RE: microanalysis of teaching/learning

From: David H Kirshner (dkirsh@lsu.edu)
Date: Tue Mar 08 2005 - 09:26:48 PST






My thanks to Mike Cole, Carol Lee, Phil Chappell, Peter Smagorinsky, Jay
Lemke, Ellice Forman, Ruth Berry, and David Preiss for replies to my
request for "studies in which researchers/theorists have collaborated with
teachers to explicate complex teaching and learning processes in classroom
settings, that simultaneously serve to develop and inspire visions of
teaching excellence." Some of these works are known to me, others not.
All are appreciated.

As promised, here is a listing of the suggestions.

Nice to know you are around, David.
Seems like you couldn't pass up bud mehan's book, Learning Lessons.
Derek Edwards book of a decade or more ago? Must be some Gordon Wells
around.

There's some interesting new work just starting up here, that I am loosely
associated with, in mathematics teaching, with researchers collaborating
with teachers to look at the logics of practice (in Bourdieu's sense) of
teachers by having conversations around videos and scenarios of unusual
possibilities, or just a wide range of options, at various moments in
classroom teaching.

The lead on this is Patricio Herbst, collaborating with Dan Chazan and a
group of math teachers in various roles from project assistants to
conversation partcipants. It builds on some earlier work by Herbst, contact
him for more info. pgherbst@umich.edu
