Promoting Reflective Practices In Special Education Through Action Research: Recommendations From Preservice Teachers, Paula Wenner Conroy
Promoting Reflective Practices In Special Education Through Action Research: Recommendations From Preservice Teachers, Paula Wenner Conroy
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
In response to research showing the benefits of reflective practices, many personnel preparation programs have sought ways to help teachers-intraining (pre-service teachers) develop reflective practices in their teaching. This has been done by providing multiple opportunities for reflection and scaffolding within a variety of reflective experiences during extensive field and student teaching practicum experiences (Harford & MacRuairc, 2008). One powerful approach for integrating inquiry into teaching and reflection in practice is action research. The purpose of this article article is to provide a description of an effort by faculty to increase teacher reflection in the preparation program area of special …
How Does Talk Around Reading Influence Comprehension In Third Grade?, Karen Gruhn Tomczak
How Does Talk Around Reading Influence Comprehension In Third Grade?, Karen Gruhn Tomczak
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
This study attempts to document the efficacy of peer-support and self-monitoring during partnered reading by third grade students as evidenced by their discourse. Pairs of third grade students engaged in partnered reading in a general education third grade classroom. Their oral reading, coaching and conversations were recorded using i-Pod2s over the course of twenty days. The digital audio recordings were then analyzed to determine if the students employed reading strategies, what types of reading strategies they used, and how other discourse between the students influenced reading behaviors.
Roles Beyond Instruction: Facilitating The Development Of Preservice Teachers, Yvonne Franco
Roles Beyond Instruction: Facilitating The Development Of Preservice Teachers, Yvonne Franco
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
Identifying a Signature Pedagogy that ensures high-quality teacher preparation is essential to the field of teacher education, as inconsistencies across programs throughout our country threaten our profession. Drawing on a comprehensive study of the professions, Lee Shulman (2005) provides a lens from which to identify Signature Pedagogy and the underlying experiences that support it, as pedagogies of uncertainty, engagement, and formation. As a teacher-educator, this action research study examines my efforts in understanding how I can use my knowledge of Signature Pedagogy to design, implement and study practices that facilitate pre-service teachers’ conceptualization of the teacher’s role beyond instruction. Using …

Critical Dialogues About The Reading Process With In-Service Teachers And Children, Koomi Kim, Maria Perpetua Liwanag, Violet Henderson, Peter Duckett
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
This article investigates how teacher educators and teachers collaborate via dialogic interactions to support the development of elementary students’ reading strategies. By implementing comprehension-centered reading tools such as the Burke reading interview and strategy rulers in partnership with in-service teachers, we are able to sustain ongoing inquiry and evaluation of effective literacy practices that enhance student learning.
Action Research And Project Approach: Journey Of An Early Childhood Pre-Service Teacher And A Teacher Educator, Ellie Wastin, H. Sophia Han
Action Research And Project Approach: Journey Of An Early Childhood Pre-Service Teacher And A Teacher Educator, Ellie Wastin, H. Sophia Han
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
The purpose of this article is to share an action research study conducted by an early childhood pre-service teacher in a Kindergarten classroom. There were dual goals for this action research: (a) to enhance preservice teacher’s questioning and classroom management strategies, and (b) to enhance Kindergarten children’s scientific inquiry and knowledge. A teacher guided mini-project approach was adopted as a main instructional methodology for a ‘Rain and Water Cycle’ project. Using video, we documented self-reflection and feedback. Through this experience, the pre-service teacher gained both knowledge and confidence. At the same time, the Kindergarten children took an active role in …

Action Research As First Year Faculty: Exploring The Path Less Taken, Emily A. Daniels, Maureen Squires
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
The integration of educational research and practice is essential if any genuine progress is to be achieved in addressing compelling, complex and significant issues in education (Pine, 2009, p. 3). As new faculty members, both authors came to the process of action research through collaboration. The path was a new one that we had previously not explored, one that emerged as we moved forward together. We started down this woody lane with ideas, hopes and flashlights to begin to clarify our work, our ideas, and the needs of our students. We also hoped to illuminate the way for other junior …
Updating Critical Discourse Analysis In Education, Erica Newhouse
Updating Critical Discourse Analysis In Education, Erica Newhouse
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
The publication of the second edition of Rogers’ An Introduction to Critical Discourse Analysis in Education is timely and relevant to the current social, political, and educational climate. Rogers’ text provides an in-depth introduction to critical discourse analysis (CDA) in education, an understanding of how the education “crisis” has been constructed, and the possibilities for researchers to use this approach to interrupt these “naturalizations.” This edition reflects changes in the field with the addition of Gunther Kress’ multimodal social semiotic approach to discourse analysis, which opens new areas of investigation and critique.
Shifting The Intellectual Authority In Science Classrooms From Teachers To Students: How Novice Teachers Use Tools To Analyze And Advance Practice, Jessica Thompson, Anna Kramer, Lindsay Carlson, Lindsay Holladay, Bethany Sjoberg
Shifting The Intellectual Authority In Science Classrooms From Teachers To Students: How Novice Teachers Use Tools To Analyze And Advance Practice, Jessica Thompson, Anna Kramer, Lindsay Carlson, Lindsay Holladay, Bethany Sjoberg
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
To meet the immense challenges our society faces in areas such as energy, health, and environmental protection, we, as science teachers and teacher educators, need to invest in the creation of classroom cultures that turn the intellectual heavy lifting over to the students while developing students’ identities as competent learners. Our vision is that classrooms are both intellectually rigorous—accountable to important ideas and practices in the discipline—and uncompromisingly responsive to students’ developing scientific ideas. Problematically, this type of teaching is currently rare in science classrooms (Corcoran & Gerry, 2011; Kane & Staiger, 2012; Pasley, 2002; Roth & Garnier, 2007; Weiss, …

