Standards Revisions and Teachers’ Voices: A Story of Participation, Politics, and Passion
Authors: M. Miller Diane , Pinkerton Kim
Published: January 2024

Following a sustained involvement with the English language arts and reading standards revision process in their state, the authors reflect upon the political process, passionate determination, and participatory advocacy that shaped the work with their state affiliate. In this article, they discuss the events that occurred as the standards were revised under the leadership of the state board of education and the state education agency in conjunction with teacher workgroups and professional organizations. A chronological timeline is contextualized by the authors’ professional journeys toward advocacy and the future directions for implementing the revised standards in the state of Texas with general suggestions for how advocacy efforts could be implemented in other settings.

Scaling as a Literacy Activity: Mobility and Educational Inequality in an Age of Global Connectivity
Authors: Stornaiuolo Amy , LeBlanc Robert Jean
Published: January 2024

This article takes up an area of central concern for educators in an era of global connectivity: howto account for the mobility of people, texts, and practices while simultaneously addressing persistent educational inequalities. In attending to the ways people participate in unequal globalized contexts,even educational contexts constructed to bring students and teachers together, we examine how resources such as time, space, materials, national identity, genre, and language are all unequally distributed and unequally ordered in various hierarchies. We propose the notion of scale to offer literacy researchers a flexible conceptual tool with which to examine educational inequities by capturing how movement and mobility are not simple processes of relocation; rather, literacies and texts are always dynamically constructed in relation to hierarchical orders of varying spatial and temporal dimensions. Through multisited ethnography, we engage in a scalar analysis of teachers’ cross-cultural collaborations to illustrate how they produced various categories of space and time (e.g., local, national, global) through routine literacy engagements. In explaining how different scales are invoked, implicated, and constructed in interaction, we find that participants engaged in six scalar moves-upscaling, downscaling, aligning, contesting, anchoring, and embedding-and offer these in response to the pressing need to develop sensitive analytical toolsthat can bring to the surface the ways inequalities are inscribed in literacy practices and texts.Implications of conceptualizing scaling as literacy activity include disrupting smooth narratives of global connectedness in educational collaborations and highlighting the multiscalar nature of all literacy practice.

Elaborated Specificity versus Emphatic Generality: A Corpus-Based Comparison of Higher- and Lower-Scoring Advanced Placement Exams in English
Authors: Brown David West , Aull Laura L.
Published: January 2024

Text-driven, quantitative methods provide new ways to analyze student writing, by uncovering recurring grammatical features and related stylistic effects that remain tacit to students and those who read and evaluate student writing. To date, however, these methods are rarely used in research on students transitioning into US postsecondary writing, and especially rare are studies of student writing that is already scored according to high-stakes writing expectations. This study offers a corpus-based, comparative analysis of higher- and lower-scoring Advanced Placement (AP) exams in English, revealing statistically significant syntactic patterns that distinguish higher-scoring exams according to “informational production” and lower-scoring essays according to “involved” or “interactional” production (Biber, 1988). These differences contribute to what we label emphatic generality in the lower-scoring essays, in which writers tend to foreground human actors, including themselves. In contrast, patterns in higher-scoring essays achieve what we call elaborated specificity, by focusing on and explicating specific, often abstract, concepts.These findings help uncover what is rewarded (or not) in high-stakes writing assessments and show that some students struggle with register awareness. A related implication, then, is the importance of teaching register awareness to students at the late secondary and early university level—students who are still relative novices, but are being invited to compose informationally dense prose. Such register considerations, and specific features revealed in this study, provide ways to help demystify privileged writing forms for students, particularly students for whom academic writing may seem distant from their own communicative practices and ambitions.

