Professional Cultures and Collaborative Efforts: A Case Study of Technologists and Educators Working for Change     

Ann Locke Davidson  Janet Schofield  Janet Stocks 《The Information Society》2001,17(1):21-32

The need for those working in a variety of settings to interact effectively with technical experts has grown dramatically in recent years as computers have become essential to the performance of an increasing broad range of professional work. This article presents a case of this sort of interprofessional interaction, exploring the process and outcomes of collaboration between technical professionals and educators working to bring Internet access to an urban public school district. Drawing on field note and interview data, the case reported here illustrates how differences in institutional routines and professional values can generate differing agendas, contrasting assumptions, and contrasting expectations concerning project products and outcomes among collaborators from different professional worlds. In the case we describe, these differences affected such central matters as the types and usefulness of technical resources to which users had access as well as users' confidence in the technology. The case also illustrates how aspects of this interprofessional conflict were addressed through an organizational change. The kinds of issues that arose in this project are likely to occur in a variety of professional settings; therefore, examination of this case provides insight into a variety of issues and dynamics that should be considered when embarking upon or analyzing any interprofessional collaborative effort, and particularly one that involves technical professionals.  相似文献

Providing Bottom-Up Support to Middle School Science Teachers’ Reform Efforts in Using Inquiry-Based Kits     

Mark T. Jones  Charles J. Eick 《Journal of Science Teacher Education》2007,18(6):913-934

Middle grades science teachers need professional support in practice as they implement new inquiry-based science. Professional development schools can provide this bottom-up support through connecting preservice and inservice teacher education programs in classroom practice. In this study, coteaching arrangements with secondary science education majors provided additional teachers in the classroom to support a materials-rich curriculum and the needed associated pedagogies. Science education majors provided needed assistance in troubleshooting difficulties with the new curriculum. They also provided needed content knowledge to support inquiry, along with creating moments and space for teachers to reflect on inquiry practice. Ongoing assistance by preservice teachers allowed inservice teachers to progress from logistical concerns in implementing kit curriculum to concerns regarding student learning and the supporting professional development.

Describing students of the African Diaspora: Understanding micro and meso level science learning as gateways to standards based discourse   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Ed Lehner 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2007,2(2):441-473

In much of the educational literature, researchers make little distinction between African-American students and students of the African Diaspora who immigrated to the United States. Failing to describe these salient student differences serves to perpetuate an inaccurate view of African-American school life. In today’s large cities, students of the African Diaspora are frequently learning science in settings that are devoid of the resources and tools to fully support their success. While much of the scholarship unites these disparate groups, this article details the distinctive learning culture created when students from several groups of the African Diaspora learn biology together in a Brooklyn Suspension Center. Specifically this work explains how one student, Gabriel, functions in a biology class. A self-described black-Panamanian, Gabriel had tacitly resigned to not learning science, which then, in effect, precluded him from any further associated courses of study in science, and may have excluded him from the possibility of a science related career. This ethnography follows Gabriel’s science learning as he engaged in cogenerative dialogue with teachers to create aligned learning and teaching practices. During the 5 months of this research, Gabriel drew upon his unique lifeworld and the depth of his hybridized cultural identity to produce limited, but nonetheless important demonstrations of science. Coexistent with his involvement in cogenerative dialogue, Gabriel helped to construct many classroom practices that supported a dynamic learning environment which produced small yet concrete examples of standards based biology. This study supports further investigation by the science education community to consider ways that students’ lifeworld experiences can serve to structure and transform the urban science classroom.

The historical context of science and education at the American Museum of Natural History     

Jennifer D. Adams 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2007,2(2):393-440

In this article I critically examine the historical context of science education in a natural history museum and its relevance to using museum resources to teach science today. I begin with a discussion of the historical display of race and its relevance to my practice of using the Museum’s resources to teach science. I continue with a critical review of the history of the education department in a natural history museum to demonstrate the historical constitution of current practices of the education department. Using sociocultural constructs around identity formation and transformation, I move to the present with a case study of a teacher who transforms the structure of science education in her classroom and school as a result of her identity transformation and association with a museum-based professional education program.

Communicating feedback in teaching practice supervision in a learning-oriented field experience assessment framework

身份认同:青少年文化母题及其当代表征     

班建武 《教育科学》2011,27(5)

身份认同作为青少年文化母题的基本内容,导源于青少年时期内在的特殊矛盾。与80前青少年相比,当代青少年在认同话语、认同方式、认同策略以及认同的基本价值内核等方面都呈现出明显的符号消费的特征。这与社会财富的空前增多,公民个人生活自主权的扩大、大众文化与传媒在当代青少年生活中的全面渗透,以及独生子女政策的实施等都有很大的关系。  相似文献   

文化反思与打造传统     

吴秀杰 《新疆师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2011,32(6)

对传统民族民间文化遗产的保护、搜集和整理是建构民族和地区认同感的重要文化手段.但是,在搜集整理的操作技术后面是怎样的逻辑和动力?文章介绍和分析了Michael Herzfeld的"文化性的私密"的分析框架,以及Nathan Light关于新疆"十二木卡姆"搜集整理的个案研究,指出在所谓的对有代表性的文化传统展示,其实是多方磋商的结果,其过程、动机和逻辑都有值得进行人类学反思的地方."文化传统保护"这一领域正是可以贯通民间文学、民俗学与人类学的中间地带.  相似文献
