Article Analysis
Part I - Read the
study by Azevedo and Cromley (2004) [Download
pdf] conducted with adults. In four pages, describe
how you would conduct this study with elementary or middle school
students to inform classroom instruction.
Part II - You have
been asked by the editors of Reading Research Quarterly to review the
study by Steinkuehler (2004). [Link
to website] Provide a 3-page review of this article to the
editors, following their guidelines.
Concentrate on the most problematic issues in the article and any
suggestions you have that will improve the study.
Part III - Now that
you have reviewed two very different approaches to research, describe
your stance to the position in the supplemental work below, taken by
Steinkuehler, Black, and Clinton (2004) [Download pdf]. How diverse should
we be with research methods on questions of new literacies? Which
principles should guide us? Frame your response around how you would
revise the What Works Clearinghouse (http://www.whatworks.ed.gov/)
and the role you believe this should play with informing public policy
and classroom instruction in reading and literacy instruction. You may
refer to each of the studies in Parts I and II if you wish. Cite other
research as appropriate. Take up to 5 pages to write your response.
