  • developmental component based model of reading fluency an investigation of predictors of word reading fluency text reading fluency and reading comprehension
    Reading Research Quarterly, 2015
    Co-Authors: Young-suk Kim
    Abstract:

    The primary goal was to expand our understanding of text reading fluency (efficiency or automaticity)-how its relation to other constructs (e.g., word reading fluency and reading comprehension) changes over time and how it is different from word reading fluency and reading comprehension. We examined (1) developmentally changing relations among word reading fluency, listening comprehension, text reading fluency, and reading comprehension; (2) the relation of reading comprehension to text reading fluency; (3) unique emergent literacy predictors (i.e., phonological awareness, orthographic awareness, morphological awareness, letter name Knowledge, vocabulary) of text reading fluency vs. word reading fluency; and (4) unique language and cognitive predictors (e.g., vocabulary, grammatical Knowledge, Theory of mind) of text reading fluency vs. reading comprehension. These questions were addressed using longitudinal data (two timepoints; Mean age = 5;24 & 6;08) from Korean-speaking children (N = 143). Results showed that listening comprehension was related to text reading fluency at time 2, but not at time 1. At both times text reading fluency was related to reading comprehension, and reading comprehension was related to text reading fluency over and above word reading fluency and listening comprehension. Orthographic awareness was related to text reading fluency over and above other emergent literacy skills and word reading fluency. Vocabulary and grammatical Knowledge were independently related to text reading fluency and reading comprehension whereas Theory of mind was related to reading comprehension, but not text reading fluency. These results reveal developmental nature of relations and mechanism of text reading fluency in reading development.

  • Gramática, epistemología y pedagogía en el siglo XIX: la polémica colombiana sobre los elementos de la ideología de Destutt De Tracy (1870)
    Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, 2014
    Co-Authors: Saldarriaga Vélez Oscar
    Abstract:

    This article analyze the so called "Texts  question", a political and philosophical debate that took place in Colombia in 1870, about the scientific nature of the "Elements of ideology'' From the French Philosopher Desttut de Tracy. The article analyzes the debate's origin, the implicated actors and how this polemic declared an epistemological break that implied a new way to conceive the sciences, the language and the pedagogy in Colombia. This breaks determinate the local appropriation conditions from the positive sciences that emerged as the axe of modernity al the end of XIX century. Finally, there are hypothesis proposed about the experimental medicine method from the French Physician Claude Bernard as well as Knowledge Theory which enable the entry to an experimental episteme which had to be assumed by the incipient Colombian intellectuals.En el artículo se analiza la llamada "Cuestión Textos", un debate político y filosófico ocurrido en Colombia, en 1870, sobre la cientificidad de los Elementos de Ideología del filósofo francés Destutt de Tracy. Se analiza el origen del de¬bate, los actores implicados y cómo esta polémica manifestó una ruptura epistemológica que implicó una nueva forma de concebir las ciencias, el lenguaje y la pedagogía en Colombia. Esta ruptura determinó las condiciones locales de apropiación de las ciencias positivas que se erigieron como eje de la modernidad a fínales del siglo XIX. Por último, se proponen hipótesis sobre el método de Ia medicina experimental del fisiólogo francés Claude Bernard como teoría de conocimiento que posibilitó la entrada a una episteme experimental, que poco a poco tuvo que ser asumida por la incipiente intelectualidad colombiana

  • embodied practice claiming the body s experience agency and Knowledge for social work
    Social Work, 2002
    Co-Authors: Kathleen M Tangenberg, Susan P Kemp
    Abstract:

    ********** Although social work practice typically is concerned with physical conditions and experiences such as poverty, addiction, and violence, relatively little attention has been given to the body in professional literature. Emphasizing both physical and sociocultural dimensions of the body, this article argues for an invigorated, more complex understanding of the body in social work Theory, practice, and research. Drawing from scholarship in the humanities, social sciences, and social work, a framework involving three dimensions of the body is proposed for integration with accepted ecological practice models. The nature and implications of three primary dimensions of the body for multiple domains of social work practice are explored, citing examples from narratives of mothers living with HIV disease: (1) the experiencing body, focused on the physicality of daily life; (2) the body of power, focused on the physicality of oppression and marginality, typically based on race or ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, and illness; and (3) the client body, reflecting the bodily experiences of those identified as clients who participate in relationships with social workers. Key words: body; embodiment; Knowledge; Theory; postmodernism The "care and control" of client bodies, particularly disenfranchised bodies, lies at the heart of social work's disciplinary activities. In everyday practice, social workers routinely are involved with clients whose lives are profoundly influenced by traumatic, painful, or degrading bodily experiences, such as poverty, violence, addiction, chronic illness, or child maltreatment. Given this sustained, intimate connection with the body and its many and varied conditions, it is surprising that in its theoretical and practice frameworks social work pays relatively little attention to the body. This lack of conceptual development is mirrored in social work practice, where although client bodies are an integral part of daily practice, social work efforts are directed mostly to their surface attributes or to managing the consequences of bodily conditions, such as addiction or violence. A reading of current practice texts, for example, suggests that although the body is recognizably an important element in social wo rk practice--in clinical practice, for example, attention to body language and to the "visceral Knowledge" of the body are considered to be essential--little attention is given to issues of the body that transcend actual physical states, including social constructions of the body, mind and body relationships, and the role of power in determining how bodily Knowledge and experience are defined, interpreted, and managed. Largely missing from contemporary social work discourse, in other words, is the now widely accepted understanding that the body is both physical and socio-cultural: that it not only encompasses specific, personal, corporeal experiences but also experiences that are socially and culturally constructed and reflective of larger social arrangements. In this article we propose an invigorated, more complex understanding of the body and its Knowledge in social work Theory, practice, and research. Our arguments for "bringing the body back in" reflect and resonate with core concerns in the contemporary social work profession, which increasingly recognizes the value and salience of diverse and plural perspectives as well as the need for critical examination of prevailing social work orthodoxy (Robbins, 1999; Weick, 1999; Witkin, 1999). We are motivated also by a rich body of recent work in the humanities and the social sciences, which from a variety of different perspectives seeks to recenter the body as a focus of theoretical and practical concern (Ceronetti & Moore, 1998; Clark, 1999; Stensland & Malterud, 1999; Williams & Bendelow, 1998). In using this work, we are, however, mindful that social work has its own commitments and preoccupations, and that these require us to thread a path through these contributions that has integrity and meaning for this prof ession and its purposes. …
