Drawing Method

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan piirustusmetodin ja visuaalisen aineiston vahvuuksia ja heikkouksia perusopetuksessa vallitsevien kieli-ideologioiden tutkimuksessa ja sitä, kuinka metodilla tuotettu aineisto soveltuu luonnollistuneen ja itsestään selvänä pidetyn tavoittamiseen. Tutkimuksen aineisto koostuu 5.–6.-luokkalaisten koululaisten ja luokanopettajaopiskelijoiden piirustuksista suomen kielestä. Aineistona on 115 piirustusta, jotka on kerätty Oulun seudulta ja Helsingistä. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan piirustusmetodin käyttöä, sen vahvuuksia ja heikkouksia tutkimusstrategiana, sekä sitä, millaisen pohjan metodi aineiston analyysin valossa tarjoaa kieli-ideologisten prosessien tarkastelulle. Samalla selvitetään, millaisia visuaalisia elementtejä suomen kieleen piirustuksissa liitetään ja millaisia jaettuja suomen kielen representaatioita aineistossa esiintyy. Artikkelissa tarkastellaan piirustusten rakennetta ja luokitellaan niiden sisältöä laadullisen sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Tulokset osoittavat, että osallistujien visuaaliset representaatiot suomen kielestä ovat moninaisia. Aineistossa toistuvien elementtien ja tekstien avulla on mahdollista havaita toistuvia sosiaalisia ja kulttuurisia rakenteita, joihin osallistujat kielen liittävät. Vaikka piirustustehtävän tehtävänanto on abstraktiudessaan haasteellinen, piilee siinä myös sen toimivuus kieli-ideologioiden tarkastelun kannalta: vapaus piirtää mitä vain tuo esiin vallitsevien kieli-ideologioiden moninaisuuden sekä luonnollistuneet ja jaetut ajattelutavat. Tutkimus osoittaa, että piirustusmetodia voi soveltaa kieli-ideologioiden tutkimuksessa laajemmin kuin tähän asti. Tulokset osoittavat, että osallistujilla on jaettuja tapoja kuvata suomen kieltä. Representaatiot tuovat esiin kielen ja kansallisvaltion luonnollistuneen yhteyden. Koulujen kielitietoisen toiminnan ja niiden jatkuvasti moninaistuvan oppilasaineksen kannalta tulos on huomionarvoinen – visuaalisen aineiston valossa historiallisesti hyvin yksikielisessä ja kansallista yhtenäisyyttä ylläpitäneessä koulussa suomen kielen kuvaukset vaikuttavat edelleen voimakkaan kansallisilta.   Drawn representations of Finnish: the drawing method as a method of investigating language ideologies This paper observes the strengths and weaknesses of the drawing method and the use of visual data in analysing language ideologies in the context of basic education.  The data consists of 115 drawings of the “Finnish language” by primary school pupils and teacher trainees. The data is collected from Helsinki and the Oulu Region. The article examines the use of this method as well as the foundation which these drawings offer for an analysis of language-ideological processes. In addition, the article explores the different elements associated with the possible shared representations of Finnish. The structures of the drawings are observed and their contents analysed using Qualitative Content Analysis. The results show that participants’ visual representations of the Finnish language are manifold. Recurring elements enable one to observe the social and cultural structures associated with the language. Though challenging, this abstract assignment gives participants the freedom to draw anything at all, which highlights the sheer multiplicity of language ideologies and shared perceptions. This paper demonstrates that when examining language ideologies, the drawing method can be applied more broadly than until recently has been the case. The results show that participants share many views regarding the Finnish language, and their representations reveal the naturalised relation of language and nation state. The traditionally monolingual educational system in Finland has played an important role in maintaining national unity and, based on the visual data in this study, visual representations of the Finnish language still appear bound to the idea of the nation state.

ABSTRACT Using the lens of Street (1984; [1995]2014; 2003; 2010; 2012), this article firstly aims at discussing the contemporary literacy practices young readers and writers of fanfics engage in when inserted in the affinity spaces of fan literature. This discussion is based on the concept of ideological literacy proposed by the author and dialogues with the concept of multiliteracies, outlined by the New London Group (CAZDEN; COPE et al, 1996) and expanded by several authors such as Cope; Kalantzis (2000), Gee (2000), Rojo (2012) and Kleiman; Sito (2016), among others. These contemporary literacy practices, understood, therefore, as the social use of language, were studied from an ethnographic perspective (HEATH; STREET, 2008). Data was generated from the field observation on two fanfic self-publishing platforms and from literacy events occurring in rounds of conversation, within the scope of the Junior Scientific Initiation Project. (PICJr-049), promoted by a traditional federal institution of basic education in Rio de Janeiro. The social models of literacy used by participants in literacy events (HEATH, 1982; STREET, 2012) signals that designs are (re)shaped according to the interactional context of these participants. This article also proposes a reflection on the language ideologies underlying the discourse of the students participating in the PICJr-049. This analysis is oriented by Volóchinov’s concept of ideology ([1929]2017) and the notion of language ideology, as discussed in the studies by Woolard (1998) and Kroskrity (2004). In the analysis, it was observed that the students reinforce language ideologies anchored in the legitimation of the educated norm of the Portuguese language and in the privilege of literary canons in school literacy practices.

