Culturally Responsive Classroom Libraries In Middle School And High School English Language Arts Classrooms, Brandy Coleman
Culturally Responsive Classroom Libraries In Middle School And High School English Language Arts Classrooms, Brandy Coleman
Culminating Experience Projects
Research shows that the cultural makeup of students in classrooms today in the United States has changed from classrooms of the past. These changes demand teachers to create classroom libraries that are culturally responsive. Culturally responsive classroom libraries can increase student engagement, shape students’ reading identities, and provide opportunities for students to create meaning with a text. This project examines what research literature has studied regarding how culturally responsive pedagogy impacts student identities, engagement through choice, books as window, mirrors, and sliding glass doors (Bishop, 1990), and instructional practices. Using reader response theory, the project focuses on tools to identify …

Information Literacy In A Post-Truth Era, Catherine Baird, Jonathan Howell
Information Literacy In A Post-Truth Era, Catherine Baird, Jonathan Howell
Sprague Library Scholarship and Creative Works
The founders of American democracy believed it could not survive without an “informed citizenry”. What does an informed citizenry look like in today’s world? And what role do we have as educators and students to support it?
First, we look at the significant challenges to institutional and media legitimacy that emerged in the second half of the 20th century, which rightfully called attention to the ways longstanding Western knowledge practices excluded marginalized communities and silenced important histories. We ask about the status of norms and mores in the aftermath of this challenge, in an era often called “post-truth.”
Second, we …

Building And Using Digital Libraries For Etds, Edward A. Fox
Building And Using Digital Libraries For Etds, Edward A. Fox
The Journal of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Despite the high value of electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), the global collection has seen limited use. To extend such use, a new approach to building digital libraries (DLs) is needed. Fortunately, recent decades have seen that a vast amount of “gray literature” has become available through a diverse set of institutional repositories as well as regional and national libraries and archives. Most of the works in those collections include ETDs and are often freely available in keeping with the open-access movement, but such access is limited by the services of supporting information systems. As explained through a set of …

Lectura En Crisis: La Importancia De La Experiencia De Lo Sensible, Pablo Álvarez F
Revista Electrónica Leer, Escribir y Descubrir
La lectura es una práctica que tiene mucho de sensorial, no solo por la decodificación de los signos, sino también por otros elementos asociados a la práctica que la enriquecen. Cuando se trata de libros dirigidos a niños y niñas, la experiencia de lectura se hace aún más sensitiva: las materialidades de las publicaciones, sus dimensiones, el tipo de papel, los elementos adicionales en sus tapas, la encuadernación, entre otros elementos, enriquecen la experiencia sensible de lectura. El aumento de las publicaciones digitales provocados por la reciente crisis sanitaria, y la tentación por digitalizarlo todo, ponen en juego estas experiencias …
