The
Cognitive Model
·
“Empirically
based”
o
Reading
processes are quantifiable, testable and broken into a hierarchy of skills
·
Based
solely on a reader’s mental capacities
·
Schema
theory: importance of a reader’s prior knowledge
o
It
would seem that a reader’s social knowledge and context would play into this,
but cognitivists don’t address this
·
Objectivist:
there is one correct reading of a text
·
This
is an old, powerful model that has dominated perspectives on reading for a long
time
o
my
question: Seems to be the root of college SLOs?
The
Expressive Model
·
Readers
create their own personal, subjective meanings
·
No
hierarchy of skills, no direct instruction
·
Whole
Language pedagogies
·
Reader
response criticism
o
Democratized
the reading process
o
But
readers only looked at texts from their own point of view (too superficial)
o
Mainly
literary reading
The
Social-Cultural Model
·
Reading
is reconstructing a text on the basis of a reader’s cultural resources
·
Reading
used for shaping peoples cultural and political beliefs
·
Reading
is social
·
Critical
Literacy
o
Ability
to perceive the interconnectedness of social conditions and literacy practices
of a culture
o
Ability
to analyze those conditions and practices
o
And
possess the critical and political awareness to take action
