Sobre poesia visual: aprenent a llegir davant les líniesMasgrau Juanola, Mariona 27 April 2011 (has links)
This research examines the nature of visual poetry and its educational potential in the processes of teaching and learning reading and writing in primary education. The first part looks into the internal and external logic of visual poetry, its cultural, historical and technical characteristics, and a knowledge goal is provisionally defined, which is then analyzed as a teaching and learning goal. It reviews the historicist approaches to visual poetry; it examines the definitions that have been established especially regarding its intermedia nature, and also the most interesting definitions that have been made by visual poets themselves. Following on from this, there is a historical overview of this poetic form, focusing mainly on the Western European tradition and on Catalonia from the twentieth century onwards.
The second part of the thesis is the empirical research that justifies, applies and interprets the description and analysis of a didactic sequence of a teacher in a classroom in year two of primary education within the methodological and theoretical framework of contemporary research on specific didactics. Above all, it uses the theoretical foundations of comparative didactics and clinical methodologies.
Based on close and participatory observation and an all-encompassing analysis of educational action, some interpretations are compared with the overall framework of knowledge of language and literature didactic. Hence the intrinsic cultural value of visual poetry is claimed as a catalyst to encourage the improvement of the reading and writing skills itself, while this teaching goal also serves as a pretext to consider and purpose new ways of teaching and learning reading and writing, in a richer and more complex way, especially in the field of critical literacy, creativity and intermediality / Aquesta investigació es planteja la naturalesa de la poesia visual i el seu potencial didàctic en els processos d’ensenyament-aprenentatge de la lectura i l’escriptura a Educació Primària. La primera part investiga la lògica interna i externa de la poesia visual, els seus trets culturals, històrics i tècnics i es delimita provisionalment un objecte de saber, el qual a continuació s’analitza com a objecte a ensenyar i objecte ensenyat. Es revisen les aproximacions històriques a la poesia visual; s’examinen les definicions que s’han fixat sobretot en el seu caràcter intermedial i també les definicions més interessants que n’han fet els mateixos poetes visuals. A continuació es fa una síntesi històrica d’aquesta forma poètica, centrant-se sobretot en la tradició europea occidental i, a partir del segle xx, a Catalunya. La segona part o recerca empírica justifica, aplica, i interpreta la descripció i anàlisi d'una seqüència didàctica d'una mestra en una aula de cicle inicial d’Educació Primària, dins del marc metodològic i teòric de les investigacions contemporànies en didàctiques específiques, servint-se sobretot dels fonaments teòrics de les didàctiques comparades i les metodologies clíniques. A partir de l'observació atenta i l’anàlisi global de l'acció didàctica, se n’extreuen unes interpretacions que es confronten amb el marc global del saber de les didàctiques de la llengua i la literatura. Així, es reivindica el valor cultural intrínsec de la poesia visual com a revulsiu per fomentar la lectura i l’expressió escrita per se però alhora aquest objecte d’ensenyament serveix de pretext per reflexionar i proposar noves formes d’ensenyar i aprendre la lectura i l’escriptura de forma més rica i complexa, sobretot en l'àmbit de la literacitat crítica, la creativitat i la intermedialitat. / Bei dieser Untersuchung wird die Frage über die visuelle Poesie und deren
didaktischem Potential bei den Bildungs- und Lernprozessen beim Lesen und
Schreiben in der Grundschule aufgeworfen, die diese Fähigkeiten in ihrem gesamten
Umfang zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts nach sich ziehen.

Social identities and psycho-social needs in adolescents’ health literate practicesCimon, Mimi 15 December 2009 (has links)
Adolescent perspectives on health and the social and literate values of their health related behaviours require exploration and examination in health literacy, as knowledge gaps related to the constituents of health literate practices, and the functions and acquisition of health literacy exist in the literature. Research addressing this was approached based on socio-cultural and socio-ecological principles using a collective instrumental case design. Participants were new adolescent mother aged 15-18 recruited from 4 different community/education programs around Victoria, BC. Data was collected over a four month period, and consisted of individual and focus group interviews, journals, and researchers’ observations and field notes. Findings show that participants’ health behaviours changed significantly in tandem with their identities, the groups they associated with, and the social contexts they moved within. Findings indicate that identity, informal social environments, and unconscious cognitive process and psychosocial needs play a role in adolescents health literacy and literate practices.

