Equitable, Not Equal: Perspectives Of Community-University Partnerships Through The Voices Of Community Stakeholders, Lorilee R. Sandmann Ph.D.
Equitable, Not Equal: Perspectives Of Community-University Partnerships Through The Voices Of Community Stakeholders, Lorilee R. Sandmann Ph.D.
Adult Education Research Conference
Adult and community development practitioners and scholars are frequently involved in community-university partnerships. A core premise of these partnerships is that university engagement in communities is best done via collaborative, mutually respectful, mutually beneficial partnerships (HUD, 2002). Effective partnerships take time and effort and they require mobilizing resources from diverse parties with overlapping and sometimes conflicting interests. Sustaining them requires that the parties strike a balance between the interest of communities and of higher education institutions.

The Role Of Cognitive Engagement In Adult Literacy Learning, Thomas Valentine, Judy Milton, Anastasiya A. Lipnevich, Harold Beder
Adult Education Research Conference
Research in adult literacy has often focused on what occurs outside of the classroom. Excellent research has been done exploring the lives of learners, their motivations to attend, and how they apply new learning. However, studies focusing on the actual process of learning in the classroom have been considered the domain of content specialists in reading and math, who pay little attention to the social context of the classroom or to the social-psychological realities of learning for marginalized adults.
Racializing The Discourse Of Adult Education, Elizabeth A. Peterson, Stephen D. Brookfield, Vanessa Sheared, Juanita Johnson-Bailey, Scipio A.J. Colin
Racializing The Discourse Of Adult Education, Elizabeth A. Peterson, Stephen D. Brookfield, Vanessa Sheared, Juanita Johnson-Bailey, Scipio A.J. Colin
Adult Education Research Conference
This symposium began in 2002 as a dialogue between Stephen Brookfield, Scipio Colin III and me. The circumstances that brought about the dialogue are indicative of the need for a symposium on race talk among educators and even more specifically among adult educators. At the time, Stephen was at Harvard and because of his work there he was asked to contribute an article to the Harvard Educational Review about racializing the discourse of adult education. As a White male Stephen felt strongly that minority voices should included and proposed inviting several African American academics as well—the topic was important enough …

Connections Between Organizational Culture And Knowledge Management, Elisabeth E. Bennett
Connections Between Organizational Culture And Knowledge Management, Elisabeth E. Bennett
Adult Education Research Conference
In the present knowledge economy, Adult Education (AE) plays an important role in creating, distributing, and applying knowledge through research and practice. AE programs are considered to be political and ethical activities (Cervero & Wilson, 1995; Wlodkowski & Ginsberg, 1995) that often occur in organizational contexts, including academic, for-profit, and non-profit groups. Organizations tend to have a predominant outlook on knowledge that is part of organizational culture (OC) (Wikstrom & Normann, 1994). A new line of inquiry, Knowledge Management (KM), focuses on how knowledge is acquired, created, and distributed (Alvesson & Karreman, 2001; Lengnick-Hall & Lengnick-Hall, 2003) within organizations.

