7. Tilting at windmills: one educator's quixotic quest for childhood classroom memories

Abstract

This narrative inquiry into autobiographical teacher knowledge delves into methodology used by an educator as he explored the following question: Do memories of our teachers affect future teaching practices? To that end, the participant-researcher travelled to his former elementary school to see if he could trigger memories of his teachers. Drawing on the situated learning theories of Dewey (1938) and Lortie (1975), this inquiry into teacher knowledge is a self-study that focuses on the elementary school experiences of a former public school educator and current teacher-educator at the university level. By identifying himself as researcher, teacher, and learner, the author considers the importance of reflective practice (Schon, 1983) and autobiographical reflection as he seeks to expand his personal practical knowledge (Connelly & Clandinin, 1988) and discover how that knowledge came to be. Recognizing the importance of previous contributions in the field of self-study for teacher-educators, this work extends the knowledge base of teacher-education practices by demonstrating how the reflective, self-conscious examination of one's work helps teacher-educators reframe their teaching and offer out their experience towards others' learning., At this point they came in sight of thirty forty windmills that there are on plain, and as soon as Don Quixote saw them he said to his squire, 'Fortune [...]

13. One World Is Enough

Author

Seaman, Mark and Seaman, Mark

Abstract

When Sting wrote and sang these lyrics more than twenty years ago, he was trying to illustrate the absurdity of dividing our planet into arbitrary designations (e.g., “Third World country”) based on conditions such as location, status, and culture. Today, educators continue to make similar, broad assumptions about populations based on, among other things, cultural background, language, and religion. These assumptions often inappropriately affect educational policy-making decisions at the national, state, and local levels. Educators today must continually deal with issues such as racism, language barriers, political influences, and cultural inclusion. This must be done in schools whose populations are becoming more diverse while its curriculum, driven by legislation such as No Child Left Behind (U.S. Department of Education, 2002), becomes more standardized.

Abstract

In recent years, two distinct theories concerning communities have emerged in regard to group efforts to improve practice: communities of practice (Lave & Wenger, 1991; Wenger, 1998a) and knowledge communities (Craig, 1992, 1995). This work compares the two theories so that educators may better understand their similarities and differences should they choose to utilize such communities in their research and/or practice.

Author

Gennetten, Douglas, Nakashima, James, Seaman, Mark, and Williams, Irene

Abstract

The article describes a method for creating/modifying templates that serve as a starting point for a document, such as creating a print job. In general, the template file may comprise one of extensible markup language, input extensible style sheet, extensible style sheet template, standard generalized markup language code. The imported data from the template file is de-serialized into objects. The objects are then rendered for viewing and modification. After a user is finished reviewing and potentially modifying the objects, the operation is provided for serializing the objects back to form a new template file. Examples of a data structure for implementing the present invention are shown in this paper. In one example, a cascading style sheet language may be used to describe each of the drawing objects. Moreover, proprietary tags may be used to customize and add additional data and metadata that a web browser may ignore, but may be used by one or more application programs. Some examples of the invention have the advantage of providing an ability to a graphics designer to create/modify a template of a file format using a web authoring tool instead of having to design and implement an authoring tool for the file format.

Abstract

New Jersey has made significant investments in transportation over the last 10 years, and numerous additional projects are planned or proposed for the next decade and beyond. These investments have improved and will continue to improve accessibility throughout the State and will increase New Jersey's attractiveness to businesses and individuals. In the past, these investments have been studied on a project basis. Each is designed to solve a problem within its corridor of influence. Collectively, however, these projects may substantially change the relative accessibility of northern New Jersey and affect economic development and land use throughout the region. With so much development proposed or in progress, it becomes vital to understand these effects. The questions that arise include: 1.) How do the planned and progressing infrastructure investments affect the accessibility of Northern New Jersey, and how can the changes be quantified?; 2.) If such changes occur, how and to what extent will they affect land use decisions? How can such decisions be shaped to have maximum positive impact on economic development, jobs and quality of life for the people in New Jersey?; and, 3.) How can the New Jersey Department of Transportation assist in this decision-making through development of appropriate planning and policy analysis tools? This report describes the results of our research on these questions. We begin by reviewing the parallel development of New Jersey's economy and transportation infrastructure. Next, we define accessibility and show how it has changed. At the heart of the report, we present the results of our studies, showing that improvements in accessibility have a significant impact on economic growth, and detailing the relationships between transportation infrastructure improvements and land development. Finally, we provide a set of analytical tools and guidelines to help shape future projects for maximum positive economic impact, and we analyze proposed pr
