Ympäristöopissa kuvilla voidaan esittää sisältöjä, jotka eivät näyttäydy arkikokemukselle. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan monilukutaitoa peruskoulun ympäristöopin oppikirja-aukeaman äärellä verbaalisen ja visuaalisen modaliteetin työnjakoon fokusoiden. Peruskoulun toisen ja viidennen luokan oppilailta (N = 20) kysyttiin oppimateriaaliaukeaman avulla heidän silmäily- ja lukustrategioitaan. Tulokset osoittavat, että toisluokkalaisten silmäilyreitit ovat yhdenmukaisempia kuin viidesluokkalaisten. Useimmat oppilaat silmäilevät oppimateriaalia kuvavetoisesti, mutta kuvilla ei ole yhtä keskeistä roolia lukemisstrategioita kuvattaessa. Viidesluokkalaisten vastauksissa on havaittavissa enemmän tekstilajiin ja tekstin rakenteeseen liittyvistä kielennyksiä kuin kannanottoja kuvien tehtäviin. Oppilaat mielsivät tärkeimmän tiedon löytyvän sanallisesta tekstistä eivätkä he yhdistäneet kuvaa ja sanaa. Tulokset viittaavat tarpeeseen kehittää tietoisesti eri modaliteettien yhteen lukemisen strategioita. Multiliteracy when reading a school textbook: How do primary school pupils read the many modes in environmental studies textbook pages? Abstract This article approaches multiliteracies in primary school environmental studies (science), focusing on the interaction between verbal and visual modalities. Primary school pupils, year 2 (8-year-olds) and 5 (11-year-olds) (N = 20), were asked to demonstrate and explain their scanning and reading paths while multireading environmental studies textbooks. The majority of students browsed the actual material with an image-driven style while images did not play a central role when explaining reading patterns. The students thought that the most important information was found in the verbal text and did not combine the image with the written word. The results suggest a need to develop explicit instructional strategies for multiliteracies to enhance multimodal combining in making sense of texts. Keywords: Multiliteracy, multimodality, textbook, environmental studies, science, primary school

This article reports on a service learning project in a South African primary school teacher education programme, as experiential and practice-based pedagogy in a social studies methods course. We aimed to broaden understanding of service learning as a form of non-placement work-integrated learning for the development of teacher professional competencies. Student teachers drew on topics in the middle school social studies curriculum and incorporated Indigenous geographical elements with local community history in the design of a service learning ‘gallery walk’ for Grade 5 learners. Using a generic qualitative design, data were generated from students’ and teachers’ reflective journals, lesson plans, photographs and video recordings. It was analysed for common content themes and prominent discourse markers of students’ developing professional knowledge and competencies. The findings provide evidence of deepened student learning, particularly on the influence of context and curriculum differentiation and how their struggles with group work enabled the development of collaboration and cooperation required by professionals. In addition, the service learning prompted changing notions of citizenship and reciprocity of learning.
