Pluralistic societies are generally characterised by weak national cohesiveness, increasing the risk of political tension and violent conflict; for communities from diverse religious or ethnic backgrounds, peaceful coexistence alone is insufficient to build the social cohesion needed for sustainable development and lasting peace. As an effective environment for advancing intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding and positive interaction through active participation in learning activities, schools can form a part of a comprehensive strategy to enhance social cohesion in pluralistic societies. Using Lebanon as a case study, this article shows how decades of political and socioeconomic injustice in combination with poor education policies have perpetuated the dominance of a monocultural school climate, leaving Lebanese society divided and vulnerable to violence and conflict. Although education reforms have focused on nation building and nationalism, these have failed to promote a multicultural school climate, social cohesion or national identity. Educating students in this climate has prevented intercultural interaction and dialogue, instead reinforcing intragroup solidarity and intergroup competition and leading in turn to poor social cohesion.
多元社会的特点一般是民族凝聚力弱,增加了政治紧张和暴力冲突的风险;对于具有不同宗教或种族背景的社区来说,仅靠和平共处不足以建立可持续发展和持久和平所需的社会凝聚力。学校是通过积极参与学习活动促进文化间对话、相互理解和积极互动的有效环境,可以成为在多元社会中加强社会凝聚力的综合战略的一部分。本文以黎巴嫩为例,展示了数十年来的政治和社会经济不公正,加上糟糕的教育政策,如何使单一文化的学校环境长期占据主导地位,使黎巴嫩社会分裂,容易受到暴力和冲突的影响。尽管教育改革的重点是国家建设和民族主义,但这些改革未能促进多元文化的学校氛围、社会凝聚力或民族认同。在这种氛围下教育学生阻碍了文化间的互动和对话,反而加强了群体内的团结和群体间的竞争,进而导致社会凝聚力低下。

This article presents a framework for Gender Facilitative Schools advocating safe schools for transgender, gender expansive, and questioning children. This framework was constructed on the bases of a qualitative study of a transgender student with experiences in both gender restrictive and gender facilitative elementary schools and supporting literature. It addresses climate, language and narratives, curricular and extracurricular inclusion, professional development and partnership, and policy that can be used for improving schools.

Teams of teachers and administrators have become more and more common as a framework for improving responsiveness to the ever more dynamic educational environment. Although teamwork is often expected to broaden the team’s collective knowledge base, consequently improving team effectiveness, research shows that this potential effectiveness is not always reached. The article seeks to explore the concept of collective doubting – the inquiry into routine and habitual perceptions and assumptions – and its importance to the teamwork processes, a topic that has been vastly under-investigated in the educational context. Specifically, we propose that collective doubting in the teamwork process has a dynamic nature, and that the doubting process should be carefully considered in the context of different stages in team development. Our goal is to increase both theoretical and practical knowledge about the process of collective doubt in such a way as to facilitate team effectiveness. We further seek to delineate the internal and external activities in which principals can engage to promote a constructive doubting process in the team context. Implications for principals, as well as for further avenues of research, are suggested.
教师和管理人员团队作为提高对日益动态的教育环境的响应能力的框架,变得越来越普遍。尽管团队合作通常被期望扩大团队的集体知识库,从而提高团队的有效性,但研究表明,这种潜在的有效性并不总是能达到的。这篇文章试图探讨集体怀疑的概念——对日常和习惯性认知和假设的探究——及其对团队合作过程的重要性,这是一个在教育背景下研究不足的话题。具体而言,我们提出团队合作过程中的集体怀疑具有动态性质,应在团队发展的不同阶段仔细考虑怀疑过程。我们的目标是增加关于集体怀疑过程的理论和实践知识,以促进团队的有效性。我们进一步寻求描述校长可以参与的内部和外部活动,以促进团队背景下的建设性怀疑过程。提出了对校长以及进一步研究途径的启示。

This community-based participatory research study examined the perspectives of parent participants in an organized parent network in Detroit seeking the best school options for their children entering Kindergarten within city boundaries. Their residency and school choices have emerged against the grain of public schools that have racially charged histories and decades of residential mobility trends. Examined are ways in which the parent network researched, collaborated, and made informed public, private, and charter school choices. Through the lens of Freire’s concept of praxis, interviews documented parents’ perspectives during the inception year for fulfilling school and community linkages and roles in improving city schools and enhanced knowledge of traits of successful schools that inform expectations for curriculum, school culture, and impressions of school visits.
这项基于社区的参与性研究考察了底特律一个有组织的家长网络中家长参与者的观点,为他们的孩子在城市边界内进入幼儿园寻找最佳的学校选择。他们的居住权和学校选择与公立学校背道而驰,公立学校有着种族歧视的历史和几十年的居住流动趋势。审查的是家长网络研究、合作并在知情的情况下选择公立、私立和特许学校的方式。通过Freire实践概念的视角,访谈记录了家长在开学一年中对实现学校和社区联系的看法,以及在改善城市学校方面的作用,并增强了对成功学校特征的了解,这些特征为课程、学校文化和访学印象提供了信息。

