Hart, Mallory. "Test-Retest Reliability of Curriculum-Based Measurement Written Expression Probes." TopSCHOLAR®, 2014. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1394.
Full textAbstract:
Despite the growing popularity and utilization of Curriculum-Based Measurement for assessing students’ academic skills and for progress monitoring, little attention has been devoted to the area of written expression. Very few studies have been conducted to assess test-retest reliability. Only three previous studies were identified that examined the test-retest reliability of written expression curriculum-based measures. To address this issue, the current study examined the test-retest reliability of five common scoring procedures with students in grades 2, 4, and 6. A one-week time interval was used. Results indicated that while test-retest correlations were statistically significant and often at a moderate to moderately strong level, three of the measures showed statistically significant mean differences between the two test administrations in grade 6. The implications of these results are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The use of Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) in schools is increasing, as it is a useful indicator of students’ basic academic skills. CBM measures are often used for identifying students at-risk, monitoring their progress during interventions, and even making special education eligibility determinations. Much of the research has focused on CBM in the area of reading. Relatively few studies have examined the area of CBM-Written Expression. A couple of studies indicated there are gender differences on CBM-Written Expression measures. This study sought to determine if gender differences exist at the elementary level and, if so, at what grade level such differences appear.
This study investigated the differences between boys and girls on three CBM-Written Expression production-dependent scores (i.e., Total Words Written, Words Spelled Correctly, and Correct Word Sequence) across first through fifth grade levels. Statistically significant differences were found beginning in the first grade. However, effect sizes suggest practical differences do not occur until the second or third grade. The results indicate that schools using CBM-Written Expression data should develop genderspecific norms.

Full textAbstract:
This study addressed four questions about first graders' oral and written retellings. First, how did their retellings change over the period of one school year? Second, how did their own written and oral retellings of the same text compare and contrast? Third, did written retellings influence oral retellings? Fourth, did oral retellings influence written retellings? The retellings were scored using a holistic measure. Twelve students in the same first grade classroom participated in this study. The students were ranked based on teacher observation and were placed in experimental groups. The groups contained a heterogeneous mix of students, and were similar to each other. The first graders' oral and written retellings improved over the school year. Their oral retellings consistently scored higher than their written retellings. However, the evidence from this study does not indicate an influence of either written retellings on oral retellings or oral retellings on written retellings.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the relationship between college freshmen?s stage of reflective judgment and the patterns in their written arguments using a mixed-method design with two major and two secondary data collection strategies. The Reflective Judgment Interview (RJI) was conducted with 15 college freshmen enrolled in a composition course that focused on persuasive writing. Participants? essays were examined for patterns in position-taking, evidence-usage, treatment of objections, and rhetorical strategies. Essays were examined ?blind? to participants? reflective judgment scores, and then analyses were compared across reflective judgment groupings. Participants? qualitative interviews and self-recorded reflections on Paper 4 were used to supplement analyses of their essays, and to provide information about contextual factors. Based on assessments made by independent raters, four participants were described as using predominantly pre-reflective judgment, and eleven were described as using predominantly quasi-reflective judgment. Qualitative interviews revealed that participants in both groups had received instruction in persuasive writing in high school, had taken advanced English classes, and were familiar with their own writing processes. However, participants rated as using predominantly quasi-reflective judgment tended to adopt balanced positions, differentiate their views from an authority?s, acknowledge the ill-structured nature of the rhetorical dilemma, and respond to objections more frequently than their pre-reflective counterparts. At the same time, findings for both groups of students suggested that the writing context did not support participants? use of sophisticated assumptions about knowledge and justification, in that most essays written by participants in both groups included one-sided positions, an uncritical use of evidence, and superficial attention to the objections of a doubting audience. Based on these findings, the researcher made recommendations for more developmentally-sensitive instruction.

Vandercook, Sandra. "Exploring the Relationship between English Composition Teachers' Beliefs about Written Feedback and Their Written Feedback Practices." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2012. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/1552.
Full textAbstract:
For teachers of freshman English composition, the most time-consuming aspect of teaching is responding to student papers (Anson, 2012; Straub, 2000b). Teachers respond in various ways, but most teachers agree that they should offer written feedback to students (Beach & Friedrich, 2006). However, little research has been conducted to determine how teachers’ written feedback practices reflect their beliefs about the purpose of such feedback. This qualitative study explores the relationship between English composition teachers’ beliefs about written feedback and their actual written feedback practices.
The participants were a sample of four instructors of freshman English composition at a mid-sized metropolitan public university. Interviews, classroom observations, course documents, and samples of teachers’ written comments were analyzed to determine teachers’ written response practices and their beliefs related to the purposes of freshman writing and their roles as writing teachers. Results suggest that teachers were aware of their beliefs, and their written response practices were consistent with their beliefs. Teachers utilized different approaches to respond to student writing, but those approaches are consistent with current recommendations for responding to student writing.
Three major themes emerged from the study. First, teachers must be given the opportunity to reflect about and articulate their beliefs about written response so they will know why they respond in the way they do. Second, teachers work within the boundaries of their specific writing program to organize their written responses to student writing. Third, teachers must respond to student writing from varying perspectives as readers of the text. The findings support studies which indicate that written response is a sociocultural practice and teacher beliefs are just one aspect of the complex nature of teacher written response. The study should add to the fields of response theory and the formation of teacher beliefs.

