This formative intervention documents the emergence of a hybrid activity aiming at student engagement and academic achievement. In this context-bound study, early stages of this activity consisted in establishing PénArt meant to enable high school students with difficulties to start up their own business at school. It involved reaching agreements between a high school and a youth centre so that high school students engage in the production and selling of their branded t-shirt. At the frontiers of their respective activity system, students, youth workers, special education teachers and members of the school board took actions to cross boundaries and redefine their interrelations. Cultural historical activity theory was fruitful to document the development of a new object-oriented activity. Tensions and contradictions revelaled to be the key moments in the emergence of the hybrid activity. Expansive learning led us to understand that, in a conflicting situation, a collective’s agentive actions create an expansive form of learning and leads to a successful entrepreneurship experience. Change laboratory capacity to foster change for cooperative education in Quebec was successful. The students enrolled in a regional entrepreneurship contest and won it. That was a significant event for students with low self-esteem linked with their performance at school.  相似文献   

Disrupting a learning environment for promotion of geometry teaching     

Zingiswa Jojo 《Africa Education Review》2017,14(3-4):245-262

Creating a classroom learning environment that is suitably designed for promotion of learners’ performance in geometry, a branch of mathematics that addresses spatial sense and geometric reasoning, is a daunting task. This article focuses on how grade 8 teachers’ action learning changed the learning environment for the promotion of geometry teaching. This was an exploratory study in which a sample of 13 grade 8 mathematics teachers from the rural schools of a district in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa participated in a project aimed at creating mathematical learning environments through action learning while supporting and promoting the teaching of geometry. The study was qualitative and data was collected using questionnaires, classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with the teachers on a participatory action research conducted in two cycles. Results indicated that 92% of teachers changed their classroom environments by modifying instructional strategies, learner -interactions, and engagements, but could not change how they managed the classrooms due to some factors related to power dynamics andthe education policy. It is recommended that teachers be workshopped on modifying their classroom learning environments while they undergo learning in action on the promotion of teaching and learning geometry in their school defining contexts.  相似文献   

Leveling the playing field in ICT design: Transcending knowledge roles by balancing division and privileging of knowledges     

Rachel N. Simons  Kenneth R. Fleischmann  Loriene Roy 《The Information Society》2020,36(4):183-198

Abstract

This article develops a conceptual model of users’ and designers’ knowledge roles in the information and communication technology design process. The “ideal” center at the intersection of the axes for division of knowledge work and privileging of knowledges represents a balanced distribution of knowledge work between users and designers and an avoidance of privileging either group over the other. The article then applies this model to analyses of the design process for six video games wherein the knowledges of Indigenous peoples in North America were mobilized. It concludes by discussing implications for research and design practice, particularly for broadening the participation and self-articulation of marginalized groups.  相似文献

国外思想库的知识管理   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

侯经川 《科研管理》2004,25(6):23-27,12

目前关于“知识管理”的讨论，主要集中在企业领域，即集中在企业知识管理和建立知识型企业的问题上。其实，在“知识管理”的概念产生以前，知识管理活动和知识型组织就早已出现。战后在西方发达国家产生的思想库，就是一种典型的知识型组织。本文从知识过程管理、知识成果管理、知识者管理和知识资源环境管理四个角度对国外著名思想库的知识管理活动作了一个初步的考察。  相似文献

工作秘密就是各级国家机关在其公务活动和内部管理中产生的不属于国家秘密而又不宜对外公开的事项，工作秘密范围的不确定性和随意性导致了政府信息公开与保密的界限不清，进行政府信息公开立法就必须对我国的工作秘密进行严格界定与限制。  相似文献
