Scaffolding and bilingual shared reading experiences: Promoting primary school students' learning and development

This paper explores the connections between scaffolding, second language learning and bilingual shared reading experiences. A socio- cultural theory of cognition underpins the investigation, which involved implementing a language and culture awareness program (LCAP) in a year 4 classroom and in the school community. Selected passages from observations are used to analyse the learning of three students, particularly in relation to languages other than English (LOTE). As these three case study students interacted in the classroom, at home and in the community, they co-constructed, appropriated and applied knowledge form one language to another. Through scaffolding, social spaces were constructed, where students learning and development were extended through a variety of activities that involved active participation, such as experimenting with language, asking questions and making suggestions. Extending these opportunities for student learning and development is considered in relation to creating teaching and learning environments that celebrate socio-cultural and linguistic diversity.

Highlighting hybridity: A critical discourse analysis of teacher talk in science classrooms

There is evidence that alienation from science is linked to the dominant discourse practices of science classrooms (cf. Lemke, J. L. (1990). Talking Science: Language, Learning, and Values. Norwood, NJ: Ablex). Yet, in secondary science education it is particularly hard to find evidence of curriculum reform that includes explicit changes in pedagogic discourses to accommodate the needs of students from a wide range of backgrounds. However, such evidence does exist and needs to be highlighted wherever it is found to help address social justice concerns in science education. In this article, I show how critical discourse analysis can be used to explore a way of challenging the dominant discourse in teacher-student interactions in science classrooms. My findings suggest a new way of moving toward more socially just science curricula in middle years and secondary classrooms by using hybrid discourses that can serve emancipatory purposes. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals.

Imagining an interdisciplinary doctoral pedagogy

There has been a great deal of discussion about the need for interdisciplinary, applied research to service the needs of the knowledge economy and to solve the broader complex theoretical problems of the twenty-first century. This is known as 'Mode 2' knowledge production. Yet, university research higher degree programs continue to be largely disciplinary-based. While there has been a rise in the number of research students working on industry-related, applied projects, very few research students gain exposure to interdisciplinary research processes. This paper explores several examples of interdisciplinary doctoral programs based in North America and Australia and seeks to draw upon examples of undergraduate interdisciplinary learning and epistemology. In reviewing this theoretical work and a number of strategies implemented at an Australian university, the paper begins to imagine an interdisciplinary doctoral pedagogy.

Instruction to support mental computation development in young children of diverse ability

Fostering young children's mental computation capacity is essential to support their numeracy development. Debate continues as to whether young children should be explicitly taught strategies for mental computation, or be afforded the freedom to develop their own. This paper reports on teaching experiments with two groups of students in their first year of schooling: those considered 'at-risk', and those deemed mathematically advanced. Both groups made considerable learning gains as a result of instruction. Importantly, the gains of the at-risk group are likely to renew both their own, and their teacher's confidence in their ability to learn. In this paper, the instructional programs are documented, highlighting the influence of instruction upon the children's development.

QUALIDADE DE VIDA E BEM-ESTAR SUBJETIVO DE ESTUDANTES UNIVERSITÁRIOS

Considerando a expansão do ensino superior e do aumento do número de estudantes universitários, aumentam-se as demandas e a necessidade de se promover um desenvolvimento integral para o estudante. Diante disso, esse estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar subjetivo de estudantes universitários. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, quantitativo e de delineamento transversal, no qual foram utilizados o Instrumento de Avaliação de Qualidade de Vida (WHOQOL-Bref) da Organização Mundial da Saúde - OMS, a Escala de Bem-Estar Subjetivo - EBES e um Questionário de Caracterização Sociodemográfica. Participaram desse estudo 257 estudantes de ambos os gêneros e de seis cursos de graduação de uma universidade federal. A análise dos dados da qualidade de vida mostrou que o domínio com maior média (15,23) foi o de relações sociais e o pior (12,87) foi o de meio ambiente. Quando comparado a outros estudos, esses estudantes, em geral, apresentaram pior qualidade de vida. Quanto aos fatores da Escala de Bem-Estar Subjetivo foi encontrado maior média (3,80) na frequência de emoções negativas em comparação com as emoções positivas (3,27) e com a satisfação com a vida (3,57). A maioria dos estudantes, 185 (72%) apresentaram bem-estar subjetivo moderado. Através desses resultados, faz-se necessário pensar em ações de prevenção e promoção da saúde com o objetivo de amenizar ou eliminar os aspectos negativos encontrados e de fortalecer os positivos. Os resultados desse estudo apontam para a necessidade de uma ampliação das políticas de assistência ao estudante, com intervenções psicossociais que objetivem melhorar os índices de bem-estar subjetivo e de qualidade de vida.