Full textAbstract:
This project appears to be the first to determine growth rates for writing using Curriculum-Based Measurement-Written Expression (CBM-WE). Growth rates, or the amount of change over time, help educators track how much progress can be expected given typical instruction. CBM-WE probes were administered to a sample of 1,004 students in first through fifth grades within a school district. The writing probes were scored using production-dependent variables: Total Words Written (TWW), Words Spelled Correctly (WSC), and Correct Word Sequence (CWS). Data were analyzed by grade level and gender. Results are presented as weekly growth rates. Growth rates were calculated from fall to winter, winter to spring, and from fall to spring. This study found higher growth rates in the lower grades and the lowest growth rates in fifth grade. Negative growth was found when examining winter to spring scores for students in third through fifth grades. Girls typically showed more improvement than boys. Results will be beneficial for educators to understand and monitor elementary student progress in written expression.

Full textAbstract:
This project used Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) in the area of Written Expression to establish district norms for Bowling Green City Schools. CBM uses brief fluency measures as indicators of students' academic performance. With the use of CBM, it is possible to identify students who are considered to be at-risk for educational performance. AIMSweb probes were used to assess 1,565 first through fifth grade students from five elementary schools within the Bowling Green Independent School District. Performance was scored using the three most common scoring indices: Total Words Written (TWW), Words Spelled Correctly (WSC), and Correct Word Sequence (CWS). Data collected from this study are presented as norms at the building and district-wide levels. Each table (see Tables 2 -16) indicates student performance from each school on TWW, WSC, or CWS for a specific grade level. The tables illustrate what raw score corresponds to percentile ranks at the 10th,16th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 84th, and 90th percentiles. The 50th percentile would be considered typical performance for an "average" student at that particular time of year and grade level. Findings from this study will be beneficial in making educational decisions regarding students potentially at risk for difficulties in the area of written expression.

Schrader, Morgan L. "Curriculum Based Measurement-Written Expression: Effects of Choice and Interest on Third Graders’ Writing." TopSCHOLAR®, 2015. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1490.
Full textAbstract:
Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) has many effective uses in the school system and its use is increasing. Most CBM research focuses on the area of reading and little on writing. Only one study was found that examined the effects of choice in story starters on students’ writing performance, and a few studies examined the effects of interest level of writing topics, although none using CBM as a measure. Past research has indicated girls score significantly higher on CBM measures of writing than boys. This study investigated if choice and interest level in a story starter topic have an effect on students’ writing performance. This study investigated the differences between third grade boys and girls on two different CBM-Written Expression probes using production-dependent, productionindependent, and accuracy scores. The results indicate that when no choice is given, girls do score higher than boys. However, when given a choice of story starter topics, boys’ performance on the CBM measures is comparable to girls’ performance. Furthermore, higher interest in story starter topics lead to higher scores as well.

Full textAbstract:
The use of Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) in schools continues to increase, as it is a useful brief assessment of students’ basic academic skills. CBM measures are used for multiple tasks such as identifying students at-risk, creating local norms, monitoring students’ progress during interventions, and assisting with special education eligibility determinations. Much of the research has focused on CBM in the areas of math and reading. Relatively few studies have examined the area of CBMWritten Expression. Even fewer studies exist exploring the reliability among alternate writing forms. This study determined alternate form reliability coefficients for written expression probes at the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth grade levels using productiondependent, production-independent, and accurate-production scoring methods. When all grade levels are combined, alternate forms reliability coefficients are at a sufficiently high level. However, some scoring methods resulted in much higher correlations at younger grade levels than older grade levels. In general, the correlations were lower at the eighth grade level. Implications of the results for school personnel are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to review the literature on English Language Learners and written expression curriculum-based measurement. In recent years, there has been little research completed in the area of curriculum based measurement for writing for English Language Learners. A systematic review of the literature was conducted and all available literature on the use of written expression curriculum-based measurement since 2006 was identified and reviewed. Given the increasing diversity in our schools, particularly non-native English speakers, this review focused on studies including this group. There were differences in some of the technical features such as sample durations, writing tasks, and scoring procedures within the schools they were conducted in. Remaining gaps in the literature are discussed in addition to future directions and limitations.

