Si bien la comunicación oral y escrita es determinante en el aprendizaje y la generación de conocimiento, en el ámbito académico aún representa un desafío, ya que exige ciertas convenciones y un rigor que con frecuencia resultan difíciles de lograr para aquellos que no han tenido la oportunidad de desarrollar estas habilidades. Para su mejor dominio, la lectura, la escritura y la oralidad requieren de un cultivo constante e intencionado. En ese tenor, los centros y programas de escritura se nos presentan como espacios de acompañamiento donde los estudiantes pueden mejorar las competencias de literacidad a partir de conocer la estructura y los géneros de la comunicación académica, ...
La Universidad se encuentra en pleno progreso desde su tiempo cero; de hecho, halla su carta de naturaleza en la necesidad de mejorar el medio que la nutre y por y para el que existe: la sociedad.Rompiendo las viejas membranas de la enseñanza imperante hasta el siglo XX, las nuevas (r)evoluciones de contenidos y fórmulas, como lo fuera el EEES (o Plan Bolonia) o las TIC, suponen la respuesta a esas actualizadas necesidades docentes y curriculares. Las Humanidades, las Artes, las Ciencias sociales y la Docencia se reescriben, hibridando, gracias a los nuevos lenguajes y herramientas, contenidos otrora lejanos. La nueva Academia es poliédrica, ínter y multi disciplinar, dialógica y colabo...
Imagery and Text: A Dual Coding Theory of Reading and Writing presents, for the first time, a unified theory of both reading and writing that derives from and is completely consistent with the Dual Coding Theory of cognition, one of the most influential and empirically sound theories of cognition ever developed. This is the first book to take a systematic theoretical approach to all of the central issues of literacy, including decoding, comprehension, and memory in reading; and planning, drafting, and reviewing in writing. Additionally, theoretical accounts are provided for such profound and elusive literacy concepts as meaning, engagement, inspiration, and persona. Dual Coding Theory is uni...
How can institutions develop and sustain writing across the curriculum (WAC) programs? This volume, written for faculty and administrators alike, answers that question. Chapters written by some of the foremost WAC directors and consultants in the country discuss how to get started, how to run WAC workshops, what role administrators can play, and how WAC can be integrated into the university curriculum. Also, there are pertinent chapters on developing permanent institutional support for WAC. Writing Across the Curriculum gives details about resources successful WAC programs need - administrators, coordinators, faculty who participate in workshops and seminars, support systems such as peer tutoring or writing centers, and institution-specific curricular models. The book assumes that WAC directors are learners as well as facilitators of learning, and asserts that they expand the definition of "good" writing through discussion with members of other disciplines.
From Librarian of Congress, James Billington, to founding director of the Center for the Book, John Cole, the leading-edge information specialists of the day share their insights on the role libraries play in advancing democracy.
Reviewers’ comments on the first edition “Zygmunt Bauman presents a cogently argued and compelling thesis... an important book from a distinguished scholar, that adds a new dimension to the poverty debate.”British Journal of Sociology “It will be of great interest and value to students, teachers and researchers in sociology and social policy… [Bauman] provides a very forceful and sophisticated statement of the case; and a very well written one too.
