What Happened To The Women? An Analysis And Discussion Of Early Women Adult Educators, Susan Imel, Gretchen T. Cersch Professor Emerita
What Happened To The Women? An Analysis And Discussion Of Early Women Adult Educators, Susan Imel, Gretchen T. Cersch Professor Emerita
Adult Education Research Conference
This analysis of early women contributors in adult education focuses on the period between the founding of the American Association for Adult Education (AAAE) in 1926 and 1950, when AAAE was replaced by the Adult Education Association of the USA. Initial work presented here reports on the period 1926 to 1941.
Case Writing: Learning Through Constructive Reflection, Rosemary B. Closson, Carmeda Stokes
Case Writing: Learning Through Constructive Reflection, Rosemary B. Closson, Carmeda Stokes
Adult Education Research Conference
Abstract: Case-based and problem-based learning are seldom discussed in regard to their use in adult education practitioner preparation. Here researchers discuss a process called “case construction” as a means for master’s students to learn effective management principles.
The Role Of Media And Popular Culture In The Mis/Education Of Adults, Elizabeth J. Tisdell, Patricia M. Thompson, Talmadge C. Guy, Jennifer Sandlin, Robin Redmon Wright

Adult Education Research Conference
The purpose of this symposium is to explore multiple perspectives on the role of media in the education and mis-education of adults, and to consider how educators might draw on media in developing a critical public pedagogy.
Elementary Professional Development Within A ‘Practical’ Action Research Effort To Improve Student Literacy, T. G. Ryan, A.M. Aquino, D. Berry, K. Clausen, R.L. Wideman
Elementary Professional Development Within A ‘Practical’ Action Research Effort To Improve Student Literacy, T. G. Ryan, A.M. Aquino, D. Berry, K. Clausen, R.L. Wideman
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
The purpose of this inquiry was to support and augment the action research efforts of elementary teachers who were attempting to enhance literacy outcomes in their respective classrooms. Included are elementary teacher insights, university-based facilitator views, and principal perspectives that together complete a picture of our professional development efforts. Together the data provide an overview of an action research effort, wherein praxis was noted as a necessary element to assume ‘practical’ investigative roles. Praxis herein is the deliberate, informed, planned, and systematic action which is the critical underpinning of all action research efforts. The action in this case was directed …

Charaniya, Susan Malekpour, Diana Churchill, Jo D. Kostka
Adult Education Research Conference
This symposium explores the governance component offered within a doctoral program in which students were given the opportunity to engage in collective decision-making through democratic process. Panelists, most of whom were research participants for the dissertation upon which this exploration is based, represent cohort groups from 1996 through 2007.

A few weeks ago, I had an opportunity to meet with teacher researchers from across the country at a day-long preconference sponsored by the International Reading Association’s Teaching as a Researching Profession Special Interest Group and Teacher as Researcher Subcommittee. This is not the first time I have had the opportunity to connect with teacher researchers. In fact, I have been active with teacher research for over twenty years. Back in 1987 the idea of teacher research was radical. Imagine teachers researching their own practices and using their insights to talk back to policies and mandates that limit learning for …

The Conservative And Dynamic Nature Of Indigenous Knowledge: A Case Study From Kenya, Randall D. Beckloff
Adult Education Research Conference
Abstract: Indigenous knowledge in Africa conserves traditional community heritage and is dynamically adjusted as communities adapt to contemporary realities. This roundtable considers these conservative and dynamic natures as portrayed in a case study from Kenya and poses discussion questions.

Teacher educators share much in common with their pre-service candidates, but neither group resembles the increasingly diverse PreK-12 student population in cities across the United States. In the words of Gary Howard (1999): How can you teach what you don’t know? A group of faculty members at a small, suburban liberal arts college decided to address this dilemma head-on by creating an urban teaching group. In addition to reading about and discussing important issues related to urban education and culturally responsive pedagogy, we participated in community mapping with early childhood candidates and were assigned to inner-city elementary classrooms. Across a …
J-Lo’S Story: Can The Diva And The Genius Co-Exist?, Melissa Arlen Blank
J-Lo’S Story: Can The Diva And The Genius Co-Exist?, Melissa Arlen Blank
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
It was an average March day in Arizona. J-Lo sat in Algebra class, wearing her favorite Baby Girl t-shirt and a pair of jeans. She and her friend Clara were tipsy from sipping on a Gatorade bottle filled with a clever mix of Lemon-Lime tastiness and vodka. But J-Lo’s behavior wasn’t so clever. She decided to interject her daily commentary on the day’s lesson. “Mr. A, this class is so boring!” He noticed that she slurred her speech and seemed more disconnected than usual. One whiff of her potent concoction, and the teacher knew right away why J-Lo seemed to …
The Problem Of Models And Modeling: One Teacher's Solution, Aviva B. Dorfman
The Problem Of Models And Modeling: One Teacher's Solution, Aviva B. Dorfman
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
Teaching and learning as complex, interactive, co-constructed processes (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000) make being a teacher a complicated task. Teachers’ problems are often ill-structured, options for possible solutions are many, and the criteria for consideration of different solutions do not necessarily indicate a right or wrong answer. According to Richardson (2003), because constructivism is a theory of learning and not a theory of teaching, the literature on constructivist pedagogy is sparse about what constitutes effective constructivist teaching. The story of how I solved my own long-standing teaching dilemma about modeling contributes to the articulation of elements of effective constructivist …
Funding Michigan K-12 Adequacy Without Rewarding Inefficiency, James J. Walters
Funding Michigan K-12 Adequacy Without Rewarding Inefficiency, James J. Walters
Educational Considerations
Taxpayers and politicians expect public schools to exercise stewardship and wisdom regarding the use of resources entrusted to them. These public expectations approximate what economists refer to as technical efficiency.
Unacceptable But Tolerated Behavior, Anne L. Jefferson
Unacceptable But Tolerated Behavior, Anne L. Jefferson
Educational Considerations
The literature discusses bullying in terms of the misuse of a power situation over another individual repeatedly. Single, isolated incidences do not qualify as an act of bullying. Rather, bullying is the repetition of these acts combined with the desire on the part of the individual with the greater power base to cause physical, emotional, or social distress in another individual.

Optimizing Educational Resources: A Paradigm For The Pursuit Of Educational Productivity, James L. Phelps
Educational Considerations
The advantage and perhaps the major motivation for using “seat-of-the-pants” decision making is that it obscures the assumptions made in arriving at a decision. If no one knows the assumptions upon which you based your decisions, then even though they may be uneasy with the decision they will have a difficult time criticizing your assumptions or decisions.

Teacher Compensation And School Quality: New Findings From National And International Data., Zhijuan Zhang, Deborah A. Verstegen, Hoe Ryoung Kim
Educational Considerations
High quality education is critical to both the individual and the nation. At the country level, as Ireland’s minister for education and science, put it, “The never ending search for competitive advantage in the global knowledge economy has led all public policymakers to focus on education as a key factor in strengthening competitiveness, employment and social cohesion.”

Explaining The Relationship Between Resources And Student Achievement: A Methodological Comparison Of Production Functions And Canonical Analysis, Robert C. Knoeppel, James S. Rinehart
Educational Considerations
What is the relationship between inputs to education and student achievement? The elusive answer to this seemingly self-evident question has led some to characterize the question as the “holy grail” of school finance research for the past thirty years.