Framing Visual Perception In Terms Of Sensorimotor Mapping, Silvano Zipoli Caiani
Framing Visual Perception In Terms Of Sensorimotor Mapping, Silvano Zipoli Caiani
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
Two contrasting theories, or variants of them, are predominant in the current debate on visual cognition. The standard inferential theory sees perception as a process involving the role of memory, past experiences and semantic abilities, whereas the direct theory sees perception as a connection between the perceiver and the environment that does not recruit internal information processing. In particular, the direct theory has recently been invoked because it would be able to explain the sensorimotor coupling of perception and action in humans and animals without relying on controversial notions such as those of conceptualization and propositional information. This paper aims …
Talking About Causing Events, Christopher A. Vogel, Alexis Wellwood, Rachel Dudley, J. Brendan Ritchie
Talking About Causing Events, Christopher A. Vogel, Alexis Wellwood, Rachel Dudley, J. Brendan Ritchie
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
Questions about the nature of the relationship between language and extralinguistic cognition are old, but only recently has a new view emerged that allows for the systematic investigation of claims about linguistic structure, based on how it is understood or utilized outside of the language system. Our paper represents a case study for this interaction in the domain of event semantics. We adopt a transparency thesis about the relationship between linguistic structure and extralinguistic cognition, investigating whether different lexico-syntactic structures can differentially recruit the visual causal percept. A prominent analysis of causative verbs like move suggests reference to two distinct …
How Do Ideas Become General In Their Signification?, Alexandros Tillas
How Do Ideas Become General In Their Signification?, Alexandros Tillas
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
Abstraction is one of the central notions in philosophy and cognitive science. Though its origins are often traced to Locke, various senses of abstraction have been developed in fields as diverse as philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and computer science (e.g. Barsalou 2005). The notion of abstraction on which I am focusing here is as that of a process of similarities recognition across instances of a given kind involving progressive exclusion of instance details. As such, abstraction plays a major role in concept-formation and learning. Traditionally, abstraction models have been deemed circular (e.g. Berkeley 1710/1957), while in recent years …
Nonconceptual Content, Causal Theory, And Realism, Błażej Skrzypulec
Nonconceptual Content, Causal Theory, And Realism, Błażej Skrzypulec
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
In this paper the connections between the nonconceptual content of perceptual states and realism are considered. In particular, I investigate the argument for realism that uses the notion of nonconceptual content, specifically the version proposed by Raftopoulos in Cognition and Perception. To evaluate the argument two forms of realism are identified: (1) correlation realism (CR), according to which distinctions in perceptual content correlate with distinctions in the environment, and (2) ontological realism (OR), according to which perceptual content and perceived reality are both organized according to the same set of ontological categories. First, it is argued that the distinction …
Concept Acquisition And Experiential Change, William S. Robinson
Concept Acquisition And Experiential Change, William S. Robinson
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
Many have held the Acquisition of Concepts Thesis (ACT) that concept acquisition can change perceptual experience. This paper explains the close relation of ACT to ADT, the thesis that acquisition of dispositions to quickly and reliably recognize a kind of thing can change perceptual experience. It then states a highly developed argument given by Siegel (2010) which, if successful, would offer strong support for ADT and indirect support for ACT. Examination of this argument, however, reveals difficulties that undermine its promise. Distinctions made in this examination help to clarify an alternative view that denies ADT and ACT while accepting that …
An Empirical Analysis Of Perceptual Judgments, Nicholas Ray
An Empirical Analysis Of Perceptual Judgments, Nicholas Ray
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
This paper is a defense of Reformed Empiricism, especially against those critics who take Reformed Empiricism to be a viable account of empirical rationality only if it avails itself of certain rationalist assumptions that are inconsistent with empiricism. I argue against three broad types of criticism that are found in the current literature, and propose a way of characterising Gupta’s constraints for any model of experience as analytic of empiricism itself, avoiding the charge by some (e.g. McDowell, Berker, and Schafer) who think that the constraints are substantive.
The Role Of Motor Affordances In Visual Working Memory, Diane Pecher
The Role Of Motor Affordances In Visual Working Memory, Diane Pecher
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
Motor affordances are important for object knowledge. Semantic tasks on visual objects often show interactions with motor actions. Prior neuro-imaging studies suggested that motor affordances also play a role in visual working memory for objects. When participants remembered manipulable objects (e.g., hammer) greater premotor cortex activation was observed than when they remembered non-manipulable objects (e.g., polar bear). In the present study participants held object pictures in working memory while performing concurrent tasks such as articulation of nonsense syllables and performing hand movements. Although concurrent tasks did interfere with working memory performance, in none of the experiments did we find any …
