Editorial: Silence Under Erasure—The Silence Of Silence, Jan Jagodzinski, Bill Wightman
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Author Guagtiumi's cover design speaks eloquently to the theme of this year's journal: silence. The fractal spaces of a complex topological landscape with various intensities of lines that compress and depress throughout are cut and interpenetrated by blank spaces whose sinuous curves stake out a depthless territory that we know nothing about. The "spine" of the cover becomes an artificial divide where the two sides butt together, as if some giant fault tine had been intentionally created. Occasionally a translucent film grows over the force and intensity of these tines, both masking and holding them together to neutralize their force. …
Black Hawk Down And The Silences Of Ridley’S Scott’S Realism, Robert Nellis
Black Hawk Down And The Silences Of Ridley’S Scott’S Realism, Robert Nellis
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
A telling moment occurs in the film Black Hawk Down (Bruckheimer & Scott, 2001) when the "reliable" Shawn Nelson is literally struck deaf by the gunfire of his partner. Nelson can no longer hear his fellow American soldiers, their gunfire, or the screams of his dying enemies. Prior to losing his hearing, Nelson puts in a mouth protector, explaining that on his last mission, he almost bit off his tongue. Thus, Nelson ensures that he will be able to speak of any evil he hears, but, alas, he becomes deal. Nelson's predicament somewhat parallels that of the audience of Ridley …
“Catching Sight Of The Permanent Possibility Of War:” Images Of Totality And Words Of Peace, Norm Friesen
“Catching Sight Of The Permanent Possibility Of War:” Images Of Totality And Words Of Peace, Norm Friesen
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
In Totality and Infinity (1969), a landmark critique of the Western philosophical tradition, Emmanuel Levinas poses the provocative question: "Does not lucidity, the mind's openness on the true, consist in catching sight of the permanent possibility of war" (21)? Levinas asks, in other words, whether knowledge of the truth as truth has been "seen” in the western philosophical tradition? is in some fundamental way related to the war.
Documentary Rhetoric, Fact Or Fiction? University Students React To The Film, Bowling For Columbine, Mary Stokrocki
Documentary Rhetoric, Fact Or Fiction? University Students React To The Film, Bowling For Columbine, Mary Stokrocki
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
In American schools, violence has evolved as one of our most riveting social problems. The FBI reported at least 28 cases of school shootings since 1982 (Diket & Mucha, 2002). Educators are concerned about the growing number of violent acts in schools across America and seek reasons and results. They insist that teachers pay attention to the pictures students create, discuss violence and related issues with them, and make time to talk about understanding a volatile world (Susi, 2001; Diket & Mucha, 2002). Freedman (1997) earlier advocated that teachers encourage students to examine the media. Ballengee-Morris and Stuhr (2001) advocate …
The Embodied Pedagogy Of War, Charles Garoian, Yvonne Gaudelius
The Embodied Pedagogy Of War, Charles Garoian, Yvonne Gaudelius
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
In March of 2003 we sat huddled over the computer trying to make sense of the paper that we were trying to write on the obsolete body of art education for presentation at the National Art Education Association (NAEA) conference in Minneapolis. When we began the paper the war on Iraq had not yet begun but it was daily becoming more of a real possibility. The buzz about the impending war became a louder and louder as we lived and worked, not in an mythical ivory tower isolated from the world but in the midst of 24-7 media coverage of …
Schooled In Silence, Patricia M. Amburgy, Wanda B. Knight, Karen Keifer-Boyd
Schooled In Silence, Patricia M. Amburgy, Wanda B. Knight, Karen Keifer-Boyd
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
What is not said, is often more powerful than what is spoken about diversity, difference, and identity in U.S. classrooms. Examples are everywhere: Although no students of color may be enrolled in a course at a prominent research university, members of the class do not believe there is such a thing as institutional racism. A handful of women are discussed in course textbooks, all authored by men, but no one thinks it odd that only men have written accounts of women's achievements that appear on the syllabus. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people do not speak for themselves, either, in …
African Art: What And To Whom? Anxieties, Certainties, Mythologies, David Gall
African Art: What And To Whom? Anxieties, Certainties, Mythologies, David Gall
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
It has taken nearly a whole century to publish two books on African art that recognize the continent as a complex cultural unit within which there is diversity, A History of Art in Africa (Blackmun Visona, M et al, 2001) and Africa, The Art of a Continent (Phillips, T. 1995). Why it taken so long far North and East Africa past and present to be included in texts labeled African art? Why were they not recognized as African? India, also a place of diversity of race and ethnicity, has not similarly treated. The assumptions underlying the norms a representation of …
Piercing Gaze: Public Art In Schools, Laura Felleman Fattal
Piercing Gaze: Public Art In Schools, Laura Felleman Fattal
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
A gaze is a silent facial gesture while a piercing gaze suggests a shrieking sound. Unpacking the word, silence, allows one to look at the difference between the verbalizations hailing empowerment and the actual functioning of reinstatements of purpose in learning, teaching and mentoring in a public school. Silence, in the following article, signals a discomfort, sometimes solitude and, at times, an abyss perhaps indicating the disparity between expectation and implementation. The depth of research necessary by the school community to reach consensus for names of dignitaries and the in-depth archival photographic research on the part of the professional artists …

