The purpose of this study was to investigate instructor participation in asynchronous discussions through an in-depth content analysis of instructors' postings and comments through the Community of Inquiry (COI) framework (Garrison et. al, 2001). We developed an analytical tool based on this framework in order to better understand what instructors were saying in discussions. We found instructors relied heavily on social codes and were less likely to employ cognitive codes, that there was a variance in the types of discursive interactions as indicated by different discursive profiles, and that students tended to favor instructors who balanced their comments across the three elements of the framework. We believe engaging in this type of analysis can help us become more effective online instructors and provide a next step for research investigating relationships between comments supporting the COI framework and student participation. "The purpose of online discussions is to talk! If we didn't discuss, it would be a self-taught class"
This qualitative study uses an analysis of literature circle discussions to illuminate larger issues of gender and social class for a group of fifth-grade students. By examining how four students were positioned and positioned themselves within these literature conversations, I demonstrate that the roles reproduced certain gender-and class-specific storylines. These storylines served to empower the girls' literacy development, while simultaneously disempowering the literacy development of the boys. I draw upon positioning (Davies & Harre, 1990), voicing (Bakhtin, 1986, and power (Foucault, 1977) as lenses to analyze the students' discussions of literature. I then connect these discussions to larger cultural storylines in order to demonstrate the connection between these small literature circles and greater gender and social class influences.
Many teachers want to incorporate critical literacy into their instruction but are unsure of where to start. In this article, the authors pair Jones's (2006) three tenets of critical literacy (deconstruction, reconstruction, and social action) with books that highlight multiple perspectives. By combining this critical literacy framework with multiple‐perspectives texts, the authors share with readers some practical strategies at each stage that can be used in any elementary‐ or middle‐level classrooms. These suggestions provide an entry point for teachers who want to engage in critical literacy in their own teaching. يود كثير من المعلمين أن يدمجوا التعلم النقدي في تعليمهم لكنهم لا يدرون أين يبدؤون. وفي هذه المقالة يجمع المؤلفون مكونات جونز (2006) الثلاث بالنسبة للتعلم النقدي ((التجريد وإعادة البناء والحركة الاجتماعية)) مع كتب تبين فيها وجهات نظر مختلفة. يصف المؤلفون للقراء بعض الإستراتيجيات الوظيفية في كل مرحلة وبإمكانها أن تُستخدَم في أي صف أي إن كان في الابتدائية أو الإعدادية بواسطة جمع هذا الإطار من التعلم النقدي مع النصوص ذات وجهات النظر المختلفة. إذ الاقتراحات الموجودة في المقالة توفر نقطة الدخول للمعلمين الذين يودون إدماج التعلم النقدي في منهاجهم. 许多教师都想把批判式读写文化结合在他们的教学里,可是却不知从哪里开始。在本文中,作者把Jones(2006)所提出有关批判式读写文化的三项原则(解构、再建构和社会行动)与那些凸显多重观点的书籍作出比对。本文作者通过结合批判式读写文化和多重观点之文本,与读者分享适用于中、小学阶段任何年级的实用课堂教学策略。这些建议提供一个切入点给予想把批判式读写文化结合在课堂教学里的教师。 Beaucoup de professeurs désirent incorporer la littératie critique dans leur enseignement mais ne savent par où commencer.