Whorfian Effects In Color Perception: Deep Or Shallow?, Elisabetta Lalumera
Whorfian Effects In Color Perception: Deep Or Shallow?, Elisabetta Lalumera
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
This paper discusses, from the point of view of the philosophy of psychology, recent behavioral and brain studies showing effects of the diversity of language vocabulary on color perception. I examine the alternative between two different interpretations of these so-called whorfian effects, namely habitual or deep whorfianism, and shallow whorfianism. I argue that at the moment the evidence underdetermines both interpretations and the question is open. I also clarify that shallow whorfianism is not a synonym for ‘trivial whorfianism’, as some authors have suggested, but rather makes a case for the online and situated nature of human cognition.
Problems For The Purported Cognitive Penetration Of Perceptual Color Experience And Macpherson’S Proposed Mechanism, Steven Gross, Thitaporn Chaisilprungraung, Elizabeth Kaplan, Jorge Aurelio Menendez, Jonathan Flombaum
Problems For The Purported Cognitive Penetration Of Perceptual Color Experience And Macpherson’S Proposed Mechanism, Steven Gross, Thitaporn Chaisilprungraung, Elizabeth Kaplan, Jorge Aurelio Menendez, Jonathan Flombaum
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
Fiona Macpherson (2012) argues that various experimental results provide strong evidence in favor of the cognitive penetration of perceptual color experience. Moreover, she proposes a mechanism for how such cognitive penetration occurs. We argue, first, that the results on which Macpherson relies do not provide strong grounds for her claim of cognitive penetrability; and, second, that, if the results do reflect cognitive penetrability, then time-course considerations raise worries for her proposed mechanism. We base our arguments in part on several of our own experiments, reported herein.
Concepts, Perception And The Dual Process Theories Of Mind, Marcello Frixione, Antonio Lieto
Concepts, Perception And The Dual Process Theories Of Mind, Marcello Frixione, Antonio Lieto
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
In this article we argue that the problem of the relationships between concepts and perception in cognitive science is blurred by the fact that the very notion of concept is rather confused. Since it is not always clear exactly what concepts are, it is not easy to say, for example, whether and in what measure concept possession involves entertaining and manipulating perceptual representations, whether concepts are entirely different from perceptual representations, and so on. As a paradigmatic example of this state of affairs, we will start by taking into consideration the distinction between conceptual and nonconceptual content. The analysis of …
Linguistic Intuitions And Cognitive Penetrability, Michael Devitt
Linguistic Intuitions And Cognitive Penetrability, Michael Devitt
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
Metalinguistic intuitions play a very large evidential role in both linguistics and philosophy. Linguists think that these intuitions are products of underlying linguistic competence. I call this view “the voice of competence” (“VoC”). Although many philosophers seem to think that metalinguistic intuitions are a priori many may implicitly hold the more scientifically respectable VoC. According to VoC, I argue, these intuitions can be cognitively penetrated by the central processor. But, I have argued elsewhere, VoC is false. Instead, we should hold “the modest explanation” (“ME”) according to which these intuitions are fairly unreflective empirical theory-laden central-processor responses to phenomena. On …
Is Low-Level Visual Experience Cognitively Penetrable?, Dávid Bitter
Is Low-Level Visual Experience Cognitively Penetrable?, Dávid Bitter
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
Philosophers and psychologists alike have argued recently that relatively abstract beliefs or cognitive categories like those regarding race can influence the perceptual experience of relatively low-level visual features like color or lightness. Some of the proposed best empirical evidence for this claim comes from a series of experiments in which White faces were consistently judged as lighter than equiluminant Black faces, even for racially ambiguous faces that were labeled ‘White’ as opposed to ‘Black’ (Levin and Banaji 2006). The latter result is considered especially indicative of cognitive penetration, based on the reasoning that the relevant distortions were a function of …
Grounding Naïve Physics And Optics In Perception, Ivana Bianchi, Ugo Savardi
Grounding Naïve Physics And Optics In Perception, Ivana Bianchi, Ugo Savardi
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
Many adults hold mistaken beliefs concerning the behavior of mechanical motion and reflections. In the field of psychology this has been investigated in the areas of naïve physics and naïve optics. The interesting question regards where these false beliefs come from. Particularly thought-provoking is the case of errors which are at odds not only with (presumably or even actually) known physical/optical concepts, but also with what people would actually perceive. Some errors are in fact consistent with what people see in ecological conditions while others apparently are not. This has led to the former being referred to as perceptual errors …