Can, Gulfidan. "A Model for Doctoral Students' Perception and Attitudes toward Written Feedback for Academic Writing." DigitalCommons@USU, 2009. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/227.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate social science doctoral students' perceptions and attitudes toward different characteristics of written feedback and written feedback providers for their academic writing. Moreover, it aimed to provide an explanatory model to describe the relationships between these perceptions and attitudes, students' revision decisions, and other potentially relevant factors in their written feedback practices. The investigation was informed by two theoretical frameworks: principles of instructional design and conditions of learning, and situated learning and communities of practice.
The study used a mixed methods approach in which qualitative data collection and analysis was followed by quantitative data collection and analysis. The main purpose of the qualitative phase was to develop a background to build a questionnaire to be used in the quantitative phase. The qualitative data were collected through interviews with 15 participants. Grounded theory data analysis methods were adapted in the qualitative analysis of the data. The quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire with 276 participants in two large mountain west public universities. Descriptive and multivariate correlational data analyses were employed for the analysis of the quantitative data.
The results of this study provided descriptive information on doctoral students' preferences for different types of written feedback and their perceptions and attitudes toward different characteristics of written feedback providers. Moreover, the structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis results showed that that there are several factors in the feedback practices of the doctoral students that have significant influences on some other factors in these feedback practices. An eight-factor model was developed constituting the following factors: (a) attitudes toward critical/negative written feedback, (b) motivations for academic writing, (c) perceptions of opportunities to write academic papers with faculty members in the department, (d) attitudes toward asking and searching for written feedback for academic papers, (e) attitudes toward feedback providers' willingness and time to give feedback when asking for written feedback, (f) attitudes toward feedback providers' personality when asking for written feedback, (g) revision decisions considering the external issues while examining the written feedback, and (h) revision decisions considering the written feedback characteristics and the need for the revisions while examining the written feedback.

Writing assessments have taken two primary forms in the past two decades: direct and indirect. Irrespective of type, either form needs to be anchored to making decisions in the classroom and predicting performance on high-stakes tests, particularly in a high-stakes environment with serious consequences. In this study, 11th-grade students were given a classroom assessment in which they had 1 minute to think and 3 minutes to write. Student work was scored for correct word sequence (CWS), total words written (TWW), and correct minus incorrect word sequence (CIWS). Students were also given a high-stakes state test to determine eligibility for graduation. This study focuses on the relation between performance on the classroom assessment and the state tests, with comparisons made between the performance of students receiving special education services (SPED) and students in general education. In an age of accountability, test validity has become an increasingly complicated topic. The social consequences of assessments impact students and their educational experience.

Full textAbstract:
Multicultural social policies were formulated in Australia during the 1970s in response to challenges that had arisen the wake of a large-scale immigration program. Given recent intensification and diversification of immigrant intakes, however, understandings of multiculturalism have been contested repeatedly while new social demands have been made of the policy. In this context, questions have been raised about the adequacy of multicultural ethical education in Australian schools. These concern not only the type of ethics taught, but also the emphasis placed on ethics per se. This study emerges out of this context to look at the utility of using purpose-written philosophical materials– specifically, immigration-themed materials written by advocates of philosophy for children – for development of ethical understanding in multicultural Australia.

Full textAbstract:
I Ur och Skur preschools base their teaching on outdoor activities and all educators are called leaders, disregarding their educational background. The purpose of this study is to find out how the leaders of six I Ur och Skur preschools are working, specifically with the written language, in the outdoors environment. The study discusses the concept of literacy, methods leaders use and the advantages and disadvantages they experience with outdoors education and the thoughts they have about outdoor activities. The basis for this study is the objective pursued in the curriculum: "preschools should strive to ensure that children develop an interest in written language and an understanding of symbols and their communicative functions". Respondents have also been asked what outdoors education means to them on a personal level. To achieve my research results five qualitative interviews, with room for follow-up questions, were conducted. One of the respondents felt that she lacked time but still wanted to participate and doing so by answering questions by email. A total of six interviews were conducted, transcribed and analyzed. All respondents in this study are active leaders in I Ur och Skur preschools in a major city in Sweden. The results of the six interviews from the leaders show how they work with written language activities for children outdoors. The methods used seem quite similar between the various preschools. The leaders exploit the opportunities that are given, e.g. they write in the snow with watercolors or draw in the sand with sticks. They also read books outdoors for the children. The advantage, according to respondents, is that the material never ends, it is possible to write with almost anything. Possible disadvantages are bad weather conditions or too much background noise that may distract the children at times when they need to concentrate.

Full textAbstract:
Calls for increased attention to subject-specific histories have been somewhat insistent in the last two decades. An important emphasis in these calls has been for attention to the history of the 'preactive curriculum' as represented, for example, in Syllabus documents. English has been a particular case in these arguments- a case which often revolves around defining the subject itself. Others have argued further that subject-specific history is usually centred in detailed local, historical studies of the recent past. In attempting to address these issues, this study sets out to answer the questions: 1/. How was Years 7-10 English defined from the early 1970s to the early 1990s in NSW? 2/. What was the relationship between the concepts 'English' and 'literacy' in NSW in the given period? The study focuses specifically on constructions of English in Syllabus documents, professional journals, textbooks and examinations. The particular methodology used to address the study questions is an in-depth study of two selected years during, viz. 1977 and 1992, accompanied by detailed discussion of contextual aspects of these years.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