Research in Creative Writing: Theory into Practice
Authors: Bailey Christine , Bizzaro Patrick
Published: January 2024

Since the publication of Wendy Bishop’s Released into Language (1990), the disciplinary boundaries of composition and creative writing have been in question. More recently, as Douglas Hesse’s “The Place of Creative Writing in Composition Studies” (2010) suggests, creative writing has been assumed to exist as a subdiscipline of composition despite efforts during the past decade to develop a new discipline, Creative Writing Studies. The research reported on and analyzed here argues for creative writing’s disciplinary status by using Toulmin’s (1972) definition of disciplinarity as a basis for claiming writers’ aesthetic documents as data and reporting those data in an aesthetic form. In our study, 57 students in first-year composition were asked to write a creative piece concerning how they came to the present place in their lives. Students produced 57 artifacts, including 55 poems, one script, and one visual narrative. These data were subsequently represented in fiction—that is, we used a novel to present our findings in an effort to assert the differences between the ways findings might be rendered in composition as opposed to creative writing. This paper examines what each subject area views as evidence and how that evidence might be most profitably analyzed and discussed in an aesthetic document. We suggest that the process of writing the novel is a method, a mode of analysis, with the novel itself as the articulation of the researchers’ analysis of the original data. Using this method, we studied creative writing aesthetically as creative writing and offer a justification for doing so.
Forum: Setting a Research Agenda for Lifespan Writing Development: The Long View from Where?
Authors: Prior Paul
Published: January 2024

I am writing in response to the recent Forum essay “Taking the Long View on Writing Development,” authored by Bazerman, Applebee, Berninger, Brandt, Graham, Matsuda, Murphy, Rowe, and Schleppegrell (2017; and hereafter “The Long View”). I argue that “The Long View” was driven by the aim of identifying consensus rather than working through difference, that the principles represent commonplaces rather than a principled synthesis of research, that questions of epistemology and theory central to research agendas are essentially ignored, and that views of writing as semiotically exceptional and writing development as centered in school represent serious flaws in setting the agenda. The semiotic exceptionalism of “The Long View” represents a serious category mistake (Ryle, 1949). Taking “writing” as the unit of analysis occludes the diverse semiotic activity that necessarily shapes all textual artifacts and acts of inscription. Viewing writing as sharply distinct from orality risks reigniting Great Divide theories that had so many problematic effects on research, pedagogy, and people. Seeing school as the primary context for writing development ignores the rich roles of life outside school. In short, “The Long View” takes too narrow and problematic a view on issues of epistemology, theory, and literate lives to serve as the foundation for the critical research enterprise it aspires to conjure in our collective future. Instead, I suggest that research on the lifespan development of writing needs to begin with embodied, mediated, dialogic semiotic practice as its unit of analysis and to trace what people do, learn, and become across all the deeply entangled domains of their lives.

Feature: Playing by (and with) the Rules: Revision as Role-Playing Game in the Introductory Creative Writing Classroom
Authors: Bundy Sheryl Lyn
Published: January 2024

Using student poems and reflections collected over several years, the author examines the impact of a role-playing game experience on introductory creative writing students’ openness toward taking risks, revising (and improvising) playfully, and working with limitations or rules. The role-play uses Lars von Trier’s film The Five Obstructions as a model—particularly the diabolical game that unfolds between directors von Trier and Jørgen Leth—and requires students to “remake” a poem of theirs three times according to sets of rules designed specifically for them by the instructor in face-to-face meetings.

Published: January 2024

The authors explore how students in an English language arts class connect their classroom to their communities through creating digital projects that leverage multiple languages and multimodal composition in a process they call “multimodal code-meshing”—. Drawing from student examples, teachers detail how multilingual students respond to a text about heroism by interviewing "everyday heroes" in their communities, creating multimodal compositions and sharing these compositions with classmates in a type of community literacy that pushes students to both critique and create community texts.

Finding Flow: The Power of Motivation and Pleasure (Vol. 23, No. 1, Sept. 2015)
Authors: Wilhelm Jeffrey D.
Published: January 2024

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s theory of flow posits that when people are most engaged, they have achieved a state of mind where they are totally immersed in the activity to an extent where nothing else can interfere or interrupt it. The conditions necessary to create a “flow” experience are quite similar to the conditions for pleasure discovered by the author in his own research. The key to motivation, then, is to attempt to cultivate the conditions of flow and the listed conditions for pleasure in classroom work.

