Language and Cognition

378
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa.

We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Sociology
  • Civic Studies

Background:

  • Citizenship education often narrowly defines literacy as functional skills or basic knowledge of rights.
  • Existing models overlook the potential for literacy to develop through active civic participation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze evolving models of citizenship and redefine the relationship between literacy and citizenship.
  • To explore how literacy learning can emerge through active citizenship, not just for it.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of evolving citizenship models.
  • Drawing on ethnographic studies of literacy in everyday life.
  • Applying a social practice lens to literacy and citizenship.

Main Results:

  • Literacy learning can be an outcome of active citizenship.
  • Identifies symbolic and instrumental meanings of literacy in various contexts.
  • Highlights the importance of informal learning, critical digital literacy, and literature for empathy.

Conclusions:

  • Pedagogical approaches in citizenship education should incorporate a social practice view of literacy.
  • Participants should be viewed as co-constructors of texts, aligning with global citizenship education goals.
  • Fostering empathy and understanding requires recognizing diverse literacy practices.
