‘Teaching’ the path towards university: understanding student access through storied-futures and meritocratic grand narratives     

Neil Anthony Buddel 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2018,39(1):16-31

The notion that the stories of our lives shape dispositions towards imagined futures is another lens through which university underrepresentation should be viewed. A storied lens attends to how futures, like university attendance, are storied during childhood to the extent that some youth imagine, and therefore plan, these futures as natural progression. Such was the case for study participants, indicating that childhood stories contain answers for mitigating social reproduction connected to parental education and cultural forces within the home. Examining social mobility through the underexplored storied-futures grand narrative presents unique solutions that lay hidden within the dominant meritocratic grand narrative.  相似文献

A Pastoral Care Teacher's Theory of Action, Interactive Thinking and Effective Teaching Practice     

Anthony H. R. Chittenden 《Pastoral Care in Education》2002,20(1):3-10

Through the employment of a hybrid research model blending concept mapping and stimulated recall methodologies, this study explored the nature of a Pastoral Care Teacher's theory of action; the relationship between those beliefs and ideals and interactive thinking; and specific actions in effectively teaching a Pastoral Care issue. In undertaking the research a group of Year Eight boys at the Anglican Church Grammar School (Churchie) provided the context. The study shows that: (i) the teacher possessed a broad knowledge and understanding of the nature of Pastoral Care at Churchie; and (ii) the lessons undertaken, the pedagogy employed, and the knowledge elicited closely resembled the teacher's philosophies and thinking.  相似文献   

Correlates of verbally aggressive communication in adolescents     

Charles Atkin  Sandi Smith  Anthony Roberto  Thomas Fediuk  Thomas Wagner 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2002,30(3):251-268

This investigation identifies demographic, media, and social correlates of verbally aggressive communication in adolescence. Mail surveys were completed and returned by 2,300 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 15. These adolescents were asked about the prevalence of verbal and physical aggression, the context in which it occurred, demographics, and the interpersonal and media influences in their lives. The results indicate that verbal aggression is widespread, that committing and experiencing verbal aggression is largely reciprocal, that there is a strong relationship between committing verbal and physical aggression, and that peer social influence and listening to violently oriented music are mildly related to verbal aggression in adolescents. These findings suggest more resources should be allocated to teaching adolescents to understand and control verbal aggression. Further, they provide important answers to many prevention and intervention programmatic questions, including context, content, and targeting concerns. Since the negative consequences of verbal aggression are severe and long lasting, decreasing this destructive communication behavior should significantly improve the lives of many adolescents. These and other practical implications are expanded upon and discussed.  相似文献

Global University Education: Some Cultural Considerations     

Leslie Croxford 《Higher Education in Europe》2001,26(1):53-60

Global education is advancing rapidly as a result of recent developments in communications. Yet cyber universities and on-line study are never likely to replace, altogether, the traditional terrestrial locations that also globalize higher education. These places on the ground bring with them human populations, each with its own culture. So culture needs to be taken into account, especially if any given system of education is to venture into foreign societies. Such cultural issues are the focus of this article. More particularly, it considers the cultural tensions provoked by the requirements that American liberal arts education imposes on different constituencies of foreign students with respect to study skills.  相似文献
