This article explores the ways in which high school teachers understand their students in relation to their own racialized social class backgrounds. It problematizes ethnic outsider inabilities to engage teaching philosophies and practices, which render teachers unable to create constructive dialogues with students that have been marginalized in the culture of schooling. Given classed, raced, and gendered past practices in education and their schooling trajectory, which have historically truncated their potential mobility, this study is mediated by racial social class positions, which veil issues that intersect with structural inequalities. As such, this case study explores teacher/student engagements, focusing on reproduction of consciousness as unrealized teacher/learner schooling interactions. It is framed in contradiction to normative teaching practices, problematizing the absences of critical pedagogy in instruction, as it suggests alternative venues from an empowered perspective.

Background: Design and training methods for instructors on integrating experiential learning continues to be a challenge in high school education. Purpose: This work reports on research concerning the current status, available resources, limitations, and capabilities of high school teachers implementing experiential learning in a technical and vocational high school curriculum in Guatemala. Methodology/Approach: Case study methodology was used to examine professional development training involving the implementation of experiential learning into an agriculture and forestry curriculum. The design of the training included a series of hands-on activities to enable teachers to identify barriers and drivers influencing experiential learning and the redesign of a course program. Findings/Conclusions: Teachers were able to identify resources and limitations affecting the implementation of experiential learning in their teaching program. The guidance and examples provided by the instructors were fundamental for the teachers to modify a standard course program that included significant experiential learning methodologies. Implications: Many high school teachers lack the training and knowledge necessary for integrating experiential learning. Furthermore, in many cases, they are required to follow a structured curriculum that at allows for minimal modifications. Teachers also recognize that courses that only include classroom activities are the most challenging for including experiential learning activities.

The aim of the present study wasto propose a model to evaluate the effective factors on cooperation of the learning groups in smart schools. The study is correlational descriptive. The population of the study includes the total number of smart high school teachers of Tehran in the academic year 2011-2012. Sampling has been multistage clustering. A number of 360 of the teachers were selected randomly for conducting the research. Three researcher-designed questionnaires were used as data collection instruments: 1) The questionnaire of the effective factors on cooperation of the learning groups (α =0.93); 2) The questionnaire of learning motivation (α = 0.87); and 3) The questionnaire of collaboration factors in the learning groups (α = 0.83). The overall results of the study indicated that among the four studied factors, the direct effect coefficient of the preparing ground factor (0.692) had the greatest effect on collaboration of the learning groups in smart schools. The indirect effect of the mentioned factor also was the greatest based on the indices of the importance of group learning (0.415) and guidelines and strategies (0.300). According to the findings of the research, GFI index has been 0.95 and AGFI index 0.91 suggesting that the model has a rather desirable fitness.

The purpose of this research was to describe the competence of the high school teachers in Jambi in designing, implementing, and evaluating HOTS-oriented Indonesian Language learning. To answer this question, the concept of Indonesian Language learning was employed. This study used a qualitative design with case study technique. The data were comprised of the responses, learning process, and action conducted by the teachers. The respondents were selected using purposive sampling method by considering teacher’s academic qualifications. Data collection was performed through interview accompanied by focused group discussion (FGD), observation and document-ation. The results of this study showed that the Indonesian Language teachers had designed, implemented and evaluated students’ performance in HOTS-oriented Indonesian Language learning. Unfortunately, the teachers were less capable of synergizing the HOTS-oriented learning with pedagogical approaches, such as genre-based (text learning), scientificlearning and CLIL.
