An Analysis Framework For Reflective Writing, Glenda C. Evans, Carmel Maloney
An Analysis Framework For Reflective Writing, Glenda C. Evans, Carmel Maloney
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
One challenge in teacher education is to provide strategies and processes which equip student teachers to examine, critique and evaluate their own understanding and beliefs about teaching. A strategy that has received considerable attention in the literature is journal writing. This paper reports the development of an analysis framework to interpret student teachers' journal writing. Data were drawn from interactive journals written by three students participating In an alternative teacher education programme. Analysis of the journals revealed that students used their journals to revisit their experiences and to reflect on their actions. The analysis enabled us to identify differences in …

Welcome to Networks. This is a significant moment for teacher research: the first issue of an online journal in which teacher researchers can share their work with fellow educators and take part in the dialogue to improve and better understand ways of supporting and extending learning, from pre-school to university.
Understanding Prolepsis Through Teacher Research, Phillip White
Understanding Prolepsis Through Teacher Research, Phillip White
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
Most often teacher research is written in a linear narrative form, bringing the reader along the story line of discovery much as the researcher herself made her discoveries. I have chosen a different approach, one I'll label as recursive narrative. This narrative form follows my own thinking processes, reflexive, discursive, moving recursively from present to future to past and back again, attempting to create a circular whole that is evident at the end. This recursive narrative form is reflective of the shape of prolepsis itself, analyzing an activity while taking into account its historical form, its present form, and considering …

Finding The Hidden Driveways: Observing Students At Work, Simon Hole

My brother and I spent part of my 17th summer counting dogs for the township we lived in. At 15 cents per pooch, taking dog census was hardly going to make us rich, but it kept us busy and we could set our own schedule, which is why it was mid-August before we started driving down the last country road of the township.

As a teacher who has experimented with classroom research, I know that "doing research" can seem overwhelming. If you're like me, you took a research methodology course back in college which focused on deciphering quantitative studies and learning seemingly endless lists of terms like validity, sample, and verification. Now you may be involved in a teacher research group affiliated with a local college that meets monthly to discuss how people's research projects are progressing. However, that doesn't seem to be adequate to equip you for the research task. A book that I find particularly helpful is Qualitative Inquiry and Research …
Co-Researching With Students: Exploring The Value Of Class Discussions, Karen Hume
Co-Researching With Students: Exploring The Value Of Class Discussions, Karen Hume
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
Knowledge building is a term that's meant to suggest a particular stance in my classroom - a focus by all participants on knowledge as an object that is both constructed and continually improved through the multiple perspectives and competing viewpoints that we bring to a question. As various perspectives are raised, students marshal evidence to support their views and to contribute to the building of our collective understanding. Knowledge building, therefore, like almost all classroom activity, relies on oral and written discourse.
Giving Children Control: Fourth Graders Initiate And Sustain Discussions After Teacher Read-Alouds, Zoe Donoahue
Giving Children Control: Fourth Graders Initiate And Sustain Discussions After Teacher Read-Alouds, Zoe Donoahue
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
I have always allowed ample time for discussion after reading to the class, believing that it helps children to better understand the text on a basic level, as well as encouraging them to examine characters and their motivations, make predictions, discuss the author's style and choices and explore the characteristics of various genres of writing. The discussions were conducted in what is likely a typical manner: children would raise their hands if they had something to say and I would choose at random, trying to ensure that I gave as many as possible a chance to talk. The effect of …

Book Review: Davidson, A.L. (1996). Making And Molding Identity In Schools: Student Narratives On Race, Gender, And Academic Engagement., Katherine Goff
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
Making and Molding Identity in Schools presents detailed case studies of six high school students to illustrate how racial and ethnic identities struggle against the school policies, discourses, and practices that work to reproduce social categories. Ann Locke Davidson also shows how some teachers and programs successfully challenge social categories. She expands on current social theories that link identity exclusively to cultural, ecomonic, and political forces by portraying how identities develop in ordinary, everyday activities that occur over time in different school settings. Some of the identities that the students learn prevent some of them from successfully engaging in practices …

Book Review: Gallas, Karen. (1998)."Sometimes I Can Be Anything": Power, Gender And Identity In A Primary Classroom., Zoe Donoahue
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
Karen Gallas' third book, Sometimes I Can Be Anything: Power, Gender and Identity in a Primary Classroom, is a fascinating account of how children use power and gender to find their place in the classroom community. Gallas examines children's social interactions, their "real" work in the classroom, focussing on gender in the context of the issues of power and social control. Gallas hopes "to provide the reader with an in-depth look at how the children [she] taught worked to understand the social terrain of the classroom and how [she] as their teacher made sense of their work" (p.3). Gallas' …

Building Communities Of Inquirers In Schools, Myriam Shechter
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
Belonging to a community of inquirers makes you keenly aware of the benefits of such membership, as well as of the problems inherent to any larger group of people working together. Our own group of inquirers, DICEP (Developing Inquiring Communities in Education Project), associated with OISE/UT, includes university-based staff, teachers, and graduate students. We have created a large network of communication lines through which ideas, comments and suggestions flow freely between all participants: e-mail, meetings, interviews and, timepermitting, social get-togethers.

This paper describes a comprehensive initiative intended to increase multicultural education and the amount of ethnic diversity among college of education faculty and undergraduate teacher education students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The paper details six components of the on-going initiative: 1) staff development: to enhance the sensitivity of college of education faculty regarding cultural issues, 2) a minority mentoring program: to provide a stronger support system for under-represented populations enrolled in the teacher education program, 3) the multicultural education project (MCE): a collaborative effort with the public school district in multicultural education, 4) the College of …

Preparing White Undergraduate Pre-Service Teachers To Teach African-American Students: What Does It Take?, Frances Y. Lowden
Trotter Review
A strong appreciation and knowledge of diverse cultures is vital in delivering what the Association for Childhood Education International position paper identifies as the curricular areas that should be addressed in a preparation program for teachers of young children. Thus, undergraduates must develop: 1) an acquaintance with great music, art and literature, 2) a knowledge of health, safety and nutrition, 3) an understanding of the physical and biological aspects of the world and the universe 4) a knowledge of mathematical concepts 5) an ability to read with comprehension, then to analyze, interpret, and judge a wide range of written material, …

The Integral Role Of Borough Of Manhattan Community College In The Mathematics Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, J. Gaston
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) of the City University of New York (CUNY) is the only two-year college on the island of Manhattan. This institution has a diverse population of approximately 17,000 students who attend day/evening/weekend classes. Over 1,000 students are enrolled in the Early Childhood Education (ECE) Program. Each year, approximately 300 new students select this area of concentration. The dropout rate is less than 14%. The ECE Program prepares students for elementary education programs at four-year institutions. The program also offers two career areas of study: Infant Toddler and Pre-School. This article will discuss how high quality …
