children and young adult literature Statement of Program and Library Needs: Children and young adult literature is a strong component of the teacher preparation programs in the College of Education and the College of Human Resources. Two courses are offered, Literature for Children, in the Arts and Sciences Department of English and Literature for Adolescents, in the College of Education's Curriculum and Instruction Division. Literature for Children focuses on the critical analysis and historical development of children's literature; Literature for Adolescents focuses on the analysis and selection of young adult literature for use in the classroom. In addition to supporting the curricula needs of these two specific courses, the collection also supports the needs of students in various courses offered in the College of Education and the College of Human Resources related to child development and the teaching of various subject content courses at the elementary and secondary levels. Students taking courses related to the teaching of reading, math, science, and social studies may need to draw on the juvenile collection and bibliographic/reference research tools. Students involved in field studies such as student teaching often require the need of the collection beyond what the local public school system can offer.

The World Literature Hypermedia Project created by Dr. Karen Droisen and Dr. J. Michael Stitt Challenges A number of years ago the University implemented an undergraduate requirement for a third English course specifically in literature; the English Department responded by creating surveys of world literature, English 231 and English 232. In recent years, the increasing size and complexity of the University and the Internet have provided unexpected challenges that we see as opportunities to apply new technology to these courses so that they will keep pace with the University’s mission and evolution. We propose an integrated, hypermedia CD-ROM/Web Site that will address both the institution-specific problem of staffing and the general challenge of expanding the undergraduate curriculum to take advantage of Internet technology. First is the problem of staffing. The Department strives to staff these courses with tenured and tenure-track faculty, but even experienced faculty face challenges developing the broadly comparative pedagogy that these courses require. The problem can be especially daunting for part-time instructors and graduate students. When the courses were instituted the Department secured an NEH grant to invite area specialists who assisted faculty in developing the necessary comparative approaches. However, as a result of recent Departmental expansion, the majority of our current faculty have not had the benefit of that experience, nor have any of the graduate students and part-time instructors who of necessity staff some sections. Our proposal offers a permanent solution in the spirit of that original NEH grant.

Assessment and Evaluation: Some Useful Principles The terms assessment and evaluation are often used as synonyms. Distinguishing between them can be helpful as you plan instruction. Assessment means looking at what students can do in order to determine what they need to learn to do next. That is, assessment, whether of individual students or an entire group, is done in order to inform instruction. Typically assessment is holistic, often recorded simply as "credit" or "no credit." Evaluation occurs after a concept or skill has been taught and practiced and is typically a scaled response, indicating the level of achievement or degree of competence a student has attained.

Simulations are activities that can be conducted in person or on a computer. In a person-based simulation, students might set up a class store or lemonade stand as a way of learning about money and the factors that influence supply and demand. Using computer-based simulation software, students might create and manage all aspects of planning and running a city. Virtual reality is a special technology-usually a special computer system-that allows students to explore an artificial environment through computer-created sensory stimuli. In a virtual reality environment, such as landing a plane or dissecting a frog, students interact with the environment and experience the results of their actions in real time.

After a failed attempt to leave the island in a leaky canoe, Karana decides to build a house and learn to hunt while waiting to be rescued. Her isolation from humans teaches her how to co-exist peacefully with the local wildlife, even the wild dog she considers her worst enemy. After many years, missionaries come to the island, and Karana, yearning for human companionship, goes with them to the mainland. A fictional reconstruction of a true story, Island of the Blue Dolphins depicts a character whose courage and determination help her survive against nearly impossible odds.

76. Books For All Times: Teaching Literature because good literature distills from life its essence by concentrating only onthe relevant. Consequently, it can be a dynamic learning tool for students and http://www.bfat.com/lit.htm

Teaching World Literature by Joe David W orld literature is more than just interesting stories of characters in action. It is the selective recreation of reality which, when presented from a historical perspective, can unlock the universe by providing an understanding of important abstractions, concretized by the storyline and characters. Through the dramatization of a historical moment, world literature thrusts students into a new world, or a familiar world, where abstracts, represented by the action and the characters, are given full life. Webster defines literature as "Writings having excellence of form or expression and expressing ideas of permanent or universal interest." I would like to add Aristotle's view. Unlike history, which represents life as it is, literature represents life as it might be or ought to be, and, for that reason, is of special importance to learning. What literature has that so few other tools for learning have is immediacy. It creates a moment that the reader can live vicariously. A slice of life is turned into a fully realized experience to support some abstract idea, which the entire story plays on in variation. Unlike real life with its share of irrelevant details, literature is more real than life itself. This is because good literature distills from life its essence by concentrating only on the relevant. Consequently, it can be a dynamic learning tool for students and, when properly presented, a profound influence on their intellectual development.

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).

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.
