Teachers’ beliefs as a component of motivational force of professional agency
This article investigates teachers’ beliefs – addressed here as worldviews – in the context of educational change. The intention is to develop a dynamic approach according to which worldviews are professional resources of meanings and personal constructs. We questioned what constitutes their ‘mental realm’ and how they, referring to subjective realities of a person’s world construction, can be conceived as collective and professionally shared. The topic was tackled theoretically in the frame of a cultural-historical approach to mind in which we drew upon insights of the integrative concept of meaningful activit...

This creates a need for educators to equip students with a holistic education that emphasizes life skills like communication, cross-cultural collaboration, and critical thinking.

Representations of students becoming as writers
Publication date: Available online 15 March 2019Source: Learning, Culture and Social InteractionAuthor(s): Allison Wynhoff Olsen, Jennifer VanDerHeideAbstractIn order to study students' learning to write as becoming across time and modes, we study writing as an artifact of participation. We employ an intertextual method of analysis that foregrounds students' writing activity and traces back to curricular opportunities, classroom conversations, and classroom interactions while composing. We share how this analysis makes visible how four students across two classrooms were becoming as writers. This analysis complicates under...