Three Silences: Infection … Abjection … Art Education, Bob Sweeney
Three Silences: Infection … Abjection … Art Education, Bob Sweeney
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The students were waiting for the bus that would take them home after Drama Club, Intramurals, detention. Some students were sitting on the steps, as instructed by another teacher and myself who had either been assigned or volunteered for 'bus duty' that afternoon. The majority of the students were in various states of agitation, fueled by hormones that had just recently been switched into overdrive by developing pituitary glands. Buying sodas, 'athletic' drinks, and junk food from the vending machines, chasing each other around the bathrooms that separated the cafeteria from the exits, most of the students seemed like a …
Playing It Safe In The Artroom, Donalyn Heise
Playing It Safe In The Artroom, Donalyn Heise
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
As a university supervisor, I have the opportunity to observe preservice teachers as they fulfill their student teaching practicum. Part of my task is to assess their performance, including their competence in content; instructional strategies, classroom management and organization. Some of my student teachers deliver art programs that emphasize media, processes, elements and principles. Many also focus on historical and critical inquiry. Some student teachers have already developed effective classroom management and organizational strategies. But is this evidence of quality art education that will prepare students for life's challenges? Are we denying students the opportunity to experience the transformative properties …
Anding—The Dynamic In Education, Katie Roberts
Anding—The Dynamic In Education, Katie Roberts
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The world exists in a dynamic that can be described as a web. The moment that you are born, you become part of this web by your every move through space, every encounter with people, and every interaction with objects. Never ending but changing direction, never moving up or down but always laterally, the web progresses and grows continuously. This metaphor also describes the singular existence of all of us by outlining the experiences that help form us. From the common details to the formative moments in life, our lives are a series of cumulative experiences. These experiences connect and …

Meditating On The Voiceless Words Of The Invisible Other: Young Female Animé Fan Artists—Narratives Of Gender Images, Jin-Shiow Chen
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
My interest in youth anime/manga (Japanese animation and comics) culture in Taiwan began three years ago when my niece, Kitty, then 15 years old, showed me some photos of her cosplay performances and manga drawings (doujinshi) by her good friends. The beautiful pictures fascinated me but in all honesty, I was stunned that my own niece and her good friends were participating in 'those exotic activities'. As far as I knew, my niece and her friends were good students-smart, creative and diligent in pursuing fine art as their majors in high school. I was disturbed by this incongruity and could …
Imaged Voices—Envisioned Landscapes: Storylines Of Information-Age Girls And Young Women, Marjorie Manifold
Imaged Voices—Envisioned Landscapes: Storylines Of Information-Age Girls And Young Women, Marjorie Manifold
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
In Information Age societies around the world, adolescents are storylining-that is, creating and sharing their own stories and images of who they are and how they would like to be in the world. The youth meet in real or cyber spaces to plan, write, and illustrate stories that incorporate either originally conceived characters or adapt characters from published sources. Insofar as these young people intimately identify with the characters of their stories, story lining may be understood as a kind of socio-aesthetic play. By projecting pieces of themselves into the fictive characters of the collaborative story, they are practicing, correcting, …
Questioning Fantasies Of Popular ‘Resistance:’ Democratice Populism And Radical Politics In Visual Cultural Studies, Jan Jagodzinski
Questioning Fantasies Of Popular ‘Resistance:’ Democratice Populism And Radical Politics In Visual Cultural Studies, Jan Jagodzinski
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
This is the second part to a complementary essay that appeared in JSTAE (jagodzinski 2003). It was also written in 1998 and is being revisited some six years latter given that the cultural landscape in art education is slowly turning its sights towards visual cultural studies, a position JSTAE has been exploring for almost a quarter of a century if we take into account our earlier "Bulletin" publication, which began in 1980. The theme of silence arises, for me, a question of what is a radical politics at the tum of the century? It seems that the only game in …

