Planning and developing the instructional procedures and scaffolds for student success is daunting. In addition, the teacher implementing the lesson makes dozens of quick decisions as they attend to student thinking and decide how to respond. These spontaneous decisions can have large impacts in the level of student thinking demanded in an authentic pedagogy lesson. This two-year project integrated video teacher noticing reflection with scaffolded Lesson Study in a professional development project with two U.S. Government teachers. I investigated what teachers would notice while reflecting on six video cases of authentic pedagogy lessons, four of which they developed as a team. I also analyzed what teachers noticed during the lesson implementations, including the two research lessons and two independently developed lessons at the start and end of the project. Data revealed shifts in teacher attentiveness to student thinking in video reflection. However, the increased attention to student thinking did not play a significant role in decision-making while implementing independently developed lessons after two years. This article explores these findings and raises questions for future studies.","PeriodicalId":46808,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Research in Social Education","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136066171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study’s application of discourse analysis serves as a useful tool in continuing to improve curricular frameworks beyond static narratives that reproduce outdated ideologies of race and human development.

Even as the culture’s presence has spread within schools, the social studies has yet to engage with the civic identities and critical understandings of teachers and students who participate in Hip Hop culture. This critical qualitative study utilizes the politics of recognition and belonging as lenses to examine how the use of Hip Hop culture by four Black and Latina/o(x) teachers disrupts dominant notions of citizenship. These teachers’ critical Hip Hop pedagogical practices revealed a critical civicness that worked to trouble the social studies curriculum by making visible and resonant the civic identity, agency, and membership of systemically marginalized communities. Their work demonstrates how Hip Hop culture can be used to foster more civically inclusive and engaging spaces, as well as the importance of civic recognition and belonging in social studies classrooms.","PeriodicalId":46808,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Research in Social Education","volume":"51 1","pages":"343 - 371"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43255729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It builds on the premise that controversial issues arise unexpectedly in the classroom context and that some teachers actively choose to address such issues rather than avoid them. Through a series of semi-structured interviews with teachers from different school contexts in Europe, we found that the justifications need to be understood within a temporal framework characterized by the immediacy of the situation, encompassing the teachers’ past experiences and a desired future, unfolding in a specific context in which emotions play a significant role. The justifications are, at the same time, intricately embedded in teachers’ personal and professional beliefs and their task perception. Participants’ justifications were also guided by their moral convictions so that their actions may be understood as morally motivated responses to what they perceive to be unjust. The results suggest that the extent to which teachers’ personal and professional beliefs are aligned and anchored to a justice and equity framework, and what teachers understand by justice and equity, has implications in the classroom. The study proposes a model that can support teachers to reflect on their pedagogical decision-making when addressing unplanned controversial issues in the classroom.","PeriodicalId":46808,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Research in Social Education","volume":"51 1","pages":"233 - 263"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47895901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I observed two world history classrooms in a Midwestern Catholic school for 10 months and conducted task-based group interviews on 6 topics with 66 students. Findings indicate that students interacted differently with different topics, and their understandings of the given topics aligned with prior conceptions, situated in their sociocultural contexts, and teacher instruction in a complicated process. At times, the teachers’ instruction accommodated students’ prior conceptions, strengthening their misunderstandings. Certain instructional strategies also evoked students’ awareness of their current contextual values, such as democracy, human rights, and nonviolence, hindering them from rationally understanding different contexts in history. There were times, however, when the teachers’ intentional instruction overshadowed prevailing discourses, allowing students to successfully construct new understandings. From these findings, I argue that to be prepared for the world of their future, U.S. students need to go beyond the parameters of their sociocultural contexts and develop a comprehensive understanding, both nationally and globally, of the world.","PeriodicalId":46808,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Research in Social Education","volume":"51 1","pages":"372 - 407"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45736651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using exploratory factor analysis, two types of citizenship are identified as structuring the beliefs of teachers: duty-based citizenship, related to what the literature conceives of as a minimalist or personally responsible-type of citizen, and activism-based citizenship, or the citizen type defined in the literature as justice-oriented. Then, exploring bivariate correlations with teachers’ justification of different protest actions, we found that duty-based citizenship beliefs are related to a pattern in which protest (legal or illegal) is considered less justifiable, whereas activism-based beliefs correlate positively with a greater justification of both legal and illegal (blockades of streets and strikes) protest actions. We examine these findings, distinguishing between teachers’ beliefs and justifications as educators and as citizens, arguing that the context of socio-political crisis and mobilization is a key factor for interpreting the tensions and dilemmas of teaching citizenship in Chile.","PeriodicalId":46808,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Research in Social Education","volume":"51 1","pages":"464 - 485"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43359194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the openness and indeterminacy of these topics, students can experience what it is like to be (political) subjects in a diverse society and become aware of other people’s subjectness in a charged classroom. To better understand how to handle educational friction in the classroom, we observed and interviewed nine Dutch expert teachers and analyzed the empirical data by using our Educational Friction Modelling Framework as a heuristic lens. This study shows how teachers allowed extreme statements and used the subsequent friction during their lessons, challenged and provoked their students, made room for their pupils in several ways to enhance their participation, and made a distinction between rationality and emotions in the classroom. We argue that our framework sheds light on what charges the classroom and contributes to the further development of contained risk-taking as part of democratic education.","PeriodicalId":46808,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Research in Social Education","volume":"51 1","pages":"201 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41382381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
