Reflections on sociological approaches to the question of knowledge in education
This paper discusses how the English Sociology of education attempted (with the single exception of the work of Basil Bernstein, and a very small group of scholars, mostly based in South Africa) largely failed to address the question of knowledge in education failures to develop a theory of ‘knowledge’ in education and why it was accessed by only a small minority of, mostly, the most privileged pupils. This leads to a suggestion that one possible…
Course grades as a signal of student achievement
There is widespread speculation and some evidence that grades and grading standards changed during the pandemic, making higher grades relatively easier to achieve. In this paper we use longitudinal data from students in Washington State to investigate middle and high school grades in math, science, and English pre‐ and post‐pandemic. Our descriptive analysis of the data reveals that—in accordance with state guidance—almost no students received an…
Public Space as a Stress-Relieving Healing Environment
High population and fewer opportunities in rural areas, coupled with migration has resulted in an increase of population in urban areas of developing countries like India.Unskilled labour and a low level of education have forced people to resort to street vending for their livelihood.Moreover, street vending does not need high levels of skills and there is also no rental burden.In fact, it has a very low capital requirement.They now make up about…

Transmedia storytelling occurs when integral elements of a particular narrative are dispersed across multiple delivery channels using multiple media for the purpose of creating an integrated and coordinated storytelling experience. Educators have the opportunity to reconceptualize what literacy and learning could and should look like in and out of school. It provides opportunities for students to create their own stories that expand the lore and …
Por que o conhecimento é importante para as escolas do século XXI
Neste artigo, evidencio a tendência de temor ao conhecimento, tanto no pensamento acadêmico quanto nas políticas educacionais na Inglaterra. Em vez de considerar o conhecimento como uma fonte de liberdade, de acordo com o grande filósofo do Iluminismo, identifico uma preocupante tendência a crer na experiência e considerar o conhecimento como algo do qual se deve ser "libertado". Vou explorar uma alternativa a esse "medo do conhecimento", com a i…

Do video games show demonstrable relationships to academic achievement gains when used to support the K-12 curriculum? In a review of literature, we identified 300+ articles whose descriptions related to video games and academic achievement. We found some evidence for the effects of video games on language learning, history, and physical education (specifically exergames), but little support for the academic value of video games in science and ma…
Steps Toward an Ecology of Writing in Digital Environments
This study examined how exposure to a computer-generated, avatar-based environment influences student composition of an essay in response to a writing prompt. Drawing on the distinctions between firsthand and secondhand experiences, this article sketches an ecological model of writing that attempts to explain why students exposed to an avatar-based environment wrote first-person essays in the present tense, whereas students exposed to a comparabl…
O futuro da educação em uma sociedade do conhecimento
O texto focaliza o papel, na educação, do conhecimento em si. Argumenta que, para se dar um sentido sério à importância da educação, é fundamental tornar a questão do conhecimento foco central das análises no campo da educação, o que requer o desenvolvimento de uma abordagem do currículo baseada mais no conhecimento e na disciplina e menos no aprendiz e em seus interesses. Defende, ainda, que essa é uma opção radical. O artigo sustenta que, em te…
Family, cultural and gender role aspects in the context of HIV risk among African American women of unidentified HIV status
This was an exploratory, qualitative study of contextual cultural and social realities of the sexual interactions of a representative sample of African American women of unidentified HIV status. The study expanded our understanding of family and gender role variables by exploring influences of family of origin and idealistic perceptions of roles on sexual relationships. Data was collected on 51 African American women who were recruited through pr…
Durkheim and Vygotsky's theories of knowledge and their implications for a critical educational theory
This paper is part of the ongoing work of the author and others in developing a social realist theory of knowledge for educational studies. It contrasts Durkheim and Vygotsky's theories and why both are important for educational theory. It begins by emphasizing the similarities between them; that knowledge has to be understood in terms of its historical development in human societies and that the acquisition of knowledge is the primary goal of fo…
The assault on the professions and the restructuring of academic and professional identities
This paper draws upon a range of ideas and concepts developed by the British sociologist Basil Bernstein to examine recent challenges and changes encountered by members of professional occupations, including those who teach and research in higher education. The paper discusses and seeks to develop Bernstein's analysis of how particular structurings of knowledge may be related to the formation of occupational identities centred in what Bernstein r…
Making things happen
Philosophical analysis can indeed have a practical impact on public policy. It is not only in the fields of ethics or decision theory that interdisciplinary approaches have proven to be fruitful, but also in the growing new discipline of conflict resolution. Using the anecdotal example of the Ten Point Coalition in Boston, this paper proposes a new 'philosophical' approach to conflict resolution. It starts with the realization that negotiation re…
An old problem in a new context
This article is concerned with the development of social scientific knowledge (exemplified by the case of sociology of education) and its relationship to education policy. It draws on and contrasts the experience of the author in working at the interface between theory and policy in two very different contexts: the United Kingdom in the 1970s and 1990s and South Africa since 1990. It argues for attention to both the state of the intellectual fiel…
Effectiveness of highly active antiretroviral therapy among HIV-1 infected women
Study objective: To describe the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on mortality, morbidity, and markers of HIV disease progression in HIV infected women. Design: Data collected from the Women's Interagency HIV Study, a prospective cohort study that enrolled women between October 1994 and November 1995. Setting: Six clinical consortia based in five cities in the United States (New York, NY; Washington, DC; Los Angeles, CA; San…
Rescuing the Sociology of Educational Knowledge from the Extremes of Voice Discourse
This paper is a response to that of Moore and Muller 'The Discourse of Voice and the Problem of Knowledge and Identity in the Sociology of Education', which appeared in Volume 20 of this journal. It starts by summarising and endorsing their criticisms of 'voice discourses' but argues that their case is weakened by their failure to distinguish clearly between the 'debunking of knowledge' associated with the postmodernist theories that underpin 'vo…

Acculturation Attitudes in Plural Societies
Dans les sociétés culturellement diversifiés, les individus peuvent présenter des attitudes relatives à leurs relations avec les autres et les groupes. Ces attitudes (dites “attitudes d'acculturation”) sont liées à des prises de position sur deux problèmes généraux posés à toute personne en acculturation: la préservation culturelle de son propre groupe et le contact avec les autres groupes. On définit les attitudes d'assimilation, d'intégration, …

On the politics of educational knowledge
An attempt is made to raise some preliminary implications of recognizing the ‘political’ character of education and definitions of educational knowledge in particular, by taking the Schools Council as a case study. Following a brief review of some existing approaches to the politics and control of education, and a specification of the possible significance of the Schools Council as a critical case, a more detailed critique of current orthodoxies …

A preacher in a college town
John R. Mott is credited with making the statement: I had my life to live over again, as I see opportunity today, I should wish to plant myself alongside one of our modern state universities. It is here that the Christian leader of today finds his largest opportunity to influence the lives and characters of the men and women who are to lead our American life tomorrow.'
