esign Patterns are simple sketches and annotations that get down to the essence of how a space works. These key ideas break down the complexity of school design as part of a system. Through the use of Patterns we can design and connect successful educational environments and experiences.
This paper describes a methodology for the analysis of classroom talk, called sociocultural discourse analysis, which focuses on the use of language as a social mode of thinking — a tool for teaching-and-learning, constructing knowledge, creating joint understanding and tackling problems collaboratively. It has been used in a series of school-based research projects in the UK and elsewhere and its use is illustrated with data from those projects. The methodology is expressly based on sociocultural theory and, in particular, on the Vygotskian conception of language as both a cultural and a psychological tool. Its application involves a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods and enables the study of both educational processes and learning outcomes. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR
Jewitt, C. (2008) ‘Multimodality and Literacy in school classrooms’, AERA Review of Research in Education, vol. 32, pp. 241–67.
In this article, Jewitt reviews research into multimodality and literacy in the classroom, and asks what these changes mean for being literate in contemporary society, where digital media are embedded in everyday literacy practices. Jewitt argues that the time for associating learning primarily with language and print literacy is over.