Anthem or Nah? Culturally Relevant Writing Instruction and Community (Vol. 23, No. 2, Dec. 2015)
Authors: Johnson Latrise P. , Eubanks Elizabeth
Published: January 2024

This article examines the utilization, implementation, and impact of an original writing lesson—the anthem essay. The anthem essay lesson was designed to prepare preservice teachers to teach a structured writing lesson for middle level writers. This culturally relevant lesson prompted emerging writers to focus on and interrogate social issues at play in their personal lives and within their communities. Through dialogue, discussion, and collaboration, students were prepared to write community—that is, when writing is not only for the individual, but linked to how we belong with each other in the world. In other words, students write within and for community. The anthem essay invited and centered student ideas while interrupting traditional ways of teaching essay writing for young adolescent writers.

They must believe that writing with students is not just another thing to do; it is the thing that creates writers.
“What Kind of Reader Are You?” Self-Regulating Middle School Reading Practices
Authors: Coombs Dawan Lynn , Howard Caroline
Published: January 2024

In order for students to become empowered readers who read strategically and regulate their practices, they must learn to assess their own progress. This article draws on classroom practice and research to explore how Carrie, a seventh-grade language arts teacher, helped her students evaluate their reading habits and then use these evaluations to self-monitor and self-regulate their reading practices. Specifically, it describes how integrating strategies such as reader quizzes, goal-setting, and reflective questions about students' experiences into her curriculum helped Carrie empower students to take ownership for their reading while also providing scaffolded instruction to support student growth.

Critical Focus | Aliens of the Botanical World
Authors: Ford Brian J.
Published: January 2024

Orchids have long been important to microscopists. The cell nucleus was first identified in orchids, and some species are so minute they require a microscope to be clearly observed. We were hiking up the tallest mountain in Borneo when I saw it. Nestling on a rain-wet branch was the tiny but unmistakable flower of the Pinhead Orchid, Podochilus tenuis. The local botanists knew it well; it had been studied since its discovery in 1833 and measured some 2 mm (8/100 in.) across — the smallest known orchid in the world. Others have since made similar claims. When Platystele jungermannioides was recently discovered in Ecuador, it was no smaller, though was immediately claimed as the record holder. Then Campylocentrum insulare was spotted in Brazil during 2015, looking like a tiny fungus and recognizable as an orchid only under the microscope. In Australia you will find Bulbophyllum minutissimum less than 1.5 mm (6/100 in.) — and all these diminutive flowers have petals that are only one cell thick. These are the smallest land plants anywhere on earth.

The Unification of Becke Line and Dispersion Staining Techniques for the Determination of Refractive Index of Non-Opaque Materials
Authors: Su Shu-Chun
Published: January 2024

Becke line and dispersion staining are the two major techniques for measuring the refractive index of non-opaque materials by the immersion method via polarized light microscopy. The immersion method has wide applications in many scientific disciplines that require the refractive index measurement of natural or man-made materials, such as geology, material science, biology, pharmaceutical science, forensic science, etc., and especially in the environmental science to identify asbestos minerals in building and construction materials as well as in their natural occurrences. Based on the two techniques' inherent relationship, this paper presents a unified quantification diagram applicable to both Becke line and dispersion staining techniques for the measurement of the refractive index of non-opaque materials. Issues relevant to the application of Becke line and dispersion staining techniques are discussed in detail. Also presented is a suite of tables, charts, and illustrations to facilitate the refractive index measurement of asbestos minerals.