By examining studies that reflect on the teaching of Portuguese Language (LP) , we find that since the 1980 s a significant change in conceptions of teaching and learning of the mother tongue is happening . One such change refers to the practice of producing texts in school, the subject of this research. Writing before worked in mechanical activities, is seen as a social practice, that is, such as work, laden with socio- discursive intentions. Therefore, working with the production of texts in the classroom should prioritize social and discursive character of writing. This new look with the written form of the language is also present in official documents that guide the work of Professor LP. One of these document , prioritized in our research , is the Basic Curriculum for Municipal Public School West of Paraná - CBEPM - ( AMOP , 2010) that , starting from literate social practices in which students are embedded , mediated by Genres Discourse ( BAKHTIN , 1992) , considers the production of texts as a social practice . Given this context of teaching the LP, this research aims to investigate how the teachers in the early years of a city in western Paraná understand and forward the proposal for production of texts and consider curriculum guidelines in relation to this ability. To this end, we adopted the methodology of ethnographic research approach, the interpretive qualitative type. The survey was conducted with teachers of basic education, early years, in a city in western Paraná. These teachers participate in a continuing education project, whose title is " continuing to basic education teachers in early years education: actions to municipalities with low literacy IDEB the western Paraná " Stricto Graduate on the Program Degree in Letters, master's and doctoral level, campus Unioeste Cascavel, and has encouraging CAPES / INEP, since it is linked to the Centre of Education (OBEDUC) program. The corpus that we analyzed was generated through interviews and observation in the classroom. This research thus falls within the field of Applied Linguistics ( LA ) , taking as its theoretical basis the interactionist conception of language ( BAKHTIN / VOLOSHINOV , 2006) , as well as authors who share this theoretical positioning such as Geraldi (1984 , 1997 ) , Elias and Koch (2010 ) Marcuschi (2008) , among others. The data showed us that in school, we still find mechanical writing activities, without regard to the interactive aspects of language . However, we also found significant evidence of activities that are conspicuous by their interaction, thus demonstrating that teachers have demonstrated maturity of the proposed curriculum, namely take the job with textual production as a dialogical activity. Since then, these findings suggest possibilities for working with text production in the initial years. We therefore hope to contribute to a reflection that considers the language in its social dimension, perceiving writing as work
Ao nos debruçarmos sobre estudos que refletem o ensino de Língua Portuguesa (LP), percebemos que desde os anos de 1980 uma mudança significativa nas concepções de ensino e aprendizagem da língua materna vem ocorrendo. Uma dessas mudanças se refere à prática de produção de textos na escola, o tema desta pesquisa. A escrita, antes trabalhada em atividades mecânicas, passa a ser vista como uma prática social, isto é, como trabalho, carregada de intenções sócio-discursivas. Logo, o trabalho com a produção de textos em sala de aula deve priorizar o caráter social e discursivo da escrita. Esse novo olhar para com a modalidade escrita da língua também se faz presente nos documentos oficiais que norteiam o trabalho do professor de LP. Um desses documentos, priorizado em nossa pesquisa, é o Currículo Básico para a Escola Pública Municipal da região Oeste do Paraná CBEPM (AMOP, 2010) que, partindo de práticas sociais letradas em que os alunos estão inseridos, mediados pelos Gêneros do Discurso (BAKHTIN, 1992), considera a produção de textos como uma prática social. Em função desse contexto de ensino da LP, esta pesquisa se propôs a investigar como os professores dos anos iniciais de um município do oeste paranaense compreendem e encaminham a proposta de produção de textos e se consideram as orientações curriculares em relação a essa habilidade. Para tanto, adotamos como metodologia a pesquisa de abordagem etnográfica, do tipo qualitativa interpretativista. A pesquisa foi realizada com professores da Educação Básica, anos iniciais, de um município do oeste paranaense. Esses professores participam de um projeto de formação continuada, cujo titulo é ―Formação continuada para professores da educação básica nos anos iniciais: ações voltadas para a alfabetização em municípios com baixo IDEB da região oeste do Paraná‖, ligado ao Programa de Pós-graduação Stricto Sensu em Letras, nível mestrado e doutorado, da Unioeste campus Cascavel, e conta com fomento da CAPES/INEP, uma vez que integra o Programa do Observatório da Educação (OBEDUC). O corpus que analisamos foi gerado por meio de entrevistas e observação em sala de aula. Esta pesquisa se insere, assim, no campo da Linguística Aplicada (LA), adotando como base teórica a concepção interacionista da linguagem (BAKHTIN/VOLOCHINOV, 2006), bem como autores que compartilhem de tal posicionamento teórico, tais como Geraldi (1984, 1997), Koch e Elias (2010), Marcuschi (2008), entre outros. Os dados nos mostraram que, na escola, ainda encontramos atividades mecânicas de escrita, sem levar em conta os aspectos interativos da linguagem. No entanto, também encontramos indícios significativos de atividades que primam pela interação, demonstrando, assim, que os professores já demonstram amadurecimento da proposta curricular, isto é, tomam o trabalho com produção textual como uma atividade dialógica. A partir, então, destas constatações, propomos possibilidades de trabalho com a produção textual nos anos inicias. Esperamos, portanto, contribuir para uma reflexão que considere a língua em sua dimensão social, percebendo a escrita como uma atividade interativa

