A Public Politics for a Public Profession
My sister once told me a story about a husband and wife who drove across the country with their three-year-old son. They figured the kid would get bored, but he loved McDonald's, so every night they stopped to eat at one because they thought it would give him something to look forward to. It went well enough until the third night when the kid said, Dad, how come we drive all day and still end up at the same place? --John Gierach (2003, p. 68) Thi…
A Pattern Language for Teacher Education
Redesign of the teacher education programs at the University of Cincinnati has been structured by a unique conceptual framework. Borrowed from architecture, the framework has enabled college of education faculty, arts and sciences faculty, and public school administrators and teachers to re-envision teaching and teacher education by developing a language of practice. Called A Pattern Language for Teaching, the language identifies areas of knowled…
An Overview of Reform in Holmes Group Institutions
Institutional reform efforts described during the past 3 years in the The Holmes Group Forum, the consortium newsletter, were analyzed. Fifty institutions have described planning and pro gram changes. Six types of reforms are discussed: new connections with faculty in arts and sciences, teacher and school collaborations, professional development schools, internships, pro fessional studies, and new organizational partnerships. Questions needing di…
Learning the Language of Practice
This article describes learning to teach as a task involving learning to think and act in ways appropriate to the demands of the profession—a task referred to as “learning the language of practice.” The language of practice is described using common sense and practical analyses of knowledge and action. A study of student teachers is presented to illustrate processes and concepts involved in acquiring a language of practice. The paper concludes wi…
Examining thought in action
Research on Teacher Thinking
A relatively new approach to the study of teaching assumes that what teachers do is affected by what they think. This cognitive information processing approach is concerned with teacher judgment, decision making, and planning. The study of the thinking processes of teachers-how teachers gather, organize, interpret, and evaluate information-is expected to lead to understandings of the uniquely human processess that guide and determine teacher beha…
Cued Forgetting
This study investigated the effectiveness of a “forgetting cue” under different inter-stimulus intervals. Each S had each combination of 3 list conditions (2 trigrams, no cue; 2 trigrams, with cue; 1 trigram) and 3 inter-stimulus intervals (6, 15, and 40 sec.). Recall of the second trigram was measured. Performance with the cue was significantly better at 6 and 15 sec., while at 40 sec., there was no difference between 3 list conditions