Traditionally, student leadership has been seen as the prerogative of senior students. Very little research has been conducted on how schools nurture and develop leadership skills in students in the middle years of schooling. This article provides an overview of student leadership in six secondary schools with a particular focus on student leadership opportunities in the middle years. These schools were drawn from the Government, Catholic and Independent sectors in Western Australia. Specifically, the opinions and experiences of either principals or their delegates were sought in order to develop a sense of the importance placed on student leadership in the middle years and the types of leadership opportunities available to students. Initially, the literature is reviewed on student leadership per se and student leadership in the middle years. This review is followed by an outline of the purpose, research question and significance of the research. The research methodology is then explained, providing a summary of participants, the school contexts and methods of data collection and analysis. The subsequent section on results and discussion highlights three themes: the role of teacher leaders, student leadership structures in middle years and the holistic development of middle year students. The article concludes by providing a number of recommendations, in particular, the need to gain a ‘student voice’ in any understanding of student leadership at the middle school.
传统上,学生领导力被视为高年级学生的特权。关于学校如何培养和发展学生在中学时期的领导技能,研究很少。本文概述了六所中学的学生领导力,特别关注学生在中学的领导力机会。这些学校来自西澳大利亚的政府、天主教和独立部门。具体而言,征求校长或其代表的意见和经验,以培养学生对中学学生领导力的重视程度,以及学生可获得的领导力机会类型。首先,对学生领导力本身和中学学生领导力的文献进行了回顾。本文概述了本研究的目的、研究问题和意义。然后解释了研究方法,提供了参与者、学校背景以及数据收集和分析方法的摘要。随后关于结果和讨论的部分强调了三个主题:教师领导者的作用、中学生的领导结构和中学生的整体发展。文章最后提出了一些建议,特别是在理解中学学生领导力时,需要获得“学生的声音”。

Stroll into students’ learning: Acts to unload teachers’ values through the practices of lesson study for learning community in Vietnam 走进学生的学习:通过越南学习型社区的课程学习实践来卸载教师的价值观
IF 1.6 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2018-07-01 DOI: 10.1177/1365480217717530

In studies on teacher professional development, the embodiment of teachers’ values in professional practice has emerged as an important area of focus. Employing the sociocultural approach, this study discusses the link between teachers’ acts and underlying values based on a Vietnamese teacher’s detailed field notes on cases of school reform through the introduction of Japanese lesson study for learning community. Drawing on the concepts of inspection and stroll, the study describes the discrepancy between conventional observational acts and emerging ones. Inspection refers to the actions and values held by teachers that underline compliance with the prescribed curriculum and educational bureaucratic procedures, while stroll refers to a disposition that entails actions and values appreciating each pupil’s existence and learning as it is, without rigid bureaucratic perspectives. The finding was that the teacher’s act of stroll embeds new underlying values in her/his professional work; similarly, how she/he performs a stroll could inform her/his professional knowledge and identity. Lesson study can offer the teacher the experience of seeing self that generates the possible momentum of these parallel shifts.
在教师专业发展研究中,教师价值观在专业实践中的体现已成为一个重要的关注领域。本研究采用社会文化的方法,以一位越南教师对学校改革案例的详细实地记录为基础,探讨教师行为与潜在价值观之间的联系,并引入日语课程研究。利用观察和漫步的概念,该研究描述了传统观察行为与新兴观察行为之间的差异。检查指的是教师的行为和价值观,强调遵守规定的课程和教育官僚程序,而漫步指的是一种性格,包括行动和价值观,欣赏每个学生的存在和学习,没有僵化的官僚主义观点。研究发现,教师的散步行为在她/他的专业工作中嵌入了新的潜在价值;同样,她/他如何散步也能体现出她/他的专业知识和身份。课程研究可以为教师提供看到自我的经验,从而产生这些平行转变的可能动力。

Shared sense-making strategies in curriculum reform: District-level perspective 课程改革中的共同意义制定策略:地区层面的视角

