Engaging young children in literacy activities at home is one way for families to augment and enrich the home literacy setting
and to participate in their child’s education at an early age (St. Pierre et al. in Dev Psychol 41(6): 953–970, 2005). Burgess et al. (Read Res Quart 4(4): 408–426, 2002) suggested that the resources families have at their disposal, the quality of literacy role models provided by parents, and
the types of literacy and language activities in which parents and children engage, are all related to young children’s developing
literacy and language abilities. Other studies demonstrated that even modest literacy-promoting interventions can significantly
enhance a young child’s early literacy environment by increasing the frequency of parent–child book-sharing activities (Weitzman
et al. in Pediatrics 113(5):1248–1253, 2004). Dever (J Early Educ Fam Rev 8(4):17–28, 2001) and Dever and Burtis (Early Child Dev Care 172(4):359–370, 2002) emphasize the use of family literacy bags for early childhood development. Developing and sharing take-home literacy bags
is an exciting literacy-promoting activity that may be shared with children and families to provide support for emergent literacy.
This article explores the development of the BAGS (Books and Good Stuff) take-home literacy kits and provides suggestions
for content, construction, implementation, and evaluation. Sixteen current books are reviewed and recommended by theme. 相似文献

Today’s emphasis on using children’s literature as a tool to teach reading and writing sub-skills distracts teachers’ attention
from looking to children’s books for their historical role in helping children navigate the intellectual, social, and emotional
terrains of childhood. This article argues, first, that early childhood educators must remain fluent in the use of literature
that supports young children’s psychosocial development. Second, teachers must establish criteria for choice. By way of example,
it examines two popular books for young children, Sendak’s (1963) Where the Wild Things Are [New York: HarperCollins Publishers] and Shannon’s (1998) No, David! [New York: Blue Sky Press] Three theoretical perspectives guide the analysis. The first combines Dewey’s (1938/97) [Experience and education. New York:Touchstone] impetus for learning and Vygotsky’s (1978) [Mind in society. Cambridge: Harvard University Press] theory that learning precedes development through scaffolded social
interaction. The second is Erikson’s (1950, 1985) [Childhood and society. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.] theory of psychosocial development in light of the
4–6-year-old’s drive towards self-regulation, control, and independence. The third is Rosenblatt’s (1978) [The reader, the text, the poem. Urbana, IL: National Council of Teachers of English] transactional nature of reading. 相似文献

This is a design study meant to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating three rather different theoretical perspectives
for future efforts in multimedia instructional design. A multimedia instructional grammar program contextualized within the
teaching of English as a Second Language (ESL) was developed and evaluated. The program design was grounded in Mayer’s multimedia
learning theory (2001), Sweller’s cognitive load theory (CLT, 2005), and cognitive training theory using an inductive reasoning
paradigm (Klauer and Phye, Rev Educ Res 78(1):85–124, 2008). A successful integration of cognitive training theory into program design is expected to facilitate the transition of student’s
declarative knowledge of a grammar concept of passive voice to procedural knowledge (Phye, Contemp Educ Psychol 16:87–94,
1991; Phye et al., Empirical methods for evaluating educational interventions, Academic Press/Elsevier, San Diego, 2005). Two studies involving ten and four adult ESL learners were conducted in a Midwest community college. Grammar teaching occurred
within the context of history and geography of the USA. Students with low prior knowledge of passive voice grammar concepts,
intermediate level of general vocabulary, and adequate basic knowledge of content (basic geography and history) benefited
most from the program. Preliminary results are encouraging for the aforementioned integrative efforts. 相似文献

This study investigated the relationship between children’s ability to regulate emotions and display of appropriate behavior
in social settings. A sample of 33 children representing a wide range of social economic status was randomly selected from
a Head Start Program and an Early Childhood Development Center in the Midwest. Data were collected using the Emotion Regulation
Checklist (ERC) developed by Shields and Cicchetti (Dev Psychol 33:906–916, 1997, J Clin child Psychol, 27:231–395, 1998). A “Behavior Recording” checklist was developed and used to record appropriate and inappropriate behavior observed during
children social interactions. Teacher ratings identified children as generally high emotion regulators. Girls had generally
higher scores than boys in emotion regulation ability. A high relationship (r = .76) was also found between emotion regulation and display of appropriate behavior. Results indicate the importance of
emotions in relation to a child’s well being and academic achievement. Additionally, these findings suggest a need for parents
and early childhood educators to teach children appropriate emotional behavior when confronted with situations that are in
conflict with societal norms. 相似文献