Can Science Methods Really Be Taught On-Line?, W. M. Frazier
Can Science Methods Really Be Taught On-Line?, W. M. Frazier
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
In this paper, the process in which both project-based curriculum strategies and Blackboard web-based technology were utilized to develop on-line methods courses to prepare science teachers is described. A discussion of the curriculum design process includes a rationale for using project-based instruction in methods courses, along with a rationale for using Blackboard, a web-based technology, as the environment for the course. The course‘s potential for creating highly qualified science teachers as defined by the No Child Left Behind legislation of 2001 and the National Science Teacher Association‘s Standards for Science Teacher Preparation will be explored [1].
Analysis Of Socio-Economic Factors In Correlation To Standardized Educational Test Scores, M. F. Connolly
Analysis Of Socio-Economic Factors In Correlation To Standardized Educational Test Scores, M. F. Connolly
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
This paper describes the analysis of socio-eeonomic factors in correlation to standardized educational test scores. The scores used were from the Elementary School Proficiency Assessment exam distributed to fourth graders in New Jersey during the years 1999, 200l- 2003 [1-4]. The socio—economie factors are from the 2000 United States Census [5]. Simple regression and other statistical equations were used to compare the data from both sources with Microsoft Excel as a programming tool to perform the analysis.

Educational Leadership Publications
As the 50th anniversary of the landmark "Brown v. Board of Education" decision arrives, a notably gesellschaftliche (individualist, freedom-oriented, rationalist) paradigm in the education policy agenda prevails. That is to say, in the wake of a series of Supreme Court decisions and the proliferation of publicly funded, ethnocentric charter schools in the past few decades, this country has moved away from "Brown's" celebrated ideals and closer to the old idea of "separate but equal." Furthermore, the disconnect is occurring along racial and cultural lines. Thus, if we are to achieve the benefits of diversity in schooling and create a more …

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
Unless introductory undergraduate science classes for prospective elementary teachers actively incorporate the philosophy of inquiry-based learning called for in K-l2 science education refom little will change in elementary science education. Thus, at James Madison University, we have developed a new integrated science core curriculum called Understanding our World [1]. This course sequence was not only designed to fulfill general education science requirements. but also to focus on content areas our students will need to know as teachers. The objectives of these courses are based on the National Science Education Standards and Virginia’s Science Standards of Learning, including earth and space …

A Case For Proof Making For Prospective Middle School Teachers, J. W. Whitenack, L. A. Lovin, L. Cavey
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
In this article, we discuss how we, as mathematics teacher educators, might help our prospective middle school teachers develop a disposition toward mathematics that involves making sound arguments and, more generally, making proofs about mathematical ideas. First, we illustrate what we mean by making sound mathematical proofs. We then use this definition to characterize what ninety-two prospective middle school teachers consider to be proof making, based on a survey that we administered in their first mathematics course. Following our findings, we discuss how we, as teacher educators, might realign our instruction to provide opportunities for prospective teachers to develop new …

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
A School University Research Network (SURN) committee composed of current mathematics teachers, central office math supervisors, building administrators, mathematicians, and mathematics educators researched numerous sources regarding best practices in mathematics instruction. The resulting professional development rubric synthesizes their findings and can serve a professional development role by providing teachers and administrators with a tool to develop clarity and consensus on best mathematics instructional practices, and how these practices are implemented in the classroom. It is also being used as a tool for cooperating teachers in their supervision of student teachers and as a reflective method for self-evaluation.
