63.032 - Literary Reasoning and Interpretation as Cultural Repertoires of Practice

Sun, April 19, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Marriott, Floor: Sixth Level, Illinois

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The presentations in this symposium describe research on students’ everyday knowledge and resources as fundamental scaffolds for classroom instruction in literary interpretation. You’ll hear about related studies of instructional interventions that have taken up the premises of the Cultural Modeling Framework, in which teachers scaffold students’ prior knowledge, beliefs, and perceptions to support robust literary reasoning, with special attention to students from across culturally and socio-economically diverse backgrounds. You’ll also hear about the development of a scale that explores the relationship between readers’ skills and beliefs about literature.
Join us to talk about how researchers, teachers, and students can better understand and act on the fundamental relationship between students’ often unacknowledged personal and cultural resources and more formal academic worlds.
