Imagined communities: Reflections on the origin and spread of nationalism

Experience and Educationis the best concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education(Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received. Analysing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an "ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.

经验与教育 = Experience and education

Attention to the beliefs of teachers and teacher candidates should be a focus of educational research and can inform educational practice in ways that prevailing research agendas have not and cannot. The difficulty in studying teachers’ beliefs has been caused by definitional problems, poor conceptualizations, and differing understandings of beliefs and belief structures. This article examines the meaning prominent researchers give to beliefs and how this meaning differs from that of knowledge, provides a definition of belief consistent with the best work in this area, explores the nature of belief structures as outlined by key researchers, and offers a synthesis of findings about the nature of beliefs. The article argues that teachers’ beliefs can and should become an important focus of educational inquiry but that this will require clear conceptualizations, careful examination of key assumptions, consistent understandings and adherence to precise meanings, and proper assessment and investigation of spec...

technologies used in institutional contexts. The actual impact of these reform techniques upon schools is directly related to the deeply held assumptions and patterns of behavior which underlie life in school. The second section explores the concept of institution and effect that this has on the learning that takes place within the school. This discussion looks closely at three specific characteristics of the school as institution and how these work against the intent of schooling and efforts to reform. The final section focuses on the resiliency of institutional patterns to change efforts.

La evaluación escolar puede comprender diversas cuestiones y complejidades que subyacen en los procesos de reforma, así como contribuir a una formulación de las políticas más informada. Este enfoque es importante para todos los que deseen promover la integridad intelectual y la igualdad social en la escolarización. La importancia de la evaluación escolar queda de manifiesto en una reciente teoría y metodología social que destaca el modo en que las categorías, distinciones y diferencias que se producen en la investigación social establecen intereses sociales y relaciones de poder (véase, por ejemplo, Bourdieu, 1984; Cherryhohnes, 1988; Clifford, 1988). Puesto que son generalmente quienes ostentan el poder los que encargan las evaluaciones, aunque sea en nombre del bien común, es importante tener en cuenta los valores sociales y las relaciones que subyacen en la investigación.

The purpose of this essay is to provide a methodological perspective to educational research and evaluation. The orientation we offer starts with the assumption that school is an institution that shapes and affects its participants. Further, we assume school like other institutions has developed certain regular or taken-for-granted patterns that direct both thought and behavior. Both teachers and students are asked to engage in certain actions, to organize their thinking in particular ways, and to describe and judge their actions with a specialized language. Schooling, then, involves more than physical and observable behavior. It entails assumptions, definitions, norms, and dispositions that guide individuals in their choice of actions in school and (probably) in larger social and economic structures.
