Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most studies of so-called struggling readers and at-risk students talk about students but few account for students' perspectives on their own learning as part of the research design. In this year-long qualitative study of two different ninth-grade literacy intervention classes in two secondary schools in California, I incorporated students' perspectives into a larger study that examined how the two intervention models served students during their first year of high school. At the core of this study is the theoretical concept of re-mediation, a morphological derivation of mediation (Cole, 1996: Cole & Griffin, 1983), which provides an alternative to the deficit-oriented approach of remediation, a morphological derivation of remedy. This theoretical perspective allowed me to study intervention settings by focusing on activity systems and how they shape students' learning rather than focusing on remediating individual student deficits. I argue that an advantage of examining interventions from students' perspectives, as these perspectives emerged through the triangulation of multiple data sources, is that they provide a way to privilege students' personal histories and identities at this critical juncture in their academic careers. I combined interviews with focal students, teachers, parents, and administrators with surveys of a larger population of students, and incorporated classroom observations and samples of student work in order to gain the broadest possible understanding of the institutional and pedagogical conditions under which teachers and students operated in the two classrooms. More specifically, I sought to understand how those conditions, combined with students' understandings of literacy and learning and their own academic identities, shaped and were shaped by the teaching and learning activities that occurred in the two classrooms. In my analysis, I paid particular attention to the teachers' and students' understandings of the objectives of the classes and how those perspectives shaped the reading and learning activities that occurred in them. One of the central findings of this study is that the two literacy classes, Enhanced Reading and Reading Workshop, re-mediated students' reading in different ways. The objective of Enhanced Reading was to encourage students to read more in order to become better, more informed, readers, students, and people; the objective of Reading Workshop was to help students gain control over a series of strategies that they could use to be more effective readers who would do better in school and on tests. These objectives led to different outcomes, with students in Enhanced Reading becoming more personally engaged with the act of reading high-interest texts and students in Reading Workshop becoming more strategic in how they approached texts similar to those they might encounter in school. Other findings from this study reveal how the larger institutional and pedagogical contexts in which the two classrooms operated had a profound impact on what re-mediation looked like in the two spaces. At the same time, the findings indicate that students themselves had an equally important impact on teaching and learning activities in their classrooms. Perhaps the most compelling finding is that the success of the two approaches to re-mediation varied for individual students in light of their personal histories and identities as readers and as students. The findings from this study have theoretical, empirical, and practical implications. At a theoretical level, they highlight the need to incorporate a theory of identity into future theorizations and applications of re-mediation in order to account for the ways in which re-mediation influences a subject's relationship to his or her environment at the same time that it changes the nature of the activity. At empirical and practical levels, the findings demonstrate the value of attending to the larger contexts in which teaching and learning interactions occur and the multiple factors that mediate literacy and learning in classrooms. Finally, the findings from this study are a challenge to teachers and researchers alike to take seriously the longer-term outcomes of what we teach and study and to take into account the symbiotic relationship between activities and identities and how each informs and shapes the other. Looking across the two classrooms, it was evident that neither ambitious instruction nor authentic activity could accomplish separately what the two might accomplish together if treated as symbiotic rather than separate enterprises.

Download or read book Remediation written by Jay David Bolter and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1999 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new framework for considering how all media constantly borrow from and refashion other media. Media critics remain captivated by the modernist myth of the new: they assume that digital technologies such as the World Wide Web, virtual reality, and computer graphics must divorce themselves from earlier media for a new set of aesthetic and cultural principles. In this richly illustrated study, Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin offer a theory of mediation for our digital age that challenges this assumption. They argue that new visual media achieve their cultural significance precisely by paying homage to, rivaling, and refashioning such earlier media as perspective painting, photography, film, and television. They call this process of refashioning "remediation," and they note that earlier media have also refashioned one another: photography remediated painting, film remediated stage production and photography, and television remediated film, vaudeville, and radio.

Guidelines are provided for adapting motivational principles to group and individual differences and for doing "repair work" with students who have become discouraged or disaffected learners.
Download or read book New Perspectives on Material Mediation in Language Learner Pedagogy written by Darren K. LaScotte and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume distinguishes itself from existing research on materials design, development, and evaluation, and focuses on material mediation in actual processes of teaching and learning, a subject that has been under-researched in the field of applied linguistics and second language education. This edited volume includes diverse perspectives on the roles that materials play in language learner pedagogy. Moving beyond the field of English language teaching, readers will find novel contributions offering a diversity of language teaching contexts, learner populations, and topics in the theory and/or practice of second and foreign language teaching. Chapters explore the ways in which affordances and constraints of classroom materials impact teachers and learners, while at the same time they bring their own (evolving) resources, identities, beliefs, and expertise to modify and adapt the materials to better suit their local language teaching and learning environments. As such, this text is ideal for use as supplemental reading in a wide variety of applied linguistics, second/foreign language education, TESOL, and instructional course design courses.

Download or read book The Promise of Mediation written by Robert A. Baruch Bush and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2004-10-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning first edition of The Promise of Mediation, published ten years ago, is a landmark classic that changed the field's understanding of the theory and practice of conflict intervention. That volume first articulated the "transformative model" of mediation, which greatly humanized the vision of how the mediation process could help parties in conflict. In the past decade, the transformative model has proved itself and gained increasing acceptance. It is now being used in such diverse arenas as workplace, community, family, organizational, and public policy conflicts, among others. In this new edition, the authors draw on a decade of work in theory development, training, practice, research, and assessment to present a thoroughly revised and updated account of the transformative model of mediation and its practical application, including a compelling description of how the field has moved toward increasing acceptance of the transformative model a new and clearer presentation of the theory and practices of transformative mediation, with many concrete examples a new case study that provides a vivid picture of the model in practice, with a commentary full of new information about how to use it effectively clarifications of common misconceptions about the model a vision for the future that shows how the model can coexist with other approaches and where the "market" for transformative mediation is emerging This volume is a foundational resource on transformative practice, for both readers of the first edition and new readers - including mediators, facilitators, lawyers, administrators, human resource professionals, policymakers, and conflict resolution researchers and educators. More generally, this book will strike a chord with anyone interested in humanizing our social institutions and building on a relational vision of society.