Bullying in schools has been identified as a serious and complex worldwide problem associated with negative short- and long-term
effects on children’s psychosocial adjustment (Smith 1999; Ttofi and Farrington, Aggressive Behav 34(4):352–368, 2008). Entering kindergarten is a crucial developmental step in many children’s lives mainly because it is within this context
where they participate, for the first time, as members in a stable peer group and well-organized team activities. Consequently,
preschool may be the first context beyond the home environment where children’s difficulties in social interactions with peers
can be primarily detected and assessed by adults and professionals. This paper reviews recent empirical evidence over the
nature and different aspects of bullying among preschool children. Recent findings concerning the development of preschool
bullying and its prevalence, family and genetic factors, gender and age differences, participant and peripheral roles, school
context, methodological issues, and prevention policies are reviewed while directions for future research are addressed. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of a family-centered intervention that involved parents in weekly assessments and daily routine activities for promoting young children’s language and behavior. Forty-one 3–5-year-old children at-risk for language and behavior problems, recruited from three developmental pre-schools, were randomly assigned to a control and an intervention group that received parent–professional support. Analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs) were used to examine whether groups differed on post-test scores on the Test of Early Language Development—Third Edition and Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory, using pre-test scores as a covariate. Results showed that children in the intervention group outperformed children in the control group on both tests. The study indicated that family-centered intervention is an effective method for empowering parents to identify and implement concrete solutions to their children’s problems, especially when done as part of a professional collaboration. 相似文献

Understanding Imaginative Thinking During Childhood: Sociocultural Conceptions of Creativity and Imaginative Thought 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Understanding imagination as both a cognitive and affective endeavor is crucial in order for educators to promote creative
and imaginative thinking in informal and formal learning environments. It is the primary aim of this paper to develop the
theoretical discussion of Vygotsky’s writings on young children’s imaginative abilities launched by Gajdamaschko (Teach Educ
16(1):13–22, 2005) and Lindqvist (Res J 15(2&3):245–251, 2003). This paper illustrates Vygotsky’s writings on the cognitive
processes involved in children’s imagination and creativity and concludes with a discussion focused on the components of an
educational environment that can either support or stifle children’s imaginative abilities. It is through this continuing
discussion that, as researchers, we hope to extend and challenge current conceptions of the role of imaginative thinking in
early education. 相似文献

This study investigated the role of speech perception accuracy and speed in fluent word decoding of reading disabled (RD)
children. A same-different phoneme discrimination task with natural speech tested the perception of single consonants and
consonant clusters by young but persistent RD children. RD children were slower than chronological age (CA) controls in recognizing
identical sounds, suggesting less distinct phonemic categories. In addition, after controlling for phonetic similarity Tallal’s
(Brain Lang 9:182–198, 1980) fast transitions account of RD children’s speech perception problems was contrasted with Studdert-Kennedy’s (Read Writ Interdiscip
J 15:5–14, 2002) similarity explanation. Results showed no specific RD deficit in perceiving fast transitions. Both phonetic similarity and
fast transitions influenced accurate speech perception for RD children as well as CA controls. 相似文献

Telling and dramatizing stories is an increasingly popular addition to the preschool curriculum, largely due to the attention
this activity has received through the writings of Vivian Paley (Bad guys don’t have birthdays: fantasy play at four. The
University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1988; The boy who would be a helicopter: the uses of storytelling in the kindergarten. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA,
1990; A child’s work: the importance of fantasy play. The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 2004). While the writings of Paley and others (Cooper, When stories come to school: telling, writing, and performing stories in
the early childhood classroom. Teachers & Writers Collaborative, New York, 1993; Engel 1999) focus on the social and cognitive outcomes children experience as a result of storytelling, less has been written
about the process of writing and dramatizing stories with young children. This article discusses procedures and considerations
that enhance storytelling with preschool children, including effective prompts for encouraging children’s creativity, potential
trouble spots such as aggression in stories, and ways that storytelling can enhance home-school relationships. 相似文献

Life in the Hive: Supporting Inquiry into Complexity Within the Zone of Proximal Development 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Research into students’ understanding of complex systems typically ignores young children because of misinterpretations of
young children’s competencies. Furthermore, studies that do recognize young children’s competencies tend to focus on what
children can do in isolation. As an alternative, we propose an approach to designing for young children that is grounded in
the notion of the Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky 1978) and leverages Activity Theory to design learning environments. In order to highlight the benefits of this approach, we describe
our process for using Activity Theory to inform the design of new software and curricula in a way that is productive for young
children to learn concepts that we might have previously considered to be “developmentally inappropriate”. As an illuminative
example, we then present a discussion of the design of the BeeSign simulation software and accompanying curriculum which specifically
designed from an Activity Theory perspective to engage young children in learning about complex systems (Danish 2009a, b). Furthermore, to illustrate the benefits of this approach, we will present findings from a new study where 40 first- and
second-grade students participated in the BeeSign curriculum to learn about how honeybees collect nectar from a complex systems
perspective. We conclude with some practical suggestions for how such an approach to using Activity Theory for research and
design might be adopted by other science educators and designers. 相似文献