Full textAbstract:
English Learners experience challenges related to comprehension of science text particularly at the high school level. The language of science differs significantly from that of conversation and expository text. Students benefit from collaborative interpretation of readings. Additionally, there appears to be a need to train adolescents in the oral language skills requisite for academic discourse.
This study employed a sample of high school physical science students (N = 75) whose first language was Spanish and who were currently developing English language proficiency. It used quasi-experimental methodology with treatment and comparison groups, during the normal operations of the public school classroom. It tested the effect of training with a textbook summarization method and with an academic conversation strategy on the comprehension of state-adopted science textbook readings. Posttest scores of both groups were analyzed using an ANOVA. Posttest scores of treatment group members were analyzed in relation to prior science knowledge, reading level, gender, and level of English proficiency using a factorial ANOVA.
Findings suggest that the treatment had a positive impact on the achievement of students who had a low level of English language proficiency. In light of the at-risk nature of this population, given low socioeconomic status and that a high percentage of families are migrant workers, this in encouraging. The basic premise of the treatment appears promising. Evidence collected pertaining to its effect relative to students’ general ESOL level, science background knowledge, literacy skills, and gender neither confirmed nor denied the viability of the strategy. The further significance of this study is that it adds to the body of research on strategies to support English Learners.

Full textAbstract:
This study is part of the researching field of Curriculum, Teaching and School Practices of the Education Master s Degree course at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria and aims at comprehending the organization of the written language teaching in the 1st and 2nd grades of the Elementary School and its relationship between the construction of the written culture in literacy. In order to achieve the goals proposed and obtain an approach to the research problem we searched in the qualitative approach of research, more precisely in the multiple case study, for aids to the development of the investigation. For this, three public schools from Santa Maria-RS collaborated, one from the municipal teaching system and two state schools. The instruments used for data collection were the documents analysis, in this case the documents selected for the analysis were the school Political Pedagogical Project and the school syllabus. The interviews made, had the collaboration of nine teachers of the grades studied. From the content analysis two categories emerged: Construction of the curriculum for the lecto-writing teaching and Concretization of the curriculum for the lecto-writing teaching , that collaborated on/with a deeper comprehension of the thematic being studied. This way, we can say it is necessary changes in the configuration of the curriculums for the written language teaching and, consequently, in their concretization in order to make the quality of the mother tongue teaching possible in the sense to provide inclusion for the educatees in the written culture. In this way, we emphasize that these transformations will only be possible if there is a compromise among everyone involved with the school, once the necessity to change can be reached taking into account the reality existent, projecting the reality wished and, in this way, actions to achieve the new reality can be searched in collectively. Thus, we also highlight the importance of the teachers involved in the lecto-writing teaching and based on this, we emphasize the importance of the teachers continued formation as a possibility of enlarging and deepening the teachers production. We believe this formation can happen in the school, through actions that promote collective studies, in a way the teachers together can have contact with the productions about the different themes related to literacy and curriculum. So, that through the share of ideas they can discuss, reflect and comprehend to (trans)form and (trans)form themselves.Este estudo insere-se na linha de pesquisa Currículo, ensino e práticas escolares , do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria e teve como foco compreender a organização do currículo voltado para o ensino da língua escrita no 1º e 2º anos do Ensino Fundamental e sua relação com a construção da cultura escrita na alfabetização. Com a intenção de alcançar os objetivos propostos e obter uma aproximação ao problema de pesquisa buscamos na abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, mais especificamente no estudo de caso múltiplo, subsídios para o desenvolvimento da investigação. Para tanto, contamos com a colaboração de três escolas públicas da cidade de Santa Maria-RS, uma da rede municipal e duas da rede estadual de ensino. Os instrumentos utilizados para a coleta de dados foram a análise documental, neste caso os documentos selecionados para a análise foram os Projetos Político-Pedagógicos e os planos de estudos das escolas. E as entrevistas, as quais foram realizadas contando com a colaboração de nove professoras dos anos em estudo. Da análise de conteúdo desse material emergiram duas categorias: Construção do currículo voltado para o ensino da lecto-escrita e Concretização do currículo voltado para o ensino da lecto-escrita , as quais colaboraram para/com o aprofundamento e compreensão da temática em estudo. Dessa maneira, podemos dizer que se fazem necessárias transformações na configuração dos currículos voltados para o ensino da língua escrita e, conseqüentemente, na concretização desses a fim de que a qualidade do ensino da língua materna, proporcionando aos educandos a inserção na cultura escrita, seja possível. Nessa direção, destacamos que essas transformações somente serão possíveis se houver comprometimento por parte de todos os envolvidos com a escola, uma vez que a necessidade de mudar possa ser despertada avaliando-se a realidade que se tem, projetando a realidade que se deseja e, dessa forma, ações para o alcance da nova realidade sejam buscadas coletivamente. Assim, ressaltamos também a importância do papel das professoras envolvidas com o ensino da lecto-escrita e em função disso destacamos a importância da formação continuada dessas como possibilidade de ampliação e aprofundamento do processo de produção da docência. Acreditamos que essa formação pode ocorrer no âmbito da escola, através de ações que promovam estudos coletivos, de maneira que as professoras juntas possam ter contato com as produções acerca das diferentes temáticas que se relacionam com a alfabetização e o currículo. Enfim, que através do compartilhamento de idéias possam discutir, refletir e compreender para (trans)formar e (trans)formarem-se.

