Description

Product Description The use of ICT has transformed the traditional concept of literacy in education. However, educational agents seem to be struggling to make adjustments to match the emergence of new social practices in classrooms with rules privileging the use of conventional texts. Hence, this book provides a rich description of the challenges that are currently faced by teachers and students for interpreting and producing school texts. This goal is achieved using qualitative methodologies informed by Vygotskian sociocultural theory and different approaches to discourse analysis. The discussion presented focuses on the re-conceptualization of learning in terms of goal-oriented situated actions. In this respect, a series of studies describe the strategies used by primary school children for constructing electronic multimodal texts, and in particular for constructing Web pages collaboratively with historical themes. The analysis contributes with originality to understand new literacy practices in schools and should be especially useful for researchers, teachers, and policy makers searching for sound theoretical models and their application to recently identified educational situations. About the Author Juan Manuel Fernández Cárdenas holds a PhD in Language and Education from The Open University in the United Kingdom, and a BSc in Psychology from the National University of Mexico (UNAM). He works as a researcher at CRN-UNESCO and as a lecturer at UANL in Monterrey, Mexico. He is also a member of the National System of Researchers in Mexico.