The American Civil War has been a popular topic for young-adult writers for years, with new books now being written from young
women’s perspectives. In this paper, I will examine the gender ideologies that infiltrate contemporary Civil War books for
young adults. I will examine four recent young-adult Civil-War novels: G. Clifton Wisler’s Mr. Lincoln’s Drummer (1995); Maureen Stack Sappéy’s Letters from Vinnie (1999); Jim Murphy’s The Journal of James Edmond Pease: A Civil War Union Soldier (1998); and Karen Hesse’s A Light in the Storm: The Civil War Diary of Amelia Martin (1999). I will argue that in these books young women are often shown to be disengaged and apolitical, while their male counterparts
use language in powerful and political ways, even despite the historical record.

Novels that prioritise the connectedness and strength of girls’ friendships without employing the pervasive trope of “mean
girls”—those who typically divide in order to conquer other girls—are potentially empowering in their refusal to perpetuate
limited and binary accounts of adolescent femininity. While Ann Brashares’ cult novel (now film), The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005a; originally 2002) appears to be representative of this textual shift, underpinning the overt call to value girls’ relationships
is a deeply conservative, assimilationist narrative that relies on an acceptance of traditional patriarchal values. This article
analyses the ways in which the novel appropriates “multicultural difference” to valorise, sustain and naturalise the central
position and authority of patriarchy in the lives of young girls, regardless of their cultural heritage.
Kate McInally currently works as a research fellow, and teaches children’s literature at Deakin University, Burwood, Australia.
Her particular research interests are feminist, queer and Deleuzean theory, representations of girl–girl desire in young adult
fiction, and multicultural children’s fiction. 相似文献

The first author, a student in a graduate children’s literature class, designed a project to locate “good” mathematics-based
children’s literature selections. However, the reference tools usually consulted (e.g., Books in Print) to locate books by topic were of little help, and those she located under individual mathematics topics were mostly traditional
mathematics books rather than good read-aloud selections. Consequently, she perused the university library’s sizeable juvenile
collection to find books that would meet her selection criteria. This article describes the influence of two landmark documents
for mathematics teaching and learning—Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], 1989) and Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000)—as she engaged in the process.

Kreutzer et al.’s (Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development 40(1):1–60, 1975) metamemory interview has been widely used in children’s metamemory literature, yet the psychometric properties of the measure
have yet to be reported, and the format and language of some subtests may pose problems for young children. Researchers often
combine subtests with other tests purported to measure metamemory, yet there is little empirical data regarding how these
subtests relate. It has been proposed that metamemory is comprised of distinct procedural and declarative components, but
this has not been empirically tested in young children. Therefore, the two studies reported here aimed to adapt Kreutzer et
al.’s interview to increase its developmental appropriateness, to examine the relationship between the interview subtests,
to add subtests that purport to test procedural metamemory, and then to examine the factor structure of the resulting scores
and investigate how metamemory changes with age across the elementary school years. The results suggest that the adapted versions
of the subtests are generally less contaminated by language ability, especially for the younger children. Factor analysis
indicated the presence of two declarative metamemory factors and one procedural metamemory factor. Both declarative factors
followed a similar developmental trajectory, increasing steadily from early to late elementary school age, whereas procedural
metamemory increased significantly between Grades 1 and 3 only. 相似文献

American publishers have published numerous children’s books about Barack Obama over the past several years; most take the
form of informational biographies. This article reports on a research project aimed at how these books incorporate sociohistorical
narratives, particularly those related to the civil rights movement. Though the features of the books might cause the reader
to presume political neutrality, the books link readers to distinct Discourses (Gee, 1996), suggesting particular ideologies. In this article, we identified the following differences: (1) specific happenings from
Obama’s life were included in some texts while omitted in others; (2) when the events were included, how they were framed
differed; and (3) the narrative constructions of the events varied. We use the differences amongst these texts to argue for
the importance of critical literacy in elementary classrooms. 相似文献

Using an example of a toddler’s developing understanding of an apple, this article illustrates how children integrate all
elements in their interpersonal and built environments to support their emerging literacy skills. Otto (2007) and others provide evidence from emergent literacy research that documents observations and exploration by infants, toddlers,
and young children and suggest that the ways in which children participate in early literature-related activities influence
the knowledge they construct. Twenty-two children’s books—including five for apple discoverers—are recommended and reviewed. 相似文献

