How Can We Study Children’s/Youth’s Out of School Experiences to Inform Classroom Practices?

Abstract

<jats:p> The collection of papers represented in the Integrative Research Review responds to the question: How can we study children’s/youth’s out of school experiences to inform classroom practices? Using a variety of lenses to address the question, the authors consider how to understand, respond to, and serve children and youth in a variety of contexts. Duke explores a quasi-experimental design showing the potential impact on student achievement and motivation in schools that incorporate literacy practices from children’s lives outside of school compared to the traditional curriculum. Bloome and Faust take a philosophical approach to explore the languaging of the relationship between students’ out-of-school lives and classroom practices and its implications for the construction of personhood by examining one classroom event from a microethnographic discourse analysis perspective. García-Sánchez highlights the methodological features that allow linguistic anthropologists to make visible the agentive and innovative character of immigrant children’s communicative practices in a variety of learning situations. Drawing on the transliteracies approach, Stornaiuolo considers work with a group of young people to study multimodal composing and the development of school makerspaces in a 6-year partnership project with a local innovation high school. Alvermann discusses the papers, pointing out the affordances and challenges of each perspective. </jats:p>

Les processus d’écriture du point de vue de deux adolescents autistes

“…Les données ont été collectées entre les mois de janvier et de juillet 2018. Comme d'autres recherches s'intéressant à l'usage de l'écriture, une approche méthodologique ethnographique (McCarthey et al, 2020;Street, 2012;Street et May, 2017) a été utilisée. Cette approche permet une coconstruction des connaissances au travers des situations partagées entre les participants et le chercheur (Laplantine, 2005).…”

Productivity Versus Sustainability: A Tale of Two Authors’ Engagement in Participatory Culture

“…Stornaiuolo (2019) identified this question as a long-standing one for scholars exploring young people's use of digital technologies. Alvermann, the discussant, determined the short answer was “it takes a village of researchers applying their chosen paradigms, methodologies, and analytic write-up strategies to address a single question” (McCarthey et al, 2020, p. 73).…”
