The reverse Matilda effect
It is often assumed that highlighting the contributions of female researchers to STEM fields may make those fields more attractive to women, thereby encouraging female participation. The present study (n = 802) aimed to test that assumption by investigating the impact of messages highlighting the contributions of women researchers to two STEM fields, (mathematics and biology) on the perception of those fields among high school students and compar…
Theoretical Issues in Reading Comprehension
Research in cognitive psychology, linguistics, education and artificial intelligence -- the four disciplines that have the most direct application to an understanding of the mental processes in reading -- is presented in this multilevel work that attempts to provide a systematic and scientific basis for understanding and building a comprehensive theory of reading comprehension. The major focus is on understanding the processes involoved in the co…

International Handbook of Progressive Education
Jane Addams was a social reformer and one of the founders of the field of sociology. She worked to create better working conditions for immigrants, for the control of dis- ease and the development of public health, in the areas of multicultural understanding and peace activism. What she accomplished and wrote about during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Chicago stands as a model for how to infuse democracy throughout every aspect of lif…

Theories and models of and for online learning
For many years, discussion of online learning, or e-learning, has been pre-occupied with the practice of teaching online and the debate about whether being online is 'as good as' being offline. The authors contributing to this paper see this past as an incubation period for the emergence of new teaching and learning practices. We see changes in teaching and learning emerging from the nexus of a changing landscape of information and communication …
Credibility of the Web
The World Wide web is growing rapidly, unpredictably, unevenly, and without the familiar \nguideposts of established publishers and vetting procedures. As the web assumes ever \ngreater importance in education, research, and daily life, these phenomena deserve more \ncritical examination. Is the web a bountiful source of information and resources on every \nconceivable topic, as some claim? Or, is it unreliable, ephemeral, and overcommercialized …
What Do Feminist Theories Have to Offer to Literacy, Education, and Research
The authors share how feminist theories affect their own work and explore the influence of feminist methodologies on classroom research
Collaborative writing and technological change
Collaborative writing in multiple discourse contexts
This Is Not a Paper
This article explores some of the prospects for electronic publishing in educational research. 1 Some scholars have predicted that paper journals and other periodicals will disappear within a decade. Others insist that electronic and paper publishing can and should coexist, each serving distinct purposes suited to their respective media. In assessing this debate, we argue, educational researchers and others concerned with publishing should weigh …

Interpretation and manipulation in human plans∗
An analysis of children's interpretations of a complex episode of social interaction is used to illustrate three features of human plans which distinguish them from robot plans and which form a basis for a theory of the development of social action. The features are: (1) Human plans are social; (2) human plans operate on interpretations; and (3) human plans are used, not just executed. Elementary school and college subjects were shown a skit in w…
Many problems and some techniques of text analysis
A social interaction model of reading∗
An author and a reader are engaged in a social interaction which depends on their goals and their beliefs about the world and each other.One aspect of this interaction is the creation of another level of social interaction involving an "implied author" and an "implied reader".The newly created characters may, in their turn, create another level of social interaction involving, for example, a "narrator" and a "narratee".Each level so created permi…