Published: January 2024

"This article presents a batch of lamps discovered, in 2022, in the central area of the Roman city of Romula. Import lamps of the type Loeschcke VIII/Ivanyi VII, Loeschcke X with the marks FORTIS, IANVARI and OCTAVI, respectively Loeschcke VIII/Bailey Type K. They circulated from the second quarter of the 2nd century AD to the middle of the third century, with greater frequency from the second half of the 2nd century to the first third of the 3rd century AD. Lamps of local production are of the type Loeschcke VIII, similar to Ivanyi VII, Loeschke X with the mark FAOR, IANVARI, respectively modelled to Alicu XXI type wheel. They have been discovered in archaeological contexts dated from the second half of the 2nd century to the penultimate decade of the 2nd century AD, one lamp of Loeschcke X type with FAOR mark, another with the same mark being dated to the last decade of the 2nd century AD, and the first third of the 3rd century AD. Loeschcke VIII lamps were dated, similar to Ivanyi VII/Bayley O-Q/Ponsich III B/Deneauve VIIA, Loeschcke X with IANVARI stamp, respectively Alicu XXI type lamps. In conclusion, there are more numerous occurences of imported lamps between the second quarter of the 2nd century AD, and the first third of the 3rd century AD., with a higher frequency in the second half of the 2nd century AD. Lamps of local production begin to circulate in the second half of the 2nd century AD, until the middle of the 2nd century AD, with greater frequency from the last decade of the 2nd century AD, to the middle of the 3rd century AD."
Women Entrepreneurs from Craiova in the Interwar Period

Published: January 2024

"In the present material, there was intended the presentation of some of the Romanian women entrepreneurs who developed sole partnership businesses in Craiova, in the interwar period, as they were recorded in the archival documents and in different edited sources. We notice that most entrepreneurs were housewives, they set up companies whose activities are handled by their husbands and, sometimes, their fathers, or a qualified person (he had a certificate) designated by proxy, but also people who had worked as commercial officials, gained experience working in commercial units, and who opened their own businesses. Analyzing the files of the companies registered with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Craiova, and registered in the Trade Register, we identified several profiles of the woman trader in Craiova: having her own business; as guardian of the minor heirs; after her husband’s bankruptcy; as a result of the death of the spouse; as heiress."

"The present study, based on the information provided by the performers from Oltenia, resulting from personal field research, as well as on older documentary sources, aims to analyse the role of women in the ritual practices over the year, meant to promote the health of the individual. In the first part, we emphasized the relationship between space and well-being, in the context of human existence, which is implicitly determined by the manifestations and developments of the individual, on the social scale, and by his intercommunity and spiritual relationships. Place and existence (man) are two indispensable and inter-crossing categories that attest and mark the life and the cultural dynamism of all the people: past, present and future. The human being lives in families, within the nation and in the community. This includes a space: home, household, groups of households. In the investigation part, we took into account the woman’s involvement in the habits over the year in Oltenia, related primarily to the good health of the individual, which, together with the spiritual integrity, is the guarantee of prosperity in all compartments of life.

The Army in the First Years of Communization in the Romanian Society
Authors:   Institutul de Cercetări Socio-Umane din Craiova „C.S. Nicolăescu-Plopșor”, SAVA Laura Antoaneta
Published: January 2024

The author of this presentation states that despite the efforts the Communists made to seize power in 1945, the military cadres were not “a silent sea”, even though the psychological strain was very great. But over the next three years the resistance of the command corps weakened. Because of abuses and material deprivation there were changes in attitude and mentality, without this meaning that Romanian generals and officers agreed with communist ideas. The technique and scheme of the army’s transition to communism were outlined, with the help of many unpublished documents, but it must be stressed that this cynical aggression against the military will bear fruit after the monarchy’s ambition.

Unfortunately it will take substantial time to reach the increased certainty.
Revictimización de niños y adolescentes por violación sexual y rol de los operadores de justicia de la selva peruana en el marco del derecho a la integridad
Authors: Campoverde Flores Erika Paola
Published: January 2024

El objetivo del estudio fue plantear un análisis crítico sobre el rol de los operadores de justicia de la selva peruana en el delito de violación sexual en agravio de niños y adolescentes. El foco de la atención está dado en la revictimización recurrente en este tipo de delito, la cual agrava más sus consecuencias, sobre todo, en el derecho a la integridad física, psíquica y emocional. A partir de una muestra selectiva de análisis de casos, desde un enfoque cualitativo, se aplicó un método hermenéutico y transversal, que permitió obtener datos objetivos y actualizados. Un accionar diligente, preventivo y empático por parte de las entidades competentes, puede evitar mayores daños a la víctima y desterrar la perniciosa práctica de la revictimización.

