Language and Literacy Development, Second Edition: What Educators Need to Know: Solving Problems in the Teaching of Literacy

Autor James P. Byrnes, Barbara A. Wasik
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 sep 2019

Notăm cu interes apariția ediției a doua a lucrării Language and Literacy Development, un text fundamental pentru cadrele didactice și specialiștii în educație care urmăresc optimizarea procesului de învățare a citit-scrisului. Relevanța acestei ediții este imediată pentru programele de certificare profesională, oferind o bază științifică solidă pentru înțelegerea modului în care competențele de limbaj vorbit fundamentează succesul ulterior în alfabetizare. Ediția actualizată răspunde nevoilor curriculare moderne prin integrarea unor date recente din studii longitudinale, punând un accent sporit pe diversitatea elevilor, inclusiv a celor care învață limba engleză ca limbă străină sau a copiilor cu dizabilități.

Putem afirma că structura cărții este remarcabil de coerentă, fiind împărțită în cinci secțiuni logice. Primele capitole explorează dezvoltarea creierului și fundamentele neurologice, urmate de o analiză detaliată a competențelor de vorbire (fonologie, vocabular, gramatică). Partea a treia se concentrează pe mecanismele lecturii și scrierii, în timp ce ultimele secțiuni abordează diferențele individuale, motivația și principiile de instruire eficientă. Merită menționat că autorul James P. Byrnes continuă aici explorarea intersecției dintre cogniție și educație, temă centrală și în lucrarea sa anterioară, Language, Literacy, and Cognitive Development, însă în acest volum pune un accent mult mai aplicat pe mediul școlar și pe nevoile educatorilor.

Ca alternativă la Handbook of Language and Literacy, Second Edition pentru cursurile de psihologia educației, volumul de față are avantajul unei abordări mai accesibile pentru studenții aflați la început de drum, fără a sacrifica rigoarea științifică. În timp ce Handbook of Language and Literacy, Second Edition funcționează ca o enciclopedie de referință extinsă, lucrarea de față, inclusă în seria Solving Problems in the Teaching of Literacy, este concepută ca un instrument practic, îmbogățit cu viniete și liste de idei principale care facilitează aplicarea teoriei la catedră.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte educatorilor și studenților la pedagogie care doresc să înțeleagă mecanismele neurologice și cognitive din spatele alfabetizării. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă clară asupra modului în care limbajul vorbit se transformă în abilități de citire și scriere, primind instrumente concrete pentru a sprijini copiii din medii defavorizate sau cu dificultăți de învățare. Este o resursă esențială pentru alinierea practicilor de clasă la cele mai noi descoperiri din neuroștiințe.


Despre autor

James P. Byrnes, PhD, este profesor de dezvoltare umană la Colegiul de Educație al Universității din Maryland, College Park, fiind o figură centrală în programul de Neuroștiințe și Științe Cognitive. Expertiza sa vastă acoperă domenii variate, de la învățarea matematicii și luarea deciziilor, până la diferențele etnice în performanța școlară. Fost vicepreședinte al Societății Jean Piaget și membru în comitetele editoriale ale unor publicații prestigioase precum Journal of Educational Psychology, Byrnes aduce în această lucrare o rigoare academică dublată de o înțelegere profundă a proceselor cognitive care stau la baza alfabetizării.


Descriere scurtă

This established text--now revised and updated--reveals how spoken language skills are acquired and how they affect children’s later reading and writing achievement. With a unique focus on the needs of educators, the book examines the foundations of language in the developing brain. It explores the relationship of language processes to core literacy skills and probes the impact of motivational and sociocultural factors on children’s learning. Implications of developmental knowledge for classroom instruction are highlighted, and effective practices reviewed. Revealing vignettes, clear explanations of research, and lists of “main ideas” enhance the text’s accessibility for preservice teachers.

New to This Edition

Notă biografică

James P. Byrnes, PhD, is Professor of Educational Psychology and Applied Developmental Science in the College of Education at Temple University. He was a Fellow of Division 15 (Educational Psychology) of the American Psychological Association between 2002 and 2018, has served as Vice President of the Jean Piaget Society, and was Associate Editor of the Journal of Cognition and Development. Dr. Byrnes has published over 100 books, chapters, and articles on areas of cognitive development, including language development, logical reasoning, and mathematical learning. His most recent work has focused primarily on developing and testing a comprehensive theoretical model of academic achievement (the opportunity–propensity model) in order to provide insight into ways to eliminate or substantially reduce gender, ethnic, and racial gaps in achievement. Dr. Byrnes has received awards for his teaching and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students.

Barbara A. Wasik, PhD, is Professor of Educational Psychology and holds the PNC Endowed Chair in Early Childhood in the College of Education at Temple University. She is a recipient of the University's Paul W. Eberman Faculty Research Award. Her research interests are emergent literacy and early intervention in beginning reading, with a focus on disadvantaged children. Dr. Wasik has extensive experience in program and curriculum development and is specifically interested in the role that teachers play in the development of children’s language and literacy skills. She has written several books and numerous articles on early literacy, one of which received the Dina Feitelson Research Award from the International Literacy Association. Also interested in educational policy issues, Dr. Wasik is the author of several papers that have affected teaching practices in classrooms.

Recenzii

"This updated second edition provides an accessible yet thorough overview of how children develop critical language and literacy skills and why these skills are so important. Particularly important is the strong review of how early development fosters skilled reading comprehension later on. Byrnes and Wasik are recognized experts who translate current research in a meaningful way to help transform readers’ understanding of the remarkable task of language and literacy acquisition in children."--Laura M. Justice, PhD, EHE Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology, The Ohio State University

“Once again, Byrnes and Wasik provide an incredibly readable summary of the latest research on language and literacy development--and, at the same time, they make strong links to the implications for classroom instruction. This is a unique volume that appropriately merges the literatures on oral language and literacy skills, while successfully bridging the divide between psychology and education. It is an essential book for graduate students who plan to be teachers, for current educators and administrators, and for psychology students with applied interests. I highly recommend this volume as a course text! It is ideal for graduate-level classes on language and literacy development. My graduate students appreciate the 'relevance' portions of the chapters, which help motivate their learning; and the main ideas that frame each chapter help me to organize class discussions. The increased focus throughout on English language learners is relevant and timely. What was already an indispensable classroom text is even better in this updated second edition."--Meredith L. Rowe, EdD, Saul Zaentz Professor of Early Learning and Development, Harvard Graduate School of Education

"The developmental perspective presented by Byrnes and Wasik is unique and important. The notion of 'education as a developmental mechanism' frames literacy learning as a pathway along which we need to recognize milestones and guide students accordingly. This book's message is that all students can achieve if we determine where they are and where they need to go--and offer experiences that are effective to help them get there."--Margaret G. McKeown, PhD, Senior Scientist, Learning Research and Development Center, University of Pittsburgh
