Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the design, development and implementation of Microcomputer-Based Laboratory experiments appropriate for Chemistry 11 and 12 in British Columbia. Computer apparatus, software and instructional materials were designed and constructed with feeedback and assistance from students and teachers. These materials were then used in the classroom laboratory to collect and prepare real-time graphs of pH, spectrophotometric and temperature data for modified versions of laboratories 2a, 16b, 19b, and 20h taken from the Canadianized Heath Chemistry laboratory program. Results of student academic performance are presented, along with samples of the interactions used during iterative materials design. The appropriateness of MBL incorporation is discussed at length, and suggested courses of action presented to B.C. Chemistry educators interested in acquiring MBL technology.

Abstract:

Based upon semi-structured interviews with 11 university students from Iran between 18 to 24 years of age at universities in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, this research addressed a gap in the literature by documenting the narratives of participants’ school experiences in Iran and Canada. In addition, this research explored the construction of identities as the narratives we tell other people and confirmed by what others tell about us (Sfard & Prusak, 2005). Two main research questions guided this study: What narratives do participants tell of their school experiences? What narratives do participants tell of their actual and designated identities? The data was analyzed and interpreted following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis and informed by sociocultural theory (Wertsch, 1985). Five themes were identified: Ritual practices in establishing the school context and constructing identities; English language as a cultural tool in mediating identities; social relationships in shaping identities; and actual and designated identities. This study contributes to the literature by examining the educational experiences of Iranian immigrants to Canada. Implications for schools, along with limitations and suggestions for future research, are addressed in the conclusion.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the early twentieth century beginnings of the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia, when that university first accepted responsibility for the education of secondary teachers. The university's participation came in successive stages, beginning with summer school sessions, moving to a shared training responsibility for high school teachers with the Normal School, and eventually to total responsibility for the training of high school teachers. In addition to documenting the steps by which high school teacher training became established as a program of university studies, this study analyzes the academic, social and political forces that combined to create a perceived need for, and then to legitimize, the creation of a new university department. The University of British Columbia's acceptance of responsibility for this training was a culmination of a complex social interaction of three groups (including the state, the teachers, and university administrators and faculty) all of whose values were shaped by the newly dominant ideology of professionalism. Accordingly, fundamental assumptions about "appropriate" training for teachers were embedded in a social milieu where professionalization, bureaucratization, and gender issues were compelling forces. The perceived centrality of professionals in a increasingly technocratic society led to pressure being exerted from a number of quarters in British Columbia for the institutionalization of high school teacher training in an appropriately scientific arena - the university. This study focuses on the theoretical principles underlying the dialectic of ideological determinism and human agency, as well as the historical evidence of the way that one such ideology (professionalism) shaped the transition of social policy (high school teacher training). The study concludes by utilizing contemporary theoretical perspectives to discuss the premises which inform not only the ideology of professionalism but also any metanarrative which purports to identify the true way for training teachers and by expressing hope that, as the type of knowledge associated with social power shifts, those who establish any new framework for teacher education will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to better understand the educational practices used in first year law school and the impact of these practices on students. Prior research showed that students are negatively impacted during first year and that educational practices are somewhat to blame. This study is consistent with this literature and provides new and important information about the extent to which teaching methods; content and curriculum; assessment and grading; learning theory and aims of law school all contribute to the experiences of law students. The research method in this study consisted of in-depth interviews of 19 University of British Columbia law school graduates who had completed law school a few months earlier. Graduates were questioned about their perceptions of both the first year law school educational practices and their impacts, specifically in relation to the five core courses taught in first year law school. This study revealed that students found first year law school problematic in many ways. This research supports the literature that suggests the case method and the lecture method used in first year are not entirely effective or efficient for student learning. The case method seems to makes learning more difficult and slower than it needs to be. As suggested in the literature the lecture method was useful in providing information to students and this information helped students focus their studies. However, these typically didactic lectures did not appear to engage students or encourage deeper learning. The question and answer technique used in some lectures intimidated students and appeared to interfere with their learning.

