Taking Charge: Second Graders Negotiate Ownership Of Their Expressive Writing, Susan Douglas Fleming
Taking Charge: Second Graders Negotiate Ownership Of Their Expressive Writing, Susan Douglas Fleming
Educational Studies Dissertations
This ethnographic study of a single, second grade, public school classroom explores students' ownership of their writing as they negotiate their dual roles of active writer and compliant student.
Writing process advocates such as Calkins (1987), Graves (1983), and Murray (1968, 1985) stress the need for student writers to assume ownership of their work by writing from personal experience and by making the decisions governing direction of the text. This involvement encourages awareness of self as learner and as person, and stimulates cognitive and identity development. Robert Brooke (1991), in a study of college students, points out that the power …
Theory And Practice On Training And Professional Development In Adult And Continuing Education, John A. Henschke Edd
Theory And Practice On Training And Professional Development In Adult And Continuing Education, John A. Henschke Edd
IACE Hall of Fame Repository
Theory and practice in the curriculum for preparation of educators of adults have seldom been addressed in the same places or time frames. Much less, there have been few attempts to bring theory and practice together in any coherent way.

However, comments of satisfaction with the current situation may prompt one to suggest that theory and practice relationship will not be resolved, …
Public Understanding Of Science: Science Literacy And Its Implications For Effective Public Policy Formulation, Sara C. Hickox
Public Understanding Of Science: Science Literacy And Its Implications For Effective Public Policy Formulation, Sara C. Hickox
Theses and Major Papers

Further, this paper addresses the increasingly important role of formal and non-formal …
Antihomophobic Pedagogy: Some Suggestions For Teachers, Ian Barnard
Antihomophobic Pedagogy: Some Suggestions For Teachers, Ian Barnard
English Faculty Articles and Research
Too often as teachers we feel that we are doing the right thing by assigning our students "open-ended" essay topics or by inviting students to argue "both" sides of a controversial current event. The ideologies and institutions of liberal pluralism tell us that this is the way to promote "free speech," "democratic" argument, etc. But these kinds of topics and discussions have the effect of privileging dominant power relations and of further silencing our queer students. For example, if we ask our students to debate whether homosexuality is "wrong" or not, we are expecting our queer students to justify their …
