Book Synopsis Digital Literacies by : Colin Lankshear
Download or read book Digital Literacies written by Colin Lankshear and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a group of internationally-reputed authors in the field of digital literacy. Their essays explore a diverse range of the concepts, policies and practices of digital literacy, and discuss how digital literacy is related to similar ideas: information literacy, computer literacy, media literacy, functional literacy and digital competence. It is argued that in light of this diversity and complexity, it is useful to think of digital literacies - the plural as well the singular. The first part of the book presents a rich mix of conceptual and policy perspectives; in the second part contributors explore social practices of digital remixing, blogging, online trading and social networking, and consider some legal issues associated with digital media.
Book Synopsis Successful Educational Actions for Inclusion and Social Cohesion in Europe by : Ramon Flecha (Ed.)
Download or read book Successful Educational Actions for Inclusion and Social Cohesion in Europe written by Ramon Flecha (Ed.) and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph analyses and describes successful educational actions with a specific focus on vulnerable groups (i.e. youth, migrants, cultural groups e.g. Roma, women, and people with disabilities). Concrete data that shows success in school performance in subject matters such as math or language will be provided, as well as children, teachers and families accounts of the impact of this success. Alongside, there is an analysis of the relationship between these children’s educational performance with their inclusion or exclusion from different areas of society (i.e. housing, health, employment, and social and political participation). Many studies have already diagnosed and described the causes of educational and social exclusion of these vulnerable groups. This monograph, however, provides solutions, that is, actions for success identified through the INCLUD-ED project, thus providing both, contrasted data and solid theoretical background and development. Some examples of these actions are interactive groups (or heterogeneous grouping in the classroom with reorganisation of human resources), extension of the learning time, homework clubs, tutored libraries, family and community educative participation, family education, or dialogic literary gatherings. All these actions have been defined as successful educational actions, which mean that they lead to both efficiency and equity. Finally, recommendations for policy and practice are included and discussed.

Book Synopsis The Academic Achievement Gap Between African American and White Students by : LaMonica Lanell Herron-McCoy

This book was released on 2009 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the academic achievement gap between upper elementary African American and White students. This study sought to assess any relationships between whether academic reading, students attitudes toward reading, and academic intrinsic motivation related to ethnicity. This study also sought to assess whether differences in reading achievement, attitudes, and intrinsic motivation varied by ethnicity, gender, or SES. Participants in the study were students enrolled in grades 4 through 6 in a rural West AL school district. Students with parental consent participated by completing the Children's Academic Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (Gottfried, 1990) to assess motivation and the Elementary Reading Attitude Survey (McKenna & Kear, 1990) to assess reading attitudes. Scores from the SAT 10 and Dibels were also utilized to assess reading achievement. Results indicated that based upon the population observed that SES is an outstanding variable in this study. In addition to research suggesting evidence that SES is a major correlate of the achievement gap, the focus turned towards a specific aspect of SES which is wealth. Children from wealthy families acquire more experiences through provisions of social and cultural capital which may be supportive in explaining the disparities between African American and White students in academics, including reading achievement and intrinsic motivation.