Abstract:

The nature and role of higher education is changing. The relationship between the University, the student, and greater society is shifting. Internal (e.g., concerns about accessibility and inclusion) and external (e.g., funding and market demands) forces are converging in a way that demands a reconceptulization of higher education and the learning process. This thesis tries to identify and integrate varying facets that contribute to the changing landscape of university education, specifically focusing on the increased interest in applied learning opportunities at the post-secondary level, and the ways in which different professional and academic programs are incorporating such opportunities into their programs. These findings are interpreted in the context of graduate planning education at the University of British Columbia's School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP). This qualitative study is grounded in an analytical reflection informed by my own experiences as a graduate planning student, by a review of academic, professional, government, and public press literature, and by interviews with various academics, administrators, and practitioners. The thesis presents an overview of literature from the field of planning education, and an introduction to the literature of higher education. This is followed by an examination of graduate planning schools in Canada and analogous professional/academic programs in British Columbia, which provide ample evidence and support for the emerging practice of incorporating indifferent types of applied learning opportunities (e.g., co-op program, internship, and practicum). A summary of trends, models of innovation, best practice ideals, and recommendations for graduate planning education at SCARP conclude the thesis. Most importantly, the recommendation is made for the school to continue and improve its trial internship program as well as persist in exploring ways of providing applied learning opportunities to students. Programs in higher education must continue to link theory and practice in ways that best serve students in today's changing society.

Heese, Brian. "Effects of the elimination of Grade 12 Provincial Exams in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics on teachers in a British Columbia School District." Thesis, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/1828/6321.

Abstract:

From 1983 until 2011 Grade 12 students in the Canadian province of British Columbia were required to write provincial exams in a wide variety of academic subjects, including Biology 12, Chemistry 12, and Physics 12. These government-administered exams may be considered “high stakes” in that they counted for 40% of a student’s mark, were used in part to determine post-secondary admissions and scholarships, and the publicly-available exam results were used in highly publicized school “ranking” systems. A large volume of research literature suggests high stakes exams of this nature dictate the manner in which courses are delivered as teachers feel obliged to “teach to the test” in order to maximize the grades students receive on these exams. A major gap in the literature appears to be an examination of the effects on teacher behaviours and practices when a long-standing high-stakes testing program is eliminated. The decision made by the British Columbia Ministry of Education to remove provincial exams in secondary science at the Grade 12 level in August of 2011 created a unique and original opportunity to examine teacher pedagogical practices following the removal of subject-specific exams. Specifically, the question considered in this investigation centred upon the effect(s) the elimination of provincial exams in Biology 12, Chemistry 12, and Physics 12 had on the pedagogy and work environment of teachers in one British Columbia school district. This investigation followed case study methodology. The primary source of data was interviews with teachers who had experience teaching the three aforementioned courses in both the time of mandatory exams and following exam elimination. Interviews were semi-structured and focussed on the effects of the removal of Grade 12 exams on teacher pedagogy and general practices, classroom resource and time allocation, relations with colleagues, perceived student responses to courses, and exam data usage. The findings from this research suggest that, contrary to popular discourse, exam-generated data is not a valuable pedagogical resource for teachers and a high-stakes exam is not required to ensure full curricular coverage by teachers. In fact, the results suggest the opposite: curricular coverage is enhanced in the absence of a high-stakes exam. Further, not having to spend classroom and external time preparing students for exams has allowed teachers to implement and explore a greater diversity of pedagogical avenues not utilized during the time of exams. Teachers also spoke of reduced pressures in the absence of an exam. Finally, findings of this investigation suggest the presence of an exam greatly affected the way teachers both assessed and motivated students, effects that continue to have repercussions following elimination of provincial exams.

Abstract:

By examining the Minimalist ethos, joint and junctures and light, it is my intention to propose that Minimalist architecture easily and naturally accommodates the environmental ethos of reducing, reusing, recycling and recovering. More over, Minimalism, which draws widespread admiration as all good architecture does, allows us to graft inspiration and inherent environmental queues onto the ever-expanding yet distinct branch of green architecture. Producing a possible hybrid that initiates a new type of architectural discourse, one that moves beyond contemporary convention into the future reality of conservation. I present to you the UBC School of Journalism. Although, this building presently exists, I chose to design and develop the School of Journalism on the basis of green architecture, which means designing with nature in an environmentally responsible way.

Abstract:

Theories of anti-oppressive social work address social inequity through social justice perspectives. Recent literature in disability studies and social justice has not been extensively included in social work debate. I locate my research in between these two literatures. I examine how women with disabilities are portrayed in texts used in training undergraduate anti-oppressive social workers. I use an experience-based understanding of knowledge as a feminist social worker and a woman with a disability. The analysis of three texts shows that these particular depictions are wide-ranging though dated, and can unfortunately be mistaken as singularly definitive of all women with disabilities.