The importance of written communication skills for professionals in the field of ICT is widely referred to in the literature, which also mentions the shortcomings of many professionals when writing reports, projects or other documents. However, despite the widespread perception of the situation, the curricula of ICT degrees, especially in the European context, have proposed little or no training in this skill. Not until recently, in the last decade, this trend has begun to change as a result of the gradual adaptation of curricula to the guidelines of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).

Full textAbstract:
Calls for increased attention to subject-specific histories have been somewhat insistent in the last two decades. An important emphasis in these calls has been for attention to the history of the 'preactive curriculum' as represented, for example, in Syllabus documents. English has been a particular case in these arguments- a case which often revolves around defining the subject itself. Others have argued further that subject-specific history is usually centred in detailed local, historical studies of the recent past. In attempting to address these issues, this study sets out to answer the questions: 1/. How was Years 7-10 English defined from the early 1970s to the early 1990s in NSW? 2/. What was the relationship between the concepts 'English' and 'literacy' in NSW in the given period? The study focuses specifically on constructions of English in Syllabus documents, professional journals, textbooks and examinations. The particular methodology used to address the study questions is an in-depth study of two selected years during, viz. 1977 and 1992, accompanied by detailed discussion of contextual aspects of these years.

Full textAbstract:
Stagnant growth on national standardized tests in mathematics and reading and a focus on disciplinary literacy in the Common Core State Standards in ELA, history/social studies, science, and technical subjects has prompted a resurgence in utilizing literacy strategies in the content areas in high school. While literacy standards in mathematics are not explicitly identified in the Common Core State Standards, there may be a place for the use of literacy strategies in high school mathematics. This study explored the relationships between students’ mathematics and reading achievement scores at a small, suburban high school and the implementation of a school wide literacy program to inform curriculum development and instructional strategies.
The reading and mathematics achievement of students in ninth through eleventh grade was retroactively analyzed to identify changes in student achievement over a two-year period. In the first year, the ninth grade cohort showed statistically significant improvement on both measures of mathematics achievement. Within this ninth grade cohort, students who qualified for free lunches also saw statistically significant improvement in mathematics. None of the other groups showed improvement on both measures of mathematics achievement or reading achievement. In the second year, both the ninth and tenth grade cohorts showed statistically significant increases on both mathematics and reading achievement. Within each of these grade level cohorts, females and white students also saw statistically significant increases in both mathematics and reading. The eleventh grade cohort did not have any significant increases on either measure. On the state top-to-bottom ranking, this high school has moved from the 4 th percentile to the 25th percentile during the implementation of the school wide literacy program.
While national standardized tests have shown little to no improvement over the last several administrations, this small, suburban high school has seen continued growth over the last several years. Though the results of this study cannot be used to determine a causal relationship between the implementation of literacy strategies and the academic achievement of students in either mathematics or reading, it does provide a case for further investigation into such a relationship.

Full textAbstract:
Although it may not seem possible that a student could graduate from an Ivy League institution without basic writing skills, a 2003 Chronicle of Higher Education article concluded that it is not only possible, but that it does happen. Some students are actually suing colleges and universities because they do not believe they have been taught the skills necessary to succeed in the area of written communication. This deficiency reflects poorly on universities, and even small liberal arts colleges are not exempt from this problem.
This dissertation was driven by a desire to learn how professors at one small liberal arts college viewed the use of writing in their courses. The professors were interviewed to determine how they viewed writing, how they viewed their students" writing, how familiar they were with writing-across-the-curriculum practices, and how much writing was assigned in their courses.
The study results indicated that many professors use writing extensively in their courses, and that they considered their assignments appropriate and successful in achieving their goals. The study also revealed that some professors use little or no writing, and their reasons for doing so were varied. The most common explanation was a lack of time to create assignments and to read and assess written assignments. Some professors also concurred that they felt uncomfortable using writing because their own writing skills were lacking. Other professors were discouraged by poor student writing and had given up on using additional writing assignments.
The most surprising result from this study was the professors" lack of knowledge concerning the use of writing as a learning and thinking tool. Most were comfortable with the standard research paper, case study type of writing assignments, but few used writing-across-the-curriculum methods or practices. Writing prompts, journals, and non-graded pieces were not part of their teaching repertoire. Even professors in the field of education reported that they have not adopted the newer teaching strategies. The concluding chapter addressed faculty concerns and provided suggestions for overcoming these concerns.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of this study was to describe, analyze, and compare the effects of learning centers and curricular themes upon the writing production of four children within a kindergarten classroom which followed the whole language approach. This study was conducted in a public school. Four subjects were identified from the administration of the Book Handling Knowledge Task. Using the qualitative research method of case studies, the teacher-researcher kept observational notes concerning the writing behavior of the subjects. The written compositions of the subjects were collected daily throughout the school year and were assigned a context, learning center and curricular theme. The compositions were then coded as to writing frequency, function, and form. The following findings resulted from the study: writing occurred most frequently in the art center followed by dramatic play, language, sand, science, social studies, "other," eyes and hands, mathematics, and library-listening; writing occurred most frequently during the curricular theme of Christmas followed by self-concept, shapes and colors, farm animals, Thanksgiving, Winter, transportation, nursery rhymes, patriotic, Valentine, food and nutrition, Halloween, Spring, wild animals, community helpers, gingerbread man, Summer, Easter, and pets; all five functions of language were used in the art center, four in the language, dramatic play, social studies, and "other" centers, and three in all other centers; all five functions were used during the Valentine curricular theme, four during self-concept, transportation, Spring, and farm animals, three during food and nutrition, and nursery rhymes, two during eleven other curricular themes, and only one during Easter and pets; and gains were made in form by the end of the study. Writing was often in the last stage of spelling development and more print concepts were in evidence. The conclusions made were that some learning centers and curricular themes prompt more frequent writing and the use of more language functions.