Scaffolding A Student's Development Of Storytelling With Wordless Picture Books, Penny L. Beed, Ashley Shipp
Scaffolding A Student's Development Of Storytelling With Wordless Picture Books, Penny L. Beed, Ashley Shipp
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
According to Kathryne Macgrath Speaker (2002), "Children involved in storytelling programs exhibit improved listening skills, better sequencing abilities, increased language appreciation and more thoughtful organization in their own writing." (p.184) As Speaker indicates, storytelling can be a very important tool for learning in the classroom. Storytelling is not only important in the classroom; it is also important to society. We all know that storytelling has been instrumental in the preservation of history for centuries. It is a means of sustaining cultural activities and beliefs. According to Seth Weaver Kahan, "Storytelling is one of the oldest and most powerful devices for …
The Effectiveness Of Student-Chosen Pairs For Cooperative Learning, Robin Morelock
The Effectiveness Of Student-Chosen Pairs For Cooperative Learning, Robin Morelock
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
Cooperative learning is a well-established technique for improving student learning. A large number of studies have shown that cooperative learning improves learning, understanding and remembering. It also helps students feel better about themselves, the class and their classmates. (Johnson, Johnson and Holubec 1993; Slavin 1991). My own experience as a Junior High science teacher leads me to agree with studies indicating the value of cooperative learning. This study, however, deals not with the value of cooperative learning, but with establishing the best grouping for cooperative learning. Research on grouping has not shown clear-cut results. Heterogeneous and homogeneous groups both seem …
Imagination And Literacy: A Teacher's Search For The Heart Of Learning, Gordon Wells
Imagination And Literacy: A Teacher's Search For The Heart Of Learning, Gordon Wells
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
Ever since her first book, The Languages of Learning: How children talk, write, dance, draw, and sing their understanding of the world (1994), Karen Gallas has delighted and informed her readers about what primary schoolchildren can achieve when their teacher is genuinely interested in their contributions to classroom activities and, as a teacher researcher, collects and reflects on the data that they so willingly provide. This book continues that tradition, but with a significant addition. In Imagination and Literacy, Gallas continues to draw on her corpus of classroom observational data, but with a difference. Here, her focus is on the …
Forensic Science In The Elementary Classroom, Todd Campbell, Brianna Worst
Forensic Science In The Elementary Classroom, Todd Campbell, Brianna Worst
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
This article stems from a pre-service teacher's attempt to translate "inquiry as a theory" into "inquiry as a practice" in a science classroom. It is intended to provide a snapshot of grappling with inquiry instruction, from both a pre-service teacher and a science teacher educator's perspective, while also offering approaches for allowing students to engage in scientific inquiry by posing questions and working toward solutions. Lastly, this article offers what the teacher researcher and the teacher educator learned in the pre-service preparation program.

Bully Prevention, Kevin John Bailey, Hector Rios
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
The purpose of this paper is to share with those interested parties the results of my action research study, which is how best to prevent bullying and promote prosocial interaction among a group of eighth grade students attending an elementary school located on the northeast coast of the United States. The study sprang from the need to increase the children's prosocial behaviors and state and federal mandates that require schools to address the problem of bullying in schools.
Using Reading Response Journals For Reading Comprehension, Lauree M. Buus
Using Reading Response Journals For Reading Comprehension, Lauree M. Buus
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
This action research study is aimed at addressing the memory issues that are seen daily in the classroom. Students in a literature-based reading program used reading response journals to assist in their reading comprehension. Anecdotal observations, journal writing, conferencing, interest surveys, and knowledge-based comprehension tests were used to determine the effectiveness of this approach. Memory has three components: sensory memory storage, short-term memory storage, and long-term memory storage. It is desirable for students to get major concepts into long-term memory and back out when needed. This process includes the steps of encoding, storage, retrieval, and reporting. Many factors can influence …

Math By Design, Dave Burghardt, Christine Krowles
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
Imagine a mathematics classroom where students eagerly arrive and do not want to leave, where students help one another, where deep understanding of mathematical concepts occurs, verified by multiple assessments, and where multiple modes of learning are designed into learning experiences. We were able to turn this imagined classroom into reality. How did we do it? Christine Krowles is a fifth grade mathematics teacher and Dave Burghardt a university professor. They co-designed the unit, Christine implemented the unit, Dave periodically visited the class, and they collaborated on the written analysis.
Editorial Introduction, Gordon Wells
Editorial Introduction, Gordon Wells
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
As the result of a number of problems, this issue has been a long time in coming. But, as usual, it contains a collection of stimulating articles that each, in its way, reports an attempt to bring about improvement in the quality of learning in a particular setting. Providing a common thread across these articles is the issue of motivation, which is both a prerequisite for, and an outcome of, the kinds of learning that aim for understanding and are the basis for effective and responsible action.