Since the publication of the first young adult novel to deal with issues of sexual identity, John Donovan’s (1969) I’ll Get There, It Better Be Worth the Trip, over 200 novels have been published centered around gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) characters
and conflicts (Cart and Jenkins, 2006, The Heart has Its Reasons: Young Adult Literature with Gay/Lesbian/Queer Content, 1969–2004. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press). In significant contrast to early texts, many authors in recent years have sought to promote
inclusion of LGBTQ individuals and to present LGBTQ characters in a positive light. To do so, they frequently create antagonistic
homophobic characters and situations that provide a sense of realism (Crisp, 2009, Children’s Literature in Education, 40, 333–348). In this paper, I present several representative examples from these novels that challenge homophobia, but ultimately
leave it intact. Text excerpts are drawn from the numerous contemporary realistic LGBTQ-themed texts, published between the
years 2000–2005, and marketed to young adults. I then contrast these texts with the novel Boy Meets Boy (Levithan, 2003). Through the novel’s blurred genres and inventive use of linguistic features, Boy Meets Boy is able to more effectively undermine heteronormative assumptions by presenting the unthinkable: children as sexual beings,
hegemonic masculinity as in fact non-hegemonic and detrimental to success, and homosexuality as normalized and even ordinary. 相似文献

Research has shown the Holocaust to be the primary component of Jewish identity (Farago in Yahadut Zmanenu 5:259–285, 1989; Gross in Influence of the trip to Poland within the framework of the Ministry of Education on the working through of the
Holocaust. Unpublished M.A. thesis, Ben-Gurion University, Beer Sheva, 2000; Herman in Jewish identity: A socio-psychological perspective, Sage, Beverly Hills, 1977; Levy et al. in Beliefs, observations and social interaction among Israeli Jews. Louis Guttman Israel Institute of Applied
Social Research (Hebrew), Jerusalem, 1993; Ofer in Jews in Israel: Contemporary social and cultural patterns. Brandeis University Press, Hanover and London, pp. 394–417,
2004a) and to contribute significantly to Jewish Israelis’ sense of belonging to the Jewish people. Though the Holocaust is a central
event in Jewish history, Holocaust education is mandatory in the state education system in Israel, and some research has investigated
the impact of this education, the field has not been conceptualized systematically (Blatman in Bishvilei haZikaron 7:15–16,
1995; Feldman in Bishvilei haZikaron 7:8–11, 1995; Ofer in Jewish Educ 10:87–108, 2004b; Schatzker in Int J Polit Educ 5(1): 75–82, 1982). This article attempts to organize the existing knowledge on the subject through a meta-analysis of the foundations and
basic premises of Holocaust education in Israel, using the most important literature in the area. It first suggests a conceptual
framework, organizing by period the changing attitudes toward the Holocaust in general and Holocaust education in particular.
It then describes Holocaust education over the years, and finally analyzes the goals of Holocaust education, along with its
major dilemmas and challenges. 相似文献

In a recently published article in Cultural Studies of Science Education (Volume 6, Issue 2) titled, What does playing cards have to do with science? A resource-rich view of African American young men, Alfred Schademan (Cult Stud Sci Educ 6:361–380, 2011) examines the resources that African American young men learn through playing a card came called Spades. In his ethnographic
study, he takes a resource-rich view of the players, highlights the science-related resources they demonstrate, and challenges
deficit notions of these young men. Three Forum response papers complement Schademan’s research. The first is written by Nancy
Ares, the second is coauthored by Allison Gonsalves, Gale Seiler, and Dana Salter, and the third is written by Philemon Chigeza.
All three of these response papers elaborate on his points and emphasize issues inherent in working towards resource-rich
views in science education. In this paper, I draw on all four papers to explore the possibilities in recognizing, highlighting,
and accepting the resources that students bring as being resources for science learning. 相似文献

This paper outlines the connection between qualitative research methods in education and teacher reflective practices as they
relate to Valli’s (Reflective teacher education: cases and critiques. State University of New York Press, Albany, 1992; Peabody J Educ 72(1): 67–88, 1997) model of reflection. Using the authors’ own experiences in performing and guiding educational research, and existing research
in the field of teacher education pertaining to reflective practitioners, explicit connections are made between the two paradigms.
These connections illustrate the importance of integrating authentic research experiences into the teacher education curriculum
outside the context of methods courses, much like models established in the sciences. 相似文献