Book Synopsis Reading Aloud to Middle School Students to Improve Their Attitudes about Reading by : Caroline Lyman
Download or read book Reading Aloud to Middle School Students to Improve Their Attitudes about Reading written by Caroline Lyman and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading aloud is a strategy that has been utilized by elementary and primary grade teachers for years and continues to be used today with young children. Research supports the use of such a strategy to help young potential readers develop a love for the spoken and written word. However, there is very little research to support the use of reading aloud strategies with older students. This study investigated widely held views about middle school students' attitudes toward reading and about how the use of the read aloud strategy using picture books could benefit older students. In this study three research questions were posed: (1) Does reading aloud from picture books to middle school students in grades six to eight enhance students' attitudes about reading? (2) Will teachers give comments that are either positive or negative about their read aloud experiences in this study? (3) Will teachers also give any comments that might impact the standard instructional methodology employed in this study? The population for this study consisted of middle school students from two local area middle schools in a large urban school district. The instruments used to attain the students' attitude scores were the Rhody Secondary Reading Attitude Assessment and the Teale-Lewis Reading Attitude Scale along with teacher logs. The reading attitude scores were analyzed using pre- and post-test data to determine if attitudes improved after the read aloud treatment. Teachers completed a weekly log to chart their experience with the read aloud process. Additionally, teachers gave comments or suggestions concerning the overall process at the end of the study. This study led to several major findings. Most tests showed no statistical differences in pre- and post-test means. However, two schools, School B, Grade 6 and School A, Grade 7 had significant differences in students' attitudes toward reading following the read aloud intervention. Qualitative findings, however, showed that students in all grades and at all schools ended with positive attitudes toward reading following the read aloud intervention at the two middle schools involved in this study. Moreover, teachers in this study indicated that the read aloud process worked for students and it helped them to understand reading material and concepts. Additionally, teachers gave positive suggestions for better implementation of the read aloud process. Teachers stated that the use of technology (i.e., smart boards) would enhance the read aloud process. Teachers also stated that a greater balance in content of interest to males versus females would also enhance the read aloud process. Overall, teachers expressed positive attitudes about the read aloud process. A recommendation for further study is to extend the read aloud process longer than twelve weeks. That is, the process should last an entire school year. A second recommendation is to monitor students' academic achievement in relation to reading comprehension based on the read aloud process. A third recommendation is the use of technology with the read aloud process to increase the involvement of students in all types of stories for both males and females.

Book Synopsis Reading Achievement and Motivation in Boys and Girls by : Pelusa Orellana García
Download or read book Reading Achievement and Motivation in Boys and Girls written by Pelusa Orellana García and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume links theoretical and instructional approaches on how reading is motivated and assessed, and examines the interrelationship between reading motivation and achievement among boys and girls in culturally and geographically different settings. Much of the research on children’s reading has focused on cognitive processes; however, reading is an activity that also requires interest and motivation. These attitudes are generally defined as readers’ affect toward reading and their consequence is that children with more positive attitudes are more motivated to read. Taking into account the variability that exists within the notion of gender and age, this volume aims to examine and scrutinize previous research on the topic, as well as test theories on how the different dimensions of reading motivation vary with gender, in relation to cultural issues, motivational constructs, such as engagement and classroom climate, the role of emotions, interests and attitudes towards reading, among others. The book will be of interest to researchers, educators, graduate students, and other professionals working in the area of literacy, reading motivation, reading achievement and gender differences.
Book Synopsis The Fourth Grade Slump by : Nicole Donaldson Yoder
Download or read book The Fourth Grade Slump written by Nicole Donaldson Yoder and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the fourth grade slump with regard to the relationship between reading attitude and reading frequency in elementary school children. The Elementary Reading Attitude Scale and the Frequency Questionnaire were administered to two classes of second graders and two classes of fifth graders in the same school. The results were divided into the categories of academic and recreational reading for attitude and frequency. This paper presents the results of the study, as well as the implications for elementary school teachers. Once the surveys had been scored, a correlation was found between overall reading attitude and overall reading frequency, as well as between recreational reading attitude and recreational reading frequency. Surprisingly, the reading attitudes of the students did not drop significantly between second and fifth grade. The implications of this study are that the reading attitudes and frequency of students are connected and one can be improved by increasing the other. This means that teachers should be aware of these two reading elements and how one can positively impact the other.

Book Synopsis Examining Reading Attitudes, Home Literacy Environment, and Reading Performance of Third- and Fourth-grade Latina/o Students by : Adrian Tlatenchi (Graduate student)
Download or read book Examining Reading Attitudes, Home Literacy Environment, and Reading Performance of Third- and Fourth-grade Latina/o Students written by Adrian Tlatenchi (Graduate student) and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This quantitative study examined the relationship between third- and fourth-grade Latina/o students’ reading attitudes, home literacy environment, and reading performance. The current study sought to add to the growing literature on the impact affective variables, such as reading attitudes and home literacy environment, have on culturally and linguistically diverse student groups. Participants of the study were recruited from an urban elementary school in Southern California. Findings indicate Latina/o student participants held overall negative attitudes toward reading and reading attitudes were found to be a better predictor of student reading performance across grade level than the measure of home literacy environment. Overall, measures of reading attitude and home literacy environment appear to be valuable tools in providing additional insight as to why a student may be struggling in their reading performance. Limitations and areas for future research are discussed.
