1. The Construction of Criteria for Selecting Social Studies Lesson Plans for Electronic Portfolios.

Author

Sunal, Cynthia Szymanski, McCormick, Theresa, Shwery, Craig S., and Sunal, Dennis W.

Abstract

Elementary education teacher candidates (n=62) proposed four criteria they used to identify a best lesson plan developed and taught for posting to their electronic portfolio. Criteria include a lesson that students enjoyed, learned from, actively participated in, and were involved in conducting research. The two criteria shared by all teacher candidates are: (1) a lesson that was liked by all the students, and (2) one from which they learned. Scoring with rubric and focusing on guided inquiry instruction, it was found that 86% of the lessons were evaluated as best by investigators. Patterns of strengths and weaknesses within the lessons were also found. Electronic portfolios can be used to demonstrate candidates' conceptions of their best lesson and should be accompanied by commentary identifying the rationale for those conceptions.

2. Teachers from Five Nations Share Perspectives on Culture and Citizenship

Author

Sunal, Cynthia Szymanski, Christensen, Lois McFadyen, Shwery, Craig S., Lovorn, Michael, and Sunal, Dennis W.

Abstract

Online discussions enabled preK-12 teachers (n = 125) from five nations (Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and the United States) to share their perspectives of culture and citizenship and the intersections of those concepts. Discussion moved between elements of personal and others' theory into effects of theory on practice. Teachers identified culture and citizenship as multilayered concepts evolving to meet issues present in the early 21st century. Social studies teaching practice was thought to be affected by individual definitions of these concepts and by definitions held by influential groups in society. Transformative teaching is needed to assist students in developing their identities as citizens in a world in which the concepts of culture and citizenship are shifting.