Grand Duchy

Muslim presence in Lithuania, though already addressed from many angles, has not hitherto been approached from either the perspective of the social contract theories or of the compliance with Muslim jurisprudence. The author argues that through choice of non-Muslim Grand Duchy of Lithuania as their adopted Motherland, Muslim Tatars effectively entered into a unique (yet, from the point of Hanafi fiqh, arguably Islamically valid) social contract with the non-Muslim state and society. The article follows the development of this social contract since its inception in the fourteenth century all the way into the nation-state of Lithuania that emerged in the beginning of the twentieth century and continues until the present. The epitome of the social contract under investigation is the official granting in 1995 to Muslim Tatars of a status of one of the nine traditional faiths in Lithuania with all the ensuing political, legal and social consequences for both the Muslim minority and the state.

The author analyses Grzegorz Królikiewicz’s Trees (1994) in two ways: as a metaphor of the Polish post-1989 transition, and as an eco-horror presenting the complexity of relations between human and plant world. This binary interpretation attempts to answer the question about the causes of the failure of Trees as a film project. The film itself may also be interpreted as a story about historical conditions that affect the ability to create visual representations of the social costs of political changes, as well as ecocritical issues.

The Indigenous people of Malaysia are a heterogeneous community scattered over more than 852 villages in Peninsular Malaysia. This community has been identified to be among the poorest and marginalized in Peninsular Malaysia. This study evaluates the well-being factors as well as problems that hinder the development of an Indigenous community in Peninsular Malaysia. This article adopted a quantitative approach based on data collected through survey and 2,136 respondents were interviewed. The study reveals that the Indigenous community is likely to remain poor in terms of economic status significantly because of insufficient access to basic education and the inability of being employed. This is also due to the inability to receive support for housing, economic livelihood, and other social infrastructures. In addition, the study indicates that economic status and access to education are the most significant factors that may help improve the overall well-being of an Indigenous community. This finding also suggests that the social and environmental aspects in Peninsular Malaysia have not improved together with economic development.

This paper is a qualitative content analysis of public tweets made during the Indigenous social movement, Idle No More, containing the #upsettler and #upsettlers hashtags. Using settler colonial theory coupled with previous literature on Twitter during social movements as a guiding framework, this study identifies how settler colonial relations were being constructed on Twitter and how functions of the social networking tool such as the hashtag impacted this process. By examining and analyzing the content of 278 tweets, this study illustrates that Twitter is a site where conversations about race relations in Canada are taking place and that the use of the hashtag function plays a vital role in expanding the reach of this online discussion and creating a sense of solidarity or community among users.

Background/Context This essay is a part of a special issue that emerges from a year-long faculty seminar at Teachers College, Columbia University. The seminar's purpose has been to examine in fresh terms the nexus of globalization, education, and citizenship. Participants come from diverse fields of research and practice, among them art education, comparative education, curriculum and teaching, language studies, philosophy of education, social studies, and technology. They bring to the table different scholarly frameworks drawn from the social sciences and humanities. They accepted invitations to participate because of their respective research interests, all of which touch on education in a globalized world. They were also intrigued by an all-too-rare opportunity to study in seminar conditions with colleagues from different fields, with whom they might otherwise never interact given the harried conditions of university life today. Participants found the seminar generative in terms of ideas about globalization, education, and citizenship. Participants also appreciated what, for them, became a novel and rich occasion for professional and personal growth. Purpose/Objective With globalization—a term that signifies the ever-increasing interconnectedness of markets, communications and human migration—social and economic divides in countries around the world are hindering the access of many people to the major institutions of society, including and especially education. My goal in this essay is to reflect on the dilemma that John Dewey identified in Democracy and Education regarding the “full social ends of education” and the agency of the nation-state. Against the historical background of the nation-state's control of the meaning of public education, my intent is to search for new meanings defining public education through human agency and social movements, using Mexico as an example. My essay, written on the 200th anniversary of Mexico's Independence in 1810 and on the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, reflects on these two major events and how they contributed to shifts in the social meaning of education over time. Two groups—women and indigenous people—did not benefit proportion-ately from education, citizenship and social opportunity. My argument is that the empowerment of women and indigenous groups took place not because of state action but because of social movements contesting the restricted identity and incomplete citizenship provided for them through the capacity of the nation-state. It is crucial to understand the “full social ends of education” to see the way forward in strengthening education, citizenship and social opportunity. Conclusions/ Recommendations My participation in the faculty seminar and the readings we discussed led me towards the rediscovery of the writings of John Dewey, which stimulated my thinking about the “full social ends of education” against the historical background of the nation-state's control of the meaning of public education and my own inquiry to search for new meanings of public education through human agency and social movements. Moreover, the writings of Dewey during his visit to Mexico in 1926 opened a new research agenda for me. I have become increasingly interested in a period of Mexican education that is not well researched, particularly the role of John Dewey's students at Teachers College, Columbia University in the development of Mexico's public education system during the 1920s and 1930s and the creation of the Mexican rural schools and the middle schools during that era.

