The findings and opinions expressed here do not necessarily reflect the position or policies of the sponsoring agency. National Research Center on Literature Teaching and Learning The National Research Center on Literature Teaching and Learning is a research and development center located at the University at Albany, State University of New York. The Center was established in 1987 (as the Center for the Learning and Teaching of Literature), and in January 1991 began a new, five-year cycle of work administered by the Office of Research, Office of Educational Research and Improvement, U.S. Department of Education. The Center's mission is to conduct research and sponsor activities to improve the teaching and learning of literature, preschool through grade 12, in schools across the nation. Center-sponsored research falls into three broad areas: teaching and learning processes, curriculum and assessment, and social and cultural traditions in the teaching and learning of literature. Special attention is given to the role of literature in the teaching and learning of students at risk for school failure, and to the development of higher-level literacy skills, literary understanding, and critical thinking in all students.

Roles for Multimedia in the Response-based Literature Classroom Carla Meskill and Karen Swan University at Albany, State University of New York Introduction Imagine a tool, a database of information, whose use promotes and supports rich conversation around works of literature; a tool that helps students make connections, build meaning and articulate their thinking. Imagine a class of twenty-seven high school students assigned to read Shakespeare for the first time. A large video monitor at the front of the classroom displays a vivid color image of pastoral Stratford-on-Avon. Their teacher selects many additional still images and video sequences from a computer-generated menu to facilitate a discussion that sets the scene for the play. These images cue and serve to illustrate students' discourse. The teacher may select scenes that depict the life and times of the playwright, the mise en scene for a variety of stage productions, thematic works of art, segments from today's media, or sample treatments of the work in contemporary film. Two days later, small groups of students are seated in front of a smaller version of this tool engaged in lively talk. One member clicks the mouse to access video, audio, text and graphics which group members work to relate to the play they are in the process of reading. Their task is to select and assemble such elements into a class presentation concerning an aspect of the piece. If the group becomes curious or puzzled, they can access and discuss elaborated explications. They can defend their interpretations and negotiate corresponding supporting materials.

Dissertation is hosted by Effects of a Technology Enriched Learning Environment on Student Development of Higher Order Thinking Skills Michael Hopson Chapter 2. Review of Literature An analysis of the literature regarding the use of technology as the focus for an "Information Age" instructional environment results in the identification of three broad topics. The first topic is easily identified as "Factors Encouraging Change." A second category in which a significant amount of research exists is "Cognitive Theory." Finally, there is considerable information regarding "Classroom Design." Factors Encouraging Change Ramirez (1994) notes that in response to the changing role of education in society, schools, districts, and states are developing higher standards or expectations for what they want their students to know and be able to do. Further, Ramirez observes that educators must recognize that all students require an education that enables them to master higher-order thinking skills because those skills are the ones that they will need in the workplace. Papert (1994,p.2 cited in Crawford, 1996) notes that "In the wake of the startling growth in science and technology in our recent past, some areas of human activity have undergone a megachange....School is a notable example of an area that has not." In a study of technology based mathematics classroom, Crawford, (1996) concludes that there are significant tensions between traditional forms of educational practice with traditional educational technologies and the new forms of cultural activity associated with the creative possibilities of new and complex technological systems. The greater marketplace reinforces these tensions, especially since the market for new technologies is driven primarily by a tradition based on the retrieval and storage of data rather than on reconfigured or constructive technologies that combine information and produce new knowledge systems (Privateer, 1997).

69. Themes & Literature Circles: Theory To Practice - Literature Circles students working on themed literature circles often ask questions that require resources students may also use the Internet as a communication tool. http://eduscapes.com/ladders/themes/circles.htm

Theory to Practice: Literature Circles Literature Circles involve a small group of students exploring a piece of literature in depth. Although you'll find lots of books and articles on the Literature Circles, there are many ways to implement the strategies across grade levels and subject areas. Think of literature circles as one element of a balanced literacy program rather than "the solution." In most cases, the application of literature circles evolves over time as students and teachers become more experienced readers. Check out the off-site resources by Katherine L. Schlick Noe titled Overview of Literature Circles The Approach This learner-centered approach focuses on students' responses to the literature they read. In Literature Circles, students are actively engaged in reading through making choices, discussing, and constructing meaning. This strategy engages students in higher-level thinking and reflection by encouraging collaboration and constructing meaning with other readers. These literary discussions are guided by student insights, observations, and questions. They may be related to the characters, setting, plot, and author, along with connections to student experiences. Learners often take on a variety of roles in their group and learn to facilitate their own discussions and projects.

Archived Information Tools for Schools - April 1998 Talent Development Middle School Student Team Literature Program What Is It? The Talent Development Middle School Student Team Literature program is a model for teaching reading, English, and language arts in the middle school grades. It changes both the instructional processes and the curriculum in middle grades reading and language arts to create a motivational climate and to further students' reading comprehension and understanding of good literature. The model couples a demanding, standards-driven curriculum provided to all students in 90 minute heterogeneous classes with an "double dose" computer-based reading/language arts curriculum for those students who need extra help to succeed in reading and language arts. The core Student Team Literature program includes: Curriculum materials, consisting of award winning novels and plays; Recommended instructional practices, peer assistance processes and assessments; and Staff development, mentoring and advising to support the curricular and instructional reforms. Because of the challenging nature of the curriculum, many students need extra help to succeed. Students needing extra help receive an accelerated learning class in addition to their regular 1 hour reading and language arts class. The "double dose" class replaces an elective course or gym for at least one quarter of each year.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Technology and Education Reform: Technical Research Report - August 1995 2. Review of Literature In this chapter, we provide a selective review of the literature on how technology can promote student learning. Since an exhaustive review is not possible, we attempt to illustrate the range of applications, along with a description of selected programs that represent key features. We continue with a description of ways in which technology can support student learning and the teacher activities needed to promote this kind of instruction. The final section discusses research on the effects of technology on student learning outcomes. Technologies for Learning Educational technologies are not single technologies but complex combinations of hardware and software. These technologies may employ some combination of audio channels, computer code, data, graphics, video, and text. Although technology applications are frequently characterized in terms of their most obvious or innovative feature (e.g., a high-speed data line or videoconferencing), from the standpoint of education, it is the nature of the instruction delivered that is important rather than the equipment delivering it. To organize our thinking for this study, we developed a scheme for classifying technologies according to the way they are used. Our categories are designed to highlight differences in the instructional purposes of various technology applications, but we recognize that purposes are not always distinct, and a particular application may in fact be used in several of these ways.

A Review of the Literature D aniel K ies D epartment of E nglish C ollege of D uPage D avies's first two questions concern improved accessibility and learning. A growing body of research indicates that computer networks are indeed a viable means to increase access to education. (And I have much more to say on that subject in the next section.) However, evidence on how they can improve learning is not as forthcoming. In fact, there is debate in the instructional design literature about whether there are any unique attributes of any media that can promote improved learning (Clark, 1983, 1994; Kozma, 1991, 1994). This debate stems from the observation that, after more than 50 years of research on instructional media, no consistent significant effects from any medium on learning have been demonstrated. Educational television is a case in point. Initially, hopes were high that television would have certain characteristics that would lead to improved student learning, but none have been found. Some argue that no effect can possibly be demonstrated, because any improvement in learning that may accrue will come from the instructional design , not the medium that delivers the instruction (e.g., Clark, 1994).
