provides support for gender-based programs for hiring.  相似文献   

Accountability and Student Learning     

Jack Frymier 《Journal of Personnel Evaluation in Education》1998,12(3):233-235

Holding teachers accountable for other people's (students) behavior is inappropriate policy that results in ineffective teaching, diminished enthusiasm for learning, and lower levels of achievement. There are both legal and psychological reasons for this. Making teachers responsible for students' behavior absolves students of responsibility for their own actions and develops an externalized locus of control in students that leads to teacher control and student dependence. Because every person is accountable for his or her own behavior but not for what other people do, teachers must be held accountable for what they do as teachers but not for what their students do as learners. Students are responsible for their own learning.  相似文献