Curriculum reform that has an effect on the everyday practices in schools always entails translation of new ideas into new educational practices. This takes place primarily through shared sense making. However, our understanding of the different ways in which shared sense making is carried out is still scarce. In Finland, the district level plays an important intermediary role in orchestrating curriculum development work at the municipalities and in translating and mediating reform into school-level development work. The study explores different shared sense-making strategies employed by 12 district-level curriculum reform steering groups around Finland, including participants from 54 municipalities. Three hands-on strategies of shared sense making including comparison, standardisation and transformation were identified. The results indicated that different hands-on strategies have different functions in the process of making sense of the reform objectives. To a certain extent, the strategies can be viewed as hierarchical. Overall, results suggest that district-level actors aim to foster shared sense making; however, a more intentional use of strategies is needed.
课程改革影响到学校的日常实践,总是需要将新思想转化为新的教育实践。这主要是通过共同的感知来实现的。然而,我们对实现共同意义的不同方式的理解仍然很少。在芬兰,地区一级在协调市镇的课程开发工作以及将改革转化为学校一级的开发工作方面发挥着重要的中介作用。该研究探讨了芬兰12个区级课程改革指导小组采用的不同的共同感知策略,其中包括来自54个市镇的参与者。确定了三种分享意义的实践策略,包括比较、标准化和转变。研究结果表明,不同的实践策略在理解改革目标的过程中具有不同的作用。在某种程度上,这些策略可以被看作是分层的。总体而言,研究结果表明,地区一级的行动者旨在促进共同的感知;然而,需要更有意识地使用策略。

Evaluating teacher and school development by learning capital: A conceptual contribution to a fundamental problem 用学习资本评价教师和学校的发展:对一个基本问题的概念贡献
IF 1.6 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2018-06-27 DOI: 10.1177/1365480218784039

In light of an international policy movement to increase focus on students’ academic achievement, the question of how to improve schools has become an important issue at all levels in the school system. Substantial resources have been invested in reforms to improve conditions for pupils’ learning. Great expectations and responsibility are often placed on teachers in terms of their professional development (PD), the aim being to improve their teaching practices. Consequently, the question of how to evaluate the results of school improvement programmes, including teachers’ PD, has arisen. However, there is a lack of theoretical concepts that can capture the outcomes of such development in a qualified way. Taking inspiration from the research on teachers’ PD and theories relating to teachers’ knowledge and capabilities, the aim of this study is to outline a conceptual framework that can serve as an analytical tool when evaluating both school improvement initiatives in general and school actors’ learning in particular. Four types of learning capital that are intended to reflect the central aspects of teachers’ and school organisations’ learning and the capabilities linked to teaching practice and its development are outlined. This conceptual framework is applied and exemplified based on the results of a 3-year research project evaluating a school improvement programme in a Swedish municipality. Finally, some conclusions are drawn regarding the different types of analysis possible with the current conceptual framework related to the evaluation of school improvement efforts.
鉴于国际政策运动增加了对学生学业成绩的关注,如何改善学校的问题已成为学校系统各级的一个重要问题。为改善学生学习条件的改革投入了大量资源。在专业发展(PD)方面,教师往往被寄予很高的期望和责任,目的是提高他们的教学实践。因此,如何评估学校改善计划的结果,包括教师的个人发展的问题出现了。然而,缺乏能够以一种合格的方式捕捉这种发展结果的理论概念。从教师PD研究和教师知识与能力相关理论中获得灵感,本研究的目的是概述一个概念框架,该框架可作为评估学校改善措施和学校行为者学习情况的分析工具。概述了四种类型的学习资本,旨在反映教师和学校组织学习的核心方面,以及与教学实践及其发展相关的能力。这一概念框架的应用和例证是基于一个为期3年的研究项目的结果,该项目评估了瑞典一个自治市的学校改进方案。最后,就目前与学校改进工作评估相关的概念框架可能进行的不同类型的分析得出了一些结论。

Teachers’ responsibility and expectations: Dependent on the school organisation? 教师的责任和期望:取决于学校组织?

This article presents findings from a qualitative case study focusing on teachers’ communication concerning expectations and responsibilities in different schools. The study indicates the following: (1) the connection between structural expectations and responsibility is important, (2) different expectation structures provide different opportunities for collective responsibility, and (3) expectations from others and towards others in a learning community can limit or expand opportunities to learn from each other. These findings enable a discussion on how teachers’ responsibility depends on schools’ expectations and also raise questions about teachers’ expectations towards themselves and the quality of the schools’ expectations towards the teachers.
本文介绍了一个定性案例研究的结果,该研究侧重于不同学校教师在期望和责任方面的沟通。研究表明:(1)结构期望与责任之间的联系很重要,(2)不同的期望结构为集体责任提供了不同的机会,(3)学习社区中来自他人和对他人的期望可以限制或扩大相互学习的机会。这些发现有助于讨论教师的责任如何取决于学校的期望,也提出了关于教师对自己的期望以及学校对教师期望的质量的问题。
