- W13478562 abstract "INTRODUCTION The label has lately garnered certain cachet in education-speak. A Google search for best+practices+education reveals pages of relevant hits. At the 2010 conference of the Texas Council for the Social Studies, there was presentation strand labeled practice. The National Education Agency has section on its website titled Research Spotlight on Practices in Education. And tour of university library catalog might reveal books as for high school classrooms (Stone, 2002), for students in urban schools (Duhon-Sells, 2004), for ELL (English Language Learning) instruction (Li & Edwards, 2010), or for writing (Graham, MacArthur, & Fitzgerald, 2007). Best would seem be the pinnacle of practice generate learning inside the classroom. Borrowed from the language of business, it refers to set of techniques for most efficiently and effectively producing desired outcome (Lampert, 2010, p. 25), suggesting assurance for the educators, legislators, or parents wondering about what do improve learning in schools. The notion of practice can seem especially compelling in this time of teacher deskilling (Kincheloe, 2004) and of reductionist solutions for generating ever higher standardized test scores. It suggests that if we will simply implement this practice or this method, then education will improve. However, important questions can also be raised about assertions of practice. For starters, while the language seems clear at first glance, its definition in the literature is not. In fact, concise definition use for this essay proved hard find; while titles of books and articles might contain the phrase practice, they often do not offer any definition of what the phrase means. We can only assume that those authors consider the meaning of the phrase be self-evident. And when we did find definition, it proved be only vague and general claim. Zemelman, Daniels, and Hyde (2005) describe as a shorthand emblem of serious, thoughtful, informed, responsible, state-of-the-art teaching (p. vi). We're not sure what this means. A range of practices might reasonably be called serious, thoughtful, or responsible. But the word best implies comparative hierarchy: not many practices, but select and specific practices. Later in their text, Zemelman, Daniels, and Hyde state that is philosophy that is student-centered, experiential, authentic, holistic, democratic, and constructivist (p. 227). While this focuses what they mean by best, we argue that this philosophy of does not always serve all contexts and purposes in schools. This objection leads another problem with practice: best achieve what goal and best based on what evidence? (Lampert, 2010). As Lampert continues, The arguments are familiar: Is our goal keep students in school until they are 17 or teach them read? Does reading mean decoding, or comprehension, or an appreciation of literature? The practices for teachers do would, of course, depend on how these questions were answered. (p. 25) Our purpose in this essay is problematize decontextualized notions of by focusing on two areas of instruction in schools: social studies and second language acquisition. Specific instructional practices and qualities have been labeled as best in each of these areas. Yet, as our experience and our research show, conflicts emerge when the rhetoric of is juxtaposed with the realities teachers often face in formal classroom settings. METHODOLOGY This research is primarily grounded in theory from Dewey and Schwab. We draw from Dewey (1916) the argument that educators have be on their guard against ends that are alleged be general and ultimate (p. …" @default.
