Establishing Scientific Classroom Discourse Communities: Multiple Voices of Teaching and Learning Research
by Wolff-Michael Roth Randy YerrickEstablishing Scientific Classroom Discourse Communities: Multiple Voices of Teaching and Learning Research is designed to encourage discussion of issues surrounding the reform of classroom science discourse among teachers, teacher educators, and researchers. The contributors--some of the top educational researchers, linguists, and science educators in the world--represent a variety of perspectives pertaining to teaching, assessment, research, learning, and reform. As a whole the book explores the variety, complexity, and interconnectivity of issues associated with changing classroom learning communities and transforming science classroom discourse to be more representative of the discourse of scientific communities. The intent is to expand debate among educators regarding what constitutes exemplary scientific speaking, thinking, and acting. This book is unparalleled in discussing current reform issues from sociolinguistic and sociocultural perspectives. The need for a revised perspective on enduring science teaching and learning issues is established and a theoretical framework and methodology for interpreting the critique of classroom and science discourses is presented. To model and scaffold this ongoing debate, each chapter is followed by a "metalogue" in which the chapter authors and volume editors critique the issues traversed in the chapter by opening up the neatly argued issues. These "metalogues" challenge, extend, and deepen the arguments made. Central questions addressed include: *Why is a sociolinguistic interpretation essential in examining science education reform? *What are key similarities and differences between classroom and scientific communities? *How can the utility of common knowledge and existing classroom discourse be balanced toward alternative outcomes? *What curricular issues are associated with transforming classroom talk? *What other perspectives can assist in creating multiple access to science through redefining classroom discourse? Whether this volume improves readers' science teaching, assists their research, or helps them to better prepare tomorrow's science teachers, the goal is to engage them in considering the challenges faced by educators as they navigate the seas of reform and strive to improve science education for all.
Estereotipas: Lady Ganga, Miss Prótesis, Conciliátrix y otras mujeres de hoy en día
by Luz Sánchez-MelladoIngeniosas, incisivas, inmisericordes, brutalmente divertidas, las ESTEREOTIPAS provocan la carcajada instantánea contándonos su vida. Se ríen de todos y de todas, pero sobre todo de ellas mismas. Exprimir ofertas y rebajas y convertirse en Lady Ganga; sacar el máximo partido al propio cuerpo aunque sea con trampa para proclamarse Miss Prótesis; cumplir años con clase y bregar con las nuevas tecnologías para que no te llamen Patética Viejuna; mudarse a los suburbios y sobrevivir como especie Periférica y Adosada; divorciarse y volver al mercado de las Depredadoras y Presas; tirarse a la yugular de la mejor amiga, la ex del novio o la suegra de marras como una buena Hermana Loba; combatir el estrés con la armadura de Conciliátrix, la superheroína que compatibiliza el trabajo con la familia, y poder contarlo todo con pelos, señales, glorias y miserias, orgullosa de ser una Incontinente Verbal, y a mucha honra. Así es el mundo bipolar de las ESTEREOTIPAS: les han dicho desde la cuna que tienen que ser perfectas y lo peor es que se lo han creído a pies juntillas. Luchan cuerpo a cuerpo en la jungla de la vida y casi siempre salen perdiendo, pero con dignidad y estilo. Contradictorias y coherentes, mezquinas y sublimes, cobardes y audaces, capaces de lo mejor y lo peor para salvar el pellejo y el tipo. Divinas, pero muy humanas.
Estimating Spoken Dialog System Quality with User Models
by Klaus-Peter EngelbrechtSpoken dialog systems have the potential to offer highly intuitive user interfaces, as they allow systems to be controlled using natural language. However, the complexity inherent in natural language dialogs means that careful testing of the system must be carried out from the very beginning of the design process. This book examines how user models can be used to support such early evaluations in two ways: by running simulations of dialogs, and by estimating the quality judgments of users. First, a design environment supporting the creation of dialog flows, the simulation of dialogs, and the analysis of the simulated data is proposed. How the quality of user simulations may be quantified with respect to their suitability for both formative and summative evaluation is then discussed. The remainder of the book is dedicated to the problem of predicting quality judgments of users based on interaction data. New modeling approaches are presented, which process the dialogs as sequences, and which allow knowledge about the judgment behavior of users to be incorporated into predictions. All proposed methods are validated with example evaluation studies.