Food Education

PurposeThe importance of food education in primary schools has been globally recognised. However, more detailed definitions of its learning objectives are rarely found. The study aimed to define multisectoral themes and learning objectives for food education in primary education in Finland.Design/methodology/approachA descriptive three-round Delphi study was conducted with experts in food education in various organisations. In the first questionnaire, the participants were asked to define possible objectives for food education related to general objectives for basic education. Respondents of the first questionnaire formed a research panel (n = 22). These panellists were then invited to complete the second (n = 16) and third questionnaires (n = 12), where the objectives were further modified. Qualitative content analysis and Bloom's taxonomy were applied in the process of creating the learning objectives.FindingsIn the iterative process, 42 learning objectives for food education in primary schools were defined. Further, “Sustainability and ethics of food systems” was defined as the cross-cutting theme of food education. In addition, 13 subthemes were defined, which fell into three thematic categories: personal (e.g. feelings), practical (e.g. eating) and intangible (e.g. culture) issues.Originality/valueThe defined learning objectives for a holistic food education may be used in advancing primary school curriculum in Finland and perhaps other countries.

Republic Of Turkey

Since the 1950s, historiographical trends in scholarship have re-considered the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent nation-state building of the Republic of Turkey. The social and political evolution of the imperial system into a nation-state has been alternatively explained through geopolitical pressures, domestic resistance, the expanding economy and modernism in Europe, and the inability of the Ottoman establishment to cope with the rapid changes of the nineteenth century. Constructing one holistic narrative of a vast time period of upheaval is a difficult endeavor for any scholar. In the case of the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of the Republic of Turkey, ethno-religious networks, two world wars, geopolitical competition between the great powers, regional and pan-regional insurgencies, demographic displacement, nationalist fervor sweeping through the Balkan and Arab provinces and into Anatolia, and finally the Kurdish armed resistance renders succinct historical narratives all but impossible to achieve. Thus, while there are many stories of the end of the Ottoman Empire, an overview of the issues for students and general audiences is a much needed, but audacious, undertaking. Yet for understanding the Middle East and Southeastern Europe today, a critical narrative must be told in all its complexity.

En este artículo se expone un análisis sobre las representaciones que construyen docentes en torno al significante “reforma educativa” en el contexto de la educación básica, se presenta como ámbito de estudio la Escuela Primaria Colegio Cristóbal Colón en el estado de Veracruz, México, durante el ciclo escolar 2010-2011. Las preguntas centrales de esta investigación giran en torno a los significados construidos por las docentes respecto del término “reforma educativa” en la institución mencionada. En este abordaje se exponen los recursos procedentes de la teoría de las representaciones sociales, además de las dos categorías intermedias construidas en esta investigación: la primera se denomina reforma regional en perspectiva; la segunda, efecto de cambio y progreso. En este sentido la investigación permite conocer que las docentes significaron la interpelación de la RIEB 2009 como un llamado a la modificación de sus estrategias didácticas, identificando la reforma educativa como cambio curricular. AbstractThis article presents an analysis of the representations that teachers make about one term “educational reform” in the context of the basic education, in the Elementary School Cristóbal Colón in the state of Veracruz, Mexico; during the 2010-2011 school year. The core questions of this research are looking for the meanings given to the term “education reform” by the teachers in that institution. In this approach we take resources from the Theory of the Social Representations adding two mezzo categories created in this research: the first is called regional reform in perspective; the second is the effect of change and progress. In that direction this research allows to know that the teachers taken the interpellation from de RIEB as a request to modify their teaching strategies, they identified the educational reform as curriculum change. Recibido: 28 de julio de 2015Aceptado: 06 de noviembre de 2015

Abstract Negative attitudes of non-Singaporeans towards Singapore Colloquial English (SCE) are often used to support the Speak Good English Movement in Singapore. This article examines spontaneous metalinguistic discourse about SCE in an online Facebook group where Taiwanese migrants in Singapore gather for mutual support. Based on the idea that metalinguistic discourse is mediated through the social relation between interlocutors, this study reveals how the language ideologies surfacing in the investigated online space are formed through stance-taking processes between people sharing a nationality. We argue that this spatial context elicits and escalates negative ideologies of SCE, which are situated in popular hierarchies of varieties of English, and also hierarchies of Mandarin.