Combating the Matthew effect for English language learners : making thinking visible in the secondary English classroomWestbrook, Joanna Tonita 03 1900 (has links)
This study sets out to answer the call for explicit instruction in critical thinking for ELL.
Using action research and qualitative methodology, I examine the effect of implementing the
cognitive apprenticeship paradigm with ELL studying in a mainstream secondary English class
using the American curriculum. I center instruction on authentic texts and scaffold critical
literacy and thinking tasks for instructional interventions. The data generated by the study
includes written responses and reflections by the participants. This data is analyzed using
research into cognitive theory and critical thinking pedagogy. The results support the cognitive
apprenticehip model as one means for improving the higher literacy of ELL, regardless of level
and background. The findings of this study contribute to the discussion of how to bridge the
achievement gap between ELL and their native speaking peers and provide an avenue to advance
their academic success. / English Studies / M.A. (with specialisation in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of other languages))

The Goal of Literacy Teaching - to Complete School or to Make a Change? A Critical Analysis of Literacy Teaching in Multilingual Classrooms in South AfricaKrstic, Nicole, Nilsson, Nikki January 2018 (has links)
This qualitative minor field study is conducted in a multilingual public secondary school in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The aim is to analyse the literacy teaching from a critical literacy point of view and to gain new perspectives on how to work with literacy in multilingual classrooms in Sweden. The material was collected over approximately three weeks and consists of participant observations and two semi-structured group interviews with nine learners in total. The theoretical approach derives from a socio-cultural orientation and focuses on how unequal power relations are represented in language. Our results indicate a focus on individual learning of cognitive skills, for example, answering pre-written questions to a text in the work with reading comprehension. Furthermore, reading is considered important to be able to influence one’s own life and to connect with the surrounding society, as is good knowledge of English, which in turn is developed by reading. English is the language the learners are most used to use in school related activities and the language they feel confident to read in. In addition, the results show social, critical and transformative aspects of literacy. The teachers want to make use of the learners’ experiences in the teaching. Moreover, this goal is occasionally connected to a desire to empower the learners with agency to act for change. However, this desire is limited by the curriculum since it is forcing the teachers to teach at a certain pace. These results are then analysed by the use of Hilary Janks’ interdependent model for critical literacy by considering the consequences of focusing on any of its four parts – power, access, diversity and design – without any one of the others. We conclude that it is a challenge to design teaching that does not separate, but include cognitive, social, critical and transforming aspects of literacy in Sweden as well. Janks’ model can be used to design a teaching that includes these aspects to a greater extent and thereby create a more inclusive multilingual learning environment. Finally, we suggest that theories about critical literacy should be added to both teacher education and to the steering documents.

A Holistic Approach to the Ontario Curriculum: Moving to a More Coherent CurriculumNeves, Ana Cristina Trindade 14 December 2009 (has links)
This study is an interpretive form of qualitative research that is founded in educational connoisseurship and criticism, which uses the author’s personal experiences as a holistic educator in a public school to connect theory and practice. Key research questions include: How do I, as a teacher, work with the Ontario curriculum to make it more holistic? What strategies have I developed in order to teach a more holistic curriculum? What kinds of difficulties interfere with my practice as I attempt to implement my holistic philosophy of education? This dissertation seeks to articulate a methodology for developing holistic curriculum that is in conformity with Ontario Ministry guidelines and is also responsive to the multifaceted needs of the whole student. The research findings will serve to inform teachers who wish to engage in holistic education in public schools and adopt a curriculum that is transformative while still being adaptable within mainstream education.

A Pedagogy of Holistic Media Literacy: Reflections on Culture Jamming as Transformative Learning and HealingStasko, Carly 14 December 2009 (has links)
This qualitative study uses narrative inquiry (Connelly & Clandinin, 1988, 1990, 2001) and self-study to investigate ways to further understand and facilitate the integration of holistic philosophies of education with media literacy pedagogies. As founder and director of the Youth Media Literacy Project and a self-titled Imagitator (one who agitates imagination), I have spent over 10 years teaching media literacy in various high schools, universities, and community centres across North America. This study will focus on my own personal practical knowledge (Connelly & Clandinin, 1982) as a culture jammer, educator and cancer survivor to illustrate my original vision of a ‘holistic media literacy pedagogy’. This research reflects on the emergence and impact of holistic media literacy in my personal and professional life and also draws from relevant interdisciplinary literature to challenge and synthesize current insights and theories of media literacy, holistic education and culture jamming.
