Digital Storytelling In Bhutan: A Qualitative Examination Of New Media Tools Used To Bridge The Digital Divide In A Rural Community School, Khendum Gyabak, Heriberto Godina Phd
Heriberto Godina PhD
This qualitative study examines the use of digital storytelling as an instructional intervention for bridging the digital divide among public school students in rural Bhutan. Primary participants for the study included elementary school children who had never been previously exposed to computer technology and were recipients of a donated classroom set of laptops. Results demonstrated how technology instruction and infrastructure inherently positions ethical and cultural differences between researchers, education personnel, school children and their families.

Korean American Cultural Differences In Classroom Literacy Activities: Observations From An Ethnographic Case Study., Heriberto Godina Phd, Jeonghee Choi Phd
Heriberto Godina PhD
This study explores teacher-student perceptions about cultural differences and their influence upon classroom literacy activities. An ethnographic case method focuses on a Korean American student. Secondary participants include a parent, teacher, and classmates in a white Midwestern community. The study accentuates the generalizable discourse that neglects the complexity inherent to intercultural relationships in a changing elementary classroom. Implications include how multicultural children’s literature deemed appropriate for minorities can be problematically situated for effective instruction.

Mesocentrism And Students Of Mexican Background: A Community Intervention For Culturally Relevant Instruction, Heriberto Godina Phd
Heriberto Godina PhD
How does the integration of information about a student's ancestral culture elicit a more positive motivation for their learning in school?

A pre- and post-survey measured cultural awareness, desire, effect, reading preference, self-esteem, and self-concept. Informal student narratives were used to interpret treatment effects. Results indicated that the intervention enhanced students' sense of cultural awareness and voluntary reading preferences. Implication for the study include how culturally relevant instruction can be a valuable stepping stone …

Cultural Influences And Reflective Practice: A Chicano Perspective, Heriberto Godina Phd
Heriberto Godina PhD
This review of research examines improving educational curriculum through reflective practice influenced by minority culture. Examples of Chicano and indigenous culture are cited. The implications of a poorly educated and growing minority group population indicate the need for reflective awareness in curriculum and challenges the established policies imposed by the majority culture. Reflective qualitative research, and holistic education is perceived to be a viable solution to the inadequate curriculum imposed upon minority culture.