Filosofia e educação empráticas poéticas desobedientes no obedienceno
Authors: Kussler Leonardo Marques , Capra Carmen Lúcia
Published: January 2024

Este artigo discute o conceito de [des]obediência a partir da relação da filosofia e da educação em práticas poéticas desobedientes em cursos de graduação em Artes. O objetivo é tratar da possibilidade de se propor um modo mais performático de se discutir e praticar filosofia a partir de abordagens artísticasque podem ser encaradas como transgressoras a fim de escapar da sociedade de controle sutil contemporânea a partir de presenças de corpos e práticas comuns. Na primeira seção do texto, mostramos como o conceito de [des]obediência aparece em diferentes autores(as), mostramos a relação de abordagens filosóficas e poéticas acerca das formas de vida desobedientes e expomos como a arte contemporânea oferece subsídios para tal. Já na segunda seção, propomos uma análise imagética crítica e descritiva de registros em foto de atividades de extensão promovidas em uma universidade, conectando-as à noção de ensino transgressor e apresentando modos de pôr em prática formas de vida desobedientes via atividades especulativas e poéticas que convergem à formação de comuns.

Negotiating Inherent Asymmetries of Co-Design: A Case of Integrative Elementary Mathematics and Computer Science Instruction
Authors: Lee Victor , Robillard Stephanie , Recker Mimi , Clarke-Midura Jody , Shumway Jessica
Published: January 2024

Collaborative design, or “co-design”, is a term that has gained popularity in educational research and design communities, including those working with K-12 educators. While more groups are identifying with and pursuing co-design, much remains to be understood about how to structure the work within given different constraints, circumstances, and resources available to different parties. We propose understanding co-design as having inherent asymmetries and that structuring co-design work patterns involves negotiation of those asymmetries. Through a case of an elementary computer science and math integration research-practice partnership, we share ways that those asymmetries are both intentionally softened and leveraged at different times.
The Discourse of Collaboration in Instructional Design
Authors: Bevins Katherine , Howard Craig
Published: January 2024

We examined collaboration via the discourse of Instructional Designers (IDs) actively engaged in co-design. Discourse is language-in-use within a specific community as opposed to abstract notions of how words might fall together by more general rules of grammar and semantics. An analysis of discourse in a community of practice is a direct observation of the meaning-making process employed by members of that community. We collected and analyzed five audio recordings from Collaborative Project Meetings (CPM) among teams of IDs and clients to determine the types of design expertise that comprised the discourse of collaboration. Several findings from this study shed light on how instructional design benefits from collaborative strategies such as co-design. The content analysis revealed that the most prominent type of design discourse used by IDs was problem-solving, followed closely by discourse surrounding tools, and user experience; however other dynamics, such as gender balance and the presence of multiple instructional designers correlated with differences in instructional solutions.

Ativismo versus antagonismo: arte socialmente engajada, de Bourriaud a Bishop e além
Authors: Miller Jason , Batista Durante Milena
Published: January 2024

O autor analisa a crítica da historiadora da arte Claire Bishop ao conceito de estética relacional criado pelo curador Nicolas Bourriaud, em sua tentativa de teorização inicial das práticas coletivas, colaborativas e/ou participativas de crescente importância a partir dos anos 1990. Bishop propõe teoria alternativa: o antagonismo relacional. O posicionamento crítico do autor demonstra as complexas e problemáticas relações da utilização do conceito de antagonismo, de Chantal Mouffe, proveniente do campo político, ao ser transposto ao campo estético, conforme realizado por Bishop. Também aponta como o aspecto da conscientização pela estética, na perspectiva da historiadora da arte, prevalece em detrimento do ético. Inclui, ainda, contribuições de Mouffe em sua perspectiva estética e política das questões discutidas, e a separação por parte da crítica entre os conceitos de agonismo e antagonismo. Desse modo, o influente artigo de Bishop “Antagonismo e estética relacional” é discutido na complexa interação entre “socialidade, política, ética e estética”, trazendo questionamentos e posicionamentos importantes, especialmente no que concerne ao lugar do ético na crítica contemporânea.
