Enhancing teacher education : the School-Community Intergrated Learning (SCIL) pathway

National Australian reviews advocate exploring new models for preservice teacher education. This study investigates the outcomes of the School-Community Integrated Learning (SCIL) pathway as a model for advancing preservice teachers’ understandings of teaching. Thirty-two final-year preservice teachers were surveyed with extended written responses on how the SCIL pathway advanced their understandings of teaching. Results indicated 100% agreement on 6 of the 27 survey items. Indeed, 78% or more preservice teachers agreed that they had a range of experiences across the five categories (i.e., personal-professional skill development, understandings of system requirements, teaching practices, student behaviour and reflective practices). Extended responses suggested they had developed understandings around setting up classrooms, whole school planning processes with professional development, the allocation of teacher responsibilities (e.g., playground duties), parent-teacher interviews, diagnostic testing for literacy and numeracy, commencing running records of students’ assessment results, and the development of relationships (students, teachers and parents). Although a longitudinal study is required to determine long-term effects, the SCIL pathway may be viewed as a positive step towards preparing final-year preservice teachers for their first year as fully-fledged teachers.

Conceptualisation and enactment of critical literacy for senior high school EAL learners in Queensland, Australia : commitments, constraints and contradictions

This case study examined four teachers' understandings and teaching of Critical Literacy with senior English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners in two Queensland high schools. Despite continuous, rapid curriculum change in Australia and efforts to diminish Critical Literacy, the four teachers continued to feature it successfully in their teaching with often marginalised learners. They used critical literacy to provide access to and critique dominant language codes, and to draw on learners' diverse experiences. To a lesser extent, the teachers created opportunities for redesigning dominant texts. Implications are important for policy production and interpretation, school planning and teacher professional development.

Education reform for at-risk youth : a social capital approach

Using the Education Queensland Reform Agenda to illustrate examples and approaches to education reform, this article discusses education reform for at-risk youth. It argues that the characteristics of modernity, the rise of Mode 2 Society, and the power asymmetries associated with the emergence of the politico-economic will contain the reform ambitions of the Education Queensland and other education reform agendas. It is proposed that the State adopt a transgressive and complimentary set of reform strategies including the adoption of distributed governance, making available meaningful school performance data, encouraging experimentation and facilitating broad stakeholder, community and neighbourhood engagement in school planning and operations. The article argues that measures such as these will assist to mobilize trust, minimise social fragmentation, generate and regenerate community resources, build cohesion, foster the socio-cultural-self-identities of 'at-risk' youth and will assist youth to achieve full participation in a robust and vibrant democracy.

De la formulation à l’implantation : expérience de la mise en oeuvre d’un projet éducatif et d’un plan de réussite d’une école primaire de la grande région de Montréal

En utilisant le cadre d’analyse de Honig (2006) qui étudie l’implantation d’une politique publique à la lumière des dimensions que sont le lieu, la politique et les acteurs, la présente recherche explore la relation entre l’implantation et la formulation d’une politique publique. Introduite en éducation par l’adoption, en 2002, du projet de loi 124 (Québec, 2002), la gestion axée sur les résultats s’est traduite par l’élaboration d’une planification stratégique pour la commission scolaire et d’un plan de réussite découlant d’un projet éducatif pour l’établissement scolaire. Or, l’étude de cas unique de cette recherche qui s’insère dans un projet dirigé par le professeur Martial Dembélé sur la gestion axée sur les résultats à l’ordre d’enseignement primaire au Québec (FQRSC, 2007-2008 ; CRSH, 2007-2010) permet l’examen de la relation formulation - implantation du projet éducatif/plan de réussite d’une école primaire située dans la grande région de Montréal. Les résultats de cette recherche démontrent que la formulation d’une politique a un impact sur son implantation, mais cette dimension n’est pas exclusive à une implantation effective. Les autres dimensions que sont les acteurs et le lieu ont tout autant d’effet : une ou deux dimensions peuvent pallier à la faiblesse de la troisième.

Planejamento e gestão escolar: um estudo de caso na Cooperativa Educacional do Maranhão

A presente dissertação aborda sobre a temática gestão e planejamento escolar participativo. Verificou-se a existência de um planejamento escolar participativo em uma cooperativa escolar. Os referenciais teóricos utilizados estão relacionados ao planejamento escolar, gestão, projeto político-pedagógico e currículo, tendo como base uma inter-relação dos mesmos no que tange a ação educativa e suas inerências. Para a investigação empírica optou-se pelo estudo de caso cujos objetivos da pesquisa são caracterizados como exploratórios e descritivos, tendo por finalidade a melhor explicitação dos fenômenos estudados. Os sujeitos envolvidos na investigação compreendem: professores, discentes, pais/responsáveis e gestão escolar sendo o estudo realizado em duas etapas. Na primeira etapa, de caráter quantitativo, utilizou-se como instrumentos de pesquisa questionários com questões estruturadas e, na segunda etapa, de caráter qualitativo, entrevistas estruturadas a fim de apurar mais dados acerca do planejamento realizado no locus do estudo. Como resultado mais geral, observou-se que apesar de ser uma escola que trabalha com a filosofia de cooperativismo, esta demonstra indícios de que não ocorre o planejamento escolar participativo como se espera, e que algumas medidas precisam ser tomadas para que este planejamento realmente envolva todos os atores participantes da escola, bem como possam produzir melhores resultados.
