When is a Frog a Book or a Book a Frog?

During early childhood, children adopt a design-based conception of books with increasing consistency. It is not clear if or how young children spontaneously indentify the myriad of commercially produced, book-related props, toys, and other materials as support for their early literacy activities. Guidelines for evaluating these supplementary materials are presented and thirteen books are reviewed and recommended.

在视觉艺术教学中如何培养大学生的视觉文化鉴赏力

当下视觉文化对于大学生的影响日益深入,如何培养大学生对视觉文化理性、客观、科学的鉴赏能力,这是我们应该予以最大关注的内容.教师正确的引导、加强自身学习和艺术实践是提高视觉文化鉴赏能力的必要手段,除此,在视觉艺术教学中培养大学生的视觉文化鉴赏能力还可以通过以下四个方面入手:一、学习视觉艺术的语言;二、在视觉艺术中发展各种观念;三、在视觉艺术中传递和阐述意图;四.在情景中了解视觉艺术.     

Txt msg n school literacy: does texting and knowledge of text abbreviations adversely affect children's literacy attainment?

This paper reports on two studies which investigated the relationship between children's texting behaviour, their knowledge of text abbreviations and their school attainment in written language skills. In Study One, 11–12‐year‐old children provided information on their texting behaviour. They were also asked to translate a standard English sentence into a text message and vice versa. The children's standardised verbal and non‐verbal reasoning scores were also obtained. Children who used their mobiles to send three or more text messages a day had significantly lower scores than children who sent none. However, the children who, when asked to write a text message, showed greater use of text abbreviations (‘textisms’) tended to have better performance on a measure of verbal reasoning ability, which is highly associated with Key Stage 2 (KS2) and 3 English scores. In Study Two, children's performance on writing measures was examined more specifically. Ten to eleven‐year‐old children were asked to complete another English to text message translation exercise. Spelling proficiency was also assessed, and KS2 Writing scores were obtained. Positive correlations between spelling ability and performance on the translation exercise were found, and group‐based comparisons based on the children's writing scores also showed that good writing attainment was associated with greater use of textisms, although the direction of this association is nor clear. Overall, these findings suggest that children's knowledge of textisms is not associated with poor written language outcomes for children in this age range.

Health literacy and consumer health information

The rigours of the past few years have demonstrated the importance of good health literacy levels with the imperative of being able to obtain and interpret information to maintain and improve one's health never more apparent. With this in mind, this issue is focused on consumer health information, the gender and population group differences that exist in information seeking behaviour, the challenges of understanding medical explanations and terminology, and existing criteria to assess and ultimately produce better consumer health information.     

信息素养和媒介素养教育的融合途径——联合国“媒介信息素养”的启示

[目的/意义]传统的信息素养教育强调检索技能和方法,联合国教科文组织近年来提出的"媒介信息素养"(简称MIL)概念,首次将媒介素养和信息素养融合形成复合型概念,对目前媒介融合环境下的信息素养教育有着指导性意义,明确提出和媒介素养融合的思路和策略,有利于提高信息素养教育的人文性和社会性,突破学科的局限性,探索新的跨学科结合点,实现创新和发展。[方法/过程]通过归纳分析近年来有关媒介素养和信息素养比较研究的成果,结合国内外的媒介信息素养理论和实践,尝试提出媒介素养和信息素养融合的途径。国内信息素养教育应融合媒介素养教育,实行参与式教学,革新在线课程,建立学科之间融合交流的平台,加强国际合作交流,发挥图书馆的中介作用,实现从技能型向素养型教育的转化。[结果/结论]信息素养教育需要避免单纯的技术至上的取向,将技能学习和媒介信息解读能力结合培养;与媒介素养结合是趋势所向,媒介信息素养概念的提出,拓展了信息素养的学科视野。

Early Literacy and the Public Library: An Opportunity of a Lifetime (of Reading)

In this article, author Bill Ptacek says that the future is now, and, at least from the 1970s through today, in the field of early childhood work, the future has come so fast that it is constantly upon us. That reality means that those concerned about young children in libraries have been about adaptation on a continuing basis. In this world of rapid change, innovation is constant: City firefighters come to the libraries in uniform to read stories to children, library outreach specialists take programs to daycare centers in their communities, and staff members create a space in a library devoted to early childhood reading. This tradition of rapid change means that the early childhood staff of most large public libraries in North America is changing for the future on a regular basis. The work unit should be considered seriously as one model for 21st century public library reform.