Editors' Introduction, Edouard Machery, Jesse Prinz
Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication
The relation between concepts and perception has been a central issue in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science for a few decades, and it has recently been rejuvenated by research on concept empiricism and on cognitive penetration. Research on the relation between concepts and perception in philosophy and in the cognitive sciences focuses on several distinct issues.
The New Extensionist: Roles And Cap Acities To Strengthen Extension And Advisory Services, Kristen Davis, Rasheed Sulaiman V.
The New Extensionist: Roles And Cap Acities To Strengthen Extension And Advisory Services, Kristen Davis, Rasheed Sulaiman V.
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
Extension and advisory services (EAS) perform an important role in agricultural development and help reduce hunger and poverty. Development efforts are increasingly complicated because of challenges such as natural resource depletion and climate change. Agricultural development frameworks have moved from a linear to a more complex systems perspective. Many scholars today use the agricultural innovation systems (AIS) framework as a conceptual model. This framework has three basic elements: all of the actors in the system that brings about agricultural innovation, their interactions, and the institutions and policies governing their interactions. Taking this approach while dealing with the challenges of development …

Envisioning The Future Of Extension And Advisory Services In The Caribbean, Wayne G. Ganpat, Nichole Webster, Lendel K. Narine
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
Recent efforts have begun to renew collaborative relationships between actors leading extension systems throughout the Caribbean Community. Successful collaborations are built upon a shared vision. This study was conducted to determine the degree to which a shared future vision for extension and advisory services (EAS) existed within CARICOM countries. A qualitative approach was used to investigate the perceptions of EAS directors from nine CARICOM countries. Similar concerns about the future relevance of EAS were expressed. More diversity existed when considering primary stakeholders and delivery methods. The formal adoption of a shared vision for the region and creation of supportive policies …

Agricultural Innovation Systems: An Investment Sourcebook, M'Randa R. Sandlin, J Thomas Wynn
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
The World Bank assembled this reference guide to explain the contributing aspects and limitations of the Agricultural Innovation System (AIS). The guide is divided into seven modules to better address topics through detailed overviews, recommended approaches and programs, and successful activities for each. The first module stresses the importance of a collaborative effort in a successful AIS structure, specifically, national coordination and governance, building innovation networks, increasing access to marketing chains, and building innovation capabilities in farmer organizations. Module 2 delves into the role of agricultural education and training as “a creator of capacity and supplier of the human resources …

Listening To Collaborate: Professional Development For Postsecondary Agricultural Education And Training Instructors Teaching Technical Subjects In Nigeria, Matt Spindler, Benjamin Ogwo
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
Implementing high quality professional development for postsecondary Agricultural Education and Training (AET)instructors is a critical step in facilitating inclusive economic development in Nigeria. Most technical agricultural graduate programs in Nigeria do not include training in instructional methods, creating lesson plans, or assessment techniques and lecturers are usually forced into learning the craft of teaching through trial and error. Unfortunately, poor teaching and a lack of innovative strategies do little to break the status quo view that agriculture is a distasteful option for youths. It is likely that economic and social progress in Nigeria will be attenuated if AET systems cannot …
Farmers’ Satisfaction With Extension Services In The Organization Of Eastern Caribbean States, Wayne G. Ganpat, Nichole Webster, Lendel K. Narine
Farmers’ Satisfaction With Extension Services In The Organization Of Eastern Caribbean States, Wayne G. Ganpat, Nichole Webster, Lendel K. Narine
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
The economies of most countries in the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) are dependent on farming, most of which is done mainly by small farmers in mixed cropping systems. The government is also the main provider of extension services. This study sought to assess farmers’ satisfaction with the extensions services and identify areas for improvement. Some 462 farmers in five OECS countries were selected and surveyed in 2013. A farmers’ satisfaction index was developed based on 26 statements in a Likert-type scale and used as the dependent variable. Data were analyzed using STATA 9 and descriptive frequencies and multiple …