Full textAbstract:
Students who are emergent readers and writers are often difficult to assess, as they are unable to communicate understanding in writing. From my observations, these students communicate ideas best through concrete forms of expression, rather than the abstract formation of letters and writing that is unfamiliar to them. Drawing provides an alternate form of expression from writing. Based on information found in literature review and personal experiences from working with students who are emergent readers and writers, pictures and drawings are a bridge to communicate ideas with these students. This form of expression and communication may be a useful assessment tool for students at this developmental stage. The purpose of this research study is to test the hypothesis that retelling using visual art representations of the story will yield positive results.

This enquiry is a conceptual study that challenges the ways that teachers and students learn about the creative process of Responding as defined in the Queensland Senior Drama Syllabus 2001. During the term of this research I have been challenged to rethink my attitudes to responding by contemplating new experiences and opportunities to enable my drama students to engage fully with live theatre.
Theatre visits are integral components of learning about drama and they do not necessarily entail assessment. However, the subject of this enquiry is in part about the
assessment of the Responding objective, given the trend that teachers frequently use live theatre for responding tasks. As distinct from qualitative research, this study seeks to conceptualise a variety of responding models that can be employed in the drama classroom. Some new concepts proposed in this thesis may be intellectually challenging
for school students, however I believe that it is healthy to continually challenge the learning experiences and related assessment tasks that we implement in our drama
classrooms.
There are no certainties in conceptual research, but assumptions and ideas that link with theory and perhaps lead to improved practice. It is my view that rethinking the models that teachers use to teach responding will enable more students to engage meaningfully
with live performance.
This research endeavours to raise awareness of new possibilities in the area of responding to live theatre. My own journey of thinking about responding is reflected in
the structure of this thesis. Early discussions with teaching colleagues and arts providers have been included as these have been integral in setting a background context for this field. The focus of the literature review in this enquiry is the concept of the mature responder, which has informed my exploration of four models of responding developed from theory and my own classroom practice. My interest in this research project has been generated from attempts to design challenging and authentic responding tasks for my senior drama students.

Zarlengo, Tanya P. "No One Wants to Read What You Write: A Contextualized Analysis of Service Course Assignments." Scholar Commons, 2019. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/7993.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation takes a systematic approach to answering the question of what services course assignment should accomplish in curricula by looking at the assignment from a contextual perspective that takes into consideration the programmatic factors in which the assignment circulates. The dissertation accomplishes this work by studying curricular artifacts, to include course syllabi and assignment descriptions, as well as textbooks. Additionally, interviews with program administrators and textbook authors are analyzed. The results of this analysis posit a programmatic network that visualizes connections between program, course, and staffing administrative factors with assignments as the nexus of the network. This dissertation illustrates the ways in which assignments function as a point of connection between other programmatic factors and the ways those connections can be leveraged to design more impactful assignment, increase effective program administration, and contribute to Technical and Professional Communication’s (TPC) disciplinary identity and values. The implications of this studies conclusions include discussions of contextualized genre, aligning course and assignment objectives, and impacts of curricular standardization. Disciplinary impacts include the value of empirical research in TPC, and the practical and ethical implication of addressing staffing issues through professional development. Future work to develop the programmatic network into a theory of the service course further serves the discipline. Ultimately, this dissertation proves that assignments are reflections and constructions of disciplinary values held by assignment designers, and, as such, further study of the service course is merited.

Full textAbstract:
CITE/Language ArtsEd.D.
The need for improved student achievement in writing is well-documented across all grades and scores continue to show slow gains. The evidence is clear that one way to improve student achievement is to increase engagement. Engaged students not only do better in school, but think of themselves as better students and are perceived by others, including their teachers, to be more successful. This study looks at a writing program based on the use of metaphor, and measures changes in student engagement before and after the writing lesson. It also looks at the writing produced by the students to determine how well they learned to write with metaphor and whether their writing evidenced use of well-developed metaphor, such as container and orientation metaphors. Conducted with two fifth-grade classes, the study uses quantitative and qualitative methods. The results indicated that the students overall did not show significant increases in engagement after the lesson. However, between the two classes, some differences did emerge. The study further examines whether students learned to use metaphoric concepts in their writing, and if the ability to write metaphorically differed by gender or class achievement.

