Whose History?

Whose History?

Somebody once quipped that any work of Australian historical fiction is a ‘burning fuse’, travelling over decades through Australian culture and society. In some manner, every newly published Australian historical novel is connected to what it has preceded. Each work belongs to a proud history. Through multiple examples, Grant Rodwell encourages readers to see how a work of historical fiction has evolved. Thus, under various themes, WHOSE HISTORY? examines the traditions in Australian historical fiction, and ponders how Australian historical novels can engage teachers and student teachers. WHOSE HISTORY? aims to illustrate how historical novels and their related genres may be used as an engaging teacher/learning strategy for student teachers in pre-service teacher education courses. It does not argue all teaching of History curriculum in pre-service units should be based on the use of historical novels as a stimulus, nor does it argue for a particular percentage of the use of historical novels in such courses. It simply seeks to argue the case for this particular approach, leaving the extent of the use of historical novels used in History curriculum units to the professional expertise of the lecturers responsible for the units.

Reading and Writing the World with Mathematics

Reading and Writing the World with Mathematics

Mathematics education in the United States can reproduce social inequalities whether schools use either ‘basic-skills’ curricula to prepare mainly low-income students of color for low-skilled service jobs or ‘standards-based’ curricula to ready students for knowledge-intensive positions. And working for fundamental social change and rectifying injustice are rarely included in any mathematics curriculum. Reading and Writing the World with Mathematics argues that mathematics education should prepare students to investigate and critique injustice, and to challenge, in words and actions, oppressive structures and acts. Based on teacher-research, the book provides a theoretical framework and practical examples for how mathematics educators can connect schooling to a larger sociopolitical context and concretely teach mathematics for social justice.

School Discourse

School Discourse

Writing development has been a key area of research in applied linguistics for some time but most work has focused on children’s writing at particular ages, for example, at the early primary, late primary or secondary stage.? Christie and Derewianka draw on extensive research in both primary and secondary years to trace the developmental trajectory from age 5 or 6 through to 18.? Using a systemic functional grammar, they outline developmental changes in writing in three major areas of the school curriculum – English, history, and science – as children move from early childhood to late childhood and on to adolescence and adulthood.? The book considers the nature of the curriculum at various stages, discussing the interplay of curriculum goals, pedagogy and developmental changes as children grow older.? It also explores how emergent control of the different subjects requires control of various subject specific literacies and considers the pedagogical implications of their findings.? It will be of interest to anyone involved in the writing performance of children in schools, particularly applied and educational linguists.
