Reconceptualizing cultural literacy as a dialogic practice

2019

Culture and heritage are plural and fluid, continually co-created through interaction between people. However, traditional monologic models of cultural literacy reflect a one-way transmission of static cultural knowledge. Using the context of a large European project and augmenting the work of Buber with models of literacy as social practice, in this article cultural literacy is reconceptualized as fundamentally dialogic. We argue that cultural literacy empowers intercultural dialogue, opening a dialogic space with inherent democratic potential. Considering implications for the classroom, we outline how a dialogic pedagogy can provide a suitable context for the development of young people's…

Digital collaboration inside and outside educational systems

2015

This article takes its outset in findings from an ongoing research project investigating the use of digital and multimodal resources in teacher education (TE) in Norway. The material studied is mandatory assignments in different courses in TE, asking how teacher students collaborate through digital media in their production of texts for learning, and how the design of these literacy practices can be influenced through the teachers’ design of the assignments. In focus group interviews the researchers found that the students preferred organizing collaborative processes through Facebook groups rather than through the university’s learning management system. This created a space between formal…

Utilizing digital tools to support face-to-face care : Examining uptake within the practices of Australian psychologist

2020

Societal adoption of mobile phones and other digital devices, and the resulting widespread digital literacy, allows for new possibilities in approaching and supporting faceto-face therapy. In this study, we examined the application of digital communication tools and media within therapeutic care by 33 psychologists across Australia. Uses of digital technologies were analyzed with a focus on both the approaches applied within face-to-face therapy sessions and those occurring as an adjunct to these sessions. In contrast to online counseling, established upon a foundation of digital technologies, the study results indicate that the use of technology in face-to-face therapy is still emerging bu…

Enhancing visual literacy through interpretation of photo-genres: toward a genre typology of journalistic photographs

2016

ABSTRACTAlthough genre is one of the most extensively employed concepts in various disciplines, only a few attempts have been made to classify images in the press, providing either a palette of thematic categories similar to those of photography competitions or theory-based classifications, which often ignore certain types of photographs. In addition, no studies have suggested the genre typology as a tool for the interpretation of journalistic photographs. Based on a literature review and visual material analysis from the Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza, this study compiles a typology that sets out four photo-genres: news photography, reportage photography, portrait photography and illustrativ…

Critical Literacy in the subject Norwegian: How students (13–14 years) read and evaluate multimodal commercial texts

2022

Denne artikkelen presenterer funn frå ei spørjeundersøking om kritisk lesing og vurdering som omfattar eit utval på 228 norske elevar på åttande trinn (13–14 år). Studien undersøkjer både kva oppfatningar om kritisk lesing elevane formidlar og korleis elevar vurderer og grunngir lesinga si av multimodale kommersielle tekstar. Eit hovudfunn i studien er at forståinga av kritisk lesing som kjeldekritikk er mest utbreidd blant elevane. Ein stor del av elevane har såleis ei rimeleg, men avgrensa oppfatning av kva det vil seie å nærme seg ein tekst på ein kritisk måte. Elevane forbind i mindre grad kritisk lesing med det å nærme seg teksten på ein analytisk måte. Eit anna hovudfunn er at ein del…

Blogu lietojums rindkopu rakstīšanas prasmju mācīšanā

2015

Blogu integrēšana angļu valodas studijās ir viens no veidiem kā uzlabot digitālās prasmes, kuru nozīme turpina pieaugt. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot bloga kā interaktīva ideju ģenerēšanas rīka lietojuma efektivitāti angļu valodas nodarbībās kurās tiek mācīta cēloņa-rezultāta un argumentācijas rindkopu rakstīšana, kas paredzēta publicēšanai blogā. Izmantojot situācijas analīzes pētijuma metodi tika pierādīts izvirzītais pieņēmums, ka rakstītprasmju mācīšanā blogus var efektīvi iekļaut kā komunikatīvu ideju ģenerēšanas rīku. Rezultāti atklāja, ka blogi ir intraktīvi un praktiski saziņas līdzekļi, kurus var izmantot rakstīšanas prasmju pilnveidē, kā arī, lai palielinātu studentu motivāci…