A apropriação das Tecnologias Digitais (TDs) na prática pedagógica, pelos professores dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental da Rede Municipal de Juiz de Fora e a possível articulação dessa prática com a Proposta Curricular de Língua Portuguesa desse nível de ensino, tendo em vista o processo de alfabetização e letramento dos alunos, constituiu-se o foco desta pesquisa. Sua organização orienta-se a partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa que se fundamenta na teoria da construção social do conhecimento de Vygotsky (1995, 1996,1998, 2007) e na teoria enunciativa da linguagem de Bakhtin (1992, 1999, 2003). Somando-se a essas teorias, a fundamentação está ancorada nos estudos de Soares (2002, 2004), Freitas (2008, 2009, 2010 e outros), Rojo (2010, 2012), Lévy (1999), Bevilaqua (2013) e Kenski (2012a, 2012b). A entrevista, a observação participante e o questionário são os instrumentos escolhidos para a coleta de dados por propiciarem uma relação dialógica entre pesquisadora e pesquisados. Acrescenta-se a estes a análise documental da Proposta Curricular de Língua Portuguesa. A pesquisa identificou que os professores vêm se apropriando das TDs em sua prática pedagógica enquanto instrumentos culturais de aprendizagem da atualidade e desenvolvendo um trabalho com vistas a alfabetizar letrando com as TDs. As práticas dos professores sujeitos da pesquisa se mostraram alinhadas ao propósito de construção de um currículo escolar coadunado com as novas tendências sociais de uma sociedade tecnologizada. Os docentes propõem atividades variadas com a intenção de trabalhar o uso instrumental das tecnologias ou, de forma mais ampla, com finalidade pedagógica, em que os objetivos vão além do uso instrumental, relacionando-se aos conteúdos curriculares previstos. De todas as práticas mencionadas, o jogo é proeminente no Laboratório de Informática (LI), permitindo a construção do conhecimento nas diversas áreas e maior apropriação do universo digital. O planejamento e os recursos materiais e humanos foram apontados como elementos fundamentais para o trabalho com as TDs, destacando-se como entraves a uma boa prática a dificuldade de conexão com a internet, a condição e quantidade insuficiente dos equipamentos e o desvio de função do professor do LI. O professor responsável pelo LI da escola tem sua prática voltada ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos, porém também é um formador de seus pares, reconhecido por eles, no que se refere ao uso das TDs. A prática pedagógica desenvolvida no LI é influenciada pelas orientações da Proposta Curricular de Língua Portuguesa, de acordo com a concepção dos letramentos (múltiplos), embora a suplante no que se refere à construção de um trabalho que se volta à perspectiva dos multiletramentos. Nessa direção, ficou evidenciada a importância de dar continuidade ao trabalho com a multiplicidade semiótica dos textos e investir também, de forma mais efetiva, no trabalho com a multiplicidade cultural das populações, de modo a redesenhar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem.
The appropriation of Digital Technologies (DTs) in the pedagogical practice, by elementary and junior high teachers in municipal schools of Juiz de Fora, and the possible articulation of such practice with the Portuguese Language Curricular Proposal for that level, considering the basic process of reading and writing and process of literacy constitutes the focus of this research. Its organization is guided by a qualitative research based on Vygotsky's theory of social construction of knowledge (1995, 1996, 1998, 2007), and Bakhtin'senunciative theory of language (1992, 1999, 2003). In addition to these theories, the groundwork is anchored in studies by Soares (2002, 2004), Freitas (2008, 2009, 2010 and others) and Rojo (2010, 2012), Lévy (1999), Bevilaqua (2013) and Kenski (2012a, 2012b). The interview, the participant observation and the questionnaire are the chosen instruments for data collection once they provide a dialogical relationship between the researcher and the researched ones. Moreover, it was added the documental analysis of the Portuguese Language Curricular Proposal. The research verified that teachers have appropriated DTs in their pedagogical practice as cultural instruments of current learning and developed a work hoping to teach the alphabet with literacy by using DTs.The practices of the teachers who are subjects of the research were aligned with the purpose of building a school curriculum in line with the new social tendencies of a technologized society.Teachers propose varied activities with the intention of working on the instrumental use of technologies or, more broadly, for pedagogical purposes, in which the objectives go beyond the instrumental use, being related to the curricular contents that are expected.Of all the mentioned practices, the game is prominent in the Computer Laboratory (CL), allowing the construction of knowledge in different areas and greater appropriation of the digital universe. Planning and material and human resources were identified as fundamental elements for the work with DTs, being pointed as obstacles to a good practice, the difficulty of connecting to the Internet, the insufficient condition and quantity of equipment and the function diversion of the CL teacher.The teacher responsible for the CL of the school has its practice focused on the teaching-learning process of the students, but also the teacher is a trainer of their peers, recognized by them, regarding the use of DTs. The pedagogical practice developed in the CL is influenced by the orientations of the Portuguese Language Curriculum Proposal, according to the conception of the literacies (multiple), although it supplants the last one, concerning the construction of a work that goes towards the perspective of multiliteracies. According with this direction, it became evident the importance of continuing the work with the semiotic multiplicity of the texts and also investing, more effectively, in the work with the populations cultural multiplicity, in order to redesign the teaching-learning process
